They sell leather holsters on EBay and Amazon under $50. They have good reviews but I am skeptical how truthful they are since these seem to be shipped from overseas . Anyone knows anything?

Not that I would have money to buy one at the moment anyway, but I came across a comment somewhere recently, where a gunsmith apparently gave him advice not to go for one bc “ spare parts for original Pythons are harder and harder to find, and fitting is very time consuming and requires a great...

Have Taurus 692 , maybe five hundred rounds fired all together ( 357, 38, 9mm) since I purchased it several years ago. Sadly, most of rounds were probably 9mm instead of 38/357 due to ammo pricing and availability. Anywho, I did remove side plate once several years ago , did some light...

He lives in the apartment and doesn’t want to deal with cleaning his own guns ( time spent, chemicals) . So at our range for $10 you can rent unlimited number of handguns. I can see his point, but I still want to shoot my own guns. At range , he rents identical models of the handguns he owns ...

I have my eyes set on a 5 inch model , but looks like SW makes smooth cylender models only at the moment. Some older YouTube videos show fluted models as well. I know that mechanically doesn’t make difference , but aesthetically, I prefer fluted cylinder …

Going to the open range soon and would like to catch some 357, 38 and 9mm bullets fired from handguns. Plan is to put sand in the bigger bucket and fire from above . Should I wet the sand or just keep it dry ? Would either one deform hollow points ? ( I cannot take 20 milk jugs and keep...

Basically my AR is pulling to the left a little bit and I was wondering if instead of travelling to big open range and using 5.56 ammo, going to a local indoor range instead and using 22LR to try to correct windage as much as possible at 75 feet ? What are your thoughts?

So at least you don’t clean THEM along with guns shot ?

I heard that before and after just getting my first one for the heck of it - I agree. It was a great range toy where I was able to blow up some soda cans , water jugs, and launch old fire extinguisher 30 feet into the air after hitting it with a 3” deer slug. but : -shooting any kind of 3”...

I am talking about shooting 100 rounds of non-corrosive ammo, then clean/oil barrel only, repeat those range visits and barrel cleaning only every few months and then detail clean and oil entire gun once a year. Is that ok? That will change my current routine of cleaning everything after every...

I guess that most people will say gas tube, is there anything else that is “common knowledge”? I just feel that part of responsible gun ownership is to eventually clean all parts that get dirty- especially ones that are carbon fouled. ( Once in a while, with oiled rag, I even wipe down AK’s...

Today was my third range trip with my new gun, the first was 50 rounds of Blazer brass, second 50 rounds of Herter’s 115 gr FMJ. No issues on first two trips. Today I took another box of the same Herter’s ammo that I got at Cabela’s recently , so it is the same batch. I had a total of 4...

the reason is that this gun has a pretty strong recoil spring and racking it may be a problem for my wife - I am also not comfortable with her just grabbing a gun ( if needed ) , and it is already fully loaded , she doesn’t have a good finger discipline and rarely goes to the range. This way...

I got myself today Canik TP9 Sfx, that I am planning to have as a new primary home defense gun (taking over from CZ75). The problem is that even I have enough FMJ’s, I have maybe 50 rounds combined of two different kinds of hollow points. One kind is generic hollow point, pretty “normal”...

Do you have any words of advice for me? I have a good full time job, but this is opportunity for me to make some extra money on days off. like everything that is retail-related, the pay is not going to be that great , but I though that this would be environment that I will enjoy - I have...

… after being test fired? Has anyone seen this first hand? I got some of my brand new guns with dirty barrel, but I would imagine that before being shipped to dealers, the norm is that they get cleaned. How is this done with a production with most likely of hundreds of guns daily

Any idea how to get them out? And before I get asked “why in the world would you clean that place?” , let me make clear , no I don’t “have OCD when it comes to cleaning guns” like some people like to brag about their detail oriented gun cleaning habits. It is just that once in a while, I clean...

Does anyone have experience with these? Got them relatively cheap at the gun show Very snappy with advertised muzzle velocity of 850 FPS even from 357 6” revolver. Pretty accurate at 40-50 yards. Very unpleasant from 38 SPL 4” revolver. As you can see it is aluminum case and bullet is seated...

I realize that they are busy, but this is really weird: I ordered a gun I liked on 11/15/20, they did not have my LGS’ FFL on file so I uploaded it the same night, took them 8 days to verify it, then I made few phone calls and emails to see when finally I can expect it to be shipped, rep told...

Hello, used 3/32 pin punch to remove a roll pin per instruction video ( for SAR 9 striker pin held in place) . It became so badly deformed that there was no way I could put it back Now I need to order a new one- do I reorder the same as pin punch used or slightly larger ? Also,is there a...
