Does anyone know of someone they could recommend to cut and crown a revolver barrel in Texas, preferably near Dallas, but I am flexible.

I have been looking for a revolver and was planning on picking up a switch cylinder 45LC/45ACP but happened upon this 10mm Super Redhawk. I have a bunch of 10mm and 40 S&W that I no longer had a user for and ... this. Anyhow, my thoughts were to put a red dot reflex sight on it but I am finding...

Over the years I have had just about every conceivable type of firearm. From shotguns, to rifles, to semi-auto's and wheel guns. Even a derringer or two. For home protection I always fell back on a good shotgun. I have carried DA/SA's, strikers and SAO's in various flavors. Today I have been...

So I am contemplating replacing my P229 Legion with a P229 Elite Dark. Main reasoning is this. Mainly because I really like the adjustable combat sites on the Elite Dark and the full bevertail and, for some odd reason, I am treating the Legion like it was a prom queen (afraid to get its dress...

i am interested in thoughts between the pistols noted below for a dedicated target only gun I can modify to my taste. I am looking for something that will be very accurate and be a good candidate for modification (good aftermarket support). The three I have in mind; - SIG P226 - 92FS...

So last week I picked up a used .45 to add to the collection. After an abysmal time on the range with it I gave up and took it back to the LGS to swap it for something else. I had really been in the market for another .45 but could not really find anything I wanted that was less than $1,000...

So, I suspect I know the answer to this question, but I am was going through my guns thinning out and ran across my old Contender in 45/70 with a 10 Hunter barrel. I used to love shooting this from time to time, but that was back when I was younger and dumber. Regardless I still remember I...

So, in another thread, I was contemplating replacing my PX4 Storm SD with either a FNX 45 Tactical or a P220. I decided today to go with the P220 Carry I got a good deal on a used P220 with G10 grips, SRT and Grey Guns trigger. Can't wait to get it to the range. I want to mainly use this...

So, what is the prevailing view of the FNX-45 Tactical? I have a Beretta M9A1 that I love but a PX4-SD (45) that I am not as enamored with. So I am thinking about trying out the FNX to replace the SD. Any of you who have had experience with the SD and the FNX, that would be valuable to...

So, first off, forget "which" caliber. Which is not important. The idea is, aside from the obvious cost and consistency advantage, is there an advantage to migrating to a single caliber? Over the last few years I have found that I have migrated to having essentially three calibers. Of...

So I am thinking about picking up a 92. I let my son get away with the Italian 92FS I had when he left for the Navy. You guys know I have written a lot about my love affair with the PX4 Storm line and the recent purchase of the SD version has me hankering for another 92. Now, the there...

So in the past week I have encountered a situation that has me pondering something akin to performance .vs value quandary. Without going into the gory details and naming names, I have had two recent purchases of $1000+ guns require warranty repair after less than 500 rounds through both...

I am curious if anyone who has one of these might be able to answer this question for me; For my PX4 Storm FS and Compact I am thinking, that since the frames are the same and only the grip and barrel length are slightly different; I am thinking that if I get the FS version of this holster I...

So, as I have noted recently I have been going through a bunch of platform consolidation and reworking of my reloading setup. Mainly because my wife and I are moving into the "empty nest" years (that's how she puts it, I call it "getting the kids off the payroll years"). As such I have been...

Since you guys helped me with the decision on the new .45 decision, I thought I would post this simple build here as I go. For those who did not tune in for the previous post, I was looking for a new .45 Semi to mess with. I had decided on a Sig P227 SAS Gen 2 but after waiting a week (yes, I...

So since I decided to keep my EMP, one of the items I want to do is replace the Ambi safety with a single side safety that will carry easier. I had been looking at various Wilson Combat, Harrison and Ed Brown replacements, then a comment I read on one of their sights got me to thinking...

So after picking up a few new guns lately, most notably a PX4 Storm Compact and a Sig P229 Legion, I was planning on thinning out some of my other guns. One of these is my Springfield EMP. It has been a fine little gun that has never given me a lick of issue, digested everything I fed it...

So I have been a bit on a buying/trading spree of late. I am marking it up to a late-life crisis (I had my mid-life crisis at 39 when I bought a Corvett and a Harley, so I need a new excuse at 53). I have thinned out the gun cabinet, sold a few, traded a few and have a few on consignment right...

1911 R1 Build As I noted in another thread, I was searching for a Mil-Spec 1911 to do a build on. After a lot of great input from the inmates here, I decided upon a Remington 1911 R1. So to begin this journey, let’s start with why I chose this 1911 and initial impressions. As Mil-Spec 1911’s...

So, some time ago I sold off my 1911's because, effectively, I had done what I wanted to do with them and then got bored. I have the same problem with motorcycles. Build it, ride it, sell it ... build another. So, I began thinking about getting another 1911 and started looking at the many...
