    S&W 619 questions

    What can you folks tell me about this gun? I did a search but I didn’t find too much recent information. Looks like it was introduced in late ‘04 or early ’05, and has now been discontinued, does this sound right? What should they sell for new? Used? I’d appreciate any information you can pass...

    Western Auto 22

    A friend of mine ask me if I knew who made the 22's that were sold by Western Auto. Of course I don't have a clue so I thought I'd ask here. He said it was a single shot bolt action. Thanks.

    Which mid-length AR?

    I’ve been thinking about buying an AR, and I’ve pretty much settled on a Rock River. Either the Elite CAR A4 or the Mid-Length A4. I’m having troubling figuring out the difference between the two. The Elite has a Hogue grip and the tactical carry handle but that’s about the only differences I...

    Need a rear sight to go with HiViz Front?

    I’d like to find a rear sight for my Glock 17 that will work with the HiViz front I have now. Something like the Warren/Sevigny or the Heinie slant pro is what I’m thinking. I want to make sure the height and width of what I get works well with what I have. I’d also look at adjustable sights...

    S&W 547

    I know next to nothing about revolvers but I'm thinking I'd like to find a 9mm and the 4" 547 is just about what I am looking for (I don't want a J-frame). The largest size that will fit an IDPA box is what I'm after. I assume they use moonclips? If so are those easy to find? The prices I have...

    Hearing Protection Questions

    I’ve got a couple of hearing protection questions: What is the minimum recommended NRR? Right now the highest rating I’ve seen is 30dB, in the “AO Safety/ Peltor Bullseye 10” (I’m sure there are others with this rating as well). Am I going to get much higher than that? Does it even matter –...

    Hampton VA show?

    Has anybody on here been to a gunshow in Hampton? I notice that the folks putting it on are different than those who put on the ones I've been to in Richmond. Am I going to see anything different than what I see up here? Any reason I should definitely go or not go? I'm thinking about running...

    Straw purchase question.

    --First off this is just a question I have been pondering. I have NO intention of doing anything remotely illegal.-- I know that having someone (who can’t buy legally themselves) give you the money to buy a gun, you go buy it, and then give it to that person is a straw purchase. What if...

    Some IDPA rule questions

    I have been reading the IDPA rule book and I’ve come up with a couple of questions I thought someone here might be able to help me with. “Competitors must use the same capacity magazines through out the competition (Example: if you start with a 9 round magazine, you must use that capacity...

    Glock extractor spring question -

    What would be the consequences of putting the extractor spring in backwards on a Glock? I detailed stripped my 17 for the first time today and with the exception of this little hiccup there were no problems. I thought it looked a little funny so I checked another of my glocks and sure enough I...

    WInchester SXT?

    What do you folks think of the Winchester SXT hp’s in 9mm? I recently bought some for about half the price I had been paying for speer gold dots. It’s about time to do a carry ammo switch and I thought I would get a few opinions. Are they considered to be of the same general quality as gold...

    Rounds at IDPA matches?

    For those of you who shoot IDPA, how many rounds do you usually go through at a match? I am new to this and I have competed in 4 matches at 3 different clubs. At the club I've been to twice I went through about 175-200 rounds (shooting 2nd gun both times) each match. At the other two clubs I...

    Glock Magazine

    Last week I bought a Glock 31 and today was really the first day I’ve had a chance to shoot. So I start loading magazines and it seems like the 15th round went in fairly easy, so I try to load another, it goes in fine. I am looking at the ammo box counting the empty holes and sure enough there...

    New, (well like new) Glock 31

    Is a Glock 22 barrel all I need to change on a 31 to convert it to .40? Will the mags work as is? It is probably a little early to think about this since I haven’t even fired the 31, but I am curious? By the way I am new to the 357 sig and I did a search but I didn’t come up with much. Any...

    Colt Navy?

    Can anyone give me any information about a Colt Navy revolver? I know absolutely nothing about these but I may have a chance to buy one at a reasonable price from a friend of my dad. My dad knows even less than me about them but he is supposed to get some more information today. Here is what I...

    CZ 75 "stuff"

    I have looked around for some accessories for my CZ 75 but I haven't had much luck. Can anyone recommend a good source for CZ holsters, mags, etc.? Which magazines should I look for only factory, mec-gar, pro-mag? I have just started shooting some IDPA and would like to get the stuff I need to...

    What's next?

    I know this gets asked all of the time but I need a little advice. I currently have a Glock 17, a CZ 75 (9mm), and a 1911 in .45. Right now I am thinking about a Glock 21 or maybe even a 31 as the .357 sig interests me. What do you guys think? What is the logical progression from here? I was...

    Winchester M77

    Does anybody have any experience with these .22's? I recently bought one for $119, tax and all. For a blue and wood semi-auto I figure that is a decent deal. Figured the magazine is worth a third of that. Anyway, the gun is pretty accurate and fairly reliable. Mine has trouble if I put more than...

    Where to find a RRA AR in VA

    I have pretty much settled on a RRA Varmint A4. Does anybody know of a shop near Richmond Va that stocks Rock River stuff? Anywhere in Va? What about N.C. or Tenessee? I really would like to compare the 16" to the 20". Also, I would pay a little more if it meant I actually got to see the rifle...

    shooting sticks

    This isn't my idea but i thought I would share it. The other day I made a set of shooting sticks out of a couple of old arrow shafts and a rubber band. I paid $2 for the arrow shafts (junk box at sporting goods store, could have probably gotten them free) and $1.50 for 50 rubber bands used to...
