S&W recalled Response for a danger or out-of-battery detonation. See the announcement: https://www.smith-wesson.com/safety/recall/sw-response-consumer-safety-alert The 9mm OOB fire is not very dramatic. The troops had OOB in SMGs in WW2 all the time. Chamber dirty, cartridge does not go all...

Unfortunately, the previous thread{1} got closed, so here's the news: Ruger LC Carbine in .45 ACP{2}. Uses G21 magazines, unexpectedly (I say that because Ruger still make Ruger American in .45{3}). Can a 10mm version be far behind? {1}...

Recently I was looking for a .22LR rifle, and generally narrowed it down to Ruger American Rimfire or CZ 457. However, because of certain circumstances, I need to keep the length to a minimum when transporting the rifle. Neither Ruger nor CZ offer a takedown version (Ruger has a takedown 10/22...

My prehistoric SeeAll popped the light collector. I reckon, all it needs is a dab of glue. But what glue is the most suitable? Both parts appear to be made of hard plastic, possibly acrylic.

My G42 guns always provided me with an outstanding, impeccable reliability. However, that was while I carried off-body (in a fanny pack and other such means). A couple of years ago, I switched to OWB/IWB method. After that, my trusty G42 started to make a burble. And it wasn't a regular kind of...

Posting this in "General" discussion in case revolver guys can lend their expertise too. I have a Shield 45 with a banner on the slide that's painted white from the factory. I wish to remove the white paint without damaging the finish. Does anyone know of a specific concoction that works on S&W...

I'm thinking about trying sporting clay, but all I have is a Nova with a short cylinder barrel. Local club allows 26" and longer barrels. So I thought about buying a new barrel for the Nova, but apparently factory barrels are not available. Midway has Carlson brand barrel for about $300. Are...

Am I correct to assume that no company makes a replacement top rail with Acro rail section? Otherwise, two ways appear to exist to secure an Acro to Victory: 1. Use the "22mm" adapter to Picatinny rail, and the factory rail. 2. Use an adapter for Acro rail to RMR footprint like ones by KE...

I found that DeSantis MiniScabbard, an OWB holster, works great IWB on the other side: possibly better than its intended OWB method. When carried as designed, it sticks away from the body too much and prints a lot. But this inversion is very comfortable and offers a low profile. Like many...

Seen at Fediverse today, the rack of a gun store: https://noagendasocial.com/@The717/105906136700121022 Among all kinds of typical AR-15, they have these 4 guns, which look like a batch of identical units (cropped from the original photo): So, what are they? The magazines are far too...

With the rising popularity of 5.7 a question arises where to shoot it. I suppose a 2-gun match may be amenable if they allow stuff like Nagant and 7.65 French Long. But what if I don't want to travel to Arizona? As I understand, USPSA and IDPA do not have a class set up for it. Not even in Steel...

Rumors are that the announcement was made during some kind of "online SHOT Show" streaming event, and a supposed screencap is floating around. Anyone knows for sure if this is legitimate?

Ian McCollum espouses a theory of recoil at times that posits: most of the recoil is transmitted to the shooter when the action stops in its rearward position. Therefore, constant recoil systems work by not letting the bolt, carrier, or slide to slam the receiver. Instead, the motion of the...

I noticed just now that safety on SR22 is backwards (like Beretta, perhaps). Since the gun is DA/SA, is there a way make it decoker-only? It can be done on Beretta, but it's not as trivial as removing a detent. Beretta kit adds a spring that returns the lever to the fire position. So, how about...

I prefer to number magazines and it seemed like a good idea to stamp numbers on them. To that end, I got a cheap set of stamps by Tekton (well, my daughter gave it for my birthday). My first attempts were to jam a chunk of wood inside, in order to prevent the magazine from collapsing, holding...

I had a case failure in my 9mm AR yesterday. No injuries. Still, I'm thinking about putting a heavier buffer into it, under a suspicion that it extracts while pressure is still too high. I already checked that the case sits deep enough in the chamber, so that's not it. But before I go wild with...

We all know about Polymer80. Go to Brownells', order the kit, done. All you need is a hand drill and a pen knife. It's as easy as it can be. MUP is a bit more involving. It includes an HK-style bending jig and generally needs a little planning ahead. Instructions are next to absent. But as far...

At least in a typical 9mm bolt, there is a long section of the striker channel that is too thin for Q-tip to fit. It goes from the bolt face, under the extractor, and ends a shoulder where the striker return spring sits. So, how do you guys clean that section of the channel? Tried a web...

At a popular request -- that is to say, because a guy at a gun show asked me -- I made an adapter for 9mm SIG magazines. I based it on the old Fraurem adapter for Walther PPQ. It was a little bit challenging. P320 magazines are noticeably tilted, as well as fat, so the usual interference with...

I'm having a very strange accuracy problem with a 9mm P80 with a Faxon barrel. It sounds unbelievable, but please hear me out. Here's a target at 10 yards: Looks like nothing special - it's what happens when someone jerks the trigger, right? But nope. Here's what really happens: The shots...
