ok, I've done a detail strip of a Glock slide a few times. Some guides state that the extractor guide and spring assembly should be inserted into the slide with the spring closest to the extractor. Others say say the reverse. So, which is it? Would the guide rod be closer to the extractor or...

Just messing around with the camera. This is a GP100 Wiley Clapp I picked up at a recent gunshot. Great price also and I find myself impressed with the gun although I am generally a Smith guy.

Make me happy. My present collection. 625-2 Model of 1986, 22-4, 25-5, 25-2. Still looking for a short barreled 25-2, but those are hard to find, but overall, pretty good cross-section of the breed. Post up some of yours for inspiration as to what I should add next.

Have a bunch of double action revolvers, but feel that I need a single action to round out the collection. After a bunch of research, I think I'm going to go with Ruger Blackhawk Stainless .45 Convertible. I already have double action revolvers in both calibers. I just can't decide between...

Collecting Smiths can be an addiction, but occasionally there are moments of joy. Like finding this Pre-10 in pretty good condition for $100.00.

I bet he wishes that he had never seen Mr. Martin. Don't want to make this a George Zimmerman thread, but it is difficult not to draw the lesson that you want to do anything possible to avoid getting yourself into a bad situation with a gun.

I find that I am prone to getting squibs. I'm am being conservative, but I don't think I should be getting squibs. I found a nice load for .38, but decided to use .357 cases. I was using Berry's RN 158 plated with 4.7 grain Unique. In the .357 case, I went to 5.0 Unique. OAL 1.570. S&B...

This subject has been brought up as the result of Oscar Pistorius case (http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/explainer/2013/02/oscar_pistorius_could_sleepiness_have_caused_him_to_mistake_reeva_steenkamp.html) I have always been interested if anyone has put forward a conscious (or...

A person who has suffered a gun violence tragedy (Giffords, Brady, etc) is not automatically given a pass on critique of their reasoning when they make a voluntary choice to enter into a public debate. The critique of their reasoning is not an invalidation of their loss. It is appalling that...

Howdy all, Have been workin my way into loading for awhile. Read alot. Came across a good deal on an RL550B and am now set up to go. Dillon is right up the street so it seemed to be the way to go. I have decided to start with .38 special. Here is where I think it prudent to start. 1. Berry's...

Who else besides Grant Cunningham give revolver specific training. I am thinking defensive training. Certainly nothing against Grant, I am looking at his schedule and it is limited.

Driven by the horse thread. I have noticed that I am often able to come up on deer, yokes, and other animals when on my mountain bike. Also, I can cover a lot of ground. So my thought is that a mountain bike with a light trailer may not be a bad hunting rig in the right situation. Has anyone...

Been looking for a 27 for a long time, and came across this 27-1. One owner since new. Had some old rubber grips, so I put on some grips I took off my 629-3. It was a little dirty and had white grease all over the place, but cleaned up nicely. Originally came with an 8 3/4 barrel, but owner...

Been on the lookout for a 27 to add to my Smith collection and have run across a 27-1. Its a 4 inch. Bluing is in 97% shape. No box. Not original grips. Mechanically seems very good with little apparent use. But. The under lug is not flush with the frame where the under lug joins with the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZrdbSJVSVM&feature=youtube_gdata_player Yes, the music is silly. We obviously do not have all the information, but I am not sure I would have gone for it with the child there unless the robber was an imminent threat which we cannot tell from the video. The shots...

OK, so I am curious where I am on the spectrum, so has anyone else timed their draw? Criteria: 1. Random Tone. 2. Leather holster, Milt Sparks, VMII. 3. Covered with a zipped up fleece, my standard cover garment. 4. Commander length 1911. 5. 20 feet 6. Single headshot, bridge of nose...

Local gunshop was having a black Friday sale on various LE trade ins and they had some G19's, 3rd Gen, for about $350.00. Took a look at a few and they were in really good nick. Little bit of holster wear, but I doubt they had 1000 rounds through them. One I got has barely any wear. Never...

Came across a YHM-15 Diamond Spectre AR-15. I was impressed, but could not find any reviews or comments. Anyone own one, or get to play with one?

Okay, I have approximately $600.00-$700.00 to spend on a new or used gun. For the first time, I don't know what I want. I have most of the bases covered. So just throw some things out there and help me get intrigued.

I am having the worst luck with guns lately. I don't even want to go into my Dan Wesson issues. Shooting my 1983 Nickel 586 (no dash) (also no mod) with Magtech 158 grain .357 and right after a shot, the cylinder locks up. Can't cock it, can't pull the trigger, can't open the cylinder. I...
