    At the present time, Ruger only endorses the HKS speedloader for use with the LCR. Has anyone had personal experience/success using Safariland Comp I speedloaders with the LCR? How about Maxfire M4K's?

    Problem Using Aluminum .22LR Upper on Stainless Frame?

    Is there a problem using a aluminum .22LR upper (Marvel Unit 1) on a stainless 1911 frame? I've heard of, in passing, references to bad things that can happen when dissimilar metals (such as aluminum and stainless) remain in contact or work against each other for periods of time, but never...

    Classic Lee Loader-45ACP-More Trouble Than Worth?

    I'm looking into a Classic Lee Loader as an intro to reloading. If all goes well, I'll probably work my way into the more expensive equipment that undoubtedly will make the job easier. That said, the Lee website says that "considerable force is required for sizing" in the .45ACP kit. While I...

    Difference in Weight: Fully Loaded Glock 19 vs. 1911?

    Since I don't have a postal-type scale, I figured I'd ask and see if someone else had answered this inquiry for themselves.... How much does a fully-loaded Glock compact weigh (Glock 19, 23, or 32), and how much does a fully-loaded (7+1) carbon-steel (not stainless) 1911 government model...

    Germany With Your Gun

    Although I've taken a look at the German laws and regulations regarding firearms ownership, understand they are pretty oppressive, and certainly don't count on CCW/Waffenschein while over there, it appears to me that it is possible to bring a marksmanship pistol with you (my Wilson 1911 w/Marvel...

    Grips For Colt Detective Special

    Just scored an excellent condition Colt Detective Special that will likely become the primary carry piece once I put a few hundred rounds and a couple of IDPA matches through it. The only mod I will make to the gun is a set of grips to replace the oversize, square-butt ones that came with the...
