I've heard people say never clean a barrel by pushing the bore brush through the muzzle end(the opposite direction that a bullet would travel). In most of my gun manuals, it's recommended that you start cleaning the barrel by "pushing" the bore brush through the barrel starting from the...

I just bought a used Sig 229 at a good price but found out that it's 11 years old. It looks to be in great shape and the day I purchased it, I ran 125 rounds through it with no problems at all and I was realy impressed by it's accuracy. Would anyone have any concerns about carrying a...

I have the opportunity to buy either a used Sig 229 for $300 or a new Glock 23 for $440. The Sig comes with interchangable .40 and .357 barrels and nite sites. I don't know how old it is but the seller says he had less than 1K rounds through it. Any input would be helpful.

I know it's an unsafe practice, but I was looking at new guns and the salesman was showing me one in particular. He was showing me how easy it was to disassemble but he was doing it with the magazine still in the gun. He didn't force the slide off the frame, but it seemed like it took a little...

I currently have the Walther P99c QA and think it's a pretty solid gun. I'm debating on whether I should purchase the Glock 26 and maybe put the Walther up on consignment. I really only want one CCW but want the most reliable, all around gun for that purpose. Also, my Walther has the Eagle...

My local gun dealer gave me a quote of $440 for the Glock 23 and a price of $700 for the H&K USPc. The H&K comes with nights sites and 3 magazines whereas as the Glock is NIB 2 mags factory sites. What is the better deal dollar for dollar? Is the quality/reliability of the H&K for $260...

My local dealer gave me quotes for the following: CZ RAMI $525 Compact DEsert Eagle $515 H&K USPc $700 Glock 23 $440 I'm actually leaning more towards an all steel model as I already have a polymer handgun. What is the most reputable manufacturer and what would be the best buy for my...

My gun dealer doesn't have it in stock and would have to special order it if I wanted it. In terms of compact handguns, the Glock 27 and H&K P2000SK don't fit my stubby fingers too well. The SPringfield XD subcompact, Taurus Mil PRo and Walther P99C fit my hands really well. Before I...

Is the Baby Eagle an improved version of the Jericho? I believe that Israel Weapons Industries is the maker of the Baby Eagle and Magnum Research imports them. How reputable is Israel Weapons Industries compared to say Heckler and Koch or Sigarms?

Is Beretta coming out with a sub compact version of the PX4 anytime soon?

I have the P99c and I'm a little confused about the decocking procedure. After I insert a full mag and chamber a round, the pistol is ready to fire unless I decock it. When the pistol is decocked, am I correct in saying that the only way to fire a round is to rack the slide back slightly...

I'm debating between purchasing the Beretta PX4 and H&K's USPc, .40. I know that H&K's reputation precedes itself in terms of quality and reliability, but the cheapest one I could find is $700. I also like the idea of having a safety which the USPc provides. I handled the PX4 and while it's...

I recently took my .38 snub nose revolver to the range and put a couple boxes of ammo through it. After the session, I cleaned and oiled the gun, making sure I oiled each chamber and the barrel really well. I reloaded the gun with the personal defense ammo I usually carry and noticed that the...
