Numrich shows a #4 sear as standard for a 3rd gen S&W. Midway advertises a #5 and a#6 sear. What is the difference vs. a #4? If I have a gun with a stiff single action trigger (DA is fine) would a different sear help or should I just work on the existing sear? I have had experience with...

A local gun shop was out of Federal red box 357 158 grain ammo. They suggested Independence 357 made by Federal. If it is made by Federal, it should be good. Any one here have experience with this ammo?

Anyone have an accuracy load for the 10mm in a Colt? I want to use 155 gr bullets at 1300 fps or better (just so it is faster than a common 357 158 grain at 1240 fps). I am not concerned if the recommend bullet is HP or SP of FMJ.

I hear stories that 110 gr and 125 gr ammo will cause flame cutting in a Smith or Colt upper frame. Is this for real or is it a net rumor? If real how many rounds does it take to do this?

A gentleman I know retired from hunting and wanted to sell some of his guns. One rifle interested me, A Sako Finnwolf .308 lever action with a Weaver K4. It looks similar to a Winchester 88, but a lot, lot nicer. Anyone have experience with these? Any suggestions on value on one in VVVG...

I just got into the office and one of my co-workers came in asking for a signoff on a document. When I dated it I said "It is Pearl Harbor day". He acted kind of surprised, it didn't register with him. We talked briefly and he said he wasn't sure what year that was. That was ancient history...

Yesterday, I was outside stringing Christmas lights when a Colorado Dept of Wildlife pickup parks in front of the house. The officer said she was looking for an injured buck that needed to be put down and asked to go in my back yard to see if she could spot the buck up in our scrub oak. I said...

I see some ads listing the full size guns as Version 1 or Version 3 etc. What are the differences?
