    RCBS Dry Case Neck Lube For Handgun Brass ?

    Since I started using carbide & titanium dies decades ago for handgun brass I've never had any need for any lube but since acquiring new Starline .45 Colt brass I'm thinking some on these may make things easier & smoother on me and my ancient Lee hand press. I know there are many products...

    New Acquisition, Another Turk 9mm

    Tisas Zigana PX-9. I read & watched many reviews on these beforehand. They come with 2-18 round mags which are compatible with the Sig P226. I have an SAR9 that I shoot so this one will just be a backup / trade fodder for now.

    New SAR9

    I walked out of town a mile this morning and firing commenced @ 6am. My new SAR9 9mm functioned perfectly in all manner, is more than combat accurate and I'm by no means a great marksman. All shooting was from 7 yards standing. Primer dents were adequately deep and well centered. Ejection was a...

    Mak-90 Value ?

    An elderly close friend who does not keep up with firearm values is wanting to sell his Norinco Mak-90 7.62x39mm. He says he bought it decades ago, test fired it on just one outing, cleaned it and it's been in his safe ever since. He says it's in very good condition inside & out and ran...

    Cimarron Pistolero .45 Colt

    I got out to shoot my newly acquired Cimarron Pistolero .45 Colt . I'd rather the grip frame not be brass but for the price I got it for I can live with it. The action is smooth, lockup & timing seems fine so far and it has a good trigger. Fired primer dents were deep & well centered. I...

    If anyone has one of these I'd sure appreciate hearing your opinion on it as far as if it's been trouble free for X amount of rounds, if the firing pin is on the hammer, etc. A picture would be great showing how they stamp the caliber on the barrel. I thank you in advance.
