... would be willing to do a little measuring for me ? My situation is thus: I have both TLR-1 and TLR-2 units as they are my favorite pic rail light/laser thingamie. Problem is, I have a platform with a section of rail and area that is simply too short for the TLR 1/2 body to fit into. So, I'm...

Explanation behind this: I ordered a non-factory set of grips from an eBay seller ( spdcustomgrips) and they aren't right. The messed up thing is that this seller has the largest selection by far of non-factory custom grips on there and I assume they are doing them all incorrectly. The ones...

So, I've been carrying a full size, lightweight frame, 1911 for years now. The loaded lightweight from Springfield here. Important to note here is that I prefer a carry gun that can double as a reasonable target gun. http://www.springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=21 Lately, I've been...

Picked up a gun today that I've been trying to get my hands on one of for almost 2 years now. The CZ SP-01. It's not that it's an incredibly rare gun, but none of the stores anywhere near me ever carried the CZ brand in stock. When I looked into ordering one, the price was just never right. On...

Are they really suddenly so rare ? It was only a few years ago that perfectly new ones seemed to be easy to find for 10 to 15 bucks a pop. And now that I need a few I'm finding them not only difficult to find but also they seem to be at least $25 bare minimum for the few beat up old ones out...

This actually applies to me in the immediate sense, so I'm hoping for some quick answers. I need to visit an enlisted man (whom I barely know) stationed on base here in NY at West Point later this evening to view and possibly buy a firearm related part from him. I'm in New York and have an...

These type of rifles are not my forte , but someone local is selling them at these prices. He says they are all in mint condition, but I haven't seen them to verify. I'm just curious if any of these is a particular steal. "The TD 22 is an Interarms clone of a Browning auto TD 22 $175 Also...

Maybe it's not the biggest deal , but I really think Bersa ( Eagle Imports) Customer service should have done a little better. Here's what happened: I heard a loud "Spa-toooing !!!" noise in the house. Eventually I tracked it down to my rack of pistols. What had happened is that one of the lips...

Ok, at first glance S&T seems a weird place for this topic, but I can make a perfectly valid line of reasoning for putting it here at the same time as asking my question. In discussions with friends and colleagues regarding tactical solutions, one of the topics that I've recently been toying...

This is a tough one, probably impossible. There was a fellow on the local craigslist asking for help identifying his knife. Out of curiosity, just for fun, and hoping I might be able to help, I requested he send a few better pictures and some info. Posted below are the pictures he sent me. He...

Deleted - I posted a fake news story by accident. Sorry folks. edited by xavier at the request of hexidismal: the story: Debunked here at Snopes. Different General same old chestnut. It's fake.

Here we go.. let the laughing commence. To be fair, I just couldn't help myself.. I am just NOT this 'tacticool' :P After posting this the TLR2 is going back on the gun. The Laserlyte/Ka-Bar Pistol bayonet (on a Ruger P345). Actually though, not a bad conversation piece for $30 I guess. Also...

I've seen the colored flip up filters for weapon mounted flashlights like the TLR-2, M6X , etc . Now, the IR filters , that one makes obvious sense if one intends to use alongside night vision technology. For the life of me though, I cannot figure out what the Red, Blue, and Green filters are...

I know this post is coming in a little late for Christmas time , but I thought it might give some of you some holiday cheer. Two holiday blasts from the past. ( The colt one is really great :) )

Source: http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=666880 Interesting article, in that they don't explain in what way the prop gun had to do with his death exactly. Considering the "head injury" , one has to assume he put the blank gun to his own head and pulled the trigger ?

I have a few potential buyers for this Model 60 ladysmith .357. I'm unsure of what to ask for it, given the crazy current market. I'm more of a buyer than a seller really. It is in almost new condition ( apprx. 15 rounds fired ). It's the model with the rosewood badger grips, and has the...

I've got sort of an interesting situation here, and I wonder (as the title implies) how some of you would handle it. No doubt this must have happened to some of you before.. My current girlfriend has this friend in the area. I think it's important to note that it's sort of her only friend in...

I've got a bunch of stainless revolvers, and none blued. Well.. one, but its not a shooter. Bluing isn't my thing. Normally when you see pics of Corian grips it'll be on a blued gun because of the good contrast. I'd like to see some of your pictures specifically of corian grips on medium and...

So, I've recently tasked myself (just for heck of it) with finding this part for someone who needs one. It's as stated in the title: An extractor for a Mark 3 Commando "Tommy-gun" clone in .45Auto, made by Volunteer Arms in the 70's. Any and all help in location the part would be greatly...

Friend of mine contacted me and sent along just this one pic of this rifle. He knows I'm a "gun guy", but honestly my tastes and knowledge are more modern. (Unless we're talking old smiths) . So anyway, old rifles aren't my thing and never have been. I know it's not much to go on, but I figured...
