I also have both the 10mm and .45 versions (both 5") and the only thing I didn't love about them was the black-oxide, MIM controls, which tend to rust when I carry concealed. I fixed that problem by coating the black pieces with electroless nickel. It only made a great pistol even better.

As I understood it from my CHL class back in the mid-90s, businesses wanting to ban CHL carriers from their premises had to have a legal justification (like being a hospital or a dedicated bar netting 51% of their income from booze) for posting a 30.06 sign. If a place didn't post an official...

G20 owner I am the opposite of a Glock Fanboy, but I received a G20 with night-sights as a gift. PROS: Shockingly accurate -- way better than a S&W 1006, standard EAA Witness. Equal to the EAA Witness Match. Usual Glock reliability. Tons of factory and aftermarket support. CONS: Grip angle...

For almost twenty years, I have NOT been without a Ruger .45 ACP of some stripe, but for reasons I’ve long forgotten, about a decade ago, I sold my well-loved P90 and bought a P345. And – don’t get me wrong -- I like the P345 a lot. It’s lighter than the P90 and certainly more compact, with no...

The first time it happened, I had to use a plastic mallet to tap a patch down the pipe, and when it exited, it drove out a curlicue of silvery lead the size of a fingernail clipping. I have no reason to suspect the most recent culprit is anything different, but I'll double check anyway. And I...

I've done a search on this topic, and I think I'm sensing a trend, but I want to solicit some more testimony. I've owned two Ruger MkIIs and now a MkIII Hunter. The Mark Twos never leaded up, but the Hunter does so about every 200 rounds, regardless of ammo, regardless of cooling periods...

When I go on long motorcycle trips, I carry a full-sized, high-capacity weapon (either a Taurus PT99 or a Glock 20) in a left-handed Uncle Mike's rig so I can continue to control the throttle and brake with my right. I do practice left (weak) handed at the range but I DO NOT practice shooting...

Call a gun store in a neighboring county. Explain your situation. And try more than one; interpretations may differ.

I've owned all three and each is an excellent weapon. Other posters have mentioned some of the foibles of the three, but I'll posit this: The P90 is the longest-established and has the most support in the way of holsters, grips, lanyards (with the optional loop) etc. The P345 is the most...

Even though I just bought an STI Spartan, and it locks up like a bank vault, and I wouldn't trade it for anything right at this moment, I'm going ask if you've considered Ruger: P90 if concealability isn't an issue, P345 if it is. Or P97 if you don't need an accessory rail and want to go for...

Hit that beauty with some Flitz; you'll be amazed how she'll clean up. And don't get me started on the whips. They're almost as expensive as the gun!

John 79: Absolutely! I've owned both, and I could push the .40 noticably faster than the .625. But due to the extra mass, the Sixty-two packs more wallop. (This sounds like the new 9mm vs .45 debate!) :)

Sorry if there is already a thread on this one, but I'd like some info on S&W's 1911A1 .45 offerings. I have a bid on one over on Gunbroker and -- despite about an hour of searching THR -- I can't find many reviews. I'll take facts, rumors, innuendo, anything. But save the Smith-bashing; I...

He won't do it, Guillermo. He's in for the long haul. He is a decendant of Gun People but not strong in the faith himself. Me, I couldn't do it. But luckily, I don't have that problem. My wife, sister to the hoplophobe, keeps her Kimber on the nightstand But I will pass this info along...

It's still his gun. His wife just can't sleep if they're in the house. Everybody in our circle has tried to reason with her on this, but in textbook phobic fashion, her attitude falls outside of reason. I made it clear to him that they were still his guns and he could shoot them any time he...

Never mind; I just checked the official blog. They got the rights to the Bren Ten name. Cool!

My brother-in-law's wife, being a raging hoplophobe, asked me to take possession of the two pistols they inherited from his father. They were described to me as "junky thirty-eights, one a derringer and the other a snub-nose revolver with a crack in the frame." After much discussion (I had to...

Is it out, yet? I was receiving semi-regular updates from the company on the progress of the Fortis pistol, but I haven't heard anything in months. Has a release date been set?

P90 vs P345 I love them both, but they have different strengths. The P345 is lighter, slimmer and stubbier (slightly) than the P90. It's not a micro 1911, but it's much more concealable than its larger cousin. The only flaw for me was the grip shape. It was TOO slim; a Hogue Hand-all...

+1 for the arched I had a 1006 with the flat grip and it was one of the few pistols I found painful to shoot. I now have a 4506 with the arched and couldn't be happier. I agree with the previous poster who said the Hogue grips are too "tacky" -- as in sticky. It may depend on hand size --...
