Are Star bm9 pistols drop safe when the hammer is down on a loaded round?

Has quality and consistency of the steel, aluminum etc. used since the USA plant got going seem better than the hit& miss stuff they used in Brazil? I think it is. With the better QC I may actually buy another now after having trouble in the past ( other than my old m. 85).

Visiting NC from FL and wondering if I can buy a handgun from an FFL here for transport back to FL via car? Or can I buy and ship FFL to ffl? My ccw shares reciprocity if that matters.

I want a sbs for the house with a 12” pattern from a 12 ga., at 20 feet. Open cylinder. What length barrel would I need to stamp? Would I get more burn from a 20 gauge in that length barrel? High brass, oo to 0000 buck? Thanks

Can wiping down a grip/ slide, etc hurt a modern finish on a S&W blued or non-stainless pistol?

Is .22wrf like a .22wmr ‘short’? A shorter case but still more powerful than .22lr? Thanks

Used to not be hard; but I am actually having trouble finding a leather pancake no-cant vertical holster for a 3” k frame. Much less a basic open top without a thumb break . I’ll solve my left handed holster problem if I get that far. I carry just forward of the hip & vertical draw is easier for...

Looking at the blued 3” Talo gp100. I saw a Gunbroker dealer with two auctions of the same model ( 01790); but one listing ended with an L1 after the model number; and the other listing had an L2. Both arex 01790 models. What is the diff between the two, or is there one? Are the diff L...

Has anyone come out with an aftermarket adjustable rear sight for the p365xl? May be fun to try groups at range distances out beyond 25-30yds without the holdover guesswork.

Was the Border Patrol .357 a variant or maybe later ‘cousin’ of the Colt Trooper ?

Picked up a Sig p365xl today. Loading up the 12-round mags using thumbs (no plastic cheater) the last 3 are very, very hard to get in Took the mags apart and all seemed well; a drop of oil smeared around inside and put back together, but same trouble. Yes they are 12 round mags, and my hand...

Is Taurus using better and more consistent steel and metals in their USA factory? Has quality control at least stepped up? The complaints about their revolvers and pistols really seen to have dropped; in the electronic morass of the net’ anyway. They are of course very close copies of S&W as...

(Note: 230 NOT 930, doh) Found a very nice Sig 230 in a pawn shop. It is Chambered in 9x18 Ultra. I have not heard of that type of 9x18 ammo before. Apparently it was created by Germany for use by the Luftwaffe or something around 1936. In mid-1970’s it was chambered in different handguns (only...

I have been thinking about adding a new Heritage Barkeeper (now newly owned by Taurus) , but from the vids I’ve seen the accuracy is not so good. Even average shooters should group better than I’ve seen so far at 10 yards with a single action .22; regardless of the short barrel. So far though...

Anyone know if this revolver is still available? That Lipsey’s version is very nice I think.

I have some small chips in the Bake-lite stock of an old (Savage Arms) Stevens 20 guage Double SxS, where it joins the receiver. Any way to repair it; or anyone have a source for a stock replacement, Bake-light or wood? Thanks!

I want to change my 4”, non-pinned barrel on my model 64-3, to a 3” barrel for easier carry. Did they make a 3” version, and if so are barrels available? I already round-butted it from the factory square butt; so originality is not a concern. With gunsmithing prices and wait times for a full...

Family member wants to get a .357sig barrel for his stainless Taurus 1911 in .40 cal. Any sources? Struck out at Brownells.

Cheapest for a Durakote aerosol spray can Kit I found was around $64 for a single can of gloss black; with the degreaser included. Anyone know of a better price somewhere? Anyone sell just the spray can without the degreaser (I would use acetone) ? Thanks

Is it the basic ffl exchanging licenses and then shipping to the NY addy; then up to the buyer to do whatever’s needed to get the firearm from his ffl in NY state? I have an offer on an Auction handgun. Never a prob with other lower 48 states incl Mass.; though Cali is a nightmare on shippers...
