    Walther P1 return process

    The FFL you purchased from logged it out when it shipped. They will log it back in when they receive it. Your records should compliment each other, shouldn't they?

    Some small arms engineering questions

    Your question is probably best posed on the Gunsmithing and Repairs forum. Weight and size would be my initial concerns with your proposal.

    Pictures: CZ-75 In Digital Camo

    Yeah. It's impressive when done right. I wish CZ offered it in stainless... I'd put one on my bright 75B. That's exactly what I was going for. Different and cheap. I didn't want to dump a wad of cash into the pistol, but couldn't stand looking at all of the dings and scrapes... I do...

    Pictures: CZ-75 In Digital Camo

    I got this 75B as part of a trade about a year ago. It had an amazing trigger job (note the competition hammer) but looked like it had been "put away wet" most of it's life. A local gunsmith offers water-transfer printing .. I picked out a desert tan digital. I think it came out fantastic...

    Taurus 709 vs Kahr PM9

    I have both. Actually, one 709 Slim and two PM9's (his & hers). The PM9 is a far better pistol in every regard. The magazines on the 709 feel like junk. The PM9 is quite a bit smaller and is far better built. I think the PM9 is more accurate and easier to shoot, as well. I wouldn't...

    Hi Power Gunshow Find!

    Over the weekend, I stumbled across this as-new-in-box Silver Chrome Hi Power from 1995. $600 out the door. Appears to be unfired. It was a consignment pistol from one of the local shops. It also came with a Browning-branded holster. I'm hoping to get some range time with this...

    Are these rounds safe to fire?

    I had a similar issue with Olin (Winchester) 9mm JHP's. They sent me a UPS tag and eventually replaced the ammo. I came out slightly ahead on the deal insofar as I got more in the replacement than I purchased.. but it wasn't worth the time or trouble. Every time I called in, I got the "three...

    Bloomberg microstamping update

    Let's not forget these raw truths. Shall we also add... 3. It's safe to say one company owns the patent to this absurd "technology", which, without legislation requiring it's use, would never ever see the light of day. If that is indeed the case, they have a strong financial incentive to...

    Is there a "better" concealable 9mm than the PM9?

    My wife picked up a NIB Kahr PM9 from a dealer at a gun show for $585 OTD a few months ago. I was first to get to the range with it and dumped 200 rounds without any issues. The pistol was surprisingly accurate and easy to shoot. I bought myself one a few weeks later... granted, it was a bit...

    Colt Defender Owners

    Hi Jim. Welcome to THR. I don't have a Defender, but have read good things and have come close to ownership several times. Grips on guns (especially 1911's) are a matter of utility and taste. I'm a wood guy, so I'd pop the factory grips off and put something "classy" on. I'm sure others...

    9mm Stoeger Cougar or CZ 75B compact/P01

    I was lucky enough to stumble on an almost NIB Beretta Cougar in 9mm at a gun show. It's Italian Inox and the fit and finish is lightyears ahead of the Stoger versions I've seen... as well as every CZ I own. That being said, I prefer my CZ's. The Cougar was too good a deal to pass up, and...

    CBOB Extractor

    Can you post closeups of the extractor and breechface and a closeup of the hook on the extractor?

    Plead guilty or fight the good fight?

    If I am ever charged with something I did not do, I would have little choice but to fight the good fight. Having a criminal conviction appear on a background check would roll my career back 15 years.

    Renaissance Wax

    Hi folks. I just ordered some Renaissance Wax and was wondering what type of preparation is recommended prior to applying it to metal? I looked high and low on the web and searched THR and came up empty. I'm wondering if I'll need to remove any existing CLP/oil/grease residues prior to...

    New Home Awareness

    You need an alarm system. A real one. Not some X-10 stuff. Either buy it online (recommend: DSC Power 832) and do a DIY install or have a real alarm company come in and install it. Get a REAL keypad with an LCD screen in the bedroom and one by the front door. Arm it as much as possible...

    Mexican guns smuggled in from US

    Wow. Leave it to CNN. They referred to the ATF as "AFT" four times in the article. They can't even get the TLA's right in their liberal spew. ... and they wonder why re-runs of "Charles in Charge" beat them in the ratings.

    Thoughts on the CZ-75B in stainless

    I bought a stainless 75B ... when I got it home, I noticed some bozo at the factory decided to serrate my slide rails while putting the serrations on the rear of the slide. Perhaps a CNC misfire, perhaps someone needs to put the crack pipe down. It's been at CZ-USA for a month so far. I've...

    First FTF in my LCP: Buffalo Bore "+P"

    That was a cry for help from your pistol. The poor LCP is barely able to fire standard 380 without self-destructing. Don't shoot +P in an LCP.

    Price Check on Citadel Compact

    Are those actually nicks in the slide, or just deposits of brass from the ejected cases? Regarding the ejection issues, have a peek at the stickies in the Gunsmithing forum here on THR. It should be a simple fix involving fixing the angle on the extractor with a file..
