    gunbroker

    I've never bought anything off of an internet auction site. I've purchased lots of stuff from online retailers though. Am I just acting like an old man scared of those internets thingy's? Here's the deal. I have my heart set on a RIA compact 1911. Both of the LGS's sell them for $459.0...

    What to carry?

    I just took my concealed carry class this past weekend. Now I'm trying to decide what to carry. I'm 5'11, 170is lbs. Currently I have a J-Frame. Its too thick for pocket carry for me. The 5 round capacity bothers me also. I have a speed loader but that thing is thick also, and hard to...

    AD at a family reunion

    At my family reunion we like to shoot trap. In fact, that's the reason most of us males attend the family reunion. It's the only time I ever shoot trap in fact. My father and brother were using black powder muzzle loaders. My brother was using a .62cal/12g (or 20g, can't remember) smoothbore...

    Putting the mainspring back in a flint lock

    What's the best way to compress the spring to get it back in the lock? Besides buying a special tool :) I have a .32 flint that the mainspring broke out of. I couldn't find a mainspring for it anywhere. Even checked Friendship. So, I took both pieces of the spring and welded it back...

    I can not decide.

    I DO NOT WANT A GLOCK. I HAVE MY REASONS. Threads like this always annoy me. But, I've decided I needed to put my thoughts out there for everyone to see if they hold up to review. I'm having a really hard time deciding between the M&P and the XD Tactical. I want a 9mm. The M&P, 2 mags...

    Oh My God! The Most Dangerous Handgun Ever!!

    I was just watching the WGN9 News out of Chicago. They opened up the show with a bit about a extremely dangerous handgun that was used for the first time in Chicago in a gang related shooting. I said to myself, must be the FN FiveseveN. Sure enough. I guess I was wrong though, it was an FN...

    Cleaning my 686+

    Well, I have a 696+ that I shot about 200 rounds of mixed .38s and .357s. I don't shoot it anymore so I thought I'd get rid of it. I got to looking, and there was that nasty little ring of lead in the cylinder. And a lot of buildup on the face of the cylinder. I tried all sorts of things to...

    Man with concealed-carry permit kills robbery suspect in Cleveland

    I'm not sure if there is a better place for this but here it is. I love the quote from the grieving cousin of the robber.. quite amusing. Cleveland is one of the cities in Ohio that had a draconian gun ban in place that was overrode by Ohio's new (and much appreciated) Preemption Law this...

    Springfield, Savage 87A

    My father has a 87A that was given to him by his father. It has feeding problems. I read a thread on this forum about the well known feeding problems of this gun. I told my father I would take a look at it, and see what I could do. I'm not that experienced with older firearms. I'm only 25...

    I'm aware that you should keep both eyes open due to situational awareness and all that jazz.... I'm teaching my girlfriend to shoot. She's left eye dominant. She's right handed. Do I have her shoot right handed but center the gun in front of her left eye? This is what we did yesterday...
