    Shot Show - what would you like to see?

    Not going this year but I'm curious what each of you would like to see if you were attending. Perhaps by listing each manufacturer and product, some in attendance would be kind in supplying info (+ pics!). So here's my top 10 list: 1. Sigarms 55x rifle for the U.S. - what does it look...

    Tip-up barrels in Autos

    I'm curious how rounds are extracted during firing in tip-up barrel semiautos like the Beretta 86 cheetah or the Tomcat that don't exhibit an extractor? Exactly what is the ejection process?

    Beretta Magazine floor plate

    I recently inherited a Beretta 86 (.380 with tip-up barrel design) that I like to shoot except for one caveat: the grip + magazine base lip aren't sufficiently long enough for my hand. As a result, my pinkie finger keeps sliding underneath the grip during shooting. Is there a gunsmith that...

    Fluted Bull Barrel

    Any recommendations as to where or whose fluted bull barrels to try? I'm looking for one for my Ed Brown Kobra Carry (Commander Style 1911). A shop that could supply the barrel and fit the barrel to the pistol is preferred. - Dacos

    Ithaca Guide Series

    Anyone handled or own one of these in 12 gauge? I'm curious what your opinion is and how it shoots/handles. I was thinking of purchasing one and having the barrel shortened 1.5" (from the original 20" barrel) and replacing the rifle sights with a bead sight only.

    Sig p210 sights

    I want to have a smith install three-dot sights on my Sig P210-6. I'm aware of Novak's being able to do so with their sight system, but I was wondering what other sights I might be able to use besides this style. Is their a 3 dot sight that has the profile of Trijicon's or say PT Night sights...

    O/U Barrel work

    I was wondering if anyone knows of a good gunsmith (in the Maryland/DC area preferably, but anywhere in the States is OK) that can shorten my Browning O/U barrels from 26 to 22"? Thx - Dacos

    Phantom shotguns

    Anybody know of or handled one of these semiautomatics? Apparently they're made in Turkey and look pretty high in quality.

    Online purchase - please help

    I recently came across a pistol on Gunsamerica that I'm interested in. However, I want to make sure the buyer, who's in CA based on his area code, is legit; I reside in WV. It appears to be a private individual who desires postal money order or a certified check. I won't send anything until I...

    HK P7M8 revisited

    As some of you read my previous post, my main concern regarding the P7M8 was the lack of training I could perform in a given shooting period b/c of the heat generated as a result of shooting >50 rounds per session. Being an engineer, I hated the concept of a pistol that was designed thus...

    HK P7m8 shooting impression

    Today I finally rented one at the local range and it dropped off my "To Buy" list. Here's what I thought: 1. Very ergonomic piece. The manual of arms isn't that different from other autos where I would feel uncomfortable handling the firearm. Also, my hand was just the right size that the...
