    Hogue slip on grip, or similar, for Sig P226 E2

    I wonder if anyone could help me. I have been unable to find a grip sleeve specifically for the E2 grip of the Sig P226. Is this because the Hogue grip for the original wider grip also fits the E2? It doesn't have to be Hogue. Pachmayr or any other brand would be fine. Thank you.

    Glock 25 cent trigger job.

    I watched a youtube video of this cost effective work, and decided I'd like to give it a try. If nothing else, it will force me to detail strip my Glock. The guy in the video polished the parts with Flitz. I can't get that here. Can anyone tell me if Brasso will also work, or is it too...

    Uncle Mikes Sidekick holster vs Bianchi AccuMold.

    Thank you. Anyone know anything about the Bianchi nylon AccuMold? Is it worth twice the price of the Sidekick?

    Uncle Mikes Sidekick holster vs Bianchi AccuMold.

    I want an inexpensive range holster for my Taurus 82 4" revolver, and wonder which would be best. I know most people don't like nylon holsters, but it would only be for range use, and, in any case, I'm limited in choice because of my location. Another choice would be the Bianchi unlined...

    Black paint on CZ pistols?

    Thanks a lot. How well would it stand up to holster wear? Specifically the polymer types.

    Black paint on CZ pistols?

    Just wondered how effective this is. It stratches, I know, but how resistant is it to rust?

    Accidentally dry fired my Taurus 82.

    I was cleaning it at the time. The owners manual says not to dry fire. I assume this means dry firing practice, which I never do, and that the occasional accidental discharge is not a problem for the firing pin. Would appreciate your advice.

    .380 for wife... not CCW

    I have a couple of 380s (the only semiauto caliber allowed here) - a Makarov and a Glock 25 - and I find them snappy. Pretty manageable, but not particularly light on recoil. The only 9mm I've ever shot was a 1911 - not here - and it was certainly no snappier. Presumably because it was...

    Maverick 88 tube magazine disassembly.

    I've broken down and reassembled my gun several times, but I've never yet got inside the magazine tube to clean it along with the follower and spring, and I can't find any instructions. Does it just screw out in an anticlockwise direction? Is it a simple operation, or are the threads likely...

    My first time shooting a snubbie - a Ruger LCR.

    Thanks for the replies. It had already occured to me that my technique could be the cause. Surprisingly though, my accuracy was much better than I had anticipated.

    Any opinions on Taurus and Rossi Revolvers ?

    Over here, the Taurus is a well regarded weapon. That's because Smiths and Rugers are hard to come by and horribly expensive, and the only other alternative to a Taurus is one of the cheap revolvers of Argentinian manufacture. Having said that, I bought a Taurus 82 a year ago, and so far...

    My first time shooting a snubbie - a Ruger LCR.

    Rented one at the range today. It was the standard 38 with the soft Hogue grips. Overall, I loved the gun. I shot it at about 8-10 yards, and managed to get most of my shots inside a head size target, using Remington 130 grain, jacketed, ball bullets. The trigger was as good as I'd heard, and...

    Pellet Pistols - How Much Too Much?

    I used a few of the German CO2 guns when I lived in England. The S&W was much better to shoot than any of the semiautos. It's generally well thought of in the UK. Better trigger and better accuracy, especially if you go for the six inch barrel option. None of them are suitable for...

    Pin punch, roll pin punch or drift punch?

    Not having an engineering background, I've never properly understood the purpose of the different types of punches available and their uses. What should I be using to remove the trigger housing pins and steel buffer pin on my Ruger 10/22? What about the trigger housing pins on my CZ 452...

    Makarov firing pin.

    Many thanks.:)

    Makarov firing pin.

    When I break down my Mak I lightly brush the firing pin and channel with oil and then wipe it off - for the sake of rust prevention. Am I doing the right thing, or should I leave them both bone dry?
