Can someone tell me about the new ventilated handguards. Do they get too hot to hold if you don't wear gloves? What...

    SIG SAUER MK25 9MM with a ROMEO1 Sight

    If this isn't the right place to ask this question I apologize. I recently bought a SIG SAUER MK25 9MM with a ROMEO1 sight. During rapid fire the red dot goes out. It will come back on if I wait a while and turn it back on. Any idea why this is happening and what to do about it?

    Question about Saiga 5.45 gas tube.

    I have a UTG quad rail that I recently tried to put on a converted 5.45 Saiga. It appears the diameter of the gas tube is too wide for the rail to slide over it. Is the Saiga tube wider than the standard AK 74 tube? If so, can I replace the Saiga tube with an AK 74 gas tube? If that will work...

    8MM vs 30 caliber

    Until the end of WWII Germany used an 8MM round while the U.S., the U.K., and Russia (USSR) used a 30 caliber round. From what I understand the rounds weighed about the same, so was there any difference in the performance of the 8MM and the 30 caliber rounds? While there are numerous 30...

    When did the thinking on flashlights change?

    In my youth I read that the G Men were trained to hold their handgun in one hand and hold their flashlight in the other as far away from their body as possible. The reasoning was that in the dark an attacker would shoot at the light and miss the agent's body. Somewhere that changed. Can anyone...

    Crimson Trace laser on G32?

    I recently put a Crimson Trace laser on my gen 2 G32. My fingers are too long to depress the button that activates the laser. Are there any back straps that will fit a gen 2 Glock? Would that give me enough room to depress the button? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

    Questions about LC9

    I just upgraded my pocket pistol from a P64 to an LC9. I'm left handed and the safety is very stiff. Is it safe to carry the LC9 with a round chambered and the safety off? What ammo would you recommend from the shorter barrel? Thanks

    What am I legally obliged to do when selling a firearm?

    I live in Texas and have collected AK's for several years. My interests changed a few years ago and I need to make room in the safe so it seems that now would be the time to sell some AK's. If I go to a gun show and sell some AK's, what are my legal obligations? Can I sell one FTF simply by...

    Saiga conversion in San Antonio

    I assume the only way to improve the trigger in a stock Saiga 5.45 is to replace the trigger with a Tapco trigger and put a pistol grip on it. Does anyone know someone in San Antonio who does this kind of work? If so, what's a ballpark figure for the cost? Thanks
