    Glock 26 Malfunction

    Hi, I purchased a new Glock 26 earlier this week and finally I had the opportunity to shoot it. I was using Winchester White Box from Wal-Mart at the time. Before I shot it, I did run hoppes #9 through the bore. Here is my scenario: 1) Put 75 rounds downrange quite well 2) Decided to...

    CZ P-01 Magazine Butt Plate

    I have a CZ-P01 and love the pistol. That said, I have seen pictures of the same pistol on this site (and others) with a 'flat' magazine butt plate. The butt plate on mine is somewhat fat and rubbery. My thought is that a flat butt plate would enhance carry comfort and possibly help with...

    Question about a new Safe

    Hello, Although I currently have a locking gun cabinet, I do recognize the need for a true safe. That said, I have my eye on this one: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2511914&cp=702353&view=all&sr=1&origkw=safe&kw=safe&parentPage=search&searchId=28102299933...

    Does anyone carry their CCW at 2 O'clock?

    I generally carry the CZ-P01 between 4 and 5 o'clock (ie -behind the right hip) outside the waistband. For this to work properly, I usually wear a light jacket or long shirt (no problem). However, on a whim, I tried to carry at 2 o'clock and it was MUCH more comfortable while riding in a car...

    Black Powder Storage Laws? - North Carolina

    I know this topic has been posted prior as I have spent about 60 mins reading through past posts using the search function. That being said, I have yet to see anything truly definitive regarding 1) how much black power can be stored by an individual in their home and 2) regulations specific...

    30-30 for Plinking?

    I have recently been enamored by the Marlin 336 in 30-30. I have quite a few sporting arms and my main interest is to spend a weekend day plinking (ie - let's call it 'relaxation time'). That being said, I have been looking online at ammunition distributors and have yet to find a 30-30 round...

    CCW while having to bend down quite a bit

    For those of you who must bend down quite a bit on the job, or just for those of you with a toddler that requires constant 'redirection' in the mall - - how do you keep from having the handle/grip of your CCW poke through your shirt when bending straight down? I have had more luck here with a...

    SP101 - Hammer or Hammerless (Dumb Question - sorry)

    I am in the market to purchase a SP101. That being said, I am having trouble deciding between the hammerless and the 'standard'. My question is: Is the hammerless model really hammerless - - or is it just shaved off and still a small, visible hammer-like part is raised/lowered upon trigger...

    Pocket Holster for Cargo Pants/Shorts

    I was thinking about getting a pocket holster for my M85 Taurus Snubbie. The intended outfit is a pair of cargo shorts. For those of you unfamiliar, the pockets on cargo shorts have much more space and are wider than pockets on a pair of jeans or slacks. Does a pocket holster even make...

    Taurus - Model 85 - Stuck Cylinder Latch

    I have had a model 85 stainless for several years. However, this past weekend, after only firing five shots at the range, I tried to use the cylinder latch but it would not budge. It is completely stuck! It is in the normal position, but can not move forward no matter how hard I push. I have...

    Hello, I have a blackpowder rifle that I truly enjoy shooting. I have lately been having the itch to purchase a flintlock pistol - - the only problem being I have loads of FF GOEX. Can I use FF in a flintlock pistol? Or do I really have to purchase FFF? Also, if I can use FF, will will...

    +5% or +10% Magazine Springs

    I have seeen that wolff springs (http://www.gunsprings.com) carries +5% and +10% magazine springs for many popular semiautos. If a +10% spring exists, why would anyone buy the +5%? I am under the impression that a heavier spring is always better in this case. Am I missing something...

    Can I file off my hammer?

    I own a Taurus 85 (2inch stainless revolver). I am starting to realize that the hammer is getting caught on clothing/pockets, etc. Can I take a file and just shave it off? Will it change the weight of the hammer to the point it will not impact the round correctly? Thank you, Synapse

    Drawing From A Kydex Holster

    At the risk of embarassing myself - - I sometimes find it difficult to draw from Kydex Holsters. I have tried a Fobus Belt Holster with a Ruger P90 and a Houston Paddle Holster with a FireStorm Mini 40. I have to admit that more than half the time when I try draw, the holster lifts up with...

    P3-AT Ejector Question

    I was recently cleaning my P3-AT and the ejector fell out. I am by no means a gunsmith, but was surprised to find that it is a 'drop-in' part. I was able to place the ejector back in, but if I hold the pistol upside down with the slide off, the ejector will fall back out. Is something...

    Kel Tec P3AT Belt Clip Assembly

    I just purchased a Kel-TEC P3-AT and decided to get the belt clip accessory. The instructions state that I must remove the rear frame pin with a hammer and punch. I have been trying to do this for about 30 mins and that darn pin will not come out :). Is there some secret to this? Thanks...

    Saf-T-Block

    I am attracted to Glock pistols (the model 19, in particular), but am not fully comfortable with the lack of safety. However, I am aware of a product called the Saf-T-Block http://www.clipdraw.com/saftblok.html that may help with this concern. Does anyone have experience with this...

    Scope on M48 Bosnian Mauser

    I am looking to put a scope on my M48 Bosnian Mauser. I really don't want to replace the bolt handle if possible. Are there any solutions on the market that you folks have seen actually work as designed? Thank you for your time, Regards, Synapse
