Are they as strong and rugged as they say they are? I'm currently a S&W wheel gun fanatic but have recently got the itch for a SA revolver. The Colt's are too pricey for what they offer which leads me to the SBH. Thoughts? I haven't ruled out the standard Blackhawk in .357, either. Just...

Okay, Considering a new revolver to hunt white tail deer. Which would be the more reasonable round for white tail deer? I am leaning towards the .460 since one can shoot .454, .45 LC, and of course, .460. Seeking some expert advice, here. I haven't totally ruled out the .44 Mag, but...

I've noticed this on all of my alloy framed Sigs, that the inside of the dust cover is being rubbed by the slide when the slide is at slide lock. As a result of the rubbing, the anodizing is being chipped. Is this common with Sigs, or just mine? See pic, center of picture on the inside of the...

So, what's the take on the Walther PPS' showing up that is a bluish/gray color and is not the First Edition models? I know they've been out since June. I have an opportunity on one, but not too sure over the color. I haven't seen it in real life and the FFL who has two of them is an hour...

I have a new Walther PPS in .40 S&W and the brass likes to leave little marks on the ejection port. What is the best method in removing brass dings from the slide? I've tried Hoppe's Elite and it didn't do very well. Thanks in advance.

Well, took my new PPS .40 out for it's first outing and needless to say, I'm a bit upset. I cleaned the pistol yesterday, and took it out today. Shot 50-rounds of 165gr Speer Law Man (department issue practice rounds) and experienced 6 failures to feed during the first 50-rounds. Then I ran our...

Just bought a new toy, a Walther PPS chambered in .40 S&W. During my initial cleaning, I noticed some orange colored discoloration in the joints adjacent to the locking block and areas just forward of the locking block. I swear that this looks like rust, but doesn't quite look like rust. Any...

Just curious, I have one coming in tomorrow and would like to here some experiences, both good and bad.

Okay, I'm trying to break down my new Super Nova Tactical to clean it prior to shooting it for the first time; however, I cannot find where you must loosen the pistol grip prior to removing the trigger assembly. Can somebody shed some light on this step? The user manual only posts a warning that...

Is BreakFree CLP okay for use on an MP 340 Centennial? I cannot see where ammonia is listed in the ingredients of CLP. Thanks in advance.

I have an opportunity to pick one up NIB for a decent price of $549 - is it worth the gamble? I've read the horror stories and have asked similar questions on other forums. So, are the stories true or are they related primarily to the P (polymer) series of Kahr firearms? Looking for...

Dissasembled and cleaned the new M&P 45 and for some reason, the slide will not go back on the frame. The sear disconnect is down and the slide gets to a certain point and will not go on all the way. This is my third M&P and have never experienced this issue, what can be wrong? The recoil spring...

Okay, I'm a self-confessed gun addict and must ask, who owns the S&W 500 and for what purpose? I am seriously considering the 500 in a 4" variant just because it appeals to me. I'm not a hunter and understand that the cost of factory ammo will be outrageous to say the least, but I just love...

I can't decide between the purchase of a S&W 686 2.5 in. or an M&P 360 J-frame. The problem is, I already have a model 637-2 and the 642-2. So what should I do? I have all the autos that I want and feel the need for a nice .357 for range and home defense; however, I might also want to CCW...

Okay, didn't know this, but I recently learned that one shouldn't clean a S&W Airweight with anything that containa ammonia. Well, as I just recently found out, Hoppe's 9 Powder Solvent contains ammonia and I've cleaned my new pistol twice with it. How can one tell if I've damaged the...
