    First AR build...buncha questions

    Sorry for the length of this post and all the questions. Please answer any or all if you are so inclined. I have in my possession an RRA lower and LPK with an RRA two stage trigger. The mag release is installed but I'm waiting for a set of punches and brass hammer to arrive from CDNN...

    Firing pin replacement on a Browning Buckmark

    With no less than 40 bricks through it my Buckmark just won't clear a mag without at least one failure to fire. The same round will usually fire if I cycle it back through. This pistol has always been picky about ammo but once I learned that it liked Winchester Super X High Velocity it could...

    CZ PCR with a P-01 trigger

    I went to the a gunshow in Houston last Saturday with a CZ P-01 in mind. Found a dealer with several CZs including a P-01 and a PCR. The PCR looked nicer and was a bit lighter. It also had a much smoother SA trigger and was nearly $60 less so I brought it home. It seems to be the same gun...

    Need a source for Beretta Tomcat mag springs

    After two years and maybe 700 rounds without a failure of any kind my Tomcat failed to load the last round a couple of times yesterday. I've carried both mags fully loaded since I bought it so my first inclination is to replace the mag springs. Wolff does not show them as something they sell...

    Sharpening a new Benchmade with a Spyderco Sharpmaker

    I gave myself a Benchmade 943SBK Osborne last Christmas, my first really nice knife and I'm very happy with it. Naturally it was very sharp out of the box. A bit of research told me that the Spyderco Sharpmaker is a topnotch sharpening tool so I decided to buy one but was in no hurry. Did not...

    M1 Garand and M1 nomenclature

    I'm watching a good History Channel show about American military small arms and they are pronouncing Garand with the emphasis on the first syllable. I've always heared it said the other way. Which is correct? Then we get to the business of things that start with M1. I've heard this applied...

    Pasadena High Caliber Gun Show next weekend

    To my knowledge this is the first gun show around Houston since the end of the AWB. The Pasadena show is not as big as the ones at Brown or Reliant and it's a longer drive for me from the west side of Houston but it's become the one I attend most often because it's more low key and the parking...

    Wet-wipes for guns

    I was at Academy yesterday to look at a safe that was on sale but out of stock and came across something I've never seen before. It's called "Outers Tri-Lube Gun Wipes". They are packaged in an oval shaped plastic container and come out like wet-wipes after you open the internal sealed bag...

    Sparky and dirty Tomcat

    I bought a .32 cal Beretta Tomcat a few weeks ago and like it a lot so far. It has functioned flawlessly through the first couple of boxes of ammo. I've noticed when shooting at dusk or even in a not very bright indoor range that the barrel flash is very different from my Kel-Tec P-ll and...

    My new Tomcat mousegun

    I went to a gunshow last weekend intending to buy a pocket pistol. I had every intention to buy a Kel-Tec P-32 which was going for $209. I own a KT P-11 and it's been reliable but a bit large for a pocket gun and tough to shoot accurately with the long trigger pull. Not far from the P-32 was...

    When to retire a snapcap

    The documentation for my Kel-Tec P-11 says not to dryfire it so I use snapcaps. A snapcap is dented the first time it's used and the dent gets larger and deeper the more it's used. What is the criteria for deciding when to toss it and start on the next one?

    357 magnum bullet captured by a golf ball

    This post is a result of some others I've seen here that brought this event to mind but the event did not seem to fit those threads. Several years ago my wife and I and another couple were spending a weekend at a farmhouse about 90 miles west of here where we had a picnic table and a berm and...

    Carrying just a loaded mag

    When there are situations where I have to leave my carry weapon in the car I always remove the magazine and slip it in my pocket. As unpleasant and serious as it would be to have the gun stolen at least by doing this I know I will not have provided a thief with a functional loaded weapon. What...
