    Remington 1100 thoughts... G3? or not?

    I am looking at Remington 1100s. I have an old (~1976) Remington 1100 20 gauge that I have been shooting since I was 12. So after about 25 years of shooting this gun, I am pretty used to it. It has a 26" IC barrel. I am now thinking of getting something new. I love the handling of the...

    How do 3" 20 gauge shells compare to 2 3/4" 12 gauge shells?

    I am looking to buy a new shotgun, and am thinking about the Remington 1100 G3. This can handle both 2 3/4" shells and 3" shells. I am leaning towards a 20 gauge, as most of my shotgun needs will be handled well with this, such as quail/dove/skeet. However, I would also like to be able to...

    1911 Slide stop problem

    I have a Kimber 10mm Eclipse. The factory slide stop was unusable, and caused the slide to lock back after every couple of shots. I replaced this with a Wilson 38 super slide stop. This works better, though I am still having the slide lock back on me about one out of every 15 to 20 rounds...

    Are knives with blades longer than 4" useless?

    Coolness factor aside, are blades longer than about 4" very useful for camping, hiking, and wood craft? I just got back from about a week camping and hiking in Yellowstone back country, and my big knife never left my sheath. For small jobs, my pocket knife or small fixed blade (blade about 3")...

    Colt XSE rear sight fell off while shooting

    I was out shooting my new Colt XSE lightweight commander for the first time. After the 2nd magazine, the rear sight fell off. It is the Novak type site that is dovetailed and then held in place by a screw. The screw does not thread into the slide, it looks like it must just hold the rear...

    I have just mounted an Aimpoint Comp ML3 onto a Flat top AR. I have mounted it in an Aimpoint 30 mm ring. The scope seems to low for me. I have to hold my head down in a funny lower than normal position, and the front site takes up a lot of my field of view. I have an Eotech mounted directly...
