I came across some night vision equipment from a company called Sightmark. I've never heard of them, but I haven't been looking at night vision stuff that long. Does anyone have experience with their NV products? Thanks for any replies.

I replaced my well-worn Miami Classic with a new Miami Classic II. I wasn't expecting the change in the thumb break. The strap is about 1/8" too short, even when I jam the 1911 in as far as it can possibly go. I even took out the rubber bushing for the tension screw to maybe give it more travel...

I need to replace the harness on my Miami Classic. Rather than go with the standard thin straps, I'd like to go with the wider straps of the Jackass harness. However, I only see them now in suede. I don't see any in a finished brown leather. Doesn't Galco made harnesses in finished leather...

I've been trying to call Archdale Arms & Ammo in Archdale, NC, but I keep getting a message that the phone numbers I'm using are not in service. Does anyone know if the store is still in business? Thanks for any replies.

I recall that a couple of years ago somebody put together a map showing mass shootings from the last 10 or 20 years, and which ones were in Victim Disarmament Zones. I've been trying to find that map on Google and Bing, but no luck. Does anyone remember this, and know where I can find it...

I have a Kimber 1911 that I bought brand new ten years ago. By that time I already had two Kimbers I'd bought in 1998 and 1999. Both of those have bores that are shiny. The 2002 Kimber has always had a bore that wasn't shiny, but wasn't pitted, either. It just was never polished like the...

The Kimber Tactical models have laminate grip panels that have pretty subtle light and dark lines going through them. I'm trying to find the laminate, or something really close. Kimber's customer service can't seem to find out where they get their grips from. Have you seen this laminate, or...

I may be helping a friend conduct a raffle. I'm trying to research which guns would be the most desirable. If you were at a raffle, which gun would you buy a lot of tickets for? It can be a handgun, rifle or shotgun. Figure on a gun that cost under $1500, just to keep it realistic...

I have a Benelli M1S90 I bought several years back that I've managed to keep in exceptional condition while still shooting it fairly regularly. I'm pretty fanatical about my stuff. Anyway, I must have rubbed another gun against the left side of the receiver when putting it away in the safe...

There was a thread, I think on THR, months back by someone who had gone through a defensive shooting. He described the aftermath, with having to leave his house, and all of the other miseries. It was a horrible story. I've been trying to find it, as a friend of mine doesn't believe we need...

I spent a few hours over the weekend plinking with my M4gery, and realized I'd spent about $100 on PMC Gazelle ammo. I guess it's time to start reloading for that rifle so I can use the dollars saved for more ammo. I don't need to go nuts with the reloads as I do with my more precise rifles...

I'm curious as to what members here think about the gun and accessory buying habits of the various subsets of the shooting community. Do you think that trap shooters buy more guns and accessories than, say, competitive pistol shooters? I'm not talking ammo, but guns themselves and accessories...

I have no association with Gunblast.com, but I have an honest reason for trying to figure out how many people are familiar with the site. Have you heard of it? Have you visited before? Do you visit regularly? Any replies much appreciated.

I'm trying to figure out which gun-related websites have the most traffic. I'm not talking about Able Ammo or Buds or Cheapter Than Dirt or other online stores, but gun forums or blogs or other types of sites. I figure AR15.com to be have the most traffic, but I wouldn't be surprised to find...

Yesterday, Sheboygan, WI district attorney Joe DeCecco issued a call to amend the recently passed shall-issue carry bill. His concern? The same old bogeyman argument that police officers will be in danger when making traffic stops because they won't know who has a gun and who doesn't. That's...

I'm seeing a lot of manufacturers pressuring online retailers with Minimum Advertised Price policies ("MAP", for short). The manufacturer sets a certain price as "MAP", and retailers can't advertise a price that's lower than MAP. The retailer can charge less than MAP, but can't put the price...

I'd like to add an ACOG to my M4-gery, but it may just not happen. Price is a big factor. If you were looking for a low-magnification battle scope, is there anything remotely resembling an ACOG you'd consider? I don't mean an EOTech, since they're not the same thing. Thanks for any replies.

I have a lot of pages on my website with models of guns from different manufacturers, but right now I don't have any comments from owners, which I think other shooters might appreciate reading. If you have a couple of minutes to add your comments about a Springfield rifle you own or have...

My wife was channel-surfing tonight, and we caught part of a Discovery Channel series, "Sons of Guns". In the episode, the gunsmiths were taking an old semi-auto Thompson and converting it to full-auto. From what I could tell, it was the town's sheriff who brought the gun in, although I...

No longer living in WI, I don't have a full dog in the CCW fight there, but I'd sure like to see it pass after years of effort. I'd like to see a clean bill get passed, too. With the Democrats in hiding, the Republicans can't do anything on the budget bill because anything related to the...
