    Walther Pistols...

    Beretta M92. The Italians did a great job of bringing the P.38 into the 21st century. Do a detail strip of the M9. It is a P.38 with a Hi-Power magazine.

    Marlin 336 conversion as well as a question about needle files

    I have had great success with the diamond files from Harbor Freight. Then finish the cut with a fine Swiss file.

    I need new sights

    Back in olden times, from 1911A1 on, expert pistol marksmen did very well with plain black patridge sights. Target shooters using the 1911A1 used the "punkin' on a post sight picture" very effectively in competitive target shooting. Three white dots are for combat-action shooting where...

    Surplus Beretta 92 "S"

    The sights on a 92S are what they are: Tiny. I have seen .25ACP pocket pistols with better sights. The rear sight can be easily replaced with a new 92FS sight but the dovetail needs to be elongated. Brownells sells a dovetail file for the 1911A1 rear sight that is 65 degrees. I had one and...

    My Ruger SR45-I Gave Up and Sold It

    What did you get for it? Some 1811 nut got a bargain to fine tune, polish and tweak.

    Star BM 9mm slide/frame "play"

    How does it shoot? If you can live with that level of accuracy, you have a sweet gun if it is 100% reliable.

    Non-1911 .45 Suggestions Please

    I like a real safety that locks the hammer. That is a primary concern on a pistol. Make it safe! I vote for the HK pistols. I have never fired a more accurate or more reliable automatic pistol.

    Beretta 92FS Anomalies

    Is this a used pistol? Are you the first owner? If it is still under warranty, I would let Beretta make it right. If it is not under warranty: Has it been dropped or abused? Have you miked the barrel at the rub scar? Is the barrel bulged? Is it out of round? Is the muzzle true to the...

    CZ 52 ...follow up question.

    You can re-size .32 ACP bullets to .308 if you want to shoot hollow points. They will shatter a 1 gallon milk jug full of water. Also, you can pull the FMJ bullets from milsurp ammo and load the cases with the resized bullets.

    Ruger LW 1911

    Forward slide serrations are a fad that is passing.

    The Best 9mm pistol....

    Best documentation and parts availability would be the Beretta M9 US Service pistol.

    Vietnam-Era Shotguns

    Remington Wingmaster 870 18" with no sling was standard issue on our ship. The Marines had the same shotgun, but with a sling. Sailors never stood watch with a shotgun, but they were issued when we has nuclear security drills. The other option was a Thompson. I like a shotgun personally...

    1911 recoil spring

    Keep it stock and use the ammunition it was designed for.

    How long can you keep a 1911 magazine loaded?

    The valve springs in my '66 VW are still as good as new. They have never been replaced in three engine re-builds. And they are compressed and relaxed at high speed, and frequently. Buy quality magazines and you will never have a problem. Neither will your great grandchildren.

    Advice on 1911 Rear Sight

    Keep in mind that the upgraded front sight will cut a groove in your holster if it does not have a sight channel molded into the holster. Another option would be to install Crimson Trace laser grips. Simple to do, no modifications to the pistol, and all you need is a screwdriver for the grip...

    Considering Concealed carrying 1911

    Personally, I admire the reserve and patience of all who commented on this.

    Best current production 9mm

    Glock 19. I am sure you can find a more expensive 9mm, but the Glock is the best of the lot. Here is why: They are inexpensive. Any gunsmith in America can work on your Glock. Your Glock will never need a gunsmith. Parts are available. Custom sights are available. This pistol is so...

    Double stack 1911's

    Thick. Ugly. Bulky. Non-1911 interchangeable parts. Expensive, hard to find magazines. And if you need more than eight rounds in a social situation, you went into the wrong bar.

    In a minority- I like DAO pistols

    I like a positive thumb safety. And an accurate first shot and every subsequent shot. Ever wonder why DA only pistols are never seen at an accuracy match?
