I am looking for a light recoil load that will shoot on the sights at 50 yards. I have Trailboss, Bullseye, and some 231. I have 170 grain Missouri Whitetail No. 1 lead bullets. 9 grains of Trailboss shoots a couple of inches low with the sights all the way up. That load is listed at 1100...

I have this old Winchester Model 12 shotgun that I use for some shooting games and it has been remarkably smooth and reliable, until today. After chambering and firing a round, the bolt stuck closed. This happened a few times and I was able to depress the bolt release button and eject with...

After 3000 rounds with no issues, I had 2 misfeeds in one day. The slide jammed back with a bullet laying loose on top of the magazine, chamber empty. I had to shake the gun around to get that loose bullet out, but then re-chambered and went on. Same ammo, clean gun, etc. Looks like a...

Can you recommend a gunsmith in the Louisville (ST. Matthews hopefully) area that can replace the magazine release button on a CZ 75 Kadet pistol? I have the replacement release button and have broken 2 screwdrivers the screw that holds it in. The screw is still perfect, just the screwdrivers...

This is the first pistol I have had with a comp. I was amazed at the lead build-up in it. It seems like this should affect accuracy, although I haven't really noticed it. Anyway, maybe I should shoot only jacketed bullets with it. All suggestions are appreciated.

I have 380 ACP Lee dies. Can I get a 9mm shell plate and load 9mm Luger?

I have an old Browning Semi Auto in 22 Short. It has the wheel rear sight. Can a scope mount be put on this without drilling any holes?

I had a Millet front and rear sight put on my Series 70 Colt some time ago. This was a mistake in that the front sight is double-staked, but I did not realize that at the time. Now the rear sight has developed a cant which is not a major problem other than looking bad but is something I would...

Does anyone have a step-by-step procedure for this before I loosen the barrel band and start unscrewing the barrel? I understand you do not want to remove the chamber ring. I should take the magazine apart and clean that too. Any instruction will be appreciated.

I hit the thumb safety sometimes when moving or picking the gun up from a table. This is series 80 combat government and the safety is kind of extended and ambi. I am right handed. I have a series 70 with a shorter safety that I don't hit as much. What is best - tie the safety down some...

Any words of wisdom or experience about healing up a rotator cuff? I shoot 45 and 22. Can I just eliminate the 45 for a time, or go cold turkey on all of it? I don't think pistol shooting caused it, but it seems to aggrevate it.

I have a first generation Colt that is probably a good 85-percent. There is slight holster wear and backstrap wear, but the blueing is really good and the case color is slightly faded but still nice. All in all, this is the best one I have seen but I haven't seen that many. The gun shoots low...

I have a new Special Combat Government 45 and it is beautifully finished and functions more reliably than any other pistol I've owned. This thing feeds, fires, and ejects everything. I would trust this pistol to operate any time with any ammunition. The only thing is accuracy. It came with a...

I have a new Colt Special Combat Government that came with a Bomar rear sight. My drivers that are wide enough are too fat and the ones that are thin enough are too narrow. This screw slot is about .312 wide and about .030 thick. I can of course buy a bunch of tips and see which one is best...

I am looking for some experience with other powders for 1911 5-inch using 155 LSWC. I am currently using 4.8 grains BE and 4.8 Trail Boss. Have tried lower charges, but 4.8-5.2 gives good accuracy with lowest recoil. Lower charges do not stabilize. Trail Boss and BE seem to be about the same...

This just started happening. Colt Model 70 Government with stock barrel, link, pin, etc. The slide has jammed to the extent that it takes a strong nudge to free it. After that, it cycles good until the next time I shoot, and then does it again. This has happened 3 times. I have noticed that...

My Colt model 70 Government has recently developed this small problem. Every 50 or so rounds, the slide will lock back after firing like the magazine is empty, but it is not empty. Releasing the slide lock will chamber the next round and everything returns to normal. The magazines are clean...

Anyone have this experience with a NEOS? Getting ready to send this NEOS back to the factory. Started failure to fire once every 50 rounds when new, now about 3000-4000 rounds later, FTF every 5 rounds or so. Trigger clicks and moves the transfer bar, but sear will not release the firing pin...

I just started shooting this 22 diamondback, and am experiencing light primer strikes on 1 or 2 out of 6 cartridges in double action, using 5 different brands of high velocity ammunition. Cartridges usually fire on the second strike. Single action is just fine. My semiauto shoots the same...
