    does anybody have a 9mm conversion barrel for a .40 or .357 cal Sig?

    I am considering a Sig in .40 or 357Sig, and I have a quick question about the conversion to 9mm. I know it is fairly simple, just a conversion barrel, maybe some springs and maybe mags, but I have heard that the sights can be a problem after the conversion, in that POA/POI might not be the same...

    Basic reloading setup

    Hey guys, I'm new to this idea, but I really want to get into reloading for the savings factor. I've heard it might not be as substantial as it's made out to be, but nevertheless, anything is better than nothing at all. The problem is, I have no idea where to begin as far as a basic reloading...

    Ok, so now that I've decided to keep my 1911...

    Would it be a sin to add Novak's aftermarket picatinny rail to the dustcover?

    Keep my 1911 or get an HK45?

    So I have a S&W 1911 that I like alot, but in order to make it really work for me, I'm going to have to do some add-ons/part replacements etc. Nothing big, I mean the gun is pretty reliable, so I don't really think I'm going to do too much to it, but I want to change the safety, MSH, get the...

    Learning about firearms at an early age (continuing from "successful repulsion...")

    http://thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=412226&page=2 SM's post on this page spurred an important discussion of its own, and rather than watering down that thread with more comments about it, I thought I would give it its own thread because I think it's very interesting and important (at...

    scope question

    So, in my quest for a new mid-long range bolt action rifle, I have come across another stumbling point, my future optics. I understand that the scope might be the worst possible place to skimp as far as money is concerned, but the price on most Leupold scopes out there is just ridiculous. I've...

    Hk 417?

    M&P 45c...why not?

    Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but it seems that S&W does not offer a compact model of the M&P 45. Is there any reason for this? I would love to have one of these, but it seems as though it is not in their lineup the way the "C" models are for 9mm and 40...anyone know if it might be coming?

    problem with my smith & wesson 1911?

    i just bought a s&w performance center 1911, and it a great gun, and has been 100% reliable etc. my only problem with this gun is some sort of combination of the grip safety and the thumb safety...i'm right handed, and if i grip the gun with my right thumb riding on top of the thumb safety, i...
