    Ruger P-95 Observations

    My P-95 experience is good and average (not bad). The good was the reliability (100%) and the way it was able to shoot fast and accurate while shooting fast. It was one of the most accurate fast shooting guns I have ever owned. When I shot it slow fire, it was poor. In slow fire the...

    Intratec Tec-9 questions

    " hope i get some help before I use it for a door stopper, or maybe i should just throw it at a would be bad guy if needed. I would like it to act as mean as it looks..." Any gun can be fixed but IMHO the Intratec guns are not worth the time or money. They have such cheap parts that once you...

    Recommend a good 22 handgun

    For the money the Ruger MKII and 22/45 are really hard to beat. They are tack drivers even though you said that was not needed. They have good reps for reliability. They are priced from $199 up to about $400-500 for some models but most are between $200-300 depending on finish, sights, model...

    Why is Cocked and Locked Out of Vogue?

    "How many times have you had a centerfire cartridge fail to fire? In about 40 years of shooting, I can count them on one hand...and have about three fingers left over. I do not consider "second-strike capability" high on my list." That is sort of my point. It has happened to me more than...

    If all semi-auto pistol calibers cost the same, what would you carry and own?

    If every caliber was say $6.00 per box of 50, what would you pick? Would it be the same as what you carry now or would it be something else? I really like 9mms but part of the reason I like them is the cost. I can really practice with them and get good with any gun chambered in 9mm. I own...

    Did I Screw Up? (Bought a Luger)

    If the condition is good and the numbers match, that is a steal! If not, it is still probably a good price. I don't see Luger for less than $600 anywhere so I think you are safe.

    Why is Cocked and Locked Out of Vogue?

    "Once again I ask: Quote: Name one reputable school that teaches the immediate action drill for "click" on a semi-automatic is pull the trigger again. Why is this ability even pointed to as an advantage?" Because if you are a revolver shooter or used to DA autos, it is instinct...

    Why is Cocked and Locked Out of Vogue?

    "Because in general, as a society we've moved away from thinking and logic, and toward feelings" This may be true but the sword cuts both ways. There are probably more people who carry and own 1911s because of certain feelings than because they thought it out. Most people who carry 1911s...

    French Unique Pistol

    Only 4-5 misfires out of 50? That is better than the Kel-Tec P-32 I owned. If you want a .25acp, the Beretta Jetfire is very well respected and is probably the best around. If you are looking for really small autos, you have a very short list of quality and reliable guns to choose from...

    French Unique Pistol

    You should at least be able to tell what caliber it is if you can see it again. Without more info, we can't tell you much. I can tell you that it is a high quality pistol and not a POS. Unique made some nice stuff and they still do. Now they mostlymake high dollar target pistols that cost...

    Any "Ruby" pistol mags out there?

    I am looking for a mag for my "Ruby" type Spainish pistol in 7.65mm (.32acp). I don't know the round count but I am sure it is between 6-9. I would like any tips on where to look for such a mag. My gun seems to be a Gaspar Arizaga if that helps anyone.

    Whats your dream carry gun?

    I would like a Kahr K-9 but in Titanium instead of steel. Plastic is a joke and the plastic Kahrs are not yet perfected despite what you may hear from some people. I would even settle for a aluminum framed K-9 if price was an issue. A K-9 or a MK-9 in Titanium would be about as close to...

    How hard is it to swap barrels on a GP-100?

    I have one of the half lug SS GP-100s that is DAO. I would like to find a 3" barrel to replace my 4" barrel. How hard is it to do? It is a gunsmith job or something I can do myself? Where would one find a 3" barrel for a half lug SS GP-100? Also, can parts be found that would convert...

    Can you let the hammer down on a 1911 with one hand?

    "The hammer has serrations or checkering for a reason. Lowering it on a hot chamber...on any gun...is an inherently dangerous practice, but it can be done safely if one only learns how and remembers to keep the gun pointed in such a direction so as not to cause blood to be spilled. There are...

    I found an interesting (new?) way to press check.

    I found this way when I was having a hard time field stripping my Kahr K-9. It is a pain to line up unless you have compleat control. I used to use a wedge of plastic that I would jam between the chamber and the slide to keep it back at the right distance to remove the slide stop. After a...

    Lowest recoil compact 9mm

    Well recoil is going to be a function of several factors. The size and weight are always to effect recoil but there are factors that help tame recoil even in smaller guns. The lower the bore axis, the less the gun is going to flip on you. The better the grip fits you (most important factor...

    What happened to the min Bersa?

    Wasn't Bersa going to make a more compact version of the .380? I even saw pics online.

    Can you let the hammer down on a 1911 with one hand?

    What RS2 said. I don't see it being anymore dangerous than letting the hammer down on a revolver myself. Point the gun in a safe direction and do it and you should be fine.

    Just curious, what's the FBI duty gun?

    When I went to the FBI building in DC, they had an agent put on a shooting demo. He said they are issued Glock 23s and they have the internal Lasermax as well. I don't know if all the agents gets the Lasermax treatment but his G-23 had one and he could put all his shots into a golf ball size...

    Don't buy a PagerPal holster

    "Here's an idea, those of you with PagerPals who hate them so much, sell them to some of the other folks on here who would like to try them out. At least you will recoup some of your money, it's worth nothing to you sitting in a drawer somewhere; and the PagerPal company won't make any more...
