    CZ 75B or 75BD; Safety vs. Decocker?

    Just because you can do it right does not take away its inherent danger. Finger off the trigger and the gun won't fire, simple right? Guess how often folks ND? Now add in thumb here, thumb there, finger here, finger there, let go this, hold that, PULL the trigger with a loaded chamber. You get...

    CZ 75B or 75BD; Safety vs. Decocker?

    I own both and prefer the BD. No matter how comfortable/familiar you are with lowering the hammer manually, it is still a very dangerous procedure and should not be attempted if can be avoided.

    45acp 230gr LSWC, is there such a bullet?

    Here are the pictures. I got to shoot them today. Shot 20 rounds and did not have any malfunction. Feeding was smooth. I didn't try for accuracy but was able to do 1.5" at 12 yards, 2 hands, standing. I think I could probably shrink that down to <1" bench rested. 200gr SWC (Left), 230gr...

    45acp 230gr LSWC, is there such a bullet?

    Well, I picked up some today. I took some photos but for some reason they cannot be opened. I'll do my best to describe it. The 230gr SWC no doubt looks like a swc. Compared it next to a 200gr SWC, it is a tiny bit shorter from the shoulder up but the nose is much fatter (almost the same...

    45acp 230gr LSWC, is there such a bullet?

    Saw an ad of a fella who sells these. What do they look like? How reliable are they compared to the 200gr LSWC? Are these really made to shoot out of a 45acp semi-auto pistol?

    9mm leading too much?

    I had the same problem. Most likely the bullet is undersized. Slug the bore.

    SIG Quality Control

    Sig is still one of the leading companies. There QC is just as good as ever. I speak from personal experience and do not care for the internet whiners. For every thousand of satisfied customers, there is a whiner. What's even more funny is that you often only hear from the whiner. The point...

    Questions from a Beginner

    1) You never need to trim for pistol cases, especially 9mm. If they look bad, toss them. They are free all over the range. 2) Not sure about Hornady. I use Lee dies and each die set comes with its shell holder. 3) You will need a calipher, a beam scale, and a tumbler. A calipher is a must...

    Do You Trust YOUR Electronic or Battery Powered Digital Powder Scale~?

    I use a $12 shipped digital scale http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15002. If .005-.015gr variation is not a concern to you, then this cheapo scale will serve you wonder. The scale seems to be affected by weather, temp, etc. that's why there is a slight variation, but small. What I...

    Best starter equipment

    I wish I had a mentor to steer me away from the Lee anniversary kit. I didn't know any better and made the purchase. It works, no doubt about it, but I ended up replacing half of the stuff it came with. The press is good and is still running strong. The Lee safety Prime works really well...

    Missouri Bullets Coupon?

    Ah I see, thanks. I thought I read some where on this forum that there was a 10% off. 5% is good enough. :D Thanks.

    Friend wants first gun! Glock vs SIG

    Many misconceptions in this tread. 1) Sig mags and Glock mags cost NEARLY THE SAME. Mecgar P226 18rd $19-25. GLock mag, $20-25? Explain to me, where is the price difference? Better deals are out there, look harder. 2) If your sub compact Glock out shoots your X-Five, it is your damn failure...

    Anyone ever have a problem taking their Ruger Mk II Apart?

    You DO NOT need to field strip your pistol to clean. I had a ton of trouble taking/putting it together. So once I got it together, I vowed to never, ever, take it apart again. Now, all you need to do to clean is: 1) Pull the bolt back and engage the bolt catch. 2) Give the...

    $200 and under Bolt action .22lr?

    Marlin 925. With a $30.00 Barska 3-9x scope, I can group < 1 inch at 50 yards all day long. Fit and finish are very nice. It has that "real gun" feel to it. Best part is I paid $150.00 for mine less than a year ago. Check Wal-mart, I think they still sell these.

    Which .22 auto

    I see all these threads on the internet about people bashing the Sig Mosquito. Funny, because I bet most of them don't even know why their pistol comes with 2 recoil springs. I have only seen three Mosquitos in person, including mine, and they all ran flawlessly. Mine had about 1 1/2 - 2...

    Please Recommend a First-Time Defensive Pistol

    $200 will be next to impossible to find a reliable pistol. Sorry man, but even if you were lucky enough to find one, you also have to factor in the costs of ammo, a holster, and a safe place to keep it out of your daughter's reach. Save up a bit more before you take the dive.

    Mosin Nagant

    Get an M39. For a hundred bucks more, it is a world of difference in terms of quality and accuracy. I've been down that road. You can find them here http://www.gunsnammo.com/. Get one that is considered as "antique" so you can have it shipped right to your front door without paying the...

    commy ammo.. 1970-1980's

    Surplus ammo will NOT give you the best groupings. You are comparing mass produced ammunition to match grade ammunition, no comparison. They are, however, very inexpensive to shoot, especially the mil surp 7.62x54R. Powerful round, big boom, accurate enough, and dirt cheap. What more could...
