Does anyone make a Galco Miami Classic or Jackass style leather shoulder holster and mag carrier for a Beretta 3032 Tomcat? Galco’s website no longer has them, presumably since the Tomcat is no longer in production. You can still buy Miami Classic holsters, or even just the spider straps, but...

I am an absolute noob when it comes to revolvers, but I shot a 6” S&W 686 in .357 a bit, and loved it; I’ve also shot a .44 Magnum (S&W N-frame, I think). I think I might like to get one of my own. I have shot semiautos for 30+ years in 9mm/.40/.45 and even some local USPSA, so I am not new to...

So I grabbed my spare mag carrier this morning for my EDC (same S&W 3913LS that I’ve carried since 1995ish) and saw this sticking out of the pouch: That’s not good! That happened since my last range trip just a couple of weeks ago. It’s a common failure mode of the plastic baseplates, at...

Years ago I picked up a used Remington 597 at a pawn shop for $140. I have mixed feelings about it. I took it to the range yesterday, and for a cheap pawn-shop .22, it shoots well. 50 yards, Federal match, with a cheap 2.5x shotgun scope: 100 yards, cheap Federal bulk stuff: But it is...

I’ve been wanting to read this book since Jeff Cooper recommended it in his column in G&A in the early ‘90s, but I have never been able to find it. Has any hunting/shooting publishing house ever reprinted this? I’d think there’s a market for it, judging by the price of old editions on Amazon...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector_sight Short version: They were invented in 1901, were in military use in World War I, and were highly developed by World War 2, but their application to small arms was limited by battery life until the development of LED's and better batteries...

FN FNS-9L longslide 9mm, 5" barrel, 17+1. :) http://www.fnhusa.com/l/products/competition/competition-handguns/fns9-long/ Backstory, I put my S&W 5906 on consignment a while back to fund the purchase of something with a longer sight radius and lighter weight. I looked at the Glock 34...

I'm looking hard at trading my 5906 for a 5" M&P Pro, but according to what I've read, some of the 9mm Pros were a bit lacking in the accuracy department and I don't know if that issue has been resolved. For those who own the 5" M&P, what kind of accuracy do you get at 25 yards?

I'm a big fan of Eotechs, but I am disappointed in my 516...going to have to call Eotech tomorrow and send it back for repair. Apparently the diffraction grating is starting to delaminate; I have a dead stripe in the right third of the window in which the reticle disappears. At first I thought...

Via Shall Not Be Questioned: Another good reason to CCW to/from the range, IMO. When I used to shoot at a very rural range in northwest Florida, we had an incident where a van pulled up to the firing line while a shooter was downrange and tried to steal his guns; I always took one downrange...

Any recent changes to the laws/reciprocity I need to know about? I have a NC CHL. Can anybody point me to a good summary of VA law?

Does anyone know if these will fit a 94? http://www.midwayusa.com/product/1151153977/hogue-fancy-hardwood-grips-with-finger-grooves-taurus-small-frame Or if there are any better/cheaper alternatives?

I shoot a Rock River AR with a 16" barrel (it originally came as an "Elite CAR A4", and I sprung for chrome lining and a 5.56mm chamber). It's accurate, but quite nose-heavy, even without a light on it; I'm not sure if it'd be considered an HBAR or just "medium weight", but it is quite a bit...

I'm kicking around the idea of a laser sight for my full-sized 9mm (S&W 5906). Problem is, it's a 3rd-gen metal-frame S&W with no rail. I see that Crimson Trace makes a Lasergrip for this gun, but judging from the pics, it adds girth compared to the flat-backstrap S&W grip, and due to small...

The little leaf spring that takes up the slack in the trigger assembly when shooting single-action has lost temper. How do I replace this?

Does anyone still make 40gr .223 JHP, non-ballistic-tip? I'm thinking along the lines of the old Federal P223V (formerly Federal "Blitz"), fragile HP with no plastic cap. I tried searching for some last night, but Google's policy of censoring firearm-related results from shopping searches...

I've been kicking around the idea of trading my 2002 SAR-1 (7.62x39mm) and ban-era magazines for a 5.45x39mm AK of some flavor. Since it's a 2002 and ban-compliant, do these bring any sort of price premium compared to a post-2004 Romanian AK, since they can be lawfully owned in NY, MA, and CT?

Since I may be traveling to Boston for a bit in the next year or so, I am kicking around the idea of picking up a Massachusetts LTC so that I can legally have an unloaded pistol locked in the trunk, as I'd like to have it with me during other parts of the trip. I would likely not be carrying in...

I've never talked about it much here, but I own a Remington Nylon 66 150th Anniversary edition, long paired with a Weaver C4 scope. The rifle was purchased new by my great-uncle in the '60s and passed down to my dad when my uncle passed away in the early '70s. My dad gave it to me when I was a...
