    Is Glock the Colt 1911 of the 1980s & earlier?

    So I was thinking about this today.. Seems like Glock is acting exactly like Colt did in the 1980s and earlier in failing to listen to consumers desires and failing to read the changes in the gun market. People wanted more features in their 1911s as seen in competition and defensive arms...

    Some new Hi Powers

    So I waited too long on getting the stainless Tisas Hi Power clones to supplement my original FN Hi Powers and FEG and Inglis Hi Powers. Therefore I went overboard and got 4 Girsan Hi Power clones. In the left is Girsan's MCP35 DI which is a clone of the FM Detectives of the 1990s. In the...

    CZ P01 conversion

    Can a non-Omega P01 be converted from decocker to the safety using CZ or aftermarket parts? Or does it require machining and labor to the point of it being cheaper to buy an Omega version? Found a decocker model for a good price but I was going to do a trigger job anyway using Cajun Gun Works...

    Adult sized 22 lightweight bolt or single shot?

    So Dad's getting to the point where a regular rifle is too heavy. He wants a cheap lightweight 22 bolt clip-fed or single shot to lean up against the back door of the house for pests. He didn't want my Anschutz 22 bolt gun because it's too expensive in case of theft and too heavy. Ideas?

    Most tactical of untactically tactical pants?

    The older I get the more pockets I find I need. I was able to get by with carpenter pants and it's additional pocket. Now I'm looking for 2-3 more pockets. However, I want them to look like regular jeans or khakis and not operator's pants because I don't need kneepad pockets or AR-15 mag...

    Another new Hi Power clone coming out

    So I saw that EAA Corp is the importer for the new Girsan MC P35 which is a clone of the classic Hi Power. Not sure why Tisas isn't bringing in their Regent BR9 Hi Power clone so it looks like the other Turkish maker Girsan stepped in to fill the void. https://eaacorp.com/product/girsan-mc-p35/

    How good are the Fusion 1911s?

    Been seeing a lot of the new Fusion 1911s Freedom Series for sale. I'm looking for a 9mm commander with the bobbed frame and they have their Riptide Carry+C that fits the bill. Are they any good? Haven't heard of them before. My usage will be a range toy and possibly carry if it's reliable...

    Converting 1911 from 45 to 9mm

    I am wondering if you can convert a 1911 from 45acp to 9mm? If so would you need the 9mm mag, extractor, recoil spring and other bits? Or is a new slide required?

    New to CCW

    Looking for advice for a holster. I generally sit a lot in my office chair, car and easy chair. Would you recommend a cross draw holster or one for the 3-4 o'clock position? Not too interested in AIWB or AOWB since it's not too comfortable. It would be for a Hi Power, SR9C or 509 Compact...

    She did what? I converted her?

    My wife came from a left leaning family who are somewhat anti-gun. Nevertheless she married me despite me being very pro-gun. Had a doctor's appointment in a town an hour away. Having never visited LGS there I said let's go to 2-3 stores there. I was looking for a compact 9mm for me and...

    Stabilizing brace for 1911

    So I've seen what is believed to be an Israeli manufactured 1911 mainspring housing in which a buttstock slides on and locks into place. That got me to thinking of a similar idea for using a stabilizing brace. Anybody know of a company making one?0

    Frame material

    So we have handgun frames in steel, aluminum, scandium, brass, zamak and plastic. Why not bronze? Yeah it's not lighter but it's a nice looking material from an aesthetic perspective. Just wondering why it has not been used before.

    Price check on Saiga?

    So a friend asked if I still had the Saiga AK47 in 308 NATO with 16" barrel. I bought it new, had it legally converted to standard pistol grip configuration and refinished in Duracoat. It has the side rail, Galil style Ace folding stock, Ergo pistol grip and 5 or 6 20 round mags. Only been...

    Red dots on a Hi power?

    I thought about buying as Israeli surplus Hi Power or an FEG or Tisas clone to use to mount an RMR type sight for my aging eyes. That way my two original HI Powers are unmolested. However, I'm not finding any companies that mill the slide on them. Is that because there's not enough meat on...

    Any good or bad thoughts on Galil Ace?

    Thinking of getting the rifle version in 7.62x39. With good upper end AKs increasing in price I thought about buying the ACE instead. Any negatives to watch for on these?

    Gun in car in Texas legal?

    A neighbor of mine was telling me last night that it is now legal to have a gun in your car in Texas. I always thought you had to have a CCW to do this. I know that before CCW passed in Texas that it was legal for you have to have a gun in the car if you were traveling, going hunting or to...
