    Thompson TA5 Pistol

    Hello All, I have always wondered about the Thommy Gun pistols. They look like a fun little range toy, and I have a chance to get one from a friend for cheap. I have one of the Auto Ordnance semiautomatic PCC Thompsons, and I love it. Especially with the Howell spring system. The stock springs...

    High Standard Bolt Disassembly

    Howdy folks. One of the only guns I've had the pleasure of receiving for free was a gorgeous .22lr High Standard Sport King. Every shot I've got out of it has rivalled my rifles in accuracy and it's a very pretty and well-weighted shooter, with a field strip so easy it makes a ruger mk 4 look...

    Is it worth reloading 357 magnum?

    My dad is pretty stoked now that he has a red dot on his 357 mag and wants to take it deer hunting (he’s got the skills, no worries about a clean shot there) So I already make him .38spcl for plinking which drill 8” plates at 50 yards just using a turret press and knocking out plinker rounds...

    Advice on 9mm load?

    This is kind of long. And kind of wordy. But my reasoning is that it’ll save time to tell as much as I can. So, just to lay out the variables… I’m working on a 9mm load with HP-38 (I have six pounds…) and 125gr moly-coated conical nose bullets from Summit City (cheap). I did a ladder test and...

    Mystery 9mm magazine identification sought

    You would THINK that in the year 2023 with Google's "Image Search" function on their (and others) search engine, I would be able to quickly identify this magazine, right? Wrong. I've done numerous searches and come up with bupkis. Magazine is definitely 9X19 and the capacity is 16 rounds...

    Looking for 9mm for less than 600 dollars - leaning towards a Glock

    Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm looking for a semi-automatic 9mm pistol. My maximum budget is 500 dollars but I want to spend 400 or less. I haven't really looked at guns over 400. The best I can find that are legal in California are the Ruger Security 9, SAR B6C, and Beretta APX. The Smith &...

    How to remove extractor from Star Firestar M43

    Hello, I recently acquired this old compact single stack 9mm Spanish beauty and I really like it. Unfortunately, I'm having a failure to extract malfunction in about 1 out of 5 shots. The fired case gets extracted from the chamber about half way and gets stuck, making contact with the round...

    Foregrip on a pistol question

    Hi, I was contemplating the nauseating minutia of ATF pistol regulations. Specifically I was wondering about the foregrip laws which say that a "pistol" may not have a vertical foregrip. I have two questions here: 1) Does this mean only 90 degree grips, or is it more vague and the guys...

    Florida Firearm legality at 18

    Hey, I'm about to turn 18 and after looking at the Florida statues; it doesn't say anywhere that I wouldn't be to own a handgun or long gun. It does say that an 18 year old may not purchase from a license dealer, but CAN purchase from an individual or receive a gift of said firearm. I am asking...

    Firing the Reid Knuckle Duster

    To kick in the New Year, I tightened the mainspring on this Reid knuckle Duster. I picked it up a few weeks ago at auction. Now she is in firing condition! I loaded some rounds with the .22 short bullets pulled and only the primers left in (otherwise I would not be firing it into the dark)...

    Show us your rifle / pistol combinations...What works for you?

    COVID and everything about it sucks. Time to think about how to consolidate. Who has the solution? What same caliber guns do you own in both rifle and pistol? What bullets are you currently shooting out of your combo’s?

    Gun or Guns that became far more used or far less used than you thought they would.....

    This can be for rifles, shotguns, pistols, muzzleloader, or any other type of firearm that you bought that end up being far more used or not used than you thought they would be when you initially bought them. I am not a shooter, I no longer shoot for fun, although I hope that will change as my...

    Firestar M43 9mm. Failure To Eject. Anybody?

    Probably 20+ years ago, I purchased a new Firestar M43 9mm in Starvel finish. Ran 200-300 rounds through it over the next year. Always performed flawlessly with any ammo. It ended up in a drawer, while life took over, for a few years then loaned to a family member for several more. Supposedly...

    Firearm instructor

    I want to start my own range and be able to offer and instruct courses, especially concealed carry. All my research point to the NRA to become qualified. Is there any other channels to obtain a license to instruct other than through the NRA?
