Does anyone have any experience with Lauer Weaponry's DuraCoat aerosol kits? I'd like to try it, but I'm torn between giving the aerosol kit a try, and just buying the coating and using an airbrush. If anyone has used the aerosol, I'd like to hear how it worked for you. For either method of...

The Massachusetts AG had issued an "enforcement notice" regarding so-called assault weapons. Multiple FFLs along with the National Shooting Sports Foundation sued. The AG tried to have the suit tossed. She lost. http://www3.nssf.org/share/GR/2019/MemorandumandOrderonMotiontoStay.pdf

According to the Army Times, Sig Sauer has made multiple tweaks to the M17 and M18 pistols, with the goal of achieving minimal reliability in performance. https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2019/02/22/heres-how-the-army-fixed-your-handgun-problem/ My question is: If the original design...

I just tried to log onto The Sight (www.sightm1911.com) to look up some 1911 information and I got a "Timed Out" error message. Does anyone know if The Sight is having technical issues? Has the site been discontinued when I wasn't paying attention?

Because what's the point of adding new laws when the ones on the books aren't being followed? https://freebeacon.com/issues/dod-incompetence-led-air-force-not-share-shooters-criminal-records-fbi/ Air Force Department of Defense IG investigation shows that the Sutherland Springs shooter's...

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fedex-nra-breakingviews/breakingviews-exclusive-fedex-drops-nra-deal-by-snail-mail-idUSKCN1N425N This was announced a couple of days ago but I held off posting until I had permission from the mods to post, since it's not strictly gun-related. I have seen this...

Every time you use the check weight to calibrate your scale, you are introducing a scientifically-troublesome degree of inaccuracy: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/redefining-the-kilogram/ [Yes, this is mentioned in some degree of jest.]

https://youtu.be/0KawAOjL7HI A couple of Dutchmen found some seriously cool stuff in a pond. I wonder if their laws allow them to keep any of it -- like the MG-15, for example. For having been under water for over 70 years, some of the stuff is in surprisingly good condition. I wonder if the...

I visited a friend this afternoon who happens to be a fellow NRA Pistol instructor. We got talking about what we each allow in our classes, and what we don't. For example, I use only dummy guns in the classroom (actually, blank firing replicas, because the actual dummy guns I've found aren't...

I need to make up some dummy rounds for a non-firing classroom firearm that has chambers too short to accept .22 LR, so I can't just go out and buy a package of A-zoom action proving dummies. I'm going to have to shoot up a few rounds of my .22 Short and make my own dummies. I have the bullets...

I'm an NRA certified instructor in Basic Pistol, but not rifle. To avoid having real guns in my classes, I have obtained a motley assortment of airsoft replicas and blank-firing replicas in order to have classroom props to show the difference between single action and double action, and how...

Is there any standard as to what the trigger pull weight "should" be on a cowboy-style revolver? As I've gotten more interested in that type of firearm, I've handled a number of Pietta and Uberti clones (can't afford a real Colt, so I've never even laid hands on one). What I've noticed: Two...

Does anyone have one of these, or is anyone familiar with it? It's a small, lightweight, snubnose revolver chambered for .380 ACP. It holds five rounds, and uses moon clips. Taurus still has it in their catalog, but I haven't found any user feedback on it. Are they any good? A big question for...

There are numerous sources on the Internet for blueprints of the M1911 ... both prints of originals, and reproductions of more modern, CADD-drawn versions. Is there any such set of blueprints available for the 1873 Single Action Army?

Does anyone have a 6-shot (not the 12-shot) Uberti Cattleman in .22LR (or .22LR/.22WMR convertible)? If so, I would greatly appreciate it if you could post photos of both ends of the cylinder, out of the gun. There's a screwball idea bouncing around in that big empty space between my ears ...

I just received the following by e-mail from the NSSF: With regard to the third question: "This information is captured on the ATF Form 4473, question #6, which requires the transferee to indicate his/her sex (not gender) by checking or filling in the applicable box adjacent to 'Male' or...

Can someone provide the physical dimension of the factory recoil spring for a Beretta 92? Outside diameter and free length, please. Thanks.

People must be ready to pack up and leave if she even shows up.

I shoot at an indoor range. They have a nice chronometer, a CED Millennium, complete with the heavy-duty tripod and infrared skyscreens for indoor use. The owner of the range doesn't know how to use it, and he doesn't remember where he got it, but he allows clients who know how to use it to do...

Is anyone a subscriber to www.loaddata.com? I'd like to see their data for the .44 Colt, but it's not worth the cost of a subscription to get a couple of loads for one cartridge that I'm interested in only as a curiosity. https://loaddata.com/Cartridge/44-Colt-Data/2387
