    1911 Color case hardening

    Love to see some members color case 1911 or other semi autos. Mainly I would like to know who will color case harden a 1911 for me. Thinking I would like to get a new Rem or Colt, strip it, send it off to make it prettier.

    Proper slide lube, metal guns only.

    I know this has been discussed many times over. But everything I have found seems to be more of an argument and less about actual information. I just received a new pistol and its on my mind. I wiped down the factory oil that was everywhere. I have now applied frog lube and worked it back and...

    Para-STI Double stacks

    Considering a DS 1911. Whats out there that is good quality? I want to stay under $2k-ish. Para looks like it can be had in the $1200 range. Is the quality anywhere near STI? Are there other brands i should be looking at?

    New steel/alloy body pistols

    So pretty much all 1911 manufacturers offer steel body guns. SIG, CZ, Browning, Beretta offer models that are steel or alloy frame. What else is out there on current production non-1911 steel/alloy body pistols? Anything from HK or FN?

    Quality currently made DA revolver brand

    Wondering whats out there that im not aware of. Only interested in high quality, no bargain brands. Korth & S&W are the only 2 I am aware of at this time, big gap between the two brands. Then another slight drop down to Ruger. I suppose Kimber can now fit in there someplace. But, they only offer...

    75 compared to P226

    I handled both today side by side. CZ75B and a 226 Legion. Both are very comfortable. Like the position of the SSIG controls but the gun feels kinda cheep compared to the much less expensive CZ. I have fired a P01 never a full size CZ or SIG. CZ seems to have a grip closer to the bore axis. I am...

    Short Barrel 357 SD rounds

    Bought my son a 340ct for his duty bug gun. I am curious about the short barrel 357 on the market. Are they just 38s or are they actually researched with faster powder etc.. to get magnum performance from sub 2" barrel. Considering the weight and of this gun I expect him to practice and qualify...

    Colt Woodsman versus modern 22lr

    Curious how well the Woodsman performs alongside modern 22lr like the Buckman and Ruger Mark series. The gun is rather legendary. The only drawback I see (in pics) is that it has a heel magazine release unlike the modern pushbutton side mag release. Bluing on the Woodsman is beautiful.

My daughter is now shooting with me regularly and it would be nice to have a second. Originally I was considering a Kadet kit and a CZ75. Kadets are like hens...

    Precision. Handgun sights

    I would like a very fine sight for my 686 or other handguns. Something more like a fine brass bead on a rifle. All of the handgun sights I have or have seen are to blocky for me to get the groups I want or I think the gun is capable of
