    best bore condition for sight in.....?

    What is better to sight in, a clean bore or a fouled bore? I was thinking a fouled bore would be more practical for any followup shots but im not certain how quickly a shot fouls the barrel? My guess is if it takes more than 2 shots then the barrel temp changes your POI anyways...

    Heinie EZ-Lock sight

    this is a long shot, but does anyone have an opinion or experience with the Heinie EZ-Lock sight? (In my case, specifically for a Novak style 1911 cut...) They have the exact sight in their Ledge series I want to upgrade to but I'm skeptical they don't use a press fit and don't trust relying on...

    effects of shooting aids on POI?

    I'm not confident there is an answer to this but decided to ask anyways.... All other things being equal, is there any difference in point of impact (POI) between shooting from a vise like a led sled vs. sandbags? Do the effects of recoil resonate differently between a solid mechanical clamp...

    25-06 bullet selection for elk hunting

    I hunt elk with a 25-06... and am fully aware of how light the bullet is. For that reason I am both picky on ammo selection and accuracy and practice a few times throughout the off season. I had a long time supply of Federal Premium all from the same production lot 117g Sierra Gameking BTSP...

    Universal Background Checks sans registration

    Is it possible? Im curious how many gun rights supporters, especially the most ardent gun rights supporters, would support universal background checks (UBC) on all sales including gun shows and private sales (FTF) if there was no registration scheme included with the background check? And how...

    1911 new barrel

    Just a couple of questions, I have a commander sized 1911 I want to put a new barrel in. I bought a new match grade barrel and bushing from Wilson combat, and will have a professional gunsmith do the installation. For my own understanding, when a new barrel is fitted is it only the barrel...

    Point of impact off?

    I have a dilemma and need opinions... Brand new 1911, first time firing it and the POI is way off for me. Sights are fixed (non-adjustable) combat sights. I need the brutal truth if its just me or if this should go back to warranty repair. All other 1911s I shoot are dead on. The smaller 3"...

    Federal Republic

    disclaimer, so I might be opening up and exposing my own ignorance here, but I'm just a regular guy and no legal eagle trying to wrap my head around the ever increasing gun politics happening. I don't know how to say it, and don't have the hours, perhaps weeks free right not to try to wrap my...

    Oregon Initiative 43 passes first step; complete ban on all modern guns...

    thought I would share what were facing here in Oregon. Citizens collected enough signatures to move forward towards getting a complete ban on all modern defensive type firearms. There does appear to be some kind of grandfather clause for current owners who don't want to surrender their guns, but...

    1911 slide cutouts...

    What are the slide cutouts for on a 1911? Occasionally I will notice custom work done including cutouts in the slide over the barrel area, then I recall that at least one production gun... Smith and Wesson makes a production gun with slide cutouts. So I go to its web page and it doesn't appear...

    1911 parts

    I thought most of the smaller parts to a 1911 were interchangeable and not caliber specific. I know the frame feed ramp, breech face and obviously barrel are all caliber specific. I'm looking for an authentic Colt extended safety lock, but cant find one available... they are all sold out...

    Weapon Mounted Light Training...

    Specifically pistols, teach me about the use of a weapon mounted light (WML) on a pistol. I'm not asking so I can skip taking a class, I'm asking so I can gauge if I want to invest in it and take a class. I just want a basic idea of what the training entails, so I can decide if a light would...

    striker fired malfunctions

    I'm curious to know how often malfunctions happen in striker fired pistols? Have you had one, or more in the same gun? Has anyone had a "lemon"? My understanding is that striker fired guns are some of the most reliable guns made today, "they just work" when you want them to. So I'm curious how...

    1911 FLGR

    1911 Full Length Guide Rod Why do 1911 manufacturers sell new 1911s with a Full Length Guide Rod (FLGR) when it has no proven advantage but harder to disassemble? Is it the same reason many 1911 manufacturers sell bushing compensator's? This includes high end 1911 manufacturers, I would think...
