    disabling 1911 firing pin safety

    I think I already know the answer to this but just to be sure. Isn't true that to do away with the firing pin safety on a Colt 1911 all I have to do is remove the slide mounted block and spring and replace the actuating finger in the frame with a spacer? Anything else I'm forgetting. Thanks in...

    Savage rifle

    I've looked at Savage Arms online catalog and I can't figure out the difference between the 110 and the 111. I'm sure someone here knows and will tell me. Any comments on Savage quality will also be appreciated. Thanks in advance. ------------------ Join the NRA.

    Refinishing grips

    I just posted this question in "Gear and Accessories" then realized this should be here. Anyway, I bought a set of Eagle Secret Service rosewood grips for my S&W 638 and I can't get use to the finger grooves. I'm going to reshape the front strap but I'm unsure what to use to refinish the newly...

    Handgun grip finish

    I recently bought a set of Eagle Secret Service rosewood grips for my S&W 638 and the finger grooves just don't work for me. I'm going to reshape the front strap portion but I'm unsure what kind of finish to use on the newly bared wood. Sugestions? :confused: ------------------ Join the NRA...

    Ruger No. 1-V caliber suggestions

    I'm a long time hand gunner but now I want to get into punching paper with a rifle. I'm looking at the Ruger No. 1-V and I'm torn between a 223 or 220 Swift. I'm not going to hunt with this rifle or compete, just have fun with it. Which round has the most inherent accuracy, ease of reloading...

    Rifle scope

    Looking at scopes for a Remington BDL in 7mm Mag. Any feelings out there about Leupold vs. Simmons variables. Thinking about a Simmons ADT (I think that's the right model designation) 2.5x10. This would be used for South Texas mulies and occasional trips to Colorado. Any comments would be...

    Hard chrome on alloy

    I have a S&W 638 that I like very much but I hate it's crappy coating . It's very soft and is coming off the backstap after less than a year of moderate use. I'd like to get the gun bright chromed. Is this a viable option for a stainless/alloy handgun? Is electroless nickle better? Who is a...

    Kahr Arms

    I try as much as I can to vote with my money. I will not financially support a company or country whoes policies I disagree with. No Chinese products, no Kmart (that Rosie thing), no Japanese cars. You get the picture. Anyway, it's come to my attention that Kahr Arms Corp. is owned and operated...
