Lok Grips makes brass grips for CZ pistols, and I do plan to ask them, but does anybody else make, say brass, grips? I would like to get some weight on my target pistol, and that seems like a good idea. I added some thin metal spacers to my 1911, but they don't offer them for the Ruger.:cool:

I have a universal rod that I use on my centerfire pistols, no prob. It just barely fits into my 22 Ruger, and I worry about it being too tight a fit. A search on Amazon was not rewarding. Surely there exists a smaller diameter rod for 22 pistols?:cool:

I am planning on getting a Nelson 22 conversion, and I have a Springfield Tactical with the godforsaken lock on it, and it also has the laser grip, which should not be a problem to remove, but I thought it wise to see if anyone had issues using the Springfield tactical in a conversion such as...

I notice some higher end makers offer bull barrels in their pistols, but none, to my knowledge offer a 1911 in bull barrel. Tangfoglio and the CZ custom shop offer some pistols in Bull barrel. Are they better than/as good as a bushing?:cool:

Just got a copy of Guns and Ammo which has an article on Norma ammo, long a favorite of mine. They make the best brass so I am told, and some really unique ammo. I am a big long time fan of 45acp for a variety of reasons, most of which center around re loading and the ease of handling the...

I am sure somebody has put a red dot on a 1911. Which one and how do you like it??:cool:

Anybody have experience with Kimber's 357 offerings, either the hidden hammer or exposed 357?:cool:

I have been shooting 200gr HP and SWC in my 45's with 4.6gr of Winchester 231 behind them. Recently loaded some 185 HP from Berry's, and got some interesting results. No discernible difference in accuracy. Slightly less recoil occasional failure to eject in the 185's - this from a CZ97 with a...

Just got ready to load some 185gr HP for my 45acp shooting. I normally use 200gr, SWC and HP from a few different suppliers. I was reading my 45acp loading guide, and none of the bullet suppliers were listed, although 185gr HP and Win 231 power combination was. I then went to Hornaday's 50th...

When I go to my indoor range, what I see mostly is young guys blasting away at man sized targets. A few of us geezers shoot bullseye, but no young guys. Any of us going to be replaced?:D

I have several pistols with Holosun dots, but one, my CZ 97, seems obstinate in getting on point of aim. I set it up with a laser bore sight at home, but when I get to the range, it is shooting low and either right or left, doesn't seem to be consistent. I checked the mount, and the dovetail...

Ok, this might be in the wrong place, but I spent about an hour trying Google with little luck. I don't have long guns, probably never will as I am old and home most of the time. I live in a safe residential neighborhood, with really good neighbors who look out for each other. Cops are maybe...

Trying to get educated. I am told the CZ 97 has a rising firing pin block and the Tanfoglio has a falling FPB (might be the reverse) and to do away with the FPB and convert these pistols to single action only, aka "Race Gun" makes them dangerous. Since I only want to use them at the range, and...

I can change recoil springs, sights and grips on just about any pistol I have seen/owned. What I can't/won't do is mess with triggers and sears and such. There has to be someone who wrote a tome about converting say a Tanfoglio from DA to SA. Or perhaps a pistol with the same kind of...

My local range/shop has Match LPP for sale @ $159/1000.:(

I find 1911's grip a bit thin compared to CZ 97 or Tanfoglio. Who makes fat grips for 1911s?:cool:

I have a nice (used) 550, dunno if it is an A, B, C, or X model. It does have the teflon coated primer feed bar. For some reason, and not necessarily constant, it overfeeds primers with the result that when loading an extra one finds its way onto the base, announcing its presence by the...

I have always had problems with stock 45's ejecting my lower power loads, and the remedy was a lighter recoil spring. Cajun Gun Works has a post saying the way to tell is when you get about a 6ft ejection of brass. If your spring is too heavy, no ejection, if too light, brass in the next zip...

A lot of folks who shoot bullseye for 45acp have had their CZ97's converted to SA, stating that that improves the trigger function. How does that work? I am told by my gunsmith that it should not make any difference. He did a trigger job on my Sig 220 and it is perfect, still retaining DA, which...

I am convinced I will have to use red dots. No ifs or ands. That said, I don't mind having a slide milled, but am ignorant of how the mounting of the red dot works with a milled slide. Does the machinist drill and tap for set screws, or do you just rely on Lok tite and a tight fit? I have also...
