    Reduced Power Hammer Spring for P32

    Galloway Precision has a reduced power hammer spring for the Kel-Tec P32. I like the P32 and would like to like it more. Has anyone here installed this spring? Did you notice an "about 1.5 pound" decrease in the trigger pull? Would it be a difficult install for an amateur, sometimes...

    Question about hammer velocity

    So I was watching a show titled Hollywood Weapons, or something like that title, the other night while trying to put myself to sleep. It was a Myth Busters-type show that tested the validity of shoot out scenes from action movies. This particular episode examined an action sequence in which...

    Springfield Xdm trigger job advice

    I am endeavoring to enjoy my Xdm more with an improved trigger and night sight installation. I have scanned sites for Springfield's custom shop, Springer Precision and Powder River Precision. Prices seem to be equivalent. Are there other smiths I should consider? Why should I pay one company...

    Please explain a strange malfunction

    My Bersa BP9cc had a failure to feed with the 2nd round, consistently. It happened 6 times consecutively from 3 different magazines using two types FMJ ammo. The first chambered round would fire and the 2nd round would get hung up at the bottom of the feed ramp. The gun experienced no other...

    Yet another school shooting

    I see TFL threads pop up from time-to-time debating the policy of having defensive firearms in public schools. My response: NO! This issue hits close to home for me now. Last week there was a shooting in the cafeteria of the high school in my home town, in the district in which I teach, the...

    Tell me about your CZ P-09

    The CZ P-09 appears to be the handgun for me. But, I have never seen one at a local gun store or gun show and the nearest range with one on its rental list is a 2 1/2 hour drive. I am comfortable with DA/SA systems. I carried a Beretta 92 for years while in the service and have also owned a...

    Is this the new python?

    The Beretta Vertec. It is shown on Beretta's website with an MSRP at $899. There are 3 listed on gunbroker right now, cheapest at $2000. Is the pistol out of production? The website does not suggest such. I would love to have it. I shot several 92s while in the service and my only...

    Issues with Browning SA22 takedown

    Hello all, My 9-year old son received my father-in-law's Browning SA-22 takedown rifle as Christmas gift. We took it out in the cold to test fire today and it would not cycle. The first magazine of 4 and next with 5 fed and fired fine but every other round after that would appear to want...

    Springfield Armory advertising - a pointless question

    What's with the new Springfield advertising campaign: Saint, due for launch 11/1/2016? The Learn More link just brings up more photos of fitness models. I'VE JUST GOT TO KNOW!!! I CAN'T WAIT. I can; just curious. Does anyone know?

    Smith and Wesson 439 at LGS

    $450. It looks in really good condition. I did not see any nicks, scratches or wear in the blued finish. I don't think it has been handled much. It has the adjustable sight. It comes with an extra magazine. I did not ask about box or papers. The trigger felt like a typical DA/SA trigger...

    XDM accuracy

    I bought an XDm, 9mm, with 4.5 inch barrel about Christmas time and noticed, after I got it home (of course), that the rear sight was shifted a few hairs to the left. It shot left of center during two range trips so I decided to send it back to Springfield for adjustment and zero verification...

    Laser and/or light and/or night sights?

    I would like to add illumination to my bedside pistol, either a Springfield XDm or a Bersa BP9cc, but I don't know what I need. All of my low light shooting experience has been with .223 tracers or fuzzy night scopes under controlled conditions in the ...uhh, let me think... early 2000s. Do I...

    Springfield Custom Shop

    I am considering a trigger job for my XDm, 9mm, to take some weight out of the pull. Springfield's custom shop charges $195 for a "competition action job" and $145 for a "combat action job". Combat action job means... what? Combat is a 4 - 5.5lb pull while a competition modification is 3 - 5...

    Scope Mounts (The question I did not ask)

    I started a thread in October asking for advice selecting an introductory scope for a S&W M&P 15. After several helpful replies and images, I have finally decided on a Bushnell, 1-4x24 AR Optic from CTD. But, after looking at posted pictures on the thread, I began to wonder about the scope...

    Ruger and Springfield Armory

    I have been searching for an automatic to fit my girly-sized hands. The Sig P229 I have now is too bulky. Today, I handled both a Ruger SR9 and a Springfield XD-series (also 9mm). They fit much better than the Sig. I am leaning towards the Ruger because of a more natural feeling grip angle...

    Will these rifle rounds last?

    I was casually cruising Cheaper Than Dirt, looking at ammo prices, and found these: .458 Lott, $168.05, 20 round box .460 Weatherby Magnum, $165.92, 20 round box .500 Nitro Express, $207.76, 20 round box .505 Gibbs, $193.40, 10 round box YIKES! Glad I am not a big game hunter. CTD even...
