I'm sure this is an ignorant question, but are the springs in the Tripp Research 1911 Super 7 Upgrade kit directional? I'm changing out the springs and followers on three Wilson 47D magazines and both ends look pretty much the same to me. The Wilson springs are easy to tell which end is which.

I ran across a Taran Tactical +2 mag extension for my Glock 43 for a decent price and decided to give it a try. Almost all of the reviews that I had read about these said that they are not reliable with hollow points but work great with FMJ. I should have listened and moved on. I ran some 115 gr...

I have a Glock 19, 26 and 43. I can't shoot them worth a hoot, but that's neither here nor there. The 26 came with factory night sights and I sent the 19 and 43 to Glock to have night sights installed because the price is reasonable. I believe they are Meprolights, but if I'm wrong I would...

...Is it worth it? The O1991 was Colt's basic no frills gun with basic three-dot sights that are just a bit bigger than GI sights. I have never carried a larger gun in the past (I carried a 642 for a long time and now carry a P938) but have been thinking about trying it. I think I might want a...

Well, I have had this gun a while and never checked to see if the silly thing would chamber .357 Magnum shells....and, it does. If I had known that I would never have paid the money to have it lettered. Anyway, as I have gotten older, I've been trying to sell several of my guns and this was one...

This is from Brownell's description: "The Shield 2.0 with an aggressive Grip texture for enhanced control, new crisp 2.0 trigger with a lighter trigger pull, and a tactile and audible trigger reset with an extremely thin profile & lightweight make it an excellent choice for carry. This gun can...

I don't know why, but I am finding myself more and more drawn to the .45 acp cartridge. There is something about .45 ball ammo sitting next to other cartridges that just makes it stand out. Maybe it's because I can identify with it....short, fat and slow. Anyway, my credit card company is...

Full article here: https://www.yahoo.com/news/nra-white-house-congress-support-review-lawfulness-bump-stocks-190949986.html I have zero interest in owning one of these stocks, but it has always been my opinion that if you want to own one then that's fine with me. I think this is a slippery...

I've been seeing some really good prices (under $700) on a few new Sig P220's lately and it has been tempting me to sell something and try one out. I know that the comparison to a 1911 isn't really apples to apples since the Sig is SA/DA vs the SA only of the 1911, but they are roughly the same...

Apparently there has been some leaked info concerning a new Glock 9mm in the works designed for the German Police. It is supposed to have a rotating barrel, no finger grooves, is ambidextrous and an extended beaver tail built in...

Both are storied names in the firearms world, even though Dan Wesson is fairly new to 1911s compared to Colt. With that being said, Dan Wesson certainly has made a big name for themselves among 1911 enthusiasts with the beautiful guns that they produce. And, Colt...well, Colt is Colt. That...

I know a lot of people will say I did horrible because 1911s with 3" barrels are nothing but trouble. That being said, I have read that the Colts are some of the more reliable of the 1911s in this configuration. Anyway, it's the Defender Elite, which is a discontinued model, and I paid $699.99...

I ran across this quite some time ago but looked it up again a few days ago while talking with someone about 1911s without barrel bushings. In the guns original configuration I guess it is possible to do a complete disassembly without using any tools other than its own parts and a cartridge...

I carry a Sig P938 a lot and carry it in the pocket and I somehow knock the safety off every once in a while. So, I'm thinking of changing the safety to a P238 hammer pin and safety. Have any of you done this and is it pretty easy to do. I'll probably get the parts form Top Gun Supply since I...

I've got a model 10-7 that will have a light strike every once in a while and I want to give it to my sister for a home defense gun, so, I'll have to change that. I checked to see if the strain screw was backed out and it wasn't, so, I think I'll replace the mainspring. My question is are there...

Probably semantics, but is the Shield 9 really a single stack? I know I wouldn't call it a double stack, but if you look at the magazine it is staggered unlike a true single stack like a 1911.

It seems that anytime someone mentions doing a little custom work to a carry gun, someone else chimes in to issue caution stating that any alteration to a carry gun can cause legal issues if used in a defensive situation. My question is this....Has there been any cases that can be cited with...

I have a Glock 26 with night sights. Nice gun....except I'm having a difficult time liking it. It seems almost too small for how thick it is. I can't figure out a way to carry it either. It will fit in my pocket but seems too heavy for that when I can carry my P938 that weighs considerably less...

I sent my Glock 19 slide to Glock July 29th to have them install night sights and should have the slide back to me August 8th. Total cost....$61.33 to my door. That just seems like a really good deal to me. I know there may be better sights out there, but the Glock NS are pretty good. I have...

I have a CM9 and a P9 and finally got around to shooting them back in the Spring. I thought that I would really like them because of the smooth trigger, but I'll be darned if I can shoot either one of the two worth a hoot. I couldn't get a handle on the the "Dot the I" sights of the CM9, but I'm...
