    Toughness of Glock finish

    My friends and I were doing some 4th o July shooting yesterday, my buddy stuck his (UNLOADED) Glock 17L into the front his waistband. When he drew the gun from his britches there was a 3 inch long scratch on the side of the slide from the button in his jeans. I know this thread is useless with...

    What optic for RRA Entry Tac upper?

    I just bought a RRA Entry Tac upper for a RRA lower I have, I was told the rail on the upper is intended for a Aimpoint. Are there any other optics that mount (kinda sorta) well on this rail? I am hoping for a low magnification scope W/see through rings so I can still use the irons. Can I get...

    Mag spring life span.

    I have encountered a few used mags with bad springs through the years. A Colt 1911 mag that feed all the rounds but wouldn't lock the slide back no mater how clean it was. A Glock 22 LEO mag that just wouldn't feed all 15 without a jam. More that I won't waste time describing So, I have a 10...

    Guns "talking" to each other

    NEW YORK — The New York Police Department is looking into adapting futuristic technology that would allow officers' guns to recognize one another in an effort to avoid the type of friendly fire that left a cop dead last week. Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly asked his inner circle to compile a...

    Go to guns. Then and now

    My first "go to" gun was a Ruger Redhawk .44mag. It was the under the bed gun as there was no room on or in the bedside table for it. I first loaded it with 240gr JHPs. After doing some reading and some searching I loaded it with .44 specials. I knew they were weak but I could shoot them...

    New to me USP

    I just picked up a used H&K USP .40. It appears to have been someone's carry gun (night sights, finish wear). I paid $570 out the door for the gun and three mags (one old 10rd and two new 13rd) I am excited!:D Would anyone care to share USP experience or just hate on me for my good luck...

    I need that pistol compensation target

    A while ago someone posted pics of a printable target that had different quadrants for different mistakes. Whoever you are, could you post those (Left handed and Right handed) again? Thanks!

    Mossberg 500 FTE

    My buddy has a Mossy 500A "Regal." When he first sighted in the slug barrel there were a few (two I think) failure to extract problems. The empty shell was stuck in the chamber and had to be pried out with a knife blade. The bird barrel has now displayed a similar problem. We were firing...

    00 patterns

    A friend and I set out today to see how the shot patterns from a 14" cyl bore SBS would compare to a 26" with a full choke. (The problem was that he had the modified choke in the gun for our experiment) We were shooting at cardboard silhouettes at 30 yards. With Federal 2 3/4" 00, (Ten...

    Got GP100 back from Ruger...

    I had a GP100, 4" SS. Great solid gun, I wasn't crazy about the trigger. Anyway, a friend wanted to buy it. I told him that the gun could be sent to Ruger and they would take all the scratches out of the finish, replace any worn parts, etc. He would have a "like new" gun. He bought the gun...

    Anyone suppress Sig 226?

    Has anyone suppressed a Sig 226? What can did you use? Did you need to change the recoil springs? Ammo preference? --To the Fudd that will inevitably thread jack me with a "why would you want one?" Because I am a EVIL gun collector that is up to no good. Part of my wicked plans include...

    Don't carry around me.

    I am not directing that title line at any of you (I don't think), but some people I know. Some inlaws in particular... Now I am a pro gun guy and I am all for CC. My issue is that there are some folks who are really unsafe with a gun and giving them the ability to carry one around with them...

    How and how often do you?

    Train that is. I have built five silhouette stands out of 2x4s for use with the brown/white cardboard targets. I have a 6 paddle dueling tree and I sometimes rig up some (very)crude moving targets with rope and pulleys. ---I know that none of these "badguys" pose any threat to my well being...

    When they hear that pump they'll run?

    Once upon a time, I was living in a large apartment with two roommates. At about 3am the front door is kicked open. I hear two loud voices saying "Let's do this, dog!" "I got your back!" "Where's that (expletive) at?" So, I turn on my light and grab up my 590. (Loaded with 00 buck, M9...

    +P+ in 226?

    I am a die hard Glock man but there is room in my heart for others. I just got a Sig 226. I have a bit of +P+ 9mm JHP sitting around. I know Sig's have "to hell and back reliability" but how well do they stand up to over powered ammo? It is not my intention to use this as paper punching...

    Low and to the right.

    I have been shooting .40 cal Glocks almost exclusively for the last four years. I had a S&W M&P .40 for a little bit but I couldn't get over how it shot to 4 o'clock all day for the wife and I. So I just got a Sig 226 9mm. It seems to shoot low and to the right. I am starting to think that...
