    Italian 9 mm

    Anyone have any info on a 9mm SA auto that was, IIRC, Italian made? Imported in the late 70s or early 80s, I think. Clean lines, and accurate, but SA only doomed it to slow sales. Grip angle was very much like a 1911, though it was a little smaller. Hard chromed bore, I think. I really...

    Another police "error". A good ending.

    Seriously bad news....

    I just got a call today. My best friend, who's a gunsmith in S Kali, called to tell me about the Systema .45 I asked him to get for me. It came in. And he got a look at it. <sigh> I had been planning on doing quite a bit of work to it. I had heard that they are solid 1911s, pure Colt that...

    AR-15 kits

    Well, I did the search, I read the posts, and American Spirit Arms seems to be bad news. So who do you recommend that carries complete kits for building a complete rifle out of a bare receiver?

    Polymer or teflon coatings

    Or whatever wonder-coating. Opinions on which are good, which are bad, and general info about what is available would be appreciated. Also, who does good work. Links are great. Uh, opinions of the "Blue steel is the only finish a gun should have!" variety need not apply. You'd just be...

    "skeletonized" triggers?

    What is the advantage, if any, of a 'skeletonized' trigger, particularly on a 1911?

    Glock, Beretta, and Ruger getting ready to do a S&W?

    Glock, Baretta, and Ruger getting ready to do a S&W? Oh, that's right. Bill Ruger already has sold us out. But this doesn't look good. https://www.keepandbeararms.com/information/XcIBViewItem.asp?ID=2229 It's NOT time to 'forgive' S&W!!!!! We need to keep the pressure on.

    John Farnam's course. Not what I expected.

    A few weeks ago I displayed my ignorance by asking if anyone knew anything about John Farnam. I was interested in taking a defensive handgunning course he was going to be teaching here in Utah. Well, I was informed that I had just asked about one of the top 4 or 5 instructors in the country...

    Mag holders - your prefrence?

    Lookin for some advice on mag holder for 1911 double stack. Tried to pick some up at the local Sprotsman's Warehouse, but the only thing they had in stock was mis-marked. I checked every package they had, and all that were marked for double stacks were actually for single stacks. Bummer! I'm...

    Yes, background checks work very well.

    Is anyone familiar with John Farnam?

    John Farnam http://www.defense-training.com He's teaching a defensive handgun course here in Utah in July. I'm planning on going, but haven't shelled out the bucks yet. His Utah based contact (and, I presume, co-instructor) has impressive credentials. Can anyone give me some first or second...
