Fighting Handguns That Are Superb I have been thinking of what my choices would be for a fighting handgun by caliber. Remember, these are my choices are based the weapon feels in my hand and how well I shoot it. You need to also remember that I have large hands and what works for me may not for...

Remember my running feud with Mitch Rosen over a Workman Holster I bought used for my Kahr E9? Well,I took it to First American Ordnance's (FAO) booth at a gun show in Lansing, MI. FAO sells a lot of Rosen holsters and FAO tried to help me. n the end they agreed that the holster and pistol...

What do my fellow posters know about Walther P1 pistols. I know they have aluminum frames. Is this a real concern? Does anyone know anything about the longevity factor with the aluminum frames? How bad are the triggers on the P1s? Why do I ask? Lew Horton has new P1 pistols with 2 magazines for...

I put down some of my thoughts on the S&W 457 on an other board and thought I would share them. This is a smaller 45acp in the S&W Economy or Value line. In other words it is a "Plain Jane." Well if this is a Plain Jane the company should stick to pistols that don't get asked to a lot of...

I have four 1911A1 pistols that are set for carry. Heres the rub. If I try to carry strong side or behind the kidney the end of the barrel/holster shows. I am tall, wear my belt around my waist, and the bottom of the barrel/holster still shows below my sweater, jacket, or polo type shirt. I...

Rosen Holsters, am I the only one that has had bad luck with them? I bought a tuckable model for a Kahr E9 that allows you to stuck your shirt in and that hides the handgun. I have a very good belt and I have tried every method I have heard of, including the Snake Oil Rosen sells, and all has...

For a number of years I have mentioned a Colt Police Positive I own named the "Door Stop." People thought I called it this as it would stop people from coming in my door. Wrong! I called this gun that name as it looked like one of those cast iron irons people use to keep the door open. I have...

This information is part of what I sent to Stephen A. Camp in an E-mail: I went to the hospital today for routine tests and after they were done I decided to play hooky. I went shooting with the infamous "Gary B." Gary B has just finished the handgun course required for CCWs in Michigan. I wish...

What do our contributors know about a new model Springfield Arms 1911A1? The pistol is a Government Model with a flat finish, beavertail, Novak sights, extended safety and slide release, solid recoil spring rod, and checkered cocobolo grips. I saw one Saturday and was very impressed. The...

I have three and they are all top shelve and reliable. Here are my current choices and calibers: a Sig P226, Glock 19, and a Glock 27. Many that know me will say: "What, no Browning?" I don't know why but that may change. I feel comfortable with any well made handgun in 9mm or larger. How...

When the moderator transfered this question here it didn't transfer. The answer is insure the weapon is unloaded. Retract the slide to the point the indicated in the manual. I think it is were the one end of the slide stop is just past the beginning of the barrel. Then take a small rubber or...

Hello, I took my new and unfired P32 to the range today for its christening. Guess what? At the 28 round mark it failed to cock and it still doesn't work! Has this happened to anyone else? I cleaned it prior to going today and everything seemed normal. I am at a loss. Regards, Richard.

Am I confused? I own and enjoy an East German Makarov in 9x18mm. My problem is I don't know where it fits as a pistol. Yes, it is a nice pistol but I own smaller and lighter 9x19mm pistols which are better for self-protection. It is cheaper for me to reload 9x19mm ammo than to buy surplus...

1. Have you ever noticed that old guys always get the blame? ShallCarry (Rich) has been soiling my handguns for over one year and now he cracks on me for dirtying one "STINKING LITTLE KEL-TEC 32!" Seriously, I didn't think I would...

I am interested in 223 and or 22 Long Rifle varieties. What do any of you have to say about these rifles? How accurate are they, how do they shoot, and did you have any problems with them? Thanks in advance and regards, Richard.

I know you can switch Glock 19 barrels into a Glock 23 and it will work but do Glock 23 barrels work and function in a Glock 27? Try and say that 10 times fast. Thanks for any responses. Regards, Richard.

A friend has one and I am the only one to shoot it. I put 21 rounds through it and experienced a few jams. I later read that Kahr says to put 200 rounds through it before thinking it is reliable. Is it worth $300.00? Regards, Richard.
