On my Doublestar M4 after firing and releasing the trigger there is a large clunk that can be heard and felt through the trigger. It doesn't do it when dry-firing, only when shooting live ammunition where the bolt is cycling. Is there some part internally that is hanging up or is this normal in...

I've been bit bad recently with the revolver bug and there is (or at least was) an old S&W at one of my local shops chambered in 32 which looked like a fun shooter but the lockup on it was a little sloppy. Before getting this S&W Model 15 I thought I knew what a tight lockup was but I stand...

Picked up this S&W Model 15-4 from one of my local shops this afternoon. There's a decent amount of holster wear on the edges (this gun was a police trade-in) but the lock-up is still really tight and the trigger is as smooth as you could want. I got it in hopes that my grandmother can shoot it...

Over Easter weekend I was visiting with my grandparents and my grandmother (who is 80) told me she wanted a handgun to protect herself at home. I've been doing some research to find a light recoiling gun she can use to defend herself and I'm not coming up with much. I thought a 22mag...

What do you guys think of these folding grip/holsters that NAA offers for their mini-revolvers? They make the gun look like a pocket knife in your pocket and they give you a much larger grip to use when shooting the gun. They also cover up the trigger as an added bonus (although not remotely...

A 22 Magnum that is... :D Being a huge fan of pocket guns, I've been wanting one of these little guys as a backup/pocket gun ever since I learned about them. The NAA PUG is a single action mini-revolver which holds 5 rounds of 22 Magnum. The one I got is the "D" model, which means it has a...

Size-wise, with the flush fit magazine on the Glock 29, how do the two baby Glocks compare? I like my Glock 26OD a lot and I've been thinking of adding a 10mm to the collection. I just want to know if it is roughly the same size as the 29 when you use the flush mag rather than the extended...

I've been wanting a CZ P01 ever since I first held one. For some reason every time I went to the shop with the intention of buying one I ended up coming home with something else. Well I finally followed through and actually came home with the CZ this time. I was quite impressed by all the stuff...

I've been looking at getting one of these and was wondering if anyone else here on TFL has any experience with it. It's apparently based on the Witness/CZ line. Centerfire has them for $349. If they shoot well it looks like a pretty good deal. I haven't had a single malfunction from any of my...

So I picked up this 3" SP101 in the hopes of finally getting my girlfriend a gun she could use to protect herself and she can only pull the trigger double-action once before her finger muscle gives out. What can I do to lighten up the double-action trigger pull on this Ruger while still...

I went into my local gun shop today because it was pay day and I wanted to see what a quick look through the used cases might turn up. I was looking for a nice older Smith & Wesson to round out my collection, but I saw this Ruger SP101 in 357 Magnum with the 3" barrel and couldn't say no. Lock...

In the event that anyone was on the lookout for a 3" nickel S&W model 24 or 25 I just got a flier from CDNN stating they have both for sale for $599 each. The 24 is the 44spl and the 25 is the 45acp model. I've been on the lookout for a 3" Smith but I'm not particularly interested in the 44spl...

Show Me Your Top-Breaks! I have a soft spot for break-top revolvers. I did a search and didn't see a break-top picture thread so I thought one would be appropriate. Let's see those classics. :D

I picked this one up from Centerfire Systems for $359. Not a bad deal I don't think. The sights are going to take some practice but the grip feels amazing. Capacity is 15+1 rounds of 9mm. I'm hoping to hit the range tomorrow and give it a shake down. We'll see how it goes from there. The trigger...

It finally arrived: Ended up getting it for $269. I had almost forgotten about it until my dealer called me up last night. The magazine came with the extended finger rest installed but the flush base plate was in the box. I swapped them out because I find the extended finger rests tend to...

I just got my new grips for my RIA compact from Sarge today. Took about 5 mins to install the new grip bushings and get them installed. Fit is perfect, it looks like they were custom built to fit my gun. They make a world of difference in both the appearance of the gun and the feel. I can't say...

I've been wanting a 9mm 1911 for quite some time but it seems like there aren't a lot of choices out there. Rock Island Armory has been talking about a 9mm model for a while now but I haven't seen a definite date on it yet. The other options out there are pretty expensive. The Springfield isn't...

I've been looking awfully hard at the STI LS9. I want a 9mm 1911 real bad and this one scratches both the itch for a 9mm 1911 and the itch for one I can carry. Does anyone have one of these or ever shot one? I've never even handled a STI gun before but I've always been a fan of their designs, I...

I've had money down on a Ruger LCP for the past 5 months now and I finally got tired of waiting. I went to the gun store today to get my deposit back. Since I was already in the store I decided to do a quick look over the inventory and see what all they had. I was fondling a CZ P01 and was about...

I hadn't until today: http://www.fordsguns.com/index-gun58.htm I don't know why but I think the P7 actually pulls it off. I wouldn't be ashamed to own it; I just wouldn't want to have to pay to have it done. :p
