    Gun sights for the Detective Special?

    I know this sounds odd, but my eyes aren't as good as they used to be and I'd like something that I can see. I've looked around on the Internet and don't see this addressed. Are there any gun sights for the DS anywhere? Thank you. Laura

    Gun Sights - Novak vs Wilson's Combat?

    Hello, I have a standard 92FS and I'm about to have the sights changed - it's Inox and I hate the small red sights which are useless. I'm thinking of the green fiber optic namely Wilson Combat or Novak. Can anyone that used one or the other chime in? Thank you. Laura

    Sig P938 questions

    I'm considering picking up the Extreme at some point for carry and range. Where do folks that own this gun get the mags? I'm finding it hard to locate seven rounders easily. Thank you. Laura

    Walther PPS question

    Hello, I went by a local shop this morning and handled both the PPS 9mm and the Shield. Both felt similar but I noticed the barrel length on the Walther to be slightly longer and I liked the look and feel of the Walther more. I have Pachmayr Tactical Grips on all my Glocks - I just like the...

    Shipping guns via Gun Shop?

    Quick question, when you want to ship guns out for work via the local gun shop rather than directly using FedEx or UPS, you pay the shop a fee for the shipping service. When the work is done and the gunsmith returns the firearm to the shop, do you pay the shop again to have the guns transferred...

    The Shield 9mm and mags

    Hi folks, Question for those that have the gun; I'm interested in possibly acquiring the 9mm version, but I was watching Youtube to see a review by another lady shooter, and a comment for made the 7 round flush mag was harder to insert than the 8 round with the extension. Is this the case for...

    GP100 loose screw?

    Has anyone experienced this with their gun. I'm looking at my GP and just by the cylinder release, I see a long screw protruding out from the slide. Normally these guns are supposed to be built like tanks but this is new. I don't have this issue with my SP.

    Texturing opinions....

    Hi people, I'm sending my three Glocks over the weekend to Cold Bore Customs for grip reduction with stipple. Can't decide between the carry texture vs the bark texture - both of which appeal. I'd like something comfortable but easy to grip and this would not be IWB...

    Walther PPS news?

    My gun shop is now advertising the Walther with two mags. From all that I've read online, folks always said the advantage of the Shield was that it sold with two mags to the Walther's one. Did the company finally get the news flash about the cost of their spare mags? Does anyone know if this is...

    Buying a used gun....

    A local shop has a S&W 3913 for sale. I've always wanted one but I've been looking all morning for mags, and all the main stores I've been looking at, including S&W, and don't have any in stock. I could go on Ebay but I'm not in the mood to bid and be out bid trying to buy them. I just want to...

    I'm looking for 10 round mags cheaper than what BUSA sells for the Beretta 92FS. Does anyone use these mags? How do they work in your gun? Thank you. Laura

    Price of a H&K compact used?

    I got a Glock 19 off a guy last Friday, it was like new, two high caps. I paid $740 which is normal in my state through a private buyer. Much to my surprise, days later he had a two tone mint condition new USP compact 9mm for $1,800.00. Is it just me or is this a tad excessive? For myself, it's...

    Small revolvers you can actually use.......

    Here's the question, everyone brags about their J frame or other small frame revolvers, that they "carry often" yet (most, if not all) shoot little...those that claim to shoot it frequently speak of "feeling it" in the hands after extended use....so I'm curious, what small revolver do folks own...

    Sig 229 in .357?

    Anyone have this gun? I was considering getting this in the Sig 239 but I think the 229 in this caliber would be better for recoil. I have a 228 and I love the feel and look of the gun, so I'm thinking of trying it's twin in a different caliber, not quite a .40 but fun to shoot. Appreciate any...

    Lightening the trigger....

    I've got a Sig 228 and I've been wanting to get this worked on for a while (trigger and night sights). The trigger is an absolute bear and I'd like to significantly lighten it. I'm debating between sending it to the Sig Shop in NH or Gray's Guns. I'm curious if anyone has sent their gun to Sig...

    S&W 686 3" standard or deluxe?

    Can anyone tell me if there's any real difference between these guns or if it's just the difference of polishing the gun up and the grip? Thank you. Laura

    Firearm insurance?

    I'm a life member of the NRA and I've got a number of guns in my collection (plan to buy more as well). I've been nagged in the past by family to get insurance for the guns. I can't imagine going out with the entire collection to get them appraised....what does everyone do for their guns...

    Best Hard Chrome finishing company?

    Hello, I've got a Sig 228 that I'd like to have the slide and barrel only hard chromed. Years ago I had a wonderful company to turn to with Tripp but they're no longer in the business of gun finishes. Who does the best job at the best prices for Hard Chrome now? Thank you. Laura
