I can't find any mention of it on Kahr's website. I found a couple of old threads here, but no real answers. Is it just a lighter, smoother trigger or is there more to it. Has anyone had the one of the "custom carry packages" done on their Kahr? If so, how much difference does the trigger job...

I've been concentrating on these two at the range. If I slow down and get a look at my sights for each shot, I get acceptable (to me) groups where I want them. If I fire at the rate I would like to have, I'm kind of all over the place. From 7-10 yds they are still in the silhouette, but could...

Not sure if this is the right place for this, mods feel free to move it if it should be in feedback or someplace else. How do you generally pay a private seller for a gun bought off this forum? I am a very trusting person, but it would make me very nervous just sending a check for many hundreds...

In light of all the threads about how often you clean your gun, I was curious to see how rigorously others clean their firearms. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if I'm just going overboard. It usually takes me about an hour or so to clean a pistol. I go through a ton of q-tips patches and...

What ammo have you had failure to feed, fire or eject with? What was the cause of the failure? What ammo (specifically SD ammo) has run perfect for you; and have you shot a lot of it? I guess I should add: The only ammo I've had problems with is Sellier & Bellot (multiple failure to eject due...

Am I confused as to how a casing is extracted and the slide cycles? I was looking at Para's "catalog" and noticed a little blurb about it's PXT technology. Instead of summarizing I'll quote: There's a little picture of a casing with a chunk of the rim ripped off. To rip that chunk out, the...

Anyone shot all three? Ballistically the 9mm +P and .357 sig look about the same (bullet weight and velocity). Is there a big difference in recoil or accuracy - The .357 sig is supposed to have a real flat trajectory, I've heard. How does 9mm +P feel compared to plain ol' 9mm as far as...

I have a S&W 5906. Shot it outside this weekend (temp was at or just below 0 with a healthy wind-chill). The gun hasn't ever had a malfunction except one time at the range had 3 failure to eject with Sellier & Bellot over the course of < 50 rounds. I may need a new ejector, but I think this is...

Looking for some good ideas for what to use or how to make fun, cheap, reusable (can take dozens to hundreds of rounds) reactive targets. I'd like to set up some targets that move or fall or do something when hit. I love the sound of bullets hitting steel, but am a little concerned about safety...

I am not generally a revolver guy, so forgive me if I don't know the name of the part I'm talking about. I have a S&W 18-2. When I got it , there seemed to be no problems with any parts. I have only shot it once (fired about 36 rounds I think) and had no problems. I took it out the other day...

Does anyone know of a small gun safe heater that can be used to keep humidity down? I have a 1.2 cuft safe by a wall and it stays cold (~55 F) inside because its very cold outside. Looked at goldenrod dehumidifiers and the smallest I saw was for ~100 cubic ft. Is there anything out there for...

Handgun - check Glock – check 1911 – check Sig – check 10 mm – check .22 – check Shotgun – check Squirrel rifle – check Other stuff you carry – check Exotic guns – check Futuristic guns – check Mini14 – check Favorite handgun – check Revolver – check Rifle – check Never seen a picture of a Hi...

What are some good choices for really small autos. I've shot the sub-compact Glock in a .40 and wasn't crazy about it, but size, weight and quality may make this a likely candidate for a CCW (probably in a 9mm). Any other recommendations for similar size and weight pieces (in a 9mm or .45)?

I’ve had a couple of conversations recently with some relatives and wife about CCW and my intention to get a permit in the near future. I guess the consensus is “you should not carry a gun, because blah, blah, blah (insert some B.S. reason that just boils down to: “I just don’t like the idea of...

Can .22 shorts and mini-mags be fired out of a S&W 18 (-2)? Probably a dumb question, but thought I should make sure.

I just received an 18-2 from a quasi-relative. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me how to find the year of manufacture and approximate value. I know these questions irritate a lot of people, because it suggests laziness and lack of research, but I have looked on quite a few auction...

I bought a pistol (SIG 229, Thanks Wildalaska! :cool:) about a month ago. I jumped through the necessary hoops and filled out my application for Permit to Purchase a Handgun (I believe this is the same as a Transferee Permit) over three weeks ago. As far as I can tell from reading Minnesota...

What exactly makes a gun a 1911? I know what they look like and could pick one out of a line-up, I am somewhat familiar with them, but what are the absolute defining characteristics? I apologize if this has been answered in other posts, but when I search I only find a couple of threads on this...

Just bought my first new pistol, a Sig 229 Equinox (and am anxiously awaiting it's arrival); Are Sigs usually good to go out of the box? I've read about people having various problems with feeding etc. during the first few hundred rounds or so with some new handguns. Is this for real, and if...
