I'm thinking I'd like a CT LG-437 for my PM40 but I'm wondering if anybody here has any personal experience with this match-up? Specifically with the PM40 being such a handful of recoil does the front activation part get in the way? Effect control? Cause any other difficulties?

I couldn't remember if I posted this holster here before but a few months ago I had Nick Mathews make me a new holster for my PM40. I've acquired a few Nicks holsters over the years and have always been very happy. This is actually replacing a Milt Sparks VM2 that just rode too high for my...

Three months ago I decided that since this one of the last pistols that I will likely ever buy (unless I win the lotto;)) that it deserves fancy new clothes. The pistol is a Compact CDP with an STI short trigger and Esmeralda's cocobolo slim grips. The Holster and is TT-Gunleather Mike's Special...

My hands are a bit on the small side and my fingers are a bit stubby so I've made some changes to my new Kimber Compact CDP. First I installed an STI short trigger. I've always used Cylinder & Slide short triggers in the past but this time I wanted pretravel adjustment tabs and that left STI as...

It took a year long search but I finally have my new Kimber Compact CDP. I'll take some better photos tomorrow but this was the best I could do tonight. The Kimber is the only CCO format alloy framed 1911 available in the PRK and I think she'll do fine.

I've been in the market for a companion for my bug out bag (BOB) and thought I'd give this product a try. But before I go further and give my 1st impressions let me share my requirements. This is a companion for my bug out bag should I have to abandon my home in a Katrina type situation. No...

Most non-sports channel have a prohibition on commercials promoting firearms ownership and even fair and balanced Fox News has never been all that friendly to the 2nd Amendment. But today I say a Henry Rifles commercial on during O'Reilly. I was just surprised. Another reason to watch Fox. :D

I wasn't going to unveil her yet because I'm still waiting on the Vltor EMOD stock and rail ladders but what the heck why not. The Upper is an AR15Performance 6.8 Xtreme. This particular one was ordered with a limited availability option Lothar chrome lined 1 in 11.25 polygonal twist barrel. The...

I managed to order a Bravo Company 16" mid-length upper today. As hard as these things are to come by I almost feel like I won the lotto. :D Anyway I won't have it for a week and I'm wondering what kind of accuracy I can expect. I keep hearing raves about the quality and reliability of their...

The 9th Circuit just ruled. So far this just applies to the western states but I expect it to be cited as precedent in other cases soon enough. I'll leave it to the legal beagles to do a full analysis.

I can't afford any more rifles this year but I'm just curious about this one. Gun Tests just compared the Kimber 84 Montana, the Sako Model 85, and the Ruger Fronter all in 338 Federal. The little sub 5lb Kimber beat out the other two, but what surprised me the most was they claimed that recoil...

I didn't see this posted anywhere so I'll take a crack at it. Please do not turn this into a bashing thread or get it locked by making it political. We all need to be pulling together right now. Okay on the the subject at hand... The NRA has three life membership specials going on. The first...

My new T3 Lite in 30-06. I had planned to buy a new scope for her but since I blew all of my scope money on a Bushnell Elite 4200 1.25-4x24 for my upcoming 6.8 SPC AR15 I decided to punt and use a 3-9x40 Nikon Team Primos that I already had laying around. That's ok with me because it's a very...

I just picked up a stag Model 2 a couple of weeks ago but all that did was wet my appetite for a project. Well I decided that I wanted a laser accurate mid-length carbine for my first build. So today I ordered a Adco's Designated Marksman M4 upper. That will give me two 16" AR15s and a couple of...

I've been getting back into AR15s lately with the purchase of a Stag Model 2 (M4 style carbine) and now I'm thinking about putting together a designated marksman rifle type rifle. Something to grab when I need a bit more accuracy than the carbine without reaching for my bolt action varmint rifle...

My latest build includes a solid walnut Boyd's Ross Thumbhole stock, Ruger receiver, and a 19" Rimfire Technologies Quantum barrel. The Bolt is a blackened and flamed R/T, and the trigger group is a Kidd two stage set for their recommended 14oz. I'm experimenting with the Simmons Prohunter...

For a complete rifle any thoughts on which is a better choice? The semi local shop carries both. My plan is to buy one complete M4 style flattop carbine for now, and stick a couple of somebody's stripped lowers in a drawer and build those myself later. One as a full sized rifle and the other as...

I know most here appreciate a fine bit of custom work so I thought I'd share. I wanted a better trigger and a bit more accuracy from my decade old Mini so sent her off to GunDoc at Great West Gunsmithing for glass bedding, accurizing and barrel cryo, and a trigger job. Getting a bit more...

Any thoughts on the Romanian SKS. I'm in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia and the only SKSs that our commissars allow are ones without the grenade launcher attachment. It looks like the Romanian version will fit the bill without being butchered and Century claims that it is PRK legal. They...

"Looking for a good "sniper" rifle" Gawd I hate having to be PC :barf: but can we use a bit of common sense and use the term target rifle or varmint rifle or even tactical rifle? I'd just hate to one day turn on the news and hear a headline like... I'm sure the poster is a great guy but unless...
