The American Handgunner has an article on Internal Lock issues. The writer ,Charles Petty ,refers to Internet forums ,saying they are a great source of disinformation. Does he mean like gunrag disinformation? Maybe he means like providing disinformation in a gunrag article at the behest of an...

I did a search and found some info on the 645 ,but not alot. I've been offered a beat up example as a project gun. Are these 645's accurate ,or just "Combat" accurate? How do they hold up under alot of range use? Are parts a problem? Any problems besides the phillips head screw holding the ambi...

I just finished reading a thread on another board. In this thread a guy who paid about $2000 for two 1911's ,and had sent them back because of malfunctions , is gushing like a schoolgirl praising the manufacturer. He names a particular employee ,who has appeared in numerous threads on the...

I understand this pistol is discontinued ,does anyone know why? Is this model "drop safe"? Does it have a firing pin safety? The reason I ask ,we saw a memo some time ago of a CA LEO who dropped his P220 ,which discharged when it landed on it's hammer ,killing him. Last question ,is $595 LNIB...

I've got a S&W 4516-3 that I want to trade today for a full size 9mm. The models I'm considering are ,Beretta 92FS Brigadier ,HK USPF 9mm ,S&W 5943 ,and Sig 226. All the guns I'm looking at are used ,except for the USP. This gun is for range fun ,not carry. What say you ?

I have been trying to get more information on this subject. Years ago when my partner and I were carrying Model 19's ,we had a conversation with a S&W instructor. We were asking about the durability of the 19 shooting various 357 loads. He told us we should simply run 10% 158 grain and the guns...

Anyone else a fan of the Model 66 3" barrel? I have been carrying mine daily since I qualified with it last month. I got the bug for one about 18 months ago when I saw one of DHarts beautiful photos. I found mine in January at an area gunshow. It's a 66-4. It has a case hardened combat hammer...

What can you guys tell me about this revolver. I picked it up today in a swap at a Gunshow. Trigger is great. It's a Performance Center revolver. Any info is appreciated. Regards 18DAI.

I know I'm getting old ,but I do have more disposable income than when I was young. Does S&W not want my money? Anybody here impressed with anything they have rolled out at SHOT?

Anybody know of a holster in left hand for S&W 4506? I'm getting to the point where a shoulder holster might suffice. Yes I looked at the Safarilands on Ebay ,but they are duty holsters ,I need a pancake or paddle. Do you 4506 owners go the custom route? Thanks in advance. Regards 18DAI.
