    Beretta M9A1 Holsters

    Just put a Beretta M9A1 on layaway today and am shopping around for holsters. From what I understand molded leather and kydex holsters for the regular M9 and 92FS will not work since the M9A1 has an accessory rail. I was told the holsters for the Beretta Vertex will work with the M9A1 but my...

    How Much Does Once Fired Brass Go For?

    I have a bunch of once fired pistol brass in 9mm, .40, and .38 special that I plan on listing in the for sale section. I don't reload so I have no use for it nor do I know what a reasonable price would be. Not looking to make a killing just want to give a fair price.

    Why Cant Companies Keep Up With Magazine Demands?

    Why is it that gun companies cant at least keep up with magazine demands? A magazine is a relatively simple thing, they should be able to pump them out by the thousands each day. Every website is out of stock and not accepting back orders. Hire extra workers, offer overtime incentives...

    Why are Sig Pistols So Thick?

    Why are Sig pistols so inherently thick? I picked up a Sig 232 a month or two ago and although it is a great gun, my SR9C carries just as easy if not easier than it. It's not just the 232, but pretty much every model Sig is a good deal thicker than competing guns from other companies. The...

    1911's Without Laser Engraving

    What stainless 1911's out there don't use laser engraving? Absolute worst thing a company can do to any pistol IMO. Reason I ask is because if down the road I want to refinish it, whether it be bead blasting, brushing, or high polish, the laser engraving will not hold up like actual engraving...

    Info On Carcano Bolt Action

    I just picked up a Carcano bolt action rifle for $60 from a friends grandparents and would like some info on it if anyone is familiar with them. I read mixed reviews on them but figured why the hell not for $60. How can I tell which round this rifle is chambered for? The rifle is marked...

    Anyone Concerned With QC Issues Coming Up?

    I was speaking to an older gentleman at the gun shop today and he was saying every time there is a gun or ammo shortage, gun and ammo companies pump out as much guns and ammo as fast as they can to keep up with demand, and as a result they lack on quality control. It makes a whole lot of...

    Beretta 92 Mag Springs

    I see on the Wolf springs website they have +5% and +10% power mag springs for the 15rd Beretta 92 mags. Can anyone recommend one over the other, or should I just try to get them strait from the factory?

    Sig 232 Hammer Reset Spring Question

    I detail stripped my 232 to give it a thorough clean and oil and noticed something when re-assembling that I never took note of before. If you look in the first picture, upon re-assembly I noticed it looks as if the hammer reset spring is supposed to ride in the notch in the hammer, but even...

    Springfield M1A Loaded vs M1A Scout Squad

    Looking to pick up an M1A soon but kind of torn between two models, the M1A Loaded and the smaller Scout Squad. Although I like the idea of the match stainless barrel and trigger on the Loaded version, this gun will be carried around the woods from time to time and I am leaning towards the...

    First Time Bead Blasting - Advice Needed

    I recently picked up a used Sig 232 in stainless and want to refinish the gun. Before I bead blast the gun I plan on going over it with some 800-1000 grit wet dry to get out any tooling marks left over from the factory. I have a good amount of experience with taking scratches out of stainless...

    Sig Repair Service and Charges

    When you return a firearm to Sig for repair that is not under warranty, do they send you a bill after the fact or do they charge you before the whole repair process starts? I would call them but they are not open on the weekends.

    Refinishing Stainless Slide

    I got a good deal on a Sig 232 but for some reason someone removed the bead blasting inbetween the slide serrations on the right side of the slide while the left has the factory bead blast. Would Sig refinish the slide to original factory condition for me? Am I better off finding a local...

    Chambering A Round By Hand, Bad for Extractor?

    Recently I have been noticing bullet setback with my Sig 232 and figured chambering the first round by hand with the slide locked back would minimize this. Upon further research I noticed some say this puts excess wear on the extractor since it has to slide over the back of the case? I read this...

    Sig 232 .380 Bullet Setback

    I just got a Sig 232 stainless and noticed that the Speer Gold Dots after a few chamberings are having noticeable bullet setback. I know bullet setback is inevitable but it seems to be happening quicker than most other pistols I have owned, maybe because the Sig 232 is blowback? Could it...

    Straying Away Fom the J Frame Snubs

    I carried a S&W J frame daily for over 3 years, one was a 3" model 60 in .357 with adjustable sights, the other was a DAO 640 in .38 special. I no longer own the model 60 and recently sold the 640 to put towards a Sig 232 in .380. There's a few reasons why I sold all my J frames. The main...

    S&W, Ruger, or Sig 1911's?

    I eventually want to get a 1911 and have limited choices since I live in Massachusetts. We cant buy new Springfields or Colt's because they refuse to jump through Massachusetts hoops to get handguns approved. My best choices are the Ruger 1911, one of the S&W 1911's or the Sig 1911. If you had...

    Can You Sell Once Fired Brass?

    I was wondering if there was any place to sell once fired brass? I have a bunch of 9mm, .40, and .38 brass and I was hoping to get into reloading but I need to clear some space and right now I don't see reloading equipment in the near future?

    Price Check on S&W 19 2.5"

    A buddy of mine may trade me his blued S&W 19 with 2.5". It has honest holster wear since it was his grandfathers backup/off duty gun but it locks up tight, shows no signs of abuse, and has a buttery smooth trigger. Does not appear to have been shot very much either. Ballpark about how much are...
