    357...JSP Vs FMJ

    Hey all, I know that many loads exist from buffalo bore and double tap, but I haven't been able to find those loads. Fairly repressive state, can't really order online. For the purpose of this discussion, if you wanted to maximize the effect of the 357 against dangerous larger animals...

    Anyone have a bersa thunder and Walther ppk?

    Hey, Anyone have both of these? I know the ppk has a significantly smaller recoil spring and was curious why. These are similarly sized pistols. The bersa Thunder has a spring maybe twice as long! They both ran 100%

    Fort Smith ppr value

    Hey all, Picked up one of these locally. Really impressive fit and finish. Taking it out tomorrow. I've got to "clean house", depending on a number of factors. If I end up selling this, what could I expect in resale? It's brand new. Thanks!

    Sig p232 - will it run without slide catch lever spring?

    Just picked up a sig p232. Haven't shot it yet. Used gun from a local gun store. Field strip is easy if you are familiar with the ppk type. However, it is clearly missing the slide catch lever spring. It's an easy purchase from what I can tell, but all function seems to exist currently...

    Has anyone ever broken a recoil spring plug in a 1911?

    Full length guide rod system, shooting 200 to 300 rounds. No issues noted at the range chugged along fine. Got home to clean it, field stripped and noticed the plug had broken in three pieces. Two large pieces remain. Guessing the third was on the firing line. Odd. Switched to a gi...

    Long story short....how would I best go about desandifying / degrittifying the lcp after being lured by my toddler to chill in a sandbox and getting a swift ninja shovel full of sand down the jean pocket that contained elsiepea in a desantis nemesis?

    The 410 revolvers

    Have there been any documented self defense applications of the governor or the judge etc.? Since the advent of the tailor made self defense loads and some testing I did at under 21 feet with a judge a few years back I am curious about real world data. No trolling, I get the criticisms. I don't...

    Heard through the grape vine that they are making true stainless 1911s now, vs the hard chrome or nickel used in the past? Does anyone know if that is so? Scouring the web and finding nothing to that effect tends to make me think that perhaps this was a shotshow rumor...
