Took the red dot off my buckmark for a while. The rear adj sights are pretty good, but I'm having a hard time seeing the front (black) sight. I'm thinking of putting something more visible on it like Hi-viz, but can I replace only the front sight? Any reccomendations for good target sights...

After shooting my sig 229 and deciding its a keeper (duh) I went holster hunting. After rejecting a few different paddles because they just don't hold close enough, I selected a Galco Fletch belt holster w/ thumbreak. Fits real tight to the body and looks like high quality leather and sticthing...

I actually went down to my local gun shop to check out some HK police trade ins they had. (USP fs DAO $495 w/nite sites) However I didn't like the grip or the DAO trigger much, but there was this nice 229 .40 right next to it. Came w/ 3 10 rnd mags and sig nite sights for $550. Great trigger and...

I have a winchester 1300 waterfowl special w/ a 30" rib barrel and 5 shot magazine. I want to get a defender barrel for it. Do I need to get a 5-shot defender barrel or can I use an 8 shot defender bbl if I get a magazine extender? Thanks. I think I asked this before but it got muddled up w/...

I really like glocks. I like the fact that they are designed w/ no aesthetic consideration whatsoever, just to shoot. However, I have found the trigger difficult to master. My grouping is very inconsistent and I had a tendency to shoot low and left. Well, I think I figured out why and maybe this...

Which do you think is better for small hands, especially short stubby fingers. Other polymer full size .40 suggestions appreciated, but I already have a Glock 22 and SW99. Does the sig pro have a short trigger option like the 239?

I just moved into my new house (sharing w/ two guys) and I can't beleive I can shoot off my back porch! I went to check out the place last week and I was thinking It would be great if I could shoot in the back yard, but I hadn't really thought that much about it. The property borders 100 acres...

Sorry if this is a duplicate, but it is a little diff from the other thread. I have a 1300 waterfowl w/ a five shot magazine. If I get a magazine tube extension, do I still need the 5-shot defender barrel or can I use the 8 shot barrel that has the ring nearer to the end of the barrel? Thanks.

The local news (wvny 22) had a little clip of the VT national guard troops being welcomed home last nite. The soldiers were returning from border duty. They were shown standing at ease in formation in fatigues. They were being adressed by the governor and the commanding General of the VT guard...

I read a few posts on proper mounting and found them quite helpful, but I need a little clarification. It was mentioned that the support hand should pull in towards the shoulder slightly. How about the trigger hand? Should one pull against the "grip?" as well? Should the elbow be straight out...

Got a shotgun today! Had an itch I had to scratch. Got a great deal on a Winchester 1300 used for $159 in great condition. Has a really long barrel and only the mod choke tube. I think the barrell is 28" though it said 30" on the tag. Has a really nice stock w/ striped wood and says waterfowl...

Probably getting a .40 Hipower MKIII soon. I've always wanted a .40 w/ a six inch barrel (no, not a wheelgun). Has anybody shot A BHP w/ an extended barrel? Does it make enough difference to justify the $300 + for bbl and install? Does it screw up the balance? Anyone reccomend a better platform...

I have usually found these w/ no problem at almost any shop. i went to three local shops this week and nobody had any. I asked and the salespeople said they have no call for it. I find this hard to believe. From what I have read and from my own testing I believe this to be the most effective...

I was looking at more conventional full size .40's and this caught my eye at the shop. The SA trigger is incredibly light and crisp! The balance and grip ergonomics are nice too. Sights are fairly basic adj, but well placed on the pistol. I think I like it!! Has anybody shot one of these? Is it...

Looking for a new toy. Must be full size, steel, at least 4.5"bbl, DA/SA, .40 cal. Which of these three? Price factors in a little, but accuracy, reliabliity? I know I nee to check them out and see which feels best.

Had a great session at my outdoor range today and thought I'd let you know my impressions of the cheapest factory .44 mag ammo I could find. I got some CCI Blazer 240gr HP aluminum case .44 mag from natchesz (sp?) shooting supply for 11.97 per 50 rnds. First I did some two hand single...

I'm looking for a .308 semi auto. It will be my one rifle. I'm looking for something for bear defense, target shooting, and home (rural) defense. I've settled on a BAR liteweight, a VEPR carbine, or a M!A scout model. I'm leaning towards the BAR, but I wish it had a higher mag capacity. Anybody...

I've been trying to get more mags for my Browning Buckmark micro (4"bbl). I can't find one that fits. The ones i've bought have a wider plate at the bottom of the mag that won't fit in my mag well. My mags are the same width all the way through. Someone told me it is a "challenger" model, but it...

I have recently gotten interested in one of these but can't decide on model. What are the main differences between VEPR I and VEPR II? I can't see what accounts for the mark II being at least half a pound heavier than the mark I. Are there any models in .308 that have a shorter bbl than 20"...

Anybody shot one of these? In .40? Looks interesting. Is the grip bigger or smaller than a 96?
