I just purchased two Sig Sauer P-238's from Bud's. One for me and one for my wife. There were a TON of options to choose from ranging from $441 to $799.99 and as far as I could determine, the only differences were cosmetic; ie. finish differences. I bought two that had and American Flag motif...

I received a GSG 1911 pistol as a Christmas gift. Really fun to shoot. I’m curious as to whether or not I should spend $75 and upgrade the pistol with a full length stainless guiderod, bushing and spring. Supposedly accuracy and reliability are enhanced. Just wondering if anyone on this forum...

Well doggone if Santa didn't climb down the chimney with this little rascal! I have a modest collection of stock (Colt, Springfield Armory, Kimber, Taurus and Magnum Research, not Les Baer, Les Brown, Wilson Combat) 1911 pistols in 45 and 40 S&W cal and have been wanting a 1911 22 lr for some...

Tulammo - I have some but am concerned that shooting it in my 45's might not be the best thing for my barrels. Is the concern valid?

I wanted to "spiff up" my Magnum Research 1911 with a custom coating. I did a little research and 60 miles away from my home was a company called IA Coatings (www.IAcoatings.com). The internet reviews were excellent so I drove in to town with my slide disassembled and ready for coating. The...

I am basically a shotgun shooter but over the years I've collected 23 pistols and have the opportunity to shoot them everyday off of my back porch. I am not a very good shot and I'm not that knowledgeable about pistols compared to many on this forum. I do reload both 45's and 40's and 99% of...

I have a couple of reasonably desirable firearms I'm trying to sell. One is a Remington 1100 Special Trap shotgun. The most logical place to sell this gun is www.trapshooters.com. However, they have a specific rule that says you can't post anything for sale until you've made 50 posts. Well, I...

I bought some weapons at an estate sale today and am interested in learning more about one of the pistols I bought. It is a cherry-mint Para Ordnance 14-40 LDA (Light Double Action) 40 S&W. Nice piece, but I don't know much about this gun and would appreciate any help I could get on such things...

Who among you have had autoloader slides cerakoted and how do you like it? Who do you trust to do the job right?

I might have an opportunity to sort through a collection of AR-15's and pick out a few to buy at a very reasonable price. I want get a couple of 6.8 SPC's. There are 15 of these in the collection and while I haven't seen them, I've seen pictures and descriptions. The two I'm looking hardest...

Yesterday I was having lunch with my team after a sporting clays tournament. One of our team members won a nice little Sig 9 mm and the topics of private sales came up. This individual and I are both CCL holders. He told me that if you hold a CCL and desire to sell one of your personal guns...

I have purchased a number of different AR500 steel plates in 3/8" and 1/2" thicknesses. They were advertised as "gong" targets but they dang sure don't make the sound that a gong makes! I watch Hickok45 on YouTube shoot his gong targets and all of them produce a very definite "gong" sound when...

I successfully reloaded 15-20 calibers of pistol and rifle cartridges over the last 30 years but have met my match. I just received 100 new, unprimed brass casings for 45 LC. Six of them wouldn't go into the shell holder for expanding the neck. After finally priming them, I put 9 grains of...

I have purchased (or assisted in the purchase) of a number of AR-15's from PSA in the last couple of years. All of them have had 16" barrels. A friend wants to put a 5.56 7 inch barrel on a lower he has. I was all set to help him order when I read the warning that I was responsible to be aware...

reason that you cannot shoot a 45 ACP (with moon clips) in a revolver chambered for a 45 Long Colt? Is it because the bullet would have to travel too far in the cylinder before it reached the barrel, thereby causing a dangerous, as well as inaccurate condition?

and I would like to buy a set of Hogue rubber grips for it. However, the more I research the various nuances of these Blackhawks, the more confused I get as to what Hogues would fit it. My revolver has a 4 digit serial number, three screws and an "XR3" (not "red") frame. The backstrap is 1/2"...

Can these be safely reloaded in a .380 ACP? Berry's doesn't offer light .38 cal bullets. I'm not worried about accuracy, just safety. Yeah or nay?

I have two of these little revolvers. Made between 1961 and 1968. MINT condition. The only mark on them is a very, very faint "cylinder line" caused by rotating the cylinder a few times. Original box. Blue. 38 S&W Caliber. Could someone give me an idea of what these might be worth? Hard...

Decided to buy my wife and me a couple of 42's for CCL. They shoot great and since my wife, for the first time, is asking "can we go shoot", I thought I'd get a die set and load up some ammo. Guns both digest factory ammo flawlessly. Well, I saved up some brass and bought a die set. I have...

Well, four days before I leave for north Texas I've got a serious issue with my 5.56 reloads. Probably something simple, but driving me crazy. I now have 3 5.56 AR-15's. I've been rocking along for months now without a hitch. 25.3 grains of H335 over a 55 grain Hornady V-Max. VERY accurate in...
