Yesterday, as I was looking at a gun dealer's website in Long Island, there was an area which discussed how to obtain a pistol permit in NY. I don't live there, but read anyway. It appears that a rifle is fairly easy. Drivers license, and NICS and away you go. They do say it may take 4 days...

Hello all, I have a SR1911 that when I remove the slide, and place the hammer in the down, or unloaded of spring pressure position, has about 1/8" of play before I feel spring pressure, when attempting to cock the hammer. This play is only evident with the slide removed. When the slide is on, it...

Hello all, last year, I purchased a Ruger GP100 in 22lr. Outside of what I mainly like about it, I thought it would have the added benefit of eating the ammo my semi's won't. Anyway, last year, I ran about 1800 rounds thru it, and I was never very impressed with either it's accuracy, or my...

Hello All, Happy Easter to those who celebrate!!! Below is a re-post from a different site. I am not getting enough insight from them. I am having the darndest time. Keep in mind, I am using Kimber top and bottom ends. I have mic'ed them out, and slide/frame clearance is .0065 to .0075 (...

Hello all. Considering a move from NJ to PA. With my NJ fid, I can transport my guns to/from the FFL or the target range. The law is silent on moving, except I need to notify/surrender my fid 5 days after moving. I have researched, and found that PA appears to be as strict as NJ in regards to...

Hello all, I am curious, based on the fact that I see them "blowing out" the polymer 80 v1.5 ( I am not really sure of the difference between the original and v1.5, unless they fixed the items, such as having to shim areas with a credit card and so on) for as little as 59 dollars. Just a few...

Hello all, I was cleaning my Ruger 1911 ( deep clean) and I started to study parts of it. I have a new Remington spur hammer, which I eyed up next to the factory Ruger hammer. I took the hammer pin, and placed it thru both hammers so they could align as close as possible. In lining them up...

Hello all, does anyone know an accurate way to determine how many HK VP9's were produced? I am considering a project, and need accurate numbers to develop an economic forecast. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate!!!!!! Happy Holidays to those who don't!!! Thank you Rich

Hello all, I have just purchased a Walther PPK/S, in 22lr. I am actually pleasantly surprised on it's accuracy and how well it cycles. It easily ate all ammo I fed it ( except Agulia 40g CPRN) which I am wondering if it is a bad batch, or if the cold temperature which was 27 or so contributed to...

Hello all, I was wondering if there are methods to make a pistol barrel more accurate by some sort of machining. I have a 22 conversion kit which I like it's function, but not it's accuracy. Is there any way to make the barrel more accurate? If not, is it possible to bore out the current 22...

Hello all, I am looking at a 2009 CZ 75 compact. It looks more like the current P-06, except it has a safety, not a decocker. It is a 40sw, which is why I think I should negotiate a bit. The condition is very good to excellent. I see no blemishes, and the OD of the barrel shows very little...

CZ Contact.. What is the trick? This is Resolved properly Hello all, I have spent almost a month now attempting to get someone at CZ either return an email or a VM. I have called 9 times, and spoke with customer service 2 times, and on both occasions they transferred me to an extension, that...

Hello all, after a few months of experiments, I was able to fit this slide to my Kimber 45 without having to modify my frame. I will now find sights and fit a barrel. My question now is, can anyone help identify the needed sights for this slide. I bought this, being told it was Remington...

Hello all, a few months ago, I bought a GP100 revolver in 22lr. I shoot a lot of target and a ton of 22lr. I am not flinching. 22 barely makes noise and does not recoil. I have noticed now thru several outings that I am much more accurate in DA. I can't understand as the DA trigger is heavier...

Hello, being born in the early 60's, I grew up watching war movies. My mom. dad, aunts and uncles continually talked about WWII and how it affected their lives. They were a great generation indeed. There is no doubt in my mind that WWII helped shape their lives. Their continual war stories...

Hello all, if anyone has both, or access to both, and a micrometer or caliper, would you be so kind as to measure the outside diameter of the barrels and report the OD ? I am considering buying one if I can occasionally change the caliber. I am aware that the barrel is a slight interference...

Hello, I have just picked up a CZ 75D Compact. I wanted something a little lighter and smaller than my 75 SP01, (which I love, but man is it big and heavy) in case I move from this restrictive state and want to carry. Anyway, weighing in at 24oz, I take my new compact to the range, and took...

Hello all, I am hoping that someone with experience can help me with these questions. I have a Ruger GP100 in .22lr, that I have been "tuning". In an effort to lower trigger pull effort, I installed a Wolff spring kit. For purpose of this question, I will focus only on the hammer spring...

Hello all, I have just seen the Naked 1911 from Cabot. I once handled the American Joe, which is very nice, but wow is it expensive. My LGS has an American Joe for 7500. Racking the slide let you know that there was some effort put into this gun. It was very smooth, but to be honest, my cheapo...

Hello all, does anyone have any real experience with quality of either of these firearms? It appears the the 92FS is made in Italy, and the 92FS Inox ( Stainless) is made in the good old USA!!! The price is similar ( the Inox is 100 dollars more) which when factoring in more expensive stainless...
