Am I shimming the trigger/hammer incorrectly? Basically, I have the problem that if I pull the trigger to the LEFT while firing, I get a smooth trigger pull, pulling to the right while firing I get a "bind" at the end of the travel because of the trigger moving the hand around. Maybe I bent...

Americans take heed too. I try to inform those around me that sucky things happened in Australia and it's going the same route here. However, a few things were different - antis (and irrational morons) here faced different challenges - for example, Australia didn't have to resort to suing gun...

I am fairly sure my Kimber compact has premature slide lockback. It happened while firing single-handed point-shooting - no WAY I could even REACH it to nudge it. What's the ideal for the slide lock? With the recoil assembly/barrel removed, I can align everything, push in a loaded mag, and...

Have to ignore the "cold dead fingers" crowd here. I'm serious. Advanced triple-tap convenience liquor store hold-up-cum-IPSC training just aren't modern or up to date. What I suggest "Surviving unexpected dynamic entry by guys in ski-masks". It's specifically tailored to gunowners. Many...

I have a near-new SS Kimber Compact that was sometimes failing to feed. A guy at the range, thinking it was hanging up on the feed lips, VERY lightly oiled/wiped my mags' inner lips with CLP, and the problem went away (I'm fairly sure it's gone, it had been happening a lot before and then went...

Yeah, I know that I didn't post originally of the problem; but I had a new Kimber compact that worked perfectly for first 150 rounds, then decided to start failing to feed chronically on the next 150. Happened on both original "shooting star" that came with it, and the brand new pair of...

Today I fondled a Kimber compact stainless, and the price was right - however I want to know the extents to which I can avoid buying a "lemon" (despite the fact that the factory/a smith could probably fix it). One thing I noticed, when comparing it to a pro carry they also had, was that the...

Consider my perspective, I'm coming from a Glock model 30. Reasons: Get to stick with 45acp, and can (safely) shoot lead reloads. The 1911s are slimmer, I hope for it to be an "in-between" between a G30 and a J-frame snubby. (I'm a big guy, the weight isn't an issue, big thing is thickness...

This 649 J-frame's trigger is too nasty, I am taking it to a Smith (great reputation, I've met IPSC shooters that brag that their guns were worked on by him). He gave the option of lightening the trigger, and I have a decision to make. This piece is to be used with a barami hip-grip (no...

I fear the intentions of those who we need in the RKBA fight. THIS IS NOT AN ACCUSATION - I AM AN NRA MEMBER (and have signed up others free). I just fear what a lot of orgs/companies may find to be in their own best interests. We've seen how the mag ban helped nullify the difference between...

After purchase, I noticed that the cylinder didn't spin extra-freely when out on the crane, so when pulling the cyl. to clean it I also oiled this up - cylinder spins fine. I don't know if this is normal; but the spot where the yoke meets the cylinder was originally completely dry. While not...

I've had the gun apart before (probably how I got this) - but I'm comfortable dismantling/reassembling (yes I hit the handle with a soft hammer to open). My trigger has side-side wobble - if pulled hard to the right the cylinder "hand" jams up a bit, to the left DA pull is smooth. I just need...

You know what I mean, shooting 38 special in a 357 magnum, there is a buildup at the seating length of the 38sp that can stop 357mags from fitting. I have bought a lewis lead remover; but it broke. Still, that was a kind of painful way to do it. Lead removal paper kind of works (always comes...

My wife has condemned my accumulation of a (meager) collection of firearms. She's refused to accompany me to the range. Now, she asked when she can come to the range with me. Seems she's concerned about "safety", and is caught between a lifetime of anti-gun propoganda and hard realities of...

My only pistols are a S&W 686 and a Glock 30. I've been seeing these single-action 9mm FEG hipower clones around for a little over $200. This might sound goofy; I kind of want it for a combination plinking gun/mechanical toy. I would like something I can shoot at the range with a...
