Well, I'm writing from my parents place on vacation - I'm needing some sympathy, I'm trying to not turn rageful. Today my parents place was burglarized. As some of yall know, my dad was keeping hold of our firearms while DH and I are stationed in JPN. They stole my dad's rifles (Remy 308 and...

Hi folks, I got to thinking about this scenario after reading an article on a motorcycle forum I'm a member of. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/10/06/BAGQ6LKAAK4.DTL Those of you that do ride motorcycles understand that bikes and cagers sometimes do not mix. There are...

:D Hey guys, just stopping in to say hello and read a bit before running off again. Didn't really have much to say. I do miss my guns, I hope they are doing well with dad back home. I'm almost forgetting what it's like too be a rightful bearer of arms! Anyway, yall be safe and take care :)

My husband and I are a long way from our firearms. We are on the West Coast ready to leave the country for a 3yr PCS. Our firearms are at my parent's house in TX. Dad just called said there was a fire this morning that started in his walk-in closet. He left the light on and it got hot enough...

DH and I are here in SD for a couple more weeks TAD. What are the area ranges to hit? We were here about 2 years ago and stopped by some shops, but we never did range time. We'd like to go shootin' before we headout to Japan again. And most have that policy "you can't rent a gun if you're...

When I carry after a few hours of my gun on my hips, my offside hipbone is killing me from the pressure of my belt. I wear both lowrise and regular fit jeans. I started wearing regular fit during carry because it allowed for my belt to be worn a little more above my hipbones or at least not...

Just what the title says. I'm going to order a bushing wrench and the minimum credit card purchase is $10...the wrench is $3.50 :o I'm considering purchasing a high hold beavertail #207 as well - I have a BT project coming up, I'm considering Brown and Wilson...but I'd like to see pics of a...

My husband and I are flying home to see our families for the holidays. This trip will also serve as a transport for our pistols to my dad (instead of shipping $$$$$). I checked the airlines policy on firearms: It is my understanding of the above, that firearms in cases can either be in...

Today I went out to the range to shoot the 22/45 and the Colt Officer's i recently got. I shot the .22 first. Right off the bat my flinch was evident as part of my "normal technique". The flinch I have is actually pushing the gun down/forward when I shoot. Which results in low poi. I shoot...

You know, I'm about tired of buying stuff on Ebay and not receiving any freakin' feedback! For instance (here's where it stays gun related), I just bought my Officer's slide last week. I paid right after auction on Paypal. I received the slide 3-4 days later. I left great feedback for the...

Nevermind original question. I wrestled around with it. Athough I'm not a real fan of the thin barrel bushing. I might end up replacing that, as well as the recoil spring plug.

Well today I bought some grip tape. I have been trying to figure out how I want to checker/stiple/custom cut my slide. This is what I got for now. How do you use it?

I'm surfing Ebay "slides" was under the impression firearms frames could not be sold on Ebay. Are serialized revolver frames not part of this deal or what? http://cgi.ebay.com/llama-frame_W0QQitemZ7189892629QQcategoryZ73946QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem This guy also have another frame as well...

I was having a conversation wit my husband last night. He said he'd loved to have a compact DA .45 to CCW. I hadn't really thought about it before since he's carried an Ultra Compact and fullsize 1911. What's available in the DA configuration? Traditional DA/SA is acceptable. And, no Glocks...

...no, not housework sweeping while carrying. I noticed this the other day I was carrying OWB 3oclock. At a friend's house, we were all playing and wrestling with the dogs. I was on the floor on my knees, leaned forward and turned sideways, I looked back in time to see my muzzle sweep a...

Hey yall, I'm in the process of doodling around with my project 1911. I often check the chamber as well as rack and let the slide down by using the single-handed "hand over the top of the slide" method. You know, where the four fingers go over the top of the slide while the thumb goes on the...

Hey, anyone have one handy, what are the OAL of a Defender and Officer slide..not the barrel length, OAL from tip to tail. Thanks

The title says it all, do you carry when you run? And if you do, what and how? If you don't run at all, don't answer :p

I have well over 1200 rounds through my Cheetah and it performs flawlessly with FMJs and JHPs. It does have a HUGE problem feeding the WWB flat nosed rounds. As in, jams every shot! The bullet nose just sticks on the frame feed ramp and the slide force is not enough to feed it, nor is a tap...

I've seen the reference to 'truck guns' around here. And while I know what they are, I am somewhat conflicted and a bit confused. So, if you folks could fill me in, I'd appreciate it. 1. Does a designated gun stay in that truck at all times? 2. Is that truck/vehicle a daily driver? Or...
