So today at the range, my SIG Nightmare Carry shot with its usual aplomb, but a field strip to clean it showed this afterwards: Looks like the disconnector failed in a particularly MIM sort of way to my eyes; that eroded/crumbled look isn't what you'd expect from a tool steel part. Since SIG...

Which will likely save me a ton of money in the long run; we're in there three or four times a week. I wrote to them expressing my displeasure with their treatment of their pharmacist who was fired in 2011 for shooting at a robber REPEATEDLY PULLING THE TRIGGER of a jammed gun he was pointing...

This looks pretty...different. Don't like seeing the base of the brass, though- Updating the derringer is overdue, IMHO. Heizer Website Larry

I found a site that allows you to make custom toolbars. As far as I can tell, there are no hidden hitches in these-I've installed and uninstalled it a score or more times while testing, and it doesn't appear to load anything but the toolbar. If there are any skilled computer guys who could...

Seriously, wouldn't it be cool to have a nice, modern break-top revolver in .357? Maybe .44 special? Super-fast reloads, with revolver reliability. Or am I the only one who would buy one? Larry

I've got one of the aforementioned in 30-06, purchased from a friend's dad some years ago. I've been looking around for info on it lately, and haven't found too much-even though I've searched gunbroker and gunsamerica and googled pretty hard. First question-this rifle has pressed checkering...

When I heard that Springfield was working on a 9/10's size 1911, I was extremely excited. I had long been telling shooting buddies and acquaintances that a 1911 scaled down ever-so-slightly to fit the 9/40 class of cartridges would be my dream gun. Not that I don't love the standard 1911-I do...

Partly prompted by the recent situation in downtown Chicago, I'm beginning to wonder who is practicing 'non-standard' firing positions? I'm thinking about things like shooting 'behind' (around the side?) yourself, shooting straight down at an aggressor surrounded by innocents, shooting upward...

Perhaps I missed another post-if so, my apologies: Remember Rule Number Four? I'm not judging-perhaps what was done was the best available option, and absolutely necessary. I will say that I'm amazed nobody considered impact weapons (batons) against the knife, as it appears they had time and...

Hi, Anybody got a source for magazines for these neat little .32 pistols? I have one that's got sentimental value, and I'd like to shoot it more.... Failing that, has anyone tried to use/convert a Model 84 (.380) magazine to work with the .32? Thanks, Larry

I posted a complaint about The Gun Shop in the Feedback column. But having spoken to the ATF, it seems that threatening to 'sic' the ATF on somebody who hasn't done anything wrong is pretty serious...so I feel a heightened need to warn people about this incident. Here's the link: TFL Thread...

Just back from my second trip to the range with my new High Standard Supermatic Trophy. After about 300 rounds and some magazine tweaking, I feel like I can write a fairly comprehensive initial review. I bought the gun while looking for a Ruger Mark II. (I wanted to pick one up before the Mark...

Or am I being an a$@#&@#? I bought a used gun,a Star Firestar in .40 that was being sold on consignment, at a local shop. Nice place, nice people, got a good price. Take the gun to the range, won't extract the second round. Try different mag, ammo, same thing. Take the gun right back, and the...

Well, I think I just hit my peak, here. I've wanted a Star Firestar since they came out. I've gotten close to pulling out my wallet a few times, but finally broke down and bought a used .40 tonight. Why... Because I think it looks cool. I know, I know, that's a stupid reason to buy a gun. I...

You may have heard me rail against Ruger's support of the AWB. I still consider them anti-citizen. That said, am I the only one who thinks that this: Ruger Deerfield Would be killer with a hi-cap magazine? Sort of an M-1 carbine on steroids. Too bad 'no hi caps for you' Ruger would never do...

My boy (11 years old) is looking for his first deer rifle, and I noticed the Mossberg SSI at the local gun emporium. Seems like one of these in .243 would be a nice, light and handy gun for him to start out with, and we both like the ethical discipline that would come with starting out with a...

I'm just going hunting for the first time next month. I've been shooting for my whole life (I'm 41), but I've never hunted before. And I'm shocked to find that, with all the guns I own, none are really suited to hunting deer. So I have to go gun-shopping :) Here's my dilemna-we're going to...
