    Aluminum frames and rust ?

    Is rust a concern on an aluminum framed pistol such as the Sig P series, given that the anodizing was applied correctly and is undamaged. If the answer is yes under what normal conditions could rust rear its ugly head? Saw a post at sigforum and it got me to thinking...especially since I just...

    Python owners, need your input

    Just acquired a new s/s 4" elite model. I have owned one in the past but never shot it extensively before I traded it. How well do they hold up? I've read that a steady diet of magnum loads will cause problems down the road. Any truth to this? Its not a real big issue for me as most of my...

    S&W - need your input!

    I've got the opportunity to purchase a nib 945 (Smiths semi-1911), the 3.75" aluminium frame/ss slide model. This is a pre-sellout pistol or I would not be considering it.

    P97 or USP compact, which .45?

    I handled both of these pistols y'day. Both pistols felt good in my hands. I like the cocked and locked capability of the HK, but I also liked the price of the Ruger compared to the USP ;) Primary usage will be for home defense. My question to you is- which would you buy and why.
