I've got a Walther P5 Compact Special Forces ordered from Earl's. Its a very limited edition of an production over-run for the British Special Forces. Its got a special phosphate type finish and military markings on the slide. I inquired as to how many of these pistols are in the U.S. and the...

Saw one in my local gunshop today. All fancied up with engraving on the metal and the wooden grips, special edition markings (1 of a 1000?), gold plating on some of the small parts. The finish was a high polished nickel, I believe. Very nice! Asking price was $700. 1-15 and 1-10rd mag included...

Need a little info before buying a keg of this stuff. What shape is this powder and how well does it measure? I'm looking for a powder for high performance jacketed loads in 9mm and 45acp- any other suggestions? TIA.

Picked up a new MK9 Elite 98 last week. Great pistol and absolutely the best DAO trigger I've ever experienced. Its been completely reliable thru the break-in 200rds and accuracy is plenty good. The only negative with this pistol (and not a problem for non reloaders) is its habit of beating up...

I've decided to try the BB carry method for my recently aquired Kahr MK9. I've researched this topic here and found some good info, but, I need help deciding which holster to purchase. Clothing will typically be shorts and t-shirt... as summertime here in Mississippi runs from March thru Nov...

Got the itch for a semi auto .308 bad!! :D Need opinions as I'm trying to decide which to buy. Usage will mainly be plinking/target shooting, perhaps a little deer hunting - no competition. Does one of these fine rifles have an advantage over the other in regards to: 1. reliability 2...

This is pistolsmith Mark Morris' logo. I have seen variations of the same symbol and am curious as to what it stands for/means. "]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=208682&a=1538609&p=17492022&Sequence=0[/img][/url] Anyone know? [This message has been edited by bk40 (edited March 07...

Using quality ammo, what is the typical accuracy I can expect at 100 and 200yds? Is there accuracy to be gained by purchasing the "loaded" M1A vs the standard M1A? I'm not interested in using iron sights and would scope my M1A, if this helps. [This message has been edited by bk40 (edited...

I've looked thru several catalogs and have not spotted any speedloaders (HKS and Safariland) for the m696, a 5 shot L frame .44 Special. Anyone have any info on this?

I've got a S&W 696 on order. Its built on the L frame and has a 3" barrel. I don't have a problem with heavier recoiling loads...but, my previously broken wrist does. I'm looking for a accurate, medium load using lead swc bullets in the 200gr to 240gr range. Usage will be for target/practice...

Bought my 1st Kimber y'day. The Kimber Compact Aluminum. Not shot it yet. Barrel fit is excellent. Slide to frame slop is very minimal. High hopes it'll be a shooter. What would you recommend doing to the fronstrap and soon to be new steel mainspring housing. Checker at either 25 or 30 LPI or...

I am taking a look at the S&W 696 5 shot revolver. Primary usage would be for home defense. Its chambered in 44 Special. Weight is 36oz. What is the "L-Medium" Frame that S&W states the 696 is based on. Anyone shot this revolver? What ammo would be appropiate for home defense? Any input...

Anyone own or shot a AR10 rifle? I've got an opportunity to purchase an Armalite 16" in this cartridge... but, would like to know what to expect recoil wise. The only AR type rifle I own at this time is a Bushmaster Shorty AK. So, any type of recoil comparsions would be most appreciated...

After seeing a post at another forum (the ar15.com spin-off) I emailed Gunsmoke www.gunsmoke-inc.com about their kits. Heres their reply: We have 16" & 20" weapons kits post ban, 475.00 Del. We also have M4 weapons kits. The M4 barrels are 14-1/2 " and have muzzle brakes installed to make...

Handled a Combat Carry today. Very nice. Edges melted, tritium sights, slide-to-frame fit good as was the barrel. Price, $970. I'm looking for a lighweight 1911 for carry and like the officers size frame mated with commander size slide. Anyone own one of these (or shot one)? All comments...

I was looing at STI's Trojan pistol. It comes with STI's adjustable sight that resembles the Bomar and has the same dimensions. Emailed STI about possibility of ordering a Trojan with either Heinie or Novak rear sight (they offer those on 2 of their pistols) - answer, nope, a Trojan is a Trojan...

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kurt Wickmann http://www.kwgw.com on a 9mm Hi-Power project of mine. I had purchased a used MK III earlier this year, that was in good mechanical condition but had a few dings along with some finish wear. In other words, a good project gun. I had...

I am close to purchasing a SF forend light for my 870 Marine Magnum. Trying to decide between the 3v, 6v or the new M3 version. I talked with Mr Lagger of http://www.lagger-pro.com/ about the 3 voltage options. Basically he said the 3v is equivalent to the 3P flashlight, in terms of...
