    Has anyone heard of the Valtro 1911?

    I saw a short post about this over at the 1911 forum. Apparently it is an Italian made 1911-A1 that people are saying will do to Kimber what Kimber did to Colt. Here is a photo... http://www.jsa.cz/valtroA1.htm Has anyone shot this before or know anything about it? Their website is in Italiano...

    New 1911; Fixed vs. Adjustable Sights

    I am going to buy a Les Baer later this year. Currently I am leaning toward the Thunder Ranch Special. I already own a Kimber Custom Stainless and a Kimber Ultra Carry (Black). Since both of my current 1911 style pistols have fixed sights I started thinking that maybe I should go for one of the...

    There is a gun show coming to my area this coming Saturday and I am planning to buy a Makarov. Today I went around to a few of the local gun shops to check on availability and prices. I was only able to find one. It was a NIB Bulgarian with extra mag and holster for $269.00. That seems really...

    How to go about starting an indoor shooting range?

Supposedly this money is up for grabs to people looking to start shooting ranges etc. Does anyone know about this? And what is the...

    Keltec & Grendel

    Is it just me or does anyone else notice a lot of similarities between the Grendel and the Keltec. What happened to the Grendel? I know that they didn't exactly make the finest quality firearms. I bought one years ago before I knew much about guns. It was a 380 that held 12 rounds in the...

    Going Postal?

    I am curious if it is legal to be CCW in the general area of the post office i.e. where the P.O. Boxes are located. The reason I ask is because if I can't then why did they put the metal detectors at the entry to the customer service area and not at the main entry?

    Fixed my slippery P7M8.

    I went to Home Depot and bought 1ft of the no-skid tape (a.k.a. skateboard tape)for 97 cents. When I got home it took only 5-10 minutes to cut a small piece to fit on the backstrap of the P7. It is like a different gun now. The tape looks like it was made for the gun. It really feels good too. I...

    Problems with gripping my P7M8...Solutions?

    I have a refurbed P7M8 and it is really a great pistol that shoots and conceals very nicely. Here is my problem; because of the smooth areas on the back-strap while shooting, the pistol has a tendancy to twist in my hands effectively changing my grip. I can stop this by taking an extra firm grip...

I understand how to create the link to the photo but the problem is I don't have a website to post on and I don't know where or how to get my photos to such a place. Can anyone offer advice on my best options short of...

    Had my Kimber Customized...Wow!

    I brought my Kimber Classic Stainless to a local pistol smith to have the slide flats polished, 30 lpi checkering on the front strap and replace the plastic mainspring housing with a steel one. The total was $220. It looks great with the high polish on the slide. I didn't get the frame flats...

    My Wild Bill's came today...yeah!

    Finally, I waited since Oct 26. I must say that I am truly impressed with this holster. It is an IWB style for the P7M8. I got it and the double thick belt too. Both are in the dark brown. I was on the phone when I heard the postman drop it in the doorway. Just as soon as I ended the call I had...

    Colt Mustang Problem....Help!

    I field stripped the mustang to clean. While I was brushing out the lint and dust along the rails of the frame a small arched metal piece sprang up near rear of the slide. I pushed it down and now it won't go back to the same spot that I first noticed it(I didn't force it ever). This part...

    Concealed Kimber Question

    Will the extended magwell on a full sized Kimber affect concealed carry? If not does anyone recommend the one piece mainspring housing/extended magwell from the Kimber accessory catolog?
