    Worst Firearm Fail Ever!!!

    We are not talking "kaboom" kind of fail, but it is still a fail of monumental proportions. This is just wrong on so many levels, that I don't even know where to begin.... I decided that I needed to own all of my favorite James Bond movies, so among others, I bought the Special Edition 2000...

    Sarco grading?

    Hi All: I have purchased parts from Sarco before, but never pistols. Their customer service for parts was solid. However, now I am considering some of their pistols. How are they on their grading? A few companies have reputations for selling pistols that they rate VG, that look nearly NIB...

    It was a good day...

    I managed to snag a long-awaited CZ75 in nickel and a Colt 1911 (1991 NRM)...the same day! Two of my dream pistols--it simply doesn't get much better than this for someone into classic steel pistols like me! I was almost able to snag a SIG P220 and Browning Hi Power that same day, but they...

    HP Range Report, Dedicated to Mr. Camp...

    I went to the range on Friday with my new Hi Power and intended to write a range report, with among other things, a big thanks to Stephen Camp for his advice and inspiration to buy the pistol. It was with heavy heart that apparently I didn't get the report out before he passed away. I have...

    Hi Power Palmswell Grips?

    My perfect Hi Power grip would actually be just like CZ's palmswell checkered rubber grip. But no such grip exists that I have seen. I managed to get a hold of checkered rubber Uncle Mike's grips, but am disappointed: there is no palmswell, and the grip curves in the wrong places to make it...

    Very cool: Intimidator...

    http://www.maxton.com/c18add.shtml Holy Transformers, Batman! Wow--this is a 3-D metal cube sculpture, that can be broken down and reassembled into a .45 caliber pistol. It even has a special lock to keep its secret secure, and has a laser sight when fully assembled. I think the guy is even...

    Buck Mark Questions...

    I've settled on getting a Browning Buck Mark for a target plinker. But now the question is which one... I like the looks of the Camper (and price!), but want fiber optic sights, which brings me to the Practical. For the ~$30 difference on Buds, is it worth just getting the Practical? 1. I...

    Refinished my CZ82...

    I finally got around to refinishing my CZ82. It was a bit beat up, as you would expect for a used milsurp pistol. So here's what I did: 1) I put Beretta 92 baseplates on the mags so that the grip would fit my hand better. They slide right on with no modification. 2) I sprayed PlastiDip on...

    S&W 3913 good for range use?

    Hi Everyone: I am considering buying a S&W 3913. After reading up on it, it has a great reputation as a carry piece/CC weapon (let alone a good reputation generally!). Someday I may get a CCW permit, but in the meantime the pistol will really only be a range toy. Is it appropriate for the...
