My dilemma is this: My girlfriend is a very good shot yet dislikes stout recoil. I would like a simple pistol with some significant mass and sufficient power to be a house gun. She shoots very well with a semi-auto but has problems racking some of the tougher slides (Makarov.) Yesterday, I got...

I'm just looking for opinions from those who own one. They look real nice gun but they're not cheap so I'd like some pros and cons. Are they worth the price? I've never shot one, btw. Thanks.

A decent while back, my girlfriend and I got out carry permits together. Now, she's a good shot, handles firearms safely, goes to the range with me every so often, etc, but it was a little bit of a deal to get her to actually carry regularly. Well, she's been carrying, finally! Here's what did...

Hi all. I just took delivery of a P-64, the Polish 9X18 pistol. I want to order some springs from Wolff to civilize the thing and would like to know if anyone here has done the same. If so, which hammer and recoil spring would you recommend? Thanks.

I have a PA-63 in which I've replaced 3 springs, hammer, recoil & firing pin. All told, they cost about $15 total from Wolff. What a whole 'nother gun! The DA trigger is now sweet and that hand-bangin' recoil is gone. All told, parts included, this pistol cost me less than $200 and it's a...

Seeing as .360” bullets are uncommon, I want to develop a load for the .358” 148 gr LHBWCs but that bullet takes up a lot of space in the case so I'm leery of pressure spikes. But, that hollow base will grab the rifling well.... I'd also like to use this bullet because it's all I use with my...

I just gave a piece of colonial currency worth approximately $100 (maybe $120 on a good day but now everyone's a bit tight) for a Single Six, a 1961 Magum Model. His wife wanted the gun out of the house and has been bugging him since the day she knew about it (7-8 years.) It was his...

I couldn't resist!

I recently bought a 4" H&R 929 for $55, shipped. :D Anyway, it's double action only with a magnificent trigger pull, a seriously light and smooth pull. I had been hoping for a beater that functioned but recieved a really great little .22. My question is this: Did they make them DAO? I ask...

Hi. I'm usually hanging out in the smokeless area of this forum but I have a question or two some of you may be able to answer. I reload .38 SPL and I know that it was originally a black powder cartridge. I have a can of Goex FFFg in the house and was wondering what would be a good load with...

The screw next to the original Marlin 60 screw cost 11¢. The big head holds the broken trigger guard in place just fine. It works best when you keep in place the piece that has snapped off. It's a #8 fine thread screw (32 threads per inch.) Has anyone ever posted this before? I did a search...

Hi. I have a Double Nine convertible that looks and feels virtually new. The DA trigger is a bit stiff. I've had some H&Rs with stiff DA triggers, especially the 922s, and they seem to lighten up a bit with use. This is the only High Standard I've ever owned so I have no experience from which to...

I'm posting this here because there are times when one wants to say something to someone who'll understand. I think some of you folks will.... I have a '62 Plymouth Valiant, my baby, that needs a rear end/differential rebuild. The noise it makes is just horrible, like it's screaming in agony...

Hi. I am going to the TWRA range in Cheatham County (no attendant there so we can actually get some serious shooting time in) on Saturday with two shooting virgins. They're history professors and I snagged their interest with my milsurps and antiques. Would anyone like to meet up with us? It'd...

I saw one by chance today in a Pawn Shop. Is it worth it? It seems to be in pretty good shape, a 95+% finish and one scratch on the grip. It has an 8 3/8" barrel and adjustable sights. Any S&W experts out there? I looked on Gunbroker, AuctionArms and GunsAmerica to see what they're going for but...

You go, girl!

It's a blank Excel spread sheet w/all the appropriate columns. If you glue it into a bound book, it's legal. When I buy or sell, I edit the info on my pc, print another and then glue it in again. Anybody know how to post an Excel attachment?

Not too long ago, I bit the big one and plunked down a bunch of money on a Hi-Standard Double Nine .22 LR/.22 WMR convertible revolver. I had been looking for a decent one, any one really, for over a year, looking every 2-3 days on Gunbroker, AuctionArms & GunsAmerica. I did find one in...

I went to the range today with a few pistols that I really haven’t shot too much. One, in particular, was very impressive, my Star Mod 30MI. It’s a DA/SA 15+1 9 MM. The thing is a tank. It’s all steel and weighs like a CZ 52. It has a weird safety in that the hammer will cock and fall while on...

Since I'm doing some remodeling again, I needed to have office necessities with me. Some of you more observant folks may notice the lack of a tape measure. That is strictly a waistband carry item, always accessible at a moment's notice. I carry a 25'x3/4" wide Stanley. Yes, I know that a 30'x1"...
