I really like the overall shape of the standard plastic grips on my CZ 75B but I'm wanting to get something a bit more aggressively checkered for it. First priority would be to keep the same general shape of the original plastic. I'm open to either G10 or wood.

So I was cruising the internet and I came across what, to me, seems like a pretty good deal. It's a Kahr CW9 for ~$250 with free shipping (link included below). I've shot one of these many moons ago, around 2012. I enjoyed it, but I didn't have the money for it or really a need for it either...

Hi all, I picked up a star bm9 but one of the grip screws was tightened on so hard I wound up stripping and marring it a bit. It will hold but I would like to replace it. I found this set of screws but it does not specifically list the BM as a fit. I asked the company and they could not confirm...

I picked up a blemished lower from PSA as a gift to myself recently (actually still waiting for it to ship on over). I like the idea of building my own AR from a mechanical standpoint, I also like to tinker. Anyways, my goal for this build is for it to be a "working" rifle. Range use, home...

I recently took my new brother-in-law out shooting (he's only been a few times) and he's looking to buy his own pistol for home defense only. Being in IL, carry is a fairly new thing so he'll worry about that later. We went to a range where we could rent pretty much any and every kind of...

I'm going to preface this by saying I don't really NEED a new pistol, but I kind of want one. That's healthy, right? :) I've always preferred a DA/SA action and I never stop hearing or reading about Walther. I've never actually fired or even held a P99, but I have rented a PPQ. This was back...

Hi all, For reloading 9mm, I use Berry's plated 115gr flat nose bullets. I went to go order some yesterday and it doesn't look like they make those anymore....BUT they do have a 124gr flat nose. Intuition tells me that the small weight difference shouldn't make that much of a difference to my...

Hello all, Living in the wonderful state of Illinois for most of my life (except for a stint in WI prior to their carry laws) I have not been allowed to carry at all. Now that the new laws have finally gone into effect, well, in a few days, my focus has been to how and what to carry when I am...

I went to the range today and wanted to pick up a box or two of 9x18 because I haven't shot my CZ-82 in awhile. They were out of 9 makarov but had some surplus looking ammo under the 9x18 label (yes, they have separate labels). They offered to let me take a round to the range and see if it...

Hey everyone, I came across some CCI APS primers but I don't have a loader that uses these strips. I was wondering if it's possible to remove the primers from the strips and put them into my own machine (Hornady LnL AP)? Thanks!

I got the chance to go through a couple boxes of the 115 gr tmj version of this ammo and to me it felt a bit warmer than what I'm used to. Are these on the hotter end of factory ammo or am I just imagining things? (FWIW, I typically shoot handloads, 115gr fp, 4.5 bullseye)

I've always been a bit curious about Kahrs and the CW9 has caught my eye. It would be used possibly for ccw once IL actually passes some sort of legislation as well as a range gun for my girlfriend who has ridiculously tiny hands. (legal note, this would be my purchase for her to use with me...

After a year and a half of shooting handguns exclusively, instead of contemplating what kind of handgun I wanted, I figured let's branch out into something new entirely! I know very little about rifle models and makes and have not handled them much at all. I have fired rifles before and did...

I just bought a S&W 686 and I have a few questions for loading for it. The load I plan on starting with from Lyman's 49th is 125gr Berry's plated with Bullseye powder. As far as charge weight, would I be able to use data from 38 spl in a .357 case? The range for the 38 spl loads goes from...

A good friend of mine is looking to pick one of these up as her first firearm. When she mentioned it to me, I had never heard of it before so naturally I went off to do some research on it. So far I know its a 9 shot .22 top break, can either be DA or SA, and went out of production in the late...

I've had my CZ82 for about a year now and I'm seeing that I just don't shoot it anymore. It has sat in the safe for at least 6 months now, mostly due to ammo being a bit of a pain to get my hands on. I'm thinking of selling it to put the money to a new pistol purchase, probably something of...

I'm relatively new to reloading but I'm having a concerning issue. I'll complete a round but when I apply a bit of pressure to the bullet, it sinks right down into the case. I'm assuming this is a crimping issue, but I'm not sure. I'm reloading 9mm with 115gr Berry's plated flat nose. I'm...

I'm set on picking up a 686, but is the only difference between the plus and non plus the 6 shot vs the 7 shot or are there others slight differences? If that's the only thing, I'm leaning towards the regular 686 to save that $50 and find speedloaders a bit easier.

I just ran across a 622 at my LGS listed at $275. I didn't get the chance to handle it (closing time) but it looks like it is in very good condition and has two magazines. This strikes me as being a great deal, but what do you guys think?

I've been noticing that the LGS's in my area (NW Suburbs of Chicago) have been quite overwhelming. When I bought a CZ-75B back in Feb, their price was $650. I found it online for $460 and offered the LGS to price match and they recommended to buy online. Yesterday, I was browsing while...
