I am in the market for a Steyr Scout. What don't you guys like about them?

I have a sweet blue model 19 that looks to me to have a 2.5 inch barrel (although it has "-3" stamped inside the cylinder.) Great action. Anything to look out for?

Guys, I want a big bore/handy rifle. OTOH, I don't want to cry like a baby every time I shoot it. I've shot 8mm, 30-06, .308, 223, etc. I've even blasted wit a 50 cal black powder. I have a Steyr Mountain rifle in .308 and it kicks like a kitten. I noticed that Ching used a sandbag to bench...

P99 Pro/con FAQ .1 1. Re-strike capable. Striker fired weapons have traditionally lacked re-strike capability. For example, if you pull the trigger on a Glock and the round fails to fire, you would not be able to pull the trigger again until you cycled the slide (and another round into the...

P9 FAQ .5 1. Description: The P9s is a double action semi-automatic handgun that uses a miniaturized version of the roller-locking system found in older H&K rifles. The pistol was ahead of its time with extensive use of plastics and sheet metal in non-critical areas. Further, it featured an...

After a 4 year hiatus, I am going to try another "everything crappy about" thread. For those of you who have forgotten (everybody, I'm sure) the idea is to state all the reasonable problems with a guns design. This isn't x vs. Y. I just want to collect all the cons into one place. I assembled my...

Court: Fence violates international law, must be dismantled By Aluf Benn, Haaretz Correspondent, and Reuters The president of the International Court of Justice was Friday reading the ruling on the legality of the West Bank separation fence in The Hague. The ruling was in line with a...

Guys, I, like many of you, was very happy with the recent election. However, it is time now that we actually do something to undo the damage done by the Democrats over the last decade or so. We all have dreamed of letting the AWB sunset but have never really believed it would happen. Well, now...

Guys, I have a used Colt Commander I recently bought fairly cheap. It says "Series 80" under the ejection port. It seems to have a stainless barrel and guide rod. It has a medium-long solid black aluminum trigger. It has black plastic-rubber grips. It has three dot sites with a dovetail rear...

Guys, My Colt Commander is reliable and accurate, I'm very pleased with this $435.00 beauty. However, It shoots 5-6 inches high at 25 yards. It is a series 80 and that is it as far as I can tell. It has three-dot sites and the front one seems to be pinned in. At any rate, it doesn't have a...

I have a used Colt Commander in nice shape. I would like to get the trigger improved (and a short trigger installed) and have it throated. Plus, I would like to get some low-mount nights sights installed. How much? Who should do it? GHB

Has anyone ever heard of any problems with the USP9? I'm not talking about grip width or finish wear---I mean serious issues like explosions or parts failure? I haven't and I'm begining to wonder if this sleeper might be the most problem-free gun availible. (My vote is still with Sig until...

After years of claiming it didn't exist, except possibly in the mind of judges and the popular will, Democrats have discovered what scientists are calling the "constitution." Unsure what it is, Democrats led by Robert Byrd are nonetheless sure that it prevents the President from protecting our...

I have always wondered why aks are inaccurate. Is there any way to make one accurate? Are there any accurate rifles based on a similar action? If you wanted to design a rifle that was as accurate as possible nut as reliable as an AK what would you do? GHB

Guys, I just ordered my 550b and dies from Dillion$. I'm setting it up so my 400 round a week 357 Sig habit can become a 800 round habit:D . What other goodies do I need? I have a bullet pulling hammer and a primer pocket tool (and a caliper). That is it. I guess I should get a vibratory case...

I'm getting a 550B for the express purpose of reloading 357 SIG. What is the cost of loading 1000 rounds of 357 SIG? I'm talking about good practice rounds, not junk or sniper handloads. What are your formulas (broken down by component cost if possible) for economical loading? GHB

Gents, I'm just about ready to start reloading (again). I have ~3k 357 Sig empties. What should I get to begin reloading this round. I don't have any equipment ( I sold my old Lee press years ago:mad: . GHB P.S. How cheap can I reload say, 1000 rounds?

Guys, I'm thinking about going nuts and shooting a few thousand rounds through my 229 .357 over the next two months. It probably has ~4 grand through it right now. This started me thinking about when I might need to replace the springs etc. So how many rounds do you guys have through your Sigs?

Gents, Which gun is physically larger--P99 or 229? I'm thinking about picking up a P99 but Probably won't if it is as big or larger than the 229 (my usual carry). Comparison? Personal experience? I handled a P99 a year or so ago but I can't remember the overall size. GHB

Gents, I am thinking about taking the plunge and buying a P99 in 9mm. I might get one from Earl's repair service. Can anyone tell me if these guns have "Earl's Repair Service" on the slide? I know it is silly, but I am not keen on this. What about the "Euro" version. Where are the markings...
