Glocktalk.com just went down approximately 8:15 p.m. MST. No scheduled downtime was announced by Eric. Some dolt named "Hans_Schmidt" was trolling the General Non-Glocking group, and then the whole site goes tango uniform. Hopefully, it's a technical glitch on the server side, but with the...

I have a police officer who wants to swap out his existing sights on his Ruger Mini-14 rifle (not a Ranch Rifle), and I couldn't think of anything else besides the Ashley Outdoors replacement sights available in Brownells. Does anyone make a peep-style sight other than AO? And does anyone offer...

I really like my P228, but for some odd reason, my gun will absolutely fling fired cases at my head. It's not good when I'm trying to qualify for in-store carry (don't ask, weird situation, that), and piping-hot 9mm cases are bouncing off of my hat. If I really grip the gun tight, the ejection...

This one confused the heck out of me. I've got a pre-ban Bushmaster XM15E2S A1, 11.5" bbl. There's a Tasco Pro-Point mounted on a B-Square see-through carry handle mount. With Winchester Q3131A and PMC 223A (both 55 grain FMJ), the point of impact at 50 yards is the same as my POA.. Now, with...

Working at a gunshop has certain drawbacks: silly customers, ridiculous laws, and absurdly low pay. Not to mention that the staff has first crack at the consignment stuff. Today's temptation: LNIB HK USP Compact 45, Variant 1. I like the integrated safety/decocker, and the fact that I can carry...

I enjoy shooting my P228 and P239 (both 9mm), but in DA mode, I can't seem to get my finger around the trigger for a smooth pull. I end up yanking my shot up and to the right. At least one customer has installed a short trigger on his P226. For those of you who've gone with the shorty, is it...

Not only did Bill Clinton have awful ethics, a shrewish wife, and a severe case of beer-googles, he forced upon these cursed "post-ban" mags. I've got a pair of Sig P228 mags that are supposed to accept 10 rounds. When I finally wedge that 10th round into the mag, I can hear one of the other...

In my encounters with various individuals, I've always been unable to come to terms with an apparent paradox. The same individuals who can't bear the thought of using violence (gun or otherwise) on an attacker, seem perfectly fine with delegating that task to the police. Aside from the fact that...

My new pre-ban carbine always ejects brass forward at a 45 degree angle, instead of to the rear. I thought it was an ammo issue, as the Federal XM193 55 grain ball went forward, and Black Hills 50 grain V-Max went out at a 90 degree angle. Today, I shot Winchester Q3131A, which is supposed to be...

There's a Bushmaster 20" HBAR target rifle at the local gun shop. A check of the SN verifies that the lower receiver was manufactured prior to Sept. '94 and sold to a dealer. What I don't know is if the rifle was assembled in a pre-ban configuration before the ban took effect. If the previous...
