Local range offers many classes in safety and skill development. One of which is a Draw & Fire clinic which I have taken a few times (helps to keep your basics straight). In the past I have always used an auto for this class as I carry an auto 95% of the time. There has always been at least one...

My G29 has started to malfunction again. It is the same problem I sent it in for a few months ago, spent case stuck firmly under the extractor. I am now going to request that they replace the pistol with a new one. Has anyone had this done before? Do they take the serial number tag off the frame...

I bought my first Kimber about 5 or 6 years ago, a standard Custom Classic lightly altered by me with smooth coco bolo grips, a smooth steel mainspring housing, and a drop in metal trigger. It was an important event in my shooting life because up until that purchase and subsequent firing of that...

You know, lots of people you hardly know with completely unknown politics coming up to you and hugging you or otherwise laying hands on you in familiar ways. I am thinking my usual carry method (1076 in a belt holster concealed by an untucked shirt) is out if I don't want to give Aunt Bessie a...

At the range, I have been asked if I am a cop three times since I started carrying my S&W 1076. Memphis PD carries a S&W DAO of some sort (5946/4046). Though I think they are VERY different pistols, I suppose all Smith autos look alike to a casual glance, especially that of a newbie. I smile...

My F.I.L. is after me to go hunting with him again. He either wants to go back to Africa (Mozambique for a lion for him) or go to Scotland (red stag). I was glad I went to South Africa with him last year but told myself I would never go back. I would like to see Scotland but mostly as a tourist...

How do you do a speed reload with your DA revolver? Do you transfer to your weak hand and eject with your thumb while your strong hand grabs and loads? Or do you keep the revolver in your strong hand and load with your weak hand? Or some other method? Just in an evil mood so I thought I'd do a...

What is a typical price for a 1911 from SVI? I am interested in obtaining a fairly plain single stack in 9x23 and was wondering what kind of $$$ I would be looking at from them. I used their little "build a gun" function but it did not include pricing.

I doubt anyone will disagree that the most customized handgun in the world is the 1911. I am guessing the HP is a distant second. What other handguns have you seen that were customized to the point you did a double take in trying to ID it? Not talking just a refinish or a trigger job but a strip...

Getting kinda low on my nickled 10mm brass. Anyone got a good source for this item?

Recently put an old scope on a Win M70. Rifle looks great, scope has seen better days but is still works very well. Is there a touch up pen available for glossy finishes? Glossy black model paint?

Kydex? Leather? I like Sidearmor or Bladetech for my Glocks. Leather for most everything else. I'd like a IWB holster for my P99 but I don't care for Bladetechs IWB design so kinda wondering what other Kydex IWBs are available. I'll also look at leather offerings. Thanks.

:eek: http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=3180313 http://www.gunbroker.com/auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=3180475 I'm a pretty big fan of 10mm but Jeez! Note that $65 is just the starting point, reserve looks to be $75. :confused:

Bought a well used 1006 recently. It is mechanically very sound, very accurate, and very reliable. It ain't the prettiest thing though, much holster wear. My preference would be to refinish it in a dark coating that would add some thickness and tighten it up a bit. Then add some wood grips and...

Is my best bet for Smith auto work Cylinder and Slide? I have a 1006 that could use some cosmetic work and perhaps a little action work as well. Anyone tried a dark finish over a stainless Smith?

I have been pretty happy with Precision Bullets polymer coated stuff. Clean shooting loads at good velocities. Kinda wondering if there are sources for plated/jacketed bullets that compare favorably? Checking www.precisionbullets.com I see that I can buy 1000 185 gr 10mm bullets for $45. Anyone...

Ever heard of such a thing? Love my 610 but the trigger could be better. My 629 has an incredible DA pull but it's hammer mounted. Anything is possible but is it possible for less than the price of the gun itself? Risks to ruining accuracy? Other considerations?

I know this has been covered before but the search function wont let me use words less than four letters such as "pin" and "CZ" so I am forced to just ask the question again. The trigger pin on my CZ75B has taken to working itself free during firing sessions. I can wiggle it back in place easy...

I have it in my head that I want a particular model of pistol that was discontinued in the 90s (S&W 1026). I am diligently checking gunbroker and gunsamerica for this item. Where else can I look online? Also is there such a thing as a service finds scarce items for a finders fee?

Have a line on a used S&W .45 (4586) with one of those damn dust cover accessory rails. Does it come off easily? Are there screw holes leftover?
