I'm thinking about getting a Sig P226 or P229 and was wondering if anyone has experience with one that has trigger work done to it. I'm wanting to get a crisp, short, light pull as close to possible to one of a 1911 as possible, but I'm not sure if it's possible or not. Any input? Also, not...

Just wanted to say thanks to all my Brothers- and Sisters-in-Arms out there. Whether they were in Afghanistan, Hawaii, or stationed here in the States. Whether it was WWII, Vietnam, or the War on Terror. Whether they were grunts, pencil pushers, or gear heads. They all did their part, and...

So this is what I was afraid of when I started reloading. SQUIBS I have had 2 squib rounds using this formula out of my M92FS - 125gr HAP bullet 4.2gr of Power Pistol Book says it's 900 fps 900fps is the lowest recommended loading in the manual, but does this just mean I'm going too low? Or...

Winter time is around the corner, and for those of you who live in areas that actually have a winter, I have a question. Do you do anything different for in the winter time in regards to your CCW? I saw someone's signature that listed their summer and winter carry firearms (I can't recall the...

I got a bloodhound/chocolate lab pup last week. He is only 8 weeks old so I know I got some time before I can start seriously training him for bird hunting. This will be my first time training a dog and I was wondering if you guys had any pointers and when is a good time to start? Also, any...

Like I've mentioned before, I am just getting into reloading, and I am using Hornady bullets in 9mm and from what their manual says, Alliant Power Pistol seems to be the most efficient. So that's what I have been using but I have noticed it has a considerable amount of flash compared to my...

This happened a while ago and I figured I would post it up and see what you guys think you would have done. First off, right now I live in a not-so-good neighborhood in a two story building. The first floor is all commercial units and the second floor has four apartments, with access to the...

Hey ya'll. Been a little bit since my last post but here I go again. I just plunged into reloading with a buddy, and we have *almost* everything we need for serious reloading. I'm using virtually all Hornady equipment, Lock N Load AP Progressive, Cam-Lock Trimmer, Tumbler, Sonic Cleaner, blah...

Hey guys, Haven't posted in quite a while, so like it or not, I'm back! I'm about to invest in my first suppressor, going on my M92fs, and was wondering who on here has a suppressed 9mm? What kind do you have, any issues or suggestions? Also what company would you suggest for buying a...

The following is the worst experience I've ever had with, not only a CCW permit holder, but any "responsible gun owner" period. I was with my girlfriend as she was driving me home from the hospital after I just had surgery. We just got upwards of 4 inches of snow and the roads were pretty...

Hey all. Decided that my first 1911 is going to be either a Rock Island Armory or American Classic. 4 inch slide, satin or black finish hasn't been decided yet. Preferably with Novak style sights. Then have some gun-smithing done to it. Then some customs wood grips with a saying (my forum...

So I just had a random thought. There are some slim pickings for 7.62 ammo, especially hollowpoint ammo. So while daydreaming at work, I thought about taking a Dremel tool to some spam can surplus ammo. Cutting the very tip of it off to give it a flat nose, then take a small drill to it to...

Tax season is coming up, and being the 100 year anniversary of the 1911, I think I'm going to buy my first. :D So this one is for all the 1911 junkies out there, what would you suggest? Here is what I'm looking for: Something I can CCW (not necessarily a compact) Something that I can use in...

Bought my Dad a Keltec PF9 for Christmas, and we went shooting with it finally. I've read that for such a small pistol, they are fairly accurate. But my Dad couldn't land a shot on a paper plate at 20ft. He wears glasses and we have been messing with his glasses, shooting with them on and off...

I know that sounds weird but I just had a realization. When I go to the range, I always put a few extra drops of CLP on my gun. If it's my Ruger 10/22, I put half a bottle !!!! :D:D:D I know that an improperly lubed gun is an unreliable gun. And I also know that CLP stains on your white shirt...

Just wondering if any of the forum members here in the Cincinnati - Dayton, Ohio or even Covington, KY area do IDPA? I'm going to start in the spring and was looking forward to maybe putting some faces with the names on here. Maybe get a group together and do a meal before or after or...

So at my job, I'm not allowed to have a gun in the building. I was told this on day one, and have complied. I go through a metal detector and security will randomly ask us to turn out pockets inside out. But I noticed today that on a bulletin board there is a flyer saying something about...

So I was wondering if there are anything specific you guys do to simulate the stress and adrenaline of a self defense situation while doing drills? I've tried doing push ups and pull ups then drawing and firing, I've tried doing front/back/go's then drawing and firing, I've even tried holding...

The pistol is called a Mag-95, Mag-98 or Mag-98c. Different variations of the same basic gun. Seen a few pictures, read a few articles. I think they look really nice but Where can you find one? Or rather, CAN you find one? They are Polish from what I understand. Don't know if any have...

I just had a quick question that I couldn't really find the answer to anywhere. If you wanted to own a weapon for historical purposes, and it was a foreign weapon, say a Lee-Enfield, is there a way to get one with out the importing company putting their name on it some where? The reason I'm...
