    Went and bought a Saiga 20ga

    Was at the gunshow and couldn't resist the price. Don't know a lot about these. I've shot some friends a little, but don't have any serious trigger time. I've heard that the older 12 ga's can be difficult to load full mag's into when the action is closed. I've had the same experience...

    Help me use up some 473AA powder

    I've got a half keg of this stuff, but am having a hard time finding recipes for it. I reload shotgun (mostly 12, some 20) and just decided to get into 9mm. I think this powder used to be used for both, but so far my web searching has been in vain. Anybody have any recipe's? Good site for...

    Available and upcoming XD models

    In another thread, I learned that some folks have got the ported version in 9mm. Since the website only indicated porting to be available in the 40 and 357 models I wrote Springfield to see what they had to say. Here is my email. "your website only shows the 5 inch and ported models in 40 and...

    Help me identify this pistol (.380)

    I was in a local shop and happened to ask if they had any colt 380's, as I think they are the softest shooting gun in that caliber. "We have a used 380 from FIE that looks like a little 1911" I was told. Who is FIE. As he went to show me, he I thought that it was probably a Star or Llama that...

    What age did your father give you a BB gun? Considering this myself, and while alot depends on the individual child, I'm wondering what age you all recieved one. If you would rather vote the age your children recieve one that's cool too.

    Who makes a good range mag for the walther p99's?

    Thinking about some range mag's for my newly acquired p99 (9mm). I shoot IDPA and I'd feel much better dropping non factory mags, esp the hi cap's. I'm wondering if any have had any experience with Promag? CDNN is selling these for $13 and p88c/p99 for $19 Both are 10 rnders. I'd like to try...

    I was just flipping through some listings over at gunsamerica and something caught my eye. One of the listers had a price, followed by the words "FIRM". Got me to wondering, how many of you GA purchasers haggled, and how many were successful?

    9mm 1911 questions

    I'm sure that I could find the answer to some questions I have if the search engine was up. Sorry if this is duplicated. I'm starting to get the itch for a 1911 style pistol. Ok maybe it's a full blown rash. I'm wondering about 9mm, because of ammo costs and simplify what I need to keep...

    Anyone know of a nice 1911 tutorial....

    I'm starting to feel the 1911 itch. I've learned a bit here and there on the web, but I would love to know of any "how to" or "tutorial" type sites. The gun has a variety of starting manufactures and is probly the most tweaked gun in history. I'm wondering if there is any single site that...

    Magazine spring questions

    The previous poll has me wondering about some things. Guyon mentioned some engineer friends that claim with current materials springs don't "take a set" if you leave your mags loaded. I have wondered about this very thing as well, but I don't have any materials engineers to ask. But I CAN...

    What differences exist inbetween the Star Model B vs Star Super B

    I am thinking about buying one of these pistols because they are like the 1911 in appearance, inexpensive, single stack and are both chambered in 9x19. Fills a niche in my budding collection. Gun would be for "recreational" shooting, not collecting, not competing, not defense, not carry. Other...

    Glock questions; want your feedback

    Looking to buy my first pistol,and I want a Glock. Don't ever plan to carry this gun, or see myself likely to need it in self-defense. I shoot for pleasure, and might eventually enter some stock class amature competition. Like the idea of the 40 with a 357 barrel or vice versa. Torn between...
