Can anyone recommend a good quality 158 gr jhp for my new sp101 with only one requirement, it must come in a box of 50 instead of the high dollar stuff that comes in boxes of 20 and 25 which is ridiculous. I normally use WWB personal defense in all my handguns but for some stupid reason they...

I am doing a college research paper paper on the evolution of polymer, specifically polymer handguns and want to find a source or some opinions of polymer frame life span. Also I am not really talking round count just life span in general such as break down and brittleness. I know that 20 or so...

I just installed a NY1 trigger spring in my new G19 and I notice now the when shaking the gun the firing pin does not rattle unless the trigger is held back. Before with the stock coil spring it would rattle without holding the trigger back. I did the firing pin safety check and when it is...

Anyone use grease on the rails instead of oil? The manual recommends just a drop of oil on each slide rail but wouldn't a touch of grease on all 4 receiver rails be better?

Glock 19 or Berreta M9 Not to start a war but I will be buying one of these next week and was wonder in terms of reliability and durability which would you go for? BTW the m9 is 40 bucks cheaper but as of right now I am leaning towards the g19 because thats what I have been wanting for a...

New 642 without the lock its a done deal, it was really simple taking off the sideplate and disabling the lock was even simpler. BTW I ended up stripping the whole pistol and let me tell you that spring for the hand is a bugger, I had to download a schematic to figure it out. That lock is never...

I found this article while searcing the net on teh effectivness of the 9mm verses the 40cal and I must say after reading this guys real world experiences I will always use a minimum of a 40 of 45 given the chance for HD. Not trying to get a war started on whats best but this is some intresting...

I use 180gr in my new 40cal CZ and I have chambered and hand cycled a couple full mags 3 or 4 times, you think these rounds are ok? Can I just sit them up on a flat surface and compare them to check for setback? Also the rounds are WWB JHP and each one shows the little crimp notches on the...

I need some expert advise on a couple of qustions before I mod my CZ40P. Can a stainless steel guide rod be used in a 40p with a alloy frame? (I have heard both ways and need to know for sure if it will or will not) Can I polish and make it shiney my barrel. (again I have heard some say yes...

I just purchased one at the gun show can anyone tell me about them and whats the durability and reliabilty like? Also does anyone know of any holsters for other guns that will work?

I recently purchased a CRKT M16-13Z for EDC. How the heck do you keep these things from rusting, I carried it 2 days and the metal under the holes on the handle started rusting. What gives I have carbon steel that don't rust as easy as this crap. I used a qtip with CLP and after a weeks they...

I have used tru oil before on laminated stocks and was happy with the results, but does anyone know if I can use it over a existing factory finish on a remington 870?

I have a 870 made in 1991 with around 2 - 3 thousand rounds through it and the action bar on the LH side (ejection side) is looking worn where the little groove is cut in it. I think the groove is for the shell stop but I am not to sure. The wear is mostly just the blueing but there also looks...

I just recieved and mounted a speedfeed sport stock on my 870 and it is a big step up from the remington synthetic stock. To start with the stock is 2 - 3 times thicker and alot sturdier than the factory remington stock,sounds like solid wood when hit and not that hollow sound. The forearm is...

I just orderd one of these what does everyone think of them? Also it comes with a vertical sling mount, mag spring, and funny looking high visable follower. How is the quality or the wilson spring and follower and are they reliable? In the picture it don't look like it has a hole for the...

I have a older model 870 and I purchased a new 870 18" barrel. My old barrel had the detent ball and my new barrel does not, how will I keep the mag tube from coming loose. If anyone else has put a new style barrel on a old style gun can you tell me what you did?

I have a S&W 637 1 year old fired less than 30 times LNIB, what should I expect to get out of it at a guns shop in trade in on a ruger sp101? I am getting a new 642 for christmas and don't really want 2 airweights but I do want a sp101.

A buddy had his 870 hot blued and the guy who done it for some reason redone the brazing on the barrel band that mounts to the mag tube. I know this becuse they used to be a small gold line around the band and now its bigger and there is a small drip area thats not noticeable because its under...

My current 870 has a 21" barrel that takes rem chokes, can I safely shoot rifled (foster) slugs thru it with a modified choke, or will I need to get a IC choke? Also I have heard that any gun with removeable chokes will at some point send the choke down range with shooting slugs and ruin the...
