Rialto, CA: [this seen on local TV News] May 20: in-store video camera showed an innocent young man bludgeoned from behind by a gangbanger; (poor guy is near death). The Perp roams the store. The owner confronts the Perp. The owner is holding handgun. Perp runs out of store. The victim was...

I'm thinking about getting the Ruger SA New Model Blackhawk Convertible; with two cylinders(9mm and .357 Magnum -- so, .38 Special, too), this covers THREE calibers; as I already have a .38 and a 9mm, this looks really good to me! Anyone here have experience with this SA Ruger? The only SA...

I had a few issues of S.W.A.T. laying around my living room(between Shotgun News, American Handgunner and Bodyworker Monthly). A "drop-in" neighbor(one who is actively recruiting for the Religion De Jour, sat down, looked over at the mags and, I swear, jumped about an inch vertically! I tried...

To be honest, I just caught the tail-end of a story on the News last night: It seems that Sean Penn, an actor whose work I enjoy, is going for the slot that "Hanoi Jane" semi-vacated....Sean Penn travelled to Iraq recently and decided that we(the U.S.A.)have no reason or right to declare war on...

I am not trying anything "hinkey"! I have a question regarding living in two states: My father-in-law lives in Arizona...my wife and I spend a few months each year at his home. The rest of the time we live in California. Does anyone know if it is legal to have a Driver License in both...

This is my first post on this forum! I belong to an outdoor gunclub where LEOs train and qualify; CHP, local police, and the Border Patrol. Yesterday, the Border Patrol folks were firing bursts of what sounded like .40 or .45 caliber...then, POPOPOPOPOPOPOPOP!!! Emptying their magazines. I...

I have gotten different answers on this qustion: I have a 1956-7 S&W .38 Special. A friend of mine wants to split the cost of a 1000 rnds. of .38 Special +P Winchester. His Model 10 is nearly new and rated for +P. Is it completely verbotten to fire this higher pressure ammo in an older Model...

Thanks in advance for offering advice and not flaming me:rolleyes: I have some experience with shotguns and rifles. but have been mainly into handguns. I'm looking at an inexpensive first rifle -- not for hunting or HD, just for plinking and generally testing the waters to see if I will...

I just realized that the HEADER above is job requirement. Seriously, a lot of fine, friendly people work the ammo dump, I mean, Sporting Goods counter. Unfortunately, a few Goobers slip through the hiring cracks and you get a few Dental-Challenged gene pool drop-outs manning the desk. I pick...

Hey, I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner:confused: I reside in Desert Hot Springs, 20 minutes North of Palm Springs(remember those wind turbines in Jerry McGuire & other flicks?). Any TFL'ers live near or visit the "Springs"? If so, want to get together? I belong to an outdoor...

:cool: I have an aquaintance who refers to my 9mm CZ 75B as a "peashooter". :mad: Now, I plan to aquire firearms of many calbres...some bigger, some smaller. This dude only likes .45 acp and bigger. I'll get to the point: This morning I was shooting steel plates when I noticed a...

My CZ 75B 9mm comes with a 14# recoil spring. I was advised to replace it with one from Wolff Gunsprings. I got the 15# spring. Even with the increased-power spring, my brass ejects up to 13 feet! I have ordered the 16# recoil spring from Wolff. Will the extra pound of spring reduce the...

I just got a new 15# Wolff recoil spring for my CZ 75B 9mm. I took it out for it's break-in today: the pistol cycles great, but the new spring is about an inch longer than the OEM...Should I wait and see if it compresses, or clip a coil or two to shorten it? Thanks!

This ought to make you experienced handloaders chuckle: I "tested" about 100 rounds of 9mm loaded by a recent aquaintence: they all cycled and went BOOM. I bought 1000 rounds. Next day, after about 50 more rounds, I pulled the trigger and all I heard was "click": I tried to rack the slide...

Here's the deal: I was cleaning the area around the firing pin-hole(where it strikes the primer, not the breach of the barrel): I noticed two TINY pits approximately 1/16th" from firing pin hole: I probed very gently with a pointy dental tool...these tiny craters are very shallow; should I...

I've heard some bad things about Wolf Russian ammo: I also see a lot empty Wolf casings at my local range. I do not want to feed ammo that will possibly harm my extractor or any other part of my CZ 75B. However, a friend shoots nothing but Wolf in 9mm and .45. Anyone have a problem with this...

After seven months of c*c*ing around with CZ USA, including one botched attempt at repair and a replacement 75B, I had almost given up...feeding and extraction/ejection problems would pop-up at the worst times: I was in my second local match: Stock Gun Novice yesterday. For a Novice, i was...

I need a 1911: unfortunately, my income horizon is minimal due to health issues, so I hope to find value and quality..hopefully, I'm not just dreaming! I've narrowed it down to Springfield milspec or nearly-new(about 600 rounds)Colt 19911A1. I figure I can add some goodies like Beavertail grip...

I have read very positive reviews of this pistol. I realize it is a CZ clone. I would appreciate feedback of owners as I am considering aquireing a new 9mm and this looks like a possibility so as not to break the bank. I am especially interested in reliable cycling and accuracy! Thanks!

I knew it was a matter of "when", not "if": a couple of days ago, I started having jams with my CZ 75B 9mm. The day before, I went through about 150 rounds of CCI/Blazer with no problems. The slide stop pin had sheared in half.:( Being on warranty, CZ is sending a relacement. I met a fellow...
