I recently ordered an AR Complete Lower which was delivered to my local FFL on Thursday. The FFL is a pawn shop which recently changed owners. I called late Thursday to check on the lower and the clerk told me they did not receive all the info they needed from the seller and it should be emailed...

I was under the "evidently misguided" assumption that if I received a payment through PayPal it was a safe transaction. On 3/16/11 I received payment through PayPal for a Kimber .22 Conversion that I sold to a member of another forum. This morning I received an email from PayPal that the buyers...

I just received my new LC9 after a 3 week round trip to Prescott. According to the invoice Ruger replaced the frame insert pins, front sight, hammer catch and springs. On my first range trip the hammer catch broke and from a pistol rest it was shooting extemely low & left. Ruger test fired 35...

My wife wants lasers on all of her pistols, so I pre-order the LG-492 from Crimson Trace before it was available. It arrive 3 weeks ago and was mounted with no problems. I adjusted it with the top half of the dot setting on the front sight at 21'. We finally got to the range this past Thursday...

For years I've wanted a .22 1911. While cleaning my shop a couple of weeks ago I noticed a spare .45 frame and more than enough Ed Brown parts to complete a receiver. I decided it was time to build my dream target pistol. In doing research I found that the Kimber conversion seemed to be the most...

I've never owned a revolver in my life until today. A friend stopped by my house wanting to sell this pistol for $450. It has a good bit of holster wear on the barrel and frame in front however the cylinder lockup/timing is very tight. It has a Pachmayr grip but it may not be original. I fired 6...

I own a good number of 1911s, S&Ws & various rifles. Several years ago I wanted a cheap rifle to keep in my truck. I bought a HP 995 because I have a lot of 9MM. I owned the carbine for several years and never had a problem with it. Since then I've bought 995TS. It seems as though most members...

Recently I lost a harddrive in my computer and lost all of my bookmarks. I had a bookmark for a chart that listed all of the S&W handgun models numbers & specs for each model. I have searched several times and can't seem to find the chart. Do any of the members have a link for a similar site?

After waiting for 2 weeks I finally found the time to take my upgraded Mil-Spec to the range. I fired 25 rounds each of WWB, S&B, Golden Sabers & reloads at 15 yds, all 230 gr. with 0 failures. The only problem I had was with the trigger pull being to light for me. The pull is very smooth & has...

After 3 weeks of on & off work, mostly off, I just completed the rebuild of my SA Mil-Spec. Forum members will probably ask "why didn't you just buy a Loaded model?" I did the upgrade to become accustom to working on 1911s in preperations for a complete 1911 build. If any other members are...

I have a 3913 with ss slide that I would like to remove the sights from. I believe I read somewhere that the dovetails are slightly tapered with the wide part of the opening on the right side. Can anyone tell me if this is correct?

Just received my Feb 2010 edition of Combat Handguns magazine. Sitting down for the evening to read, the first review that caught my attention was the FNH Five-seveN ODG 5.7X28. The review was very interesting. Their conclusion: As a self-defense pistol the Five-seveN is easy to carry, very...

Several months ago I saw a S&W 3913NL in a post on this forum. Since I am a S&W enthusiast it attrached my attention. I thought it would be an ideal CCW pistol for me & I have coveted one since. I have searched for one to no avail. Recently I found a 3913LS in excellent condition for $400 &...

I bought 4 - 17 rd mags for my M&P 9C. The only problem is these mags or for another S&W pistol so there is a gap between the mag base plate & the bottom of the grip. I though about filling in the area on the mags with autobody filler to match the conture of the grip then painting to match the...

I keep all of my newer pistols in the original plastic cases. One month ago I retrieved my blued Ruger 22/45 Mark III from the case. I noticed a couple of very small wear marks where the barrel & receiver touch the case. I have several pistols and I move them around to get to the one I need. I...

At present the only 1911 pistol I own is a Colt my father carried in WWII. I grew up shooting the 1911 and still shoot it a couple of times per year. I am presently building a display of all my father's war memoribilia in which his Colt will be mounted. I will buy a 1911, as a retirement gift...

Curious to know if any has tried the ProMag 10 round magazine in the LCP. I have not found any pictures of the mag installed in a lcp. If the mag extends very far past the end of grip could cause problems with conceal carry. I also have heard of feed problems with other ProMag extended round...

I just purchased a Ruger LCP .380 for concealed carry. On firing for the first time I had problems with the sights in low light condtitions. Has anyone tried the Nitesiters photo-luminescent dots from the following web site? http://www.nitesiters.com/
