    Century Int. Arms - 1911 45 feedback?

    Does anyone have any feedback about the 1911 style 45s that Century International Arms is selling? The price is quite incredible, but I don't want to run into one of those "you get what you pay for" issues. I have been looking for a mid-size 1911, and their Commodore would seem to fit the...

    Manurhin PP - How to tell when it was made

    Ok, I have read the other posts about the Manurhin PP and I haven't been able to figure this out. :confused: This is what I know, but I feel like there are "holes" in it: There seems to be 3 "versions" of the Manurhin PP. One when they where making them for Walther because Walther couldn't...

    Manurhin PP vs Makarov (Bulg)

    Both guns seem to have their own followings. Both seem to be good guns. Can't compare them in stopping power as the Manurhin is a 32 ACP and the Makarov is a 9x18Mak. Not for carry or stopping power, but for just for shooting pleasure, which would you buy? I will use simply at the range to...

    Makarov - Recoil and price

    Before denfoote has a chance to say it, I will say that I am getting pulled into the Makarov Collective!!!! :) I am looking at buying a Mak. A local shop has a Bulg. one, unissued, 2mags, etc. for $189. Is this a good price? I am also wondering about the recoil on it. I am not worried about...

    22 Rifle to start my sons on

    I would like to take my 2 oldest sons (11 and 8) to go shooting with me. I shoot mainly pistols (SIG 226) and they are not ready for that. I thought a 22 rifle would be a good place to start. but I don't know much about what would be a good one for the money. Don't want to spend a fortune...

    Ammo versus accuracy

    Went to the range today:) . Shot my SIG P226 9mm and used their ammo, which was Atlanta Arms & Ammo factory reloads (115gr TCJ). Did not do as well as I would have liked:( . I then switched to Winchester new ammo (115 gr FRJ). The accuracy seemed to improve. How much of a difference does...

    Hi-Cap Mags for SIG P226

    Being a cheap skate and not wanting to spend $50+ per used mag, could somebody tell me about the aftermarket hi-cap mags for the SIG 226. Ones that are ok. Ones to absolutely avoid. I am only going to be doing range shooting. Thanks!

    Dry Firing

    I hope I don't start a war with this one, but..... What is the rule of thumb on dry firing? I am looking at a SIG P226 and would like to be able to practice to help become consistent with aim and trigger pull. Some say don't, some say it is ok. Is this like whether you should change the...

    SIG 226 vs 228

    Want to purchase my first 9mm. Shot a Glock 17 at the range the other day. Not bad. Then shot a SIG 228. WOW! Big difference. When I went to look into getting one, I was getting mixed info on the 228 vs the 226. Some say must go with the 226. Others not so blunt. I am not going to carry...
