    XD(m) Two tone question

    Trying to figure out if its worth shelling out an extra $50.00 for the two tone XD(m) in 45 ACP. I have been researching and it appears that the slide on the current production two tone may be carbon steal with some kind of coating or plating? The 9mm and 40 S&W versions specifically note that...

    Maryland Gov. signs gun control measures into law

    http://news.yahoo.com/maryland-governor-signs-tough-gun-control-law-171921765.html Doing a little research looks like no confiscation (for now). I guess the criminals will be lining up to turn in those evil 20 round magazines for 10 rounders any day now...

    Anyone importing the "AK-12" yet?

    Was watching a little program on AK's last night where they mentioned the AK-12. Did a little research and I guess they make a civie version now over in Russia. Its a relatively new gun but does anyone know of any companies importing civie AK-12's yet or with plans to do so in the near future...

    Springfield Armory EMP-40 how snappy is it?

    I am leaning towards a SA EMP-40 as my "summer" carry gun; my only previous experience with 40 S&W was out of a P226 and it took some getting used to. How much "snappier" can I expect an EMP-40 to be vs. a P226? Sadly none of the local ranges I frequent have an EMP-40 for rent.

    SIG-556 question.

    I own a SIG 556 Rifle, have owned it for the better part of a year now but havn't gotten to shoot it very much only about 200-400 rounds. I noticed something odd and thought I should consult the "experts". While inspecting the rifle, unloaded with bolt locked back any kind of real disturbance...

    "Wet" Primer Sealant?

    I went shooting for the first time with my new PPQ this last Friday and I noticed something real odd. I was shooting some 6 month old S&B 9mm 115gr FMJ's, the ones with the "red" sealed primers. When I was done shooting I looked at my left thumb and noticed a big red spot on it. I didn't...

    Help identifying rear sight from a Colt 6920

    I need a spot of help here guys. I handled some sort of Colt 6920 similar colt variant the other day at my LGS . The rear flip up sight was unlike any flip up sight I had ever seen before on an AR. The knobs were big for your typical flip up rear, the base was a touch longer and the controls...

    Building a good backstop, how WIDE?

    I have decided that come the spring I am going to have some dirt and other goodies delivered to the family property up in WI and finally build myself a proper backstop. I have been using our septic mound; which is about 30' wide and is about 10' high as a backstop but because of where it is...

    Good morning everyone; I know this has been gone over a bit in the past here so I won't be too long winded. From what I can dig up here and on other forums there was an announcement @ SHOT-2012 that someone would finally be importing the civilian version of the TAR-21 AKA "Tavor" rifle used by...

    1911PD First Range Trip, great gun, Great Reliability...problem with excessive wear

    I took my brand new S&W 1911PD to the range on Friday for my first session with it. I made sure to lube it up real good before I left (I have STILL have a nice black gun oil stain between my thumb and trigger finger) The gun shot great, it cycled everything I put through it reliably except for...

    New S&W 1911PD

    Picked up this Gem from the LGS yesterday. My first 1911 woot! Fresh, crisp , new S&W 1911PD (commander length). Though come to look in the box I guess the gun was made in 2007 and it has to be the dryest gun out of the case that I have ever purchased. After a healthy oiling it is good to good...

    Does anyone still make "Bar and Dot" style night sights?

    I am curious if anyone out there still makes what I call a "Bar and Dot" (Think older SIG. Beretta M9, or Khar style standard sights) night sight. I have found some references to Novak making some back in 2000-2003 but based on their web page it doesn't look like they make them anymore. The...

    You ever just see a gun and BAM you just can't take your eyes off of it? Well it happened to me today. I walked into the local Gander Mountain to kill some time between sales calls and they had this beautiful Commander Length S&W 1911PD with the Crimson Trace laser grips. All on sale for only...

    P229 FTE Question

    Well I had my second ever FTE this past Saturday with my newish P229. The "method" of the failure was exactly the same as the first; spent shell casing still in the barrel/chamber with the tip of the next "live" round up against it. I have ruled out lubrication; I took my 229 apart the morning...
