    12 year old EDC, time to replace springs?

    I have a Glock 19 that is now 12 years old. Only 1500 rounds or less have been fired, and I haven't shot it in 5 years or so. I was reading online people replaced their guns every 5 years (or striker spring) . Is this spring under constant tension in the firing pin channel? Should I replace...

    Bersa thunder pro compact 9mm?

    It's the only full metal, compact pistol under $400 I could find, outside of the new S&W CSX. This gun has been produced since 94/97 from the wiki page, and I can barely find any negative reviews or complaints. (Magazines out of stock) Does anyone here own one? I'm trying to find one locally...

    Seacamp 32?

    I have come across multiple reviews saying it's outdate design, and its not that good anymore. The issues with it noted for worse is if there's a jam, you have to have the magazine inserted to clear it. The gun slide locks up if the magazine isn't inserted. Does anyone recommend these anymore...

    New Kel Tec p17, competing with Phoenix Arms 22lr

    Just saw the details for the P17, comes with 3 extra magazines all for $175. I'm assuming it's all polymer to keep costs down and compete with the Hp22a. I was tempted to pick up a hp22a but after seeing this with 3 magazines just a bit more I'm going hold off.

    Mec Gar P226 magazine problems (Taurus G2C)

    Picked up a G2C recently, and the Mec Gar P226 magazines I have FTFEED often. This isn't just these magazines. I have owned Mec Gar magazines for a 92fs and a Mark 3 and it does it on ALL of them. Anyone know how to fix this? 3rd time is not the charm with Mec Gar in my experience. :mad::confused:

    I have one on my wish list at spot #2 on buds, thinking about doing an sbr build on it. All the reviews seem to be 4 to 5 star happy customers. Any experiences from TFL members here? I am thinking about using it as a training aid for my cousins as it's small and they are under 13 years old.

    Beretta 87 22lr currently in production, thoughts on buying?

    I have been on a .22lr kick this year and have bought multiple .22lr firearms, currently a pt-22 on layaway to compliment my 21a. I was searching and came across the beautiful beretta 87 which I thought was discontinued in the 1990's. Is it worth the $800 price tag? I heard the magazines are...

    Finally found the "problem" on my p238, ejector is making rattling noise.

    I always thought it was the firing pin block but last night I figured it out when I took the gun a part for cleaning. My extractor is making this clicking/ticking noise when I tilt the gun up and down. My dad has one and it doesn't make this sound, I do not think this is normal.... I never has...

    LCR 3" 38SP did ruger make a mistake and not release it in 22lr?

    Was disappointed when I saw this gun, a 38 spl in 3", why not 357mag? I would have rather seen it in 22lr to compete with the Taurus 94/990 models and S&W 617. Who WANTS a 38 in 3"?? they have the SP-101. What out cry was there for a 38 in 3"???? People want to shoot cheap, a 22lr would have...
