Hello, I need some input on this issue I have with an adjustable rear sighted 1911. I am decently proficient with it at normal combat ranges, perhaps to 10 yards. But am having issue with 25 yards, it is shooting low. I believe I may have made a mistake in adjusting the rear sights all the...

So I have seen some interesting work on 1911s as of late. Most noticeable are milled out grips and of course slide cuts. Are these OK to do, or is there a mechanical issue that would be encountered? Other than a reduced spring weight if the slide was lightened. And lastly, would any of these...

So I have a small to moderate pistol collection and I am in need of a proper safe. They are secured now, but want to move them into a better and more secure home. What would you all suggest. I am on a budget as we have a new baby in the house, thus my need for better arrangements than I have...

So, I have been thinking a bit. .22LR is getting a bit scare in my neck of the woods. That being so, I started thinking of a high power single shot air gun. May need be as powerful as a .22LR rifle due to less "bullet" weight, but still rather nice when rated at 975fps. I have also seen...

So, I try to search for over glasses eye protection. Not exactly a wealth of information follows the search. Does anyone have a soldi recommendation for shooting glasses the work well with prescription eye wear? Any input would ber appreciated. P.S. I can not wear contacts for long periods...

Can anyone tell by this picture what may actually be going on. Somehow I believe it is a severally over polished feed ramp. Do think it is a minimum spec at the very least. If feed ramp iis supected, has anyone used EGW carbon steel feed ramp insert? If so, how much to have it installed...

Can you remove professionally applied Cera Coat from a firearm without hurting it? To be specific, a stainless steel Sig? So not a super smooth surface as they are more in the way of natural stainless. Any help appreciated.

SO to those more in the know than I, can this be done? I have a CMMG .22lr conversion for my 5.56mm AR15. I am rather inexperienced in sighting in a long arm, and am looking for constuctive feed back. I do realize that there is a major difference in trajectory for these 2 rounds. But if I...

So I am in the market for a new 1911. Have have decided that it will most likely be a Sig 1911. That said, I am partial to the Sig Ultra Compact and Sig C3. I know of the the reports of sub 4 inch 1911s having major issues, this Sig however has not had any bad feedback that I can find (3...

A friend of mine has a 9 year old son who shoots with him. His son currently uses a .22LR rifle (sorry, forgot to ask which one, it is a semi though), but he feels it is time to move him up to something else. What would be good for a 9 year old who is very well aquainted with his gun? I...

Was in my LGS yesterday and the owner showed me a pair of S&W 686s. One with 6 inch barrel and another with 3 inch barrel. Both in excellent condition, but with what some consider a fault. The locking system. Is there any real differnce in the action of these firearms? Does it really...

So there we were thinking about Hurricane Irene coming up the East Coast. I have been through quite a few hurricanes and realize what they can do. My wife has never experienced a hurricane. So here is what the thinking was, HERS: What would you take with you if we had to leave our house...

I 'm not sure who these experts are that keep telling us the recession was over, but we may now fall back into one again soon. Now with the level of unemployment in this country and the lack of new money coming to retailers, when did some moron decide that we are out of the recession. I know...

So I have seen many firearms being sold with the TALO description. As far as I understand it, Talo is a distributor of firearms. So they take a gun, put some nice grips on it, change the finsih and viola, an extra $300-$400 dollars retail. Is this just a cosmetics job or do they really...

Hi, As it says, what would be the best thing to get rid of small scrathes in a SS slide? I have heard of Flitz, just not sure if it is right for the job. Scrathes are from a gunsmith who installed new rear sights on my SS Springfield 1911. Apparent vise marks from when the new dove tail...

This may be a stupid questi0n, but can I just buy a commander slide and fit it to my full size 1911? Or is there something else that I am missing. Oh, when I mean side, I mean a complete slide, (slide, barrel,barrel bushing, and guide rod and spring). So if it can be done, has anyone done it...

So there I was, just doing some simple reloading, had checked and set up my equipment a week or so earlier for this round. I had also checked the load data when I had set everything up and I was good to go. Now after about 70 rounds I decide to check my load data, ahh,well, where did I get...

I was just reading another thread about best customer service. One of the replies was basically that his older guns never had to be serviced (by the factory). So that brings me to this thought. Skilled labor is starting to be lost at a staggering rate. Once all the gun manufacturers employed...
