Hi all, I have a Ruger Mk III with around 1500 rounds fired through it over a number of years (I don’t shoot it that much). It’s been a good pistol. Lately I’ve seen some failures where spent cases seem to be getting stuck in the chamber. This has happened with Norma and Federal ammunition...

Hi all, I saw this on Walther's Facebook page today: https://waltherarms.com/pdp-f-series/ The F in the name seems to be geared towards women (females). Dimensionally the grip circumference is reduced and either as a result of that or in addition to that the trigger reach is reduced. They...

Hi all, Sharing this as a heads up. I was removing the grip panels from my P320 AXG today to do some cleaning of the frame without dirtying the grip panels. I went to put the grip panels back on and while tightening one of the screws, the screw snapped. I’ve had my share of idiotic moments...

Hi all, I have just over 2,000 rd through my P365XL now and I wanted to pick up some more magazines. The original magazines have held up well. I have five magazines and they have a black finish that has almost an orange peel appearance. I ordered two magazines from Academy Sports and they...

As the title suggests, do you like, dislike, or not care either way when it comes to front strap checking on 1911s? I notice that on more expensive 1911s front strap checking is often included. I get that this is another production step and would add to the cost. I'm wondering if it's added...

Hi all, I learned to shoot on double action revolvers. Then I switched to DA/SA pistols, then to striker fired pistols, then back to DA/SA, and back to striker fired pistols. I mention this because all of that meant that my opinion of what was or wasn’t “safe” when it came to trigger weight...

Hi all, Some years back we had a similar such thread. One of the popular recommendations then was the Dan Wesson Heritage, which was about $1200. These days the Heritage in its newest SKU seems to be $1500. I’m not saying it’s not worth that, but that’s far enough away from $1000 that to me...

Hi all, In late summer of 2020 I picked up a used Wilson Combat CQB in 45 ACP, circa 2005. It had been a solid pistol so far using 230 gr Federal Ultra Target and Range and 230 gr S&B. Like a lot of people my ammunition choices these days is limited. One of the stores local to me does get in...

Hi all, Over my years here I’ve sent a number of firearms back to the manufacturer. Not long ago I purchased a Shadow Systems MR920. It had some functional issues and after contacting the manufacturer they sent me a label. In the instructions they asked for a photocopy of my drivers license...

Hi all, For anyone out there that owns a P365/XL, have you left your magazines loaded for a long time, and if so have you noticed any notable impact on the spring tension or function overall? We’ve had a number of threads in the past about what wears out a magazine (leaving them loaded versus...

This isn’t a rant on my part or even an attempt at being facetious. If you purchased a semi-custom or custom 1911, why did you do it? What was it over production pistols that you felt you were getting or just plain wanted? I have been looking at used 1911s lately and my price bracket falls...

Hi All, Basically I just wanted to give a shoutout to CZ’s customer service. A little while back I purchased a P10-C optics ready. I had shot the pistol for a few hundred rounds without issue. When shooting some Winchester NATO ammunition I was getting infrequent light strikes, say 1 in 30...

Hi all, I've been looking at picking up a Colt 1911. I had been looking at the Competition model and a lgs has a few that are used. One of those pistols has a serial number that starts with CCS. Does this relate to the Colt Custom Shop? The other pistols had serial numbers that started with...

Hi, I’m hoping someone here can help me out. I recently picked up a 507c V2 MRD. I’m getting odd reflections with the dot on. This isn’t bloom, I have a Type 2 RMR and I’m used to bloom or bleeding from the dot at higher brightness settings. In this case the light seems to be from secondary...

I'm a bit shocked/confused currently. Tonight I decided to finally drift off the front sight on my Browning Hi Power to measure the dovetail depth for a replacement front sight. I am using a Wheeler Engineering sight pusher that I've used a dozen or so times (see the pictures and here's a link...

Not long ago I picked up a 1990 Hi Power. It's been a decent project gun and I enjoy shooting it. One negative I've found for me is the sights. The ones on there now lost their white paint some time ago and with my eyes not what they once were (and they were never good) I'd like to get a...

I was surfing gun.deals last night and I came upon an ad from Cabela's for a new P229 Nitron for $750. Seemed reasonable so I clicked on the link and then noticed the picture. https://www.cabelas.com/product/SIG-Sauer-P-Pistols/1374737.uts When you look at the P229 Nitron picture you notice...

Hi all, I've had a Springfield Armory Range Officer in 45 ACP for just over two years. I bought it used and I don't shoot it that much. The pistol has been flawless until recently. At around the 1200 rd mark I started getting failures to eject. The case would extract, get held back by the...

Hi all, All the talk about Hi Powers in the recent Tisas thread finally motivated me to buy another Hi Power (I owned one many years ago as one of my first semiautos). I picked up a surplus MkIII being sold by Mach 1 Arsenal on GunBroker and was lucky enough to not have my auction bid up overly...

The attached shows the difference between a G19 and a G26 with factory 12 rd mags. To me the difference is noticeable and worth it. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk
