    Ruger PC carbine accuracy

    Got the pc carbine out today with a new 3 power Nikon scope. Sighted it at 25 yards and then moved out to 50. Best I could do at 50 yards was about 6 inches! The eyes are not good enough to use the iron sights so I am stuck with the scope. The scope appears good and tight so I am at a loss on...

    1980 nickel hi power rehab

    I found a 1980 nickel plated hi power at a fair price for its condition. It has obviously not been taken care of due to the dirt, grime. gunk and cobwebs present. There is a small amount of rust and the nickel plate has bubbled up on a coulpe of places around the trigger guard. The grime and...

    p320 external safety

    When I was comparing the P320 and the S&W 2.0 I noticed that none of the Sigs I examined had external safetys. I know that was a requirement on previous service pistols so have the rules changed? Will Sig be producing the P320 with an external safety?

    The World Wars on the History Channel

    Has anyone seen the latest extravaganza on the History Channel? I don't know who the armorer was on the show but he was obviously a historical idiot. Germans were using 03 springfields, Churchill was using a 1911 and all the warring powers were using SMLE's. It looked like one British soldier...

    Slide to frame fit

    I have a older model FEG Hi-power clone. The overall condition of the pistol is very nice but there is, what I consider, too much play between the slide and frame. Is there any way that this play can be reduced without causing damage to the pistol? Thanks.

    Magnum Research MR9

    Finally got out to shoot the MR9 and am very impressed. The gun is a Walther P99 clone and I believe that the lower reciever is made by Walther. Anyway the trigger was great (single/double action decocker). I am not a very good pistol shot but the ergonomics of the MR9 sure do make a...

    CZ P0-7 Duty

    Any CZ-P-07 owners out there? Just got one of these a while ago and am more impressed with it the more I shoot it. I like the old hammer fired guns but the P-07 is a new twist. The CZ Omega trigger is just plain outstanding. The double action is very smooth and the single action is light...
