After about 700 rounds, my Ruger p-95 is shooting high despite the shooter. It is otherwise perfect just 2-3 inches high. I spoke with Ruger and they sent me a lower profile rear sight. How do I get the rear sight off. I removed the hex nut and tried tapping with a rubber hammer but it won't...

What speed (RPMs) do you use for polishing feed ramps and connectors with flitz or semichrome. Fastest 35000 rpm or slowest 5000 rpm or somewhere in between. Dremel recommends about 17000 rpms for metal polishing. Does it really make a difference??

I have been reading a bit about bullet setback and the inherent dangers of re-chambering the same round in a semi auto. As often as I have to unload my weapon. The gun shops, the gun shows, the ranges.....so on and so on.... What is the safe limit on rechambering a round. It sure doesn't...

Well after years of shooting my centerfire handguns from 38 special through 45acp, I thought I would get a 22lr pistol to teach my 8 year old son the basics of shooting and safety. Well wouldn't you know it but this Ruger 22/45 4" bull barrel is really fun to shoot (go away kid your disturbing...

Saw a used 367mag model 65 3" with rubber grips today at the range on consignment. Number inside was 65-5 and had the firing pin on the hammer (not transfer bar) Lock up was a bit looser than I would expect from a smith but the timing and gap seemed ok. Price was $275 + tax. Any idea of...

Are these two shotguns in 12 gauge identical?? If not what are the differences? Is the warranty the same? Local gun shop says they are the same gun in every size, shape and way with a less expensive price tag on the Maverick. Thanx for your responses

I am interested in adding a shotgun to my home defense collection of handguns. I have searched through previous threads and seen comments regarding the 870 and mossberg 500. Most of these threads are not too specific as to comparison of reliability and value. So please once again for an old...

Can anybody tell me about the .32 cz70 ? There is a reatailer locally selling these for about $100. It is so hard to pass up an inexpensive gun to add to the safe and I've read some good things about the larger cal CZs. Appreciate your feedback

Picked up my Glock 27 last week and really like it. One question though to those who own one. How long does it take for the mag springs to break in enough that you can carry 9+1. I can fit 8+1 no problem and if I really muscle in the 9th, the slide will not feed the first round. Spoke with a...

I really like my Taurus M85 standard steel 38 special. I bought it old but not used (1997 vintage by serial number) at a gun show several months ago for a price too hard to pass. I use it for concealment on the hot Tucson days when difficult to conceal my full size semi autos. Recently came...
