A friend is looking to buy a new Colt Python now that they are back in production. Anyone have experience or comments on the new ones vs the pre-99 models? Looks like they sell around $1500. He's looking for a shooter not a collector gun. He had one back in his early LE days and now feeling...

Hi guys, I always find a wealth of knowledge on this site so thought I would ask for some help. Bought older model 10-22 carbine in good shape at gun show. When I got home and played with it a bit, I found that I had to play with the slide lock to get it to release bolt forward. Much more...

Just wondering if the rest of you were seeing .22 ammo flowing again and what prices you were paying in your areas. My rule of thumb is that I will not pay more than $10 per hundred or $5 per box of 50. I also only buy copper jacket and avoid the plain let tips. I very rarely come across...

Anyone have experience replacing the firing pin on Ruger Alaskan .454? Is this a do-it-yourself thing or do you need a gun smith. Is there a special tool that would make this more of a do-it-your self job? I bought a new slightly longer pin to address FTF w/ Buffalo Bore ammo, but cant find a...

This might get censored, but is anyone else offended by the dead silence on this in the media opposed to what would have been if a gun was involved? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A drunk driver kills a bunch of innocent people watching a...

I am thinking about driving to Alaska and will be transporting a few guns with me through Canada. Most likely a lever rifle, shotgun and possibly a 6" Blackhawk. I was wondering if any of you have experience bringing guns into Canada or how long the permit process takes. Once you have your...

For my entire professional life I have always dipped into my own pocket $$ to make sure I had a separate set of magazines (clearly marked) for training and those I use for duty carry. I do shoot my carry magazines (for confidence in my gear) but they NEVER get dropped or touch the ground...

Was in the LGS yesterday looking for .22 ammo. Came across a Sig 1911 Target Master Elite in .40 cal. It was a great feeling gun that begged to come home with me. Its now sitting on my work bench in pieces soaking up some frog lube. Although I am not new to Sig by any means, I am new to the...

Took my daughter with me for a ride out to the LGS today to check on my order for a new Glock 42 (.380). Unfortunately I am number 52 on the list! While looking in the show case, my daughter pointed out a "cute" little auto. As it just happened to be, the "cute" little gun was a new stainless...

My son who recently turned 18 surprised me the other day by asking if we could go out and shoot some trap. I used to be a very competitive shooter and traveled extensively shooting trap. Today we went out to the local range and watched some of the Winter Grand finish up and shot a few rounds...

Hey guys-- I just picked up my new Sig 556 Rifle and have a couple of questions that I could not find the answers to in the instruction book. Hopefully some of you might have some answers. The rifle is a 556 Classic with Swiss Stock. 1. On the gas block (part #214) on the bottom of the...

Got a call from the LGS that my two tone Sig 229 was in after a 14 month wait. While looking over the inventory found a Walther P22 in the used section that looked new for $235. My son has been bugging me for one so we bought it. I think I am more excited about that find that finally getting...

Went to the Base Exchange today and they had a 10% off sale on a SCAR 17. Out the door price would have been $2700. Did I pass on a good deal? :eek:

I recently bought a Ruger SA .22/.22 mag which came with two cylinders. Can I shoot all .22 (long, LR or shorts) out the .22 mag cylinder like a .38 sp/.357 or .44 sp/.44 mag? If I can do this, what is the point of the two cylinders?

The local PX had a 10% off sale on all .22s w no sales tax. I could not pass up a nice little Sig 1911.22. We took it to the range last weekend and had a great time with it. No malfunctions, not fussy with ammo and both my 17 year old son and 15 year old daughter loved shooting it. Down side...

I was given a bunch of this ammo. It is brand new and says steel cases made in Russia. Anyone know anything about this and how dirty it might be?

I have a 51/2" super blackhawk. I like the bianchi 111 cyclone crossdraw holster but can't find it for the SBH in the correct size. I have no problem going to a 6" but can't find that either. Does anyone know of a lined crossdraw comparable to the 111 cyclone (quality and price)? Better yet...

Gentlemen, I am hoping to get some information from you Colt guys. A relative recently passed and in his possessions (which I have not put eyes on) is what is described as a firearm (pistol) with the markings "US Armed Forces Automatic Pistol" and shows "Model of 1911A1 X5898 Caliber 45" and...

Went looking for a $8.00 scope mount today and ended up with a new Sig 556 xi rifle. Anyone have any good or bad experience with this or the other 556 line. I liked the pop up sights on this model over the others. Figured it was not going to get any cheaper than than the $1100 so bought it...
