Just wanted to share some experience on fitting brand new hand to 1851 navy, after the original one had spring broken. It is quite easy and only took me about 30 minutes to get a perfect fit and timing with absolutely zero previous experience with it. If you have the original hand, it makes it...

Pietta 1851 Navy used to produce solid clicks while rotating cylinder at half cock, but now it is spinning quite freely making barely audible clicking sounds... Action is still working, is this a concern?

Looking for wrench for Pietta 1851 Navy .36 cal

Just recently picked up Pietta 1851 Navy, wedge is pain in the butt. Could not find brass rod, and tried to hammer it out with wood and plastic with no luck. Wood was a real bad idea, as it splintered between wedge and the spring, and jammed it even worse. Plastic just gets deformed and...

These forums is where my affection with handguns first began. This is the very place where I asked that one first question - which gun should I get? This is where I got my first baby - new .45 Springfield Loaded, full size 1911-A1. I thought it was going to be my only handgun - silly me ;)...

I have seen quite a few gas guns back in Europe that are made to shoot ammunition with gas and unable to shoot any projectiles. I was wondering in there's such ammo for common handgun calibers here, in the US... I searched the net - can't find nothing of the sort...

I want to find an outdoor range around LA where you can bring your own stuff to shoot... Vegetables, monitors, beer cans, etc. The only outdoor range that I know about so far is Angeles Shooting Range, and they don't let you bring anything, you can only shoot steel swingers. Thank you!

Which .45 do you favor?

Please recommend some top performers for this gun. Thank you.

I saw a sorted list of available pistol carthridges (both revolver and semi-auto) on these forums but can not find it... Can you compile such a list for me? Most powerfull first, from .50 AE to .22 short. Thanks.

I currently have a .45 ACP 1911, and I was thinking about getting a wheel gun in the same caliber. It would be nice if I only had to worry about getting ammo in one caliber. What do you guys think about model 625? I am new to revolvers and never owned one. I have shot on numerous occasions...

Is there rifle with the same legacy? Maybe M1A? Or Mauser?

Someone told me that 40 grain bullet is too light to penetrate if I use JHP. Does it mean I am better off using FMJ bullets for defense and keep the JHPs for varmint hunting? Will JHP bullet shatter with minimal penetration? Keep in mind that 22 Magnum bullet is different from 'normal' 22...

Everytime I go to the range I shoot 9mm and .45 ACP rounds from full sized handguns, and 22 Magnum rounds from my rifle. The rifle launches 40 grain JHP bullet at nearly 2000 fps at the muzzle... Do you think the damage caused by 9mm round is adequate to the damaged caused by 22 Magnum JHP...

What type of gun do you ENJOY shooting more? Forget about durability, capacity, and combat applications. I am talking about range... You get to go to the range, and shoot as many rounds as you want from any one type of gun. What gun is the most blast to shoot for you?

When checking handgun forums I always find those remarks that say that handgun bullet energy levels are far beyond rifle bullet... Where one draws the border? Can you compare damage from 9mm bullet fired from a 5" barrel with damage produced by a 22 Magnum JHP bullet fired from a 22" barrel if...

The little gun shop that is the only one close to me, does not have any selection of ammo... I want to have a little ammo supply for my 45 - both JHP and FMJ. All I have now is some PMC FMJ ammo, and Winchester Silvertips. While Silvertips are still considered by some to be one of the premium...

I am buying ammo for my toys from time to time. Just to have a little supply at home. While ordering another 50 round box of factory ammo on one known website I noticed that Winchester Black Talon is the most expensive ammo they got. I understand that it is no longer made, and looks very cool...

I am considering getting one of those 10mm Delta Elite guns. Anybody here have experience with one? How much one should cost in never used condition?

What is the closest thing to an assault rifle that you can still buy legally today? I am not talking about pre-ban rifles...
