    Striker-fired,,,…safest?

    In the recent issue of American Rifleman,John Treakle, states the ‘glock’ system of striker is safer because the striker is only partially held, or loaded as he puts it.lHe claims that fully spring loaded strikers are inherently more dangerous, and liable for accidental discharge. He glosses...

    Jammed Kahr CW45

    On my new to me Kahr CW45, the slide has jammed with a cartridge in the chamber. I can only move the slide back about 1/4”. The mag is out, At a loss here. My only idea is to try to wiggle the cartridge with a wood dowel, but not sure if that is the best idea. I appreciate any help.

    Kahr CW 45

    Just got one, barely broke in,,,,And this is one of the sweetest guns I own..The trigger seems very sensitive and light,,,accuracy, with a fiber optic, is better than I am..And I’m not sure how they’ve made the recoil so manageable.

    Leather, the military style....Are they considered ‘open’ carry or ‘concealed”. In Michigan open carry is legal. A handgun can be carried in a case that looks like a cell phone case, on the belt, for example....A leather full flap holster obviously has a gun in it... So which is it...open or...

    Need help finding a certain holster.

    Last week I read a post by a guy about a holster he had, It was leather, OWB, and what he really liked about it was that it tilted the grip on the gun more into his body than away from it so it was less likely to print, I looked at the web site, was going to order one later....forgot which...

    Handgun accuracy?? How determined?

    I’ve seen people make comments such as ‘my gun shoots 2 inches low and to the right at 7 yards” for example.. Is this offhand? They never say. From a rest, most of my handguns are very accurate. Shooting offhand is another story,,,,

    38 Special semi-auto..??

    Dumb question, I know. And I've seen the answer somewhere but can't find it now. Why so few 38 Special Semi-auto's?? There are one or two, but what is it about this round that makes it not acceptable for semi-auto use?

    Ok to shoot 38 Spec in 357 magnum??

    I'm looking at a used S & W revolver in 357 magnum. From all the ammo that was stored with it, seems the previous owner (now deceased) only shot 38 special through it. Is that okay?

    What is a 1911?

    Yes, I know what a 1911 is, but I'm trying to come up with a one, two or three sentence thing that acurately describes a 1911 type. At the gun show when Bubba says "Yup, that's a '11, fer surr.", How can you tell one at ten paces without picking the gun up?:confused:

    High Point semi-auto's

    NOT AS A CC!!, so don't start flaming me with "would you stake your life on a $99 gun?". REPEAT, NOT AS A CONCEALED CARRY OR HOME DEFENSE GUN!! OKAY? These are fun guns to shoot, they are fairly solid, reasonably accurate, and have a lifetime warranty. You can fine tune the trigger alittle...
