So earlier in the year, I decided next year I was going to pick up a DW guardian in 9mm. I thought that was the best compromise of recoil, size, etc... I currently carry a full size 1911 in 45, and occasionally a berretta 86 in 380. I have always hated 380 due to the horrible recoil and...

have a baikal bounty hunter II, and been thinking of switching to the 1897's, since they have come down in price. any serious draw backs?

I am using a lee single stage press. I have this old lee die that says it is a 3 in one. You have to put the primer punch into it and use the bullet seater to hold it down. Take out the seater then take out the punch and set the seater again. It also comes with a resizer that screws into the...

I just got a PW9142L which seems to be a parked champion GI. But springfield doesn't list it anymore, and I have only found a couple of websites that list it at all. How old is this gun if that is what is on the case? When did springfield change out the designation? Is there something...

Other than a 10 rd 22 cal pistol, is there something in a single stack that holds more than 8 rds in a mag, that fits the gun? I know you can buy a 20 rd 1911 mag, that sticks out half a foot. But I was more interested in something that fit flush, or perhapes as bad as the glock extensions that...

Just so it doesn't happen here, there is some joker going around the gun boards selling wire racks from walmart that only cost 4 bucks and selling them as handgun racks for 17 for 1, 30 for 2. that sort of thing. His posts have been shut down on 2 other boards. They do work well as gun racks...

I just e-mailed them. Got mine in last night and only picked it up today. This is the second S&W friendly thing in there. What gives? Anybody know why the NRA decided to change its stance?

I keep borrowing my buddies, and was wondering if there was a good place to get one of these fairly cheap. I guess I have been seeing them local for around 350-380 and was wondering if that was right.

Since the other thread wasn't about this, I will ask. When doing cowboy loads, what brand of powder do you reload with. I looked over accurate's manual, and I will have to put in cardboard or something to pack the powder to the back with, from what I remember, will be almost half the case...

A guy on another board mentioned he had one and it looks like a tommy gun. I found a break down in one of my manuals, but it doesn't say anything about it quality wise. The only things I have found on the web about it were one chat board where they hoped the guy that just got one didn't pay too...

I have the springfield p9, and just started to use it in idpa. I get a little hammer bite from it most times, but with some of the grip changes required by some of the stages, it is now taking skin. I can tell the beaver tail on it is part of the frame, but is there anyway to add on to it, or...

I went to my first idpa match the last month. I noticed that I never saw my gun when I was shooting. I don't know how to explain it, other than I never looked at my sights, and it was mostly point and shoot for me, even out to the 10-15 yard mark. Do the rest of you do this, or do you manage to...

I am wanting a new slide and barrel for my springfield p9. Since they don't "make" them anymore, you can't get them from them, but they say the eaa witness is the same. Can you order direct from them, or is it cheaper to get it else where? Do I go to my local dealer, or is there someplace on...

Let us say what if... Say a neighbor is a WWII vet, or Korean, not really important except it is before 64. And he returned home with say a browning water cooled machine gun and a couple of belts. Let us also say what if he never heard he had to register it in 64 or 5 whenever the time ran...

Weird question? Not really. I was asked by an anti, how my father felt about guns, and how he could have raised someone so into guns. My father didn't like guns, and often refused to allow me to own bb guns or toy guns at all. I usually found a way to get them anyway, but he was very against...

I am looking for something to use for an idpa match, but I don't plan on using this as my regular carry holster. So I need something cheap only for this use. All of my regular carry holsters are cross draw which can't be used in any range(which sucks,) but those are the rules. I have seen the...

Kaylee in the thread about the Aliens small arms, states that it is necessity that drives small arms innovations. I felt this would be an interesting topic for discussion. I disagree, and feel rather it is the need to be able to have a smaller force better armed men do as much damage as a...

Some one mentioned either a cleaner, or a coating you can put on the front of barrels, and cylinders to make it easier to clean them up. The black gunk that accumulates and you have to scrub for a while normally, someone said it just wipes off if you use this stuff. Does anyone remember what it was?

It is and it isn't off topic. There are so many things that are leo, I was just curious what it takes to be a law enforcement agency. I am not talking about faking one, but make one for real. Maybe even federal if it can be done. Imagine the BTFL :) Just wondering what hoops you have to jump...

If I bought a gun safe, does it discount my home owners any? Or am I just giving extra info I don't need to put out there to the insurance company? I mean one of the good size ones with fire protection, not a walmart, or home depot sentry.
