Out of curious, how often and where do you lubrication your revolver (without a detail strip)?

Does anyone have any recommendations for storing handguns in an environment that won't promote corrosion? I don't want them sitting out in the open getting dusty. I know a lot of people are opposed to open cell foam cases. Are they okay if I put the handgun inside a silicone bore sock first and...

All, I don't know too much about suppressors except for the fact that I want one. :D Likely would mount it to a Sig MK25, CZ 75, HK45C, Beretta 92, Kimber Desert Warrior, or hell even a HK Mark 23 (too many choices for my next purchase). Any suggestions? Why do people buy 9mm suppressors when...

Winchester is still making the old 115 grain 9mm Silvertip under the Super-X line. Does anyone know why they still sell an outdated bullet design for $1.00 a round when better options exist (HST, Gold Dots, Ranger T, etc.)? I like the Silvertip because it is dead reliable in feeding and...

This has been bothering me for a while now. I have a very heavily cosmolined semi-auto pistol. Through the magic of break cleaner and mineral spirits, the handgun is totally clean of oil and grease. When I reassemble, should I oil just the specified points and moving parts and call it good? Or...

Pretty well versed in ballistics, but I seem to be missing something here. For the longest time, most people recommended 9mm loadings in +P, yet rarely do I see mention of +P loadings in .45 ACP. The pressure increase between +P and the standard loading in both calibers is roughly 9%. What is...

Out of curiosity, for those who carry a Glock 19 IWB (or another easier method), how big (in a nice way :D) are you? I'm wondering if it might be a little big for me.

Does anyone have some photos of tritium nightsights new and nightsights after a decade or other long period of time? Not quite sure if these sights that came with a handgun need to be replaced. They seem a bit dim.

Does anyone have recommendations for earplugs that do not fully enter the ear canal yet still provide a decent dB reduction (required because of medical reason)?

I like Ranger-T and HST, but as most know Ranger-T is not sold to public retailers. It's "restricted" to Law Enforcement. It looks like the flow of Ranger-T ammo has ceased at the major online resellers. Anyone know a good source and maybe a reason for the shortage (I'm thinking a crackdown by...

I just picked up a Birchwood Casey silicone rag and I swear this thing is dry as a bone. It seemed like it had nothing compared to the G96 silicone cloth (no weird smell however!). Out of curiosity, should I skip the rag? What do y'all use after casual handling of a gun to remove fingerprints...

I would say that a good majority of the gun owners I encounter have great trigger discipline. When did the idea of keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot become standard practice? I was wondering since I just stumbled upon this WWII photo...

Out of curiosity, when using the slide lock to manually lock the slide back on a semi-auto, should upwards force be applied before racking the slide backwards, or should you line up the slide lock with the notch in the slide and then apply an upwards force. A question out of pure curiosity.

I stumbled upon this story today about a gentleman who used a Remington 1875 clone in a self-defense shooting. http://texaschlforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=26390&hilit=VCDL+robbery At one point, the trigger breaks on the clone and according to the story: "But the gun was a single action, so...

After some discussion with others on this forum, I've decided on using a CLP to clean my guns. The instructions on the bottle are a little unclear. 1. Apply to mechanisms and metal surfaces. 2. Allow a few minutes or more (even overnight) for penetration and cleaning action to occur. 3. With...

Hey all, I'm really anal about keeping tools, guns, etc. in good condition. I'm particularly worried about rusting and what to and not oil (for protection) on handguns. I know which contact points and metal to metal pieces need to be cleaned and lubricated with a high grade oil (on Glocks...
