I caught the last few minutes of this show on SPIKE network last Saturday. Has anyone else seen this, and is it a series, or what? The main sponsor seemed to be Ruger, because everybody on the show was wearing Ruger gear, and the pistols they shot were Rugers. The concept seemed to be that the...

Brief mention was made of this pistol in the new American Rifleman, the "Top 10 Handguns of All Time" article. It was the first time I had heard of it. A google search found very little. The Walther America home site has nothing about it. Wikipedia has a short paragraph about it, they say...

Never mind, thread already running.

I did a search on this particular question, but came up with no specific answers, so I'll pose the question here. For those of you who "open carry", what type of holster do you use? Do you prefer a thumb-break retention strap, or just a tension-screw on an open-top holster? The only...

Mike Zukerman / WFAA-TV Detectives remove evidence at the crime scene. Also Online Justin Farmer reports 8400 Spence Court North Richland Hills NORTH RICHLAND HILLS — An elderly North Richland Hills woman was shot and killed at her own front door Sunday night. The victim's husband told...

I need info on good gunshops and shooting ranges in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Specifically I need gunshops who carry a good variety of "concealable" type handguns. And shooting ranges friendly to handgun practice. Thanks "ahead" for any help. Walter

in the Dallas Morning News today. http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/localnews/stories/080907dnmetammo.37f6a54.html It's nothing most of here didn't know, I think, but it was interesting to see it on the front page of a major newspaper. Walter

I'd like some recommendations on dependable, quick-handling CO2 handguns, either BB or pellet. I seemed to have developed a feral cat infestation lately, and I just can't very well start blasting the things with my .45acp, so I thought I'd try and persuade them to leave my property gently...

Wilson makes a checkered front grip strap, offered in stainless or blued, that is a "drop-in" part for full-size, or commander 1911's. Does anyone make one of these to fit a Springfield Micro-Compact? Or could I buy the one from Wilson and cut it to fit? And how would it look, "cut-to-fit"...

I picked up a couple of boxes of Hornady TAP FPD 230 gr. JHP, didn't realize they were "+P". Anybody think it would be unsafe to shoot them in a Series 70 Government Model Colt? The gun was built in '71, is pretty much stock, and has maybe 6000 rounds through it. What do you guys think...

I've read some about MIM parts in some 1911s, and I am curious as to which parts are actually MIM. One more question, how hard is it to find machined or forged parts to replace MIM parts? Walter

What do you think? I've got the itch for a new CCW gun, and I am waivering between a SIG 229 Equinox or an H K USP Compact V1. My main carry gun now is a CZ RAMI .40, which I really like, but I just want to step up a level. Anybody experienced with both guns? Any particular points I should...

I was going to post this in another thread about ammo, but I decided this was not worth hi-jacking another thread over. However, it is something I want to say. I bought and shot my first boxes of Win. White box ammo a couple of weeks ago. My usual is UMC 230 gr. ball, but I couldn't find it...

I want tritium sights installed on my carry gun, a CZ Rami .40. I can get the sights from PT NightSights. My question is, how hard is it to drift the dovetailed front sight off the slide, without damaging the slide? I have looked at various front-sight-pushers, (B-Square and Williams) at Midway...

I'm seriously considering going to a compact or sub-compact 1911 .45 ACP for a CCW. Does anyone have any recommendations? I'd like to stay under 1k, price-wise, but that's not set in stone. Which makers should I look hard at, and who should I stay away from? I'm a 1911 fan for many years...

The December issue of SHOOTING TIMES has a somewhat favorable review of the CZ RAMI . I've been carrying one of these guns for about a year now, and I love the gun, but I think this is the first favorable article I have seen on it. I know it's a fairly new gun, and there have been a few...

'gearyr' posted a request for load data for a Nosler 180 gr. bullet. Smokey Joe replied that if gearyr wanted Nosler bullet data he really should get a Nosler manual. My question is this: Isn't loading data pretty much the same regardless of the brand of the bullet, as long as the bullets are...

Here's a pic of a new rifle of mine. It's a design my brother has been working on for years, and this is just one more prototype. He does have patents on several different action functions. I am still working on a "load " for this one. I have one in .22-250 that will shoot five rounds into...

have a good 'bullet-powder' combination that is getting good results? I've been trying the Hornady 150 gr. SST with varying amounts of IMR 4350, but I am not getting what I had hoped for. Does anybody have any suggestions about another type of powder? I'm new to the "magnum" realm, my previous...

I am babysitting a 92FS for someone who has to be out of the country for a year or two and can't take it with them. I have taken it to the range three times, with three different types of ammo, and all three times it did the same thing. The gun does not eject the empty cartridge case, it stuffs...
