    Wilson's "NEW" tactical sights...

    Has anyone seen up close, Wilson's new tactical sights? They look like what Novak makes, only in a "stealthier" version (if that makes any sense :) --no pictures on Wilson's web page yet) I'm looking for a new set of sights for my Kimber 1911 and the Wilson's wouldn't require any additional...

    Glock biting my hand

    I have a Glock 19 which I absolutely love. Problem is that the slide cycles so close to the fleshy part of my hand that I usually leave the firing line bleeding. I've tried gripping the gun lower but it still tends to settle itself over the course of a couple of rounds. The best solution I've...
