So I pick up my NIB M9 today and take off the grips to slap on the Hogues I got for it. Using my allen key, correct size mind you, the hex slot strips out like soggy wood! So to clarify, it's not the threads that are stripped, it is the "allen/hex hole" on the head of the screw itself that is...

You read the title, I need YOUR input gents! I need to order a new holster by Sunday so I can have it in time for my upcoming range time! Your opinion is appreciated! SEMPER FIDELIS

I'm going to be purchasing an M9 soon, but I just wanted to learn the truth about some rumors I've heard. I've heard that the slide isn't capable of handling hot loaded defensive ammunition. Any truth to these rumors? Everyone has heard about the Navy SEAL taking a slide to the face years...

I really need to fulfill my hunger for a good semi-automatic, CA legal rifle. It seems like my options consist of: M1 Garand, M1A series, M1 Carbine, SKSs', and the Ruger Mini-14. I'm not really looking to break my wallet right now, so the Garand and M1A are probably out of the question. The M1...

Okay, dumb question from a Marine who should probably know better. I'm looking to get a Beretta 92FS and I live in California. Shopping around on the net, I see Beretta 92FS 15 rnd and Beretta 92FS CA legal. Now, is there really a mechanical difference between the two weapons or is it the mags...

Thinking about getting an M1 Carbine for plinking, fun, historical reasons, and for miscellaneous use. Auto Ordnance is making them now, as close to GI as you're going to get without buying an actual GI. Anyone ever handled or shot the Auto Ordnance M1 Carbine? Thoughts, praises, gripes...

I'm going to be be picking up a Beretta 92 FS 9mm soon, and I can't wait! I'm looking into weapons light options for it. The 92 FS doesn't have an integral rail, so I will have to get an adapter or a light with an adapter. For those of you that have weapon lights on your 92 FS, can you post...

I know that you all are about to crucify me for posting something that's probably been asked a million times, but you can't search for XD...it's too short! So I like the idea of the XD in .45 ACP, but I want it in the 5 inch model. Does anyone know if or when that will come out? I'm also trying...

Hello all, it seems as if a person could find out ANYTHING about ANY firearm on this forum, so I figured I'd give this question a shot. A friend of mine asked me to take a look at a "Winchester Model 74 .22 LR", clean it up, test it, etc. According to the internet, this rifle was manufactured in...

Okay, so the other day I'm in my range's shop, and I see that they're selling huge bulk bags of pistol ammo. I was wondering, are they probably reloads from the brass they police up at the range? My concern, is that if they're reloads, I don't know who loaded them, and who's to know if they're...

I'm going to be buying a Beretta 92FS soon, and I want the ability to mount a tactical weapon light (for HD purposes). Can I get the 92FS with a factory accessory rail already on it (ala Glocks, SA XD, etc)? And would it be CA legal (I've heard about this being an M9A1 and I can't really find...

WOW, just took a look at the Charles Daly 1911, looks like you're getting a lot for such a low price. Does anyone have have trigger time on the Charles Daly's? Moans, groans, or praises?

I'm looking to buy a new 1911 and was thinking about a Springfield Armory GI 1911 however, I was wondering if any of you had any alternate 1911 ideas. I'm okay with buying the plain jane GI 1911, but I've heard of some quality issues. What are your guys' idea for a fair priced, all-around good...

I've searched and searched this forum for anything about the SA SOCOM 16. I would like to hear from some people who have some hands-on trigger time with the SOCOM 16. Any bitches, moans, gripes, complaints? Anything you absolutely loved about it?
