How do I re-insert the bolt of a Winchester Model 52 (.22 target rifle)? I got it out by closing the bolt while holding down the trigger, then pushing the trigger forward and opening the bolt. It doesn’t go back in that way…pushing the trigger forward lowers the sear(?) slightly, but not...

I've been looking for another inexpensive shooter to pick up and have noticed the P-1s that SOG is advertising on their website. I know these aren't P-38s issued during the war but are post-war production. Anyone familiar with them? Approximately when they were made and were they issued to the...

I saw this posted on a Yahoo list by Jack Fuselier. He is a superb gunsmith from a family of gunsmiths. He has been around for a long time, now in his 70s and does a lot of 1911 work. I thought his comments on this pistol would be of interest to 1911 fans...

The long-awaited 10,000 Bulgarian Makarovs are finally coming in. Southern Ohio Gun just got 2,200 of them. J&G Sales updated their website today to say that they are expecting theirs anyday now and they are taking backorders. If you want one, now is your chance. Price is $129.95...

J&G Sales just posted on the Makarov forum that they'll have Maks by the last week of this month. $129.95 Says they'll post on their website as soon as the arrive.

Pocket Pistol comparion Someone asked recently about a size comparion of a P-32 and an Autauga. Kel-Tec has a nice table that compares all the small .32 pocket pistols. Some of the Autauga info. was inaccurate initially, I e-mailed them with info. from the owner's manual and they made some...

Finally made it to the range with the Titanium 850 CIA I bought last month. I sent it back to Taurus before even shooting it because it was so tight, the forcing cone was touching the cylinder face and was scraping against it when opening and closing the cylinder. This also caused the trigger to...

I posted a couple of weeks ago on my latest purchase - a Taurus Model 850 Titanium CIA. Noticed a big problem right off the bat, it was so tight that the forcing cone was scraping against the cylinder face and scratching across it when I opened and closed the cylinder. The trigger locked up a...

Just picked up my new Taurus 850 Titanium CIA within the past hour, dealer called & said it was in and I hustled over there. I think I may be the first on TFL to own a titanium 850 CIA, nobody else has reported owning one. Did a cursory examination because I was in a hurry. It is very light...

I was planning on getting the Taurus 850 Titanium CIA in the next week or so and just got to thinking about the fact that this one is ported. I've never owned/shot a ported revolver and was wondering about the downside of porting. Is there a blinding flash that comes out of the ports that could...

If there are some of you out there that are interested in getting a Makarov, they will hopefully be available very soon from some major distributors. There was a posting on the Makarov forum over 2 months ago (and posted here too) that an importer, PW Arms of Redmond, WA was about to release...

Saw one of these today at a local gun shop. It was $400. Doesn't seem out of line because it's titanium. What did those of you who own one pay? Or what has anyone seen these going for? The titanium version of this gun has been discussed before but as I recall, very few folks actually owned...

Found an interesting site for you Seecamp owners. It is the website of P&R Gun Sales but appears to be devoted mainly to Seecamp pistols. At the bottom of the page there is a link to a history of the L.W. Seecamp company apparently written by Larry Seecamp. http://www.seecamp32.com/index.html...

Got my new issue of "Handguns" yesterday. They had a review of a S&W model 66 with a 3.25" barrel and a "High Vis" front site. Wow! Great looking gun. I've got a 66 with a 4" barrel but that 3.25" barrel is just right.

Kel-Tec has revised their website, the last one wasn't very good. It looks to be still in progress. The P-40 isn't listed under their products, discontinued??? or maybe they are still working on the site. http://www.kel-tec.com

I was at the gunshow here in Austin yesterday and started looking at .22 semi-autos. I thought I might get one later this summer but don't have any experience with any of them. This would strictly be for fun - plinking, target practice, etc. No competition, concealment, etc. Would prefer to buy...

I saw on another forum that the 10 round Kel-Tec P-32 magazines are finally available. The guy that posted it talked to Carolyn, the P-32 gunsmith. These magazines have never been available until now but they have been on KT's website for a couple of years. They are $25. The extra length of...

FYI - For you few Autauga .32 owners out there. R.J. Hedley now makes front and back pocket holsters for the Autauga .32. I got mine today and it is top notch as I expected. For those not familiar with his holsters, he specializes in pocket holsters for mini guns like the Seecamp, Kel-Tec P-32...

A friend of mine can't make the gunshow this weekend in Austin and wanted me to see about getting him a magazine for his lightweight Colt Commander. I would guess the gun is 15+ years old if that makes a difference. I'm not familiar with Colts and wanted to get some opinions. I assume I should...

I took my new E. German Mak to the range today, hadn't shot it yet. I just had time for 50 rounds of S&B. It shot great, no problems of any kind. My groups were good (for me anyway) but a little high, don't know if it was the gun or me, probably me. It was a real pleasure to shoot. I bought some...
