Hypothetically of course, what would make a 1911 run or seem to run fully auto (similar to the trigger speed assisted by a slide fire stock)? I'm not looking to alter a 1911 to become such, but am curious what general methods exist. Following is a list of potential methods/questions I have: 1)...

While running my S&W 60 today, PMC .357 Mag factory loads spit powder or lead shavings or something of the sort back into the left side of my face --powerfully enough to break the skin -- and dripped blood all over my shirt. I hadn't experienced this phenomenon with this (or any) revolver before...

We all know the popular guns, and no doubt we own a few ourselves. But what about those off-brand sleepers? What handgun(s) do you like/own that most shoppers would quickly pass by at the counter because they've either never heard of the gun or they only buy guns pictured in fancy magazine ads...

One of my favorite things to do is practice with a .22 LR pistol that is exactly the same (or pretty darn close) to a centerfire counterpart. That way I'm using the same weight, grip, trigger, and manual of arms, but spending far less money to shoot it :cool: As far as semi's go, conversion...

It's not uncommon to find a body looking for a .22 LR handgun. For instance, when looking for a combat style plinker, the Walther P-22 or Sig Mosquito are often the subject of interest. Then the question gets asked: "So how's the quality on these guns? I've heard some bad things from other...

I'm a sucker for rare things. (except for meats, I like my protein cooked) Show us your handguns that are unique or very hard to find and tell us about it. (if it's readily available on an auction site, it doesn't belong in this thread :p) Here's one of my personal favorites: Astra Constable...

Which best describes the gun dealers in your area...

Do you prefer a SA, DA/SA, or DAO trigger? Or do you lean more towards the trigger pull on a traditional striker fired pistol like the Glock or XD -- What is the consensus name for that style of trigger anyway? Seems like a different name is given for it by different manufacturers... At any...

Looking for your preference on a mid-sized metal (preferably steel, but alloy qualifies) framed pistol chambered in 9MM. Not interested in compact or full-sized frames or other chamberings for this discussion. The Beretta Cougar, Browning Hi-Power, CZ75 Compact and/or P01, Magnum Research Baby...

While I admit that some indoor ranges are poorly lit, I just don't ever find myself in a shooting situation when plain old sights don't work just fine for me. That being said, I've never felt the urge to spend $100+ for night sights on a gun. What am I missing? Also, what is the preferred...

I did a quick search on this sub-forum and came up with nothing. Can someone give me a quick run-down on what exactly will be banned if a non-specific President and congress made this law permanent as has been indicated would be done by potential non-specific individuals? What does "permanent"...

If you could only own one of each, what would it be and why? This can really make you think...I myself am torn between three combos, although the shotgun stays the same in each scenario: Option 1: H) Ruger Blackhawk .357Mag (Solid build, powerful, ammo versatility & availability) R) Marlin...

Did some basic searching and came up empty. I'm looking for some advice and information on rifled shotguns. Real basic stuff. I have a shotgun for Cowboy Action and one for Trap. I'm just trying to learn more about some of the other uses and types of shotguns and I have seen rifled shotguns and...

For those who enjoy shooting this round, what is your favorite all around non-pocket .380 ACP pistol? Consider history, ingeniousness, aesthetics, reliability, capacity, accuracy, manageability, take-down, price, and value. Add those all up and narrow it down!

Recently picked up a brand NIB Marlin Camp 9 and I love it. With the cost of ammo rising these days it might be a good idea for Marlin to try their luck at the 9mm carbine market again because I bet there are others who, like me, would choose a Marlin over a Hi-Point, Kel-Tec, Beretta, or Ruger...

Say hello to my little 9MM South American friends... Don't get me wrong. I'm a huge fan of firearms "made in the USA" -- as my main match CAS guns are nothing but. However, bless those South Americans for making fantastic firearms that I can actually afford!

Currently I own only one 9MM handgun - a Stoeger Cougar. It's my no frills, low recoil, work all the time, cheap to buy, and cheap to shoot handgun. Love it. Now I want something with class and history. I want a Hi-Power. But I've only got room for one in the safe ('cause I gotta save up for a...

Doing a little market research for a friend on what to offer customers at his store... List your opinion regarding the top 5 compact 9x19 handguns for civilian concealed carry. (Please, no medium or large frame firearms and later threads on this topic will be created for .40 S&W and .45 ACP so...

OK - I'm curious to know - seems like PlayboyPenguin owns every gun known to man. Rather than list them all, if you had to get rid of all but the top 10 - what would you keep? (and why on the top 5?) As always, post the pics too! :D
