Got two of these in the shop yesterday. 8 rnd mag VERY short barrel. Who's had some time with one of these and what were your thoughts? I have read a few comments on barrels that short being unreliable on a 1911, but I have no personal experience to back that up. Any input would be great...

The folks at Google seem to be aligned with the people to don't support us and our 2A views. What is the conservative option? Cheers!

Today I spent some time with this gun. Has the modified fixed choke barrel from the factory. Points great! Smooth as any pump I have handled. Great day of shooting! Carry on!

A customer was in my store Saturday looking for a carry case to transport his sidearm to AK. His choice was a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan. We discussed the gun as well as ammo choices. It felt good and handled well. It was very big. After he left I asked myself " What would I take to...

Still working on the 1100. The bolt will not go forward after the bolt release is pushed up. It moves about 1/4 in and hits something. I have to pop the pins and remove the trigger housing to return the bolt. This issue is what lead me to find the loose feed latch bar (part 43) from my last...

I brought home an older Remington 1100 from the in laws. Inside the receiver there is a flat piece of metal, know as the feed latch. (part 43 in the owners manual) This piece has come loose from the receiver. It appears to have been staked in place when new. How do I get it to stay in place...

I like the LCR. For me the grip feels better than the S&W Bodyguard. Anyone know of a replacement grip for the LCR that keeps the width and thickness and ads some length? Thanks!

I am look at two totally different guns and I am totally hooked on both. Hence the problem, "there can be only one" I have been asking myself all the questions, concealability, capacity, material, history etc. There are great answers for each Let know which you prefer and why. What is it...

I've had this pistol for a few years. Just recently got a new hammer spring and the plunger for the top of the spring. Shoots good now. Someone had tried to remove the barrel bushing the wrong way and it had some nasty marks on the front. Seems like a neat gun. It was a 1943 production...

I have had a chance to look at this gun. Haven't shot it yet. It seems very smooth and tight. Does anyone have any experience or feedback? Thanks!

I have been trying to age my 1100. I bought it used in 95. It was rough, but functioned. The info I see says to use the letter code on the barrel to determine the year of mfg. That's where my problem starts. I tore the thing down and built a slug gun out of it. I no longer have the old barrel...

Awesome, I'll be there! Cheers!

Yesterday on Shooting Gallery Michael Bane showcased various examples of the 1911. One model he showed was made or coated with something designed to be fired "dry". He said it was designed for sandy conditions etc. The gun was very basic, with out a lot of frills. Anyways, it piqued my...

Thanks to all and have a great Christmas!

What is the general thought on storage of AR mags? Loaded or unloaded? I have 4 30rnd mags with 25rnds in each. Am I going to end up with an over compressed spring that won't push up the ammo when needed? Thanks!

Well, I took a ride up to the range to check on zeros. I don't shoot weekly as I used to since it is so hot here in SC. The .308, the .50 black powder and the 12 ga slug gun were all right on the money. I took the dog along so he could run the fields before I shot. He decided to take a dip in...

Hey all, I have a few old doubles without much history. Any recommendations on how to date these old guns? I can post serial #s if that helps. Can't do photos, sorry. I have used the Browning and S&W date info and it has been very helpful. Thanks!

Some of you know what this is. I just completed an Appleseed and have earned my Rifleman. There are a ton of questions on this forum about what is better or worse, faster, stronger, etc, etc, etc. The skills gained at an Appleseed make many of the arguments a moot point. Having or not having...

I'm going to my first Appleseed. I have read most every thing I can find. Who has been there with a scope on a 10/22 and would you prefer that you had Iron Sights? I have seen the aftermarket tech-site that looks like the military adjustable, but I don't have the time or the money to add that...
