    PRP reduced trigger and sear springs XD9

    Hello- In lieu of spending full amount for PRP trigger kit mod, I bought the reduced trigger and sear springs for the XD9. In the past I was able to switch out the stock trigger spring for the PRP reduced one myself, but consider replacing the sear spring beyond my mechanical ability. In...

    Need advice-getting back into reloading

    Hi- Haven't been here for a while due to various reasons, and no-I haven't been in the 'pokey'. But I haven't reloaded for three years and wanted to get back into it, but in a limited manner due to present circumstances beyond my control. I've come full circle as I started with a Lee Loader...

    Does your Para-Ordnance hammer drop from half-cock position?

    I've seen that with the P13-45 that if one pulls the hammer back very slightly it places firearm in the so-called 'half-cock' position, but I have noticed that it will indeed drop down from there to lightly strike the firing pin merely if one pulls the trigger. Have any of you noticed this...

    Question about price for a slightly used Para-Ordnance

    Was wondering what one should expect to pay in a private sale of an all steel blued Para P13-45 in excellent condition (approximate 98% cosmetic-only a few minor scratches), with two 13-rd rebuild kits and one 10-rd magazine. Probably less than 250 rounds through it. According to Para CS, gun...

    Marlin 60 .22 semi-automatic rifle - bore sighting?

    Is it possible to manually bore sight a Marlin 60? Seems that it's done with bolt action rifles with little problem. If it can be done with a Marlin 60, can it be done without difficulty? Is it worth it? In the alternative, I was thinking of just mounting the scope, leveling the rifle and...

    .22 short or long in a Marlin 60?

    :confused: I have a new Marlin 60 and I'm not surprisingly running out of .22lr ammo for it. Getting additional ammo is a PITA. Here is what the owner's manual says about shooting other cartridges out of it: "WARNING: Your rifle is a self-loading .22 caliber designed for .22 Long Rifle High...

    What scope for a Marlin 60 under $100?

    Can anyone here recommend a traditional scope for under $100 for a Marlin 60 (.22lr) rifle? Will be shooting out to 100 yards-mainly for target practice. At my age, I am finding it difficult to focus looking at the front sight, even with my glasses, which are progressives. Looking for a 'best...

    CZ-75B Condition 1 or Condition 2?

    I have a CZ-75B in .40 and wanted opinions on the best condition to holster it, whether it be Condition 1 or 2, ONLY. I'm not interested in condition 3. I ask this question because there is no grip safety, as in a 1911. So, AFAIK, one is seriously compromised compared to a traditional 1911...

    POLL: Real-life SD situations where you pointed it and they knew it

    This is NOT a poll where your identity is revealed. Curious as to how many CCW, NON-LAW ENFORCEMENT individuals have, in a self-defense or of others real-life scenario, DRAWN their weapons and actually POINTED their weapon at another person, and the other person was aware weapon was pointed at...

    Suggestions re most effective SD .22LR rounds for NAA mini-revolver 1 1/8" BBL

    I know, it's only .22 caliber. But I'm getting one, so please do not try to discourage. Besides, I have other guns. I can hardly think of a more concealable weapon at such a good price, and currently on sale in my area. The sale is limited to the .22LR version with 1 and 1/8" BBL. Are HP...
