I have a number of semi autos. Some are striker fired. Some are DAO and some are DA/SA. My most recent purchase a Smith 5906 has a buttery smooth, no hitch of any kind and no hint of anything else other than butter sliding against butter DA trigger pull . I was blown away. I have two or three...

Thought I'd give Alien Gear holsters a try. Bought four of the original cowhide hybrid holsters for four different guns at a total cost of $117. They have a very good deal if you buy two holsters at one time so I bought two pair. The kydex is a little thicker than what is used on most hybrids...

Where can I buy some reasonably priced brass. 40 or 45 Once fired of course.

These are .452 diameter 250 grain XTP JHP bullets. I'd like to run them through a Taurus 24/7 Pro which has a 4.1 inch barrel. Basically I just want to get rid of these at the range having learned that 230 grain or a little lighter and .451 diameter is normal for a 45acp pistol. My Hornady book...

Been carrying my Thunder 380 for a couple weeks and noticed body sweat had caused the decocker to rust to the point of not working. So I field strip the gun, lub and remove the decocking lever and since I'm in there I remove/clean the firing pin. Unfortunately the "manual safety stop pin"...

I had a couple hundred .223 cases primed with CCI 450 magnum primers waiting to have bullets seated. They were in a box on the floor of my garage which got flooded. The cases got water in them and sat that way for about three days. They have been dried since. Did the water damage the primers...

Been looking for another gun last couple weeks and mentioned a couple of my shopping foreys to the wife. "Anothe gun? Don't you have enough guns already." Yada, yada. I'm thinking to myself, Yes I have enough guns but it's not about how many I already have. I just want another one. Couple days...

It's been four months since I bought my last gun. Since that time I've been thinking about what I would like to have next and six or seven different ones have been considered. The Smith Wesson 3913 has never entered my head at any time as a possible next purchase. Last night I had a vivid dream...

I've got to admit I get a little weary of reading some peoples assertions that only 40 or 45 caliber is adequate for personal protection. My local paper reported last week that a local man was attacked by two thugs, one wielding a tire iron. The man defended himself with a 9mm semi auto. One...

I always carry IWB at 4 o'clock. For the past couple years it's been a variety of semi autos all of them varying shades of heavy. Last couple months it's been a Sigma 40ve with 14 + 1 rounds of 40 caliber. I don't know what the total weight is but it's pretty heavy. Before that it was a CZ 40P...

I know all of you guys and gals are always very careful with your firearms. I too am always careful with my firearms. At least I thought I was. Thanksgiving day. The wife and I are at the our daughter's house for the traditional holiday dinner. She's married and has three young sons. Great...

I'm having trouble getting the area around the forcing cone clean. The powder residue that accumulates there just doesn't want to come off. I have this problem with all my revolvers. I just spent over forty minutes scrubbing one gun with a brass bristle brush using Ballistol, Hoppes #9, Kroil...

I'm looking for once fired 250 Savage brass. Anybody got a source.

Looking at a used RIA 1911 in 45acp at Gander Mountain priced at $329. Previous owner put Kimber grips on it for some reason but the problem is the front sight. Someone has done some filing on it. I'm wondering if the front sight can be replaced or is the front sight on an RIA part of the slide...
