    Shield 2.0 45 FTF

    I have a Shield 2.0 in 45. It is very accurate and reliable except for Sig hollow points. I have had several FTF with this ammo. The spent shell ejects but the following round gets stuck on the feed ramp. I have had no issues with any other ammo. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Flying with Handgun

    I know about the locked hard case my question is this: Is a hard plastic case like a Sig case that CAN be locked with a padlock through holes in the case acceptable for the airlines. Then this case would be put in one's suitcase. My question is only this: Is a hard plastic case secured with a...

    Paddle Release

    I am a weirdo I admit it. I am left handed and really like the paddle release style pistol. I have a HK VP9 and a Walther PPS. What other pistol particularly compact or sub compact have a paddle release magazine?

    4473

    I went to pick up my latest purchase a XDm elite 9mm and was confused by the new 4473. In the sex box there were 3 choices: Male, Female and Nonbinary. Would someone maybe a Nonbinary out there please explain what a Nonbinary is. Am I just an old fool or as our country gone insane?

    Steel Case

    I fired some Winchester Steel Case ammo in my HK VP9SK today. The fourth or fifth round did not eject. I could not pry the spent shell out and needed to use a wooden dowel to remove it. I'll clean and fire good brass tomorrow to make sure there was no damage. Has anyone else had a similar...

    Best 40 S&W CC

    Looking for suggestions on the best 40cal for CC. I want something the size of a Glock 43. Reliability is first, round count second, accuracy third in importance. Please do NOT denigrate, that word is not racist, 40cal or try to convince me 9mm is just as good. Just ideas on the best gun.

    Light Strike

    I have a Steyr 40c. It has 700 trouble free rounds. Today the first time I pulled the trigger I had a light primer strike. The gun was in battery and had been in a holster for about a month. The primer was struck lightly at the 6 O'Clock position. The round fired when re-chambered. I then fired...

    Found a Unicorn Sig P365

    I went in an Academy Monday morning and there it was a Sig P365. The salesperson who knew as much as my cat about guns said it arrived Sunday night and just went into the case this morning. It was priced at $499. I bought it for 10% less by using a gift card, complicated story, then got another...

    Shield Sights and Trigger Issues

    I have a Shield 45 PC. The first issue it had was the trigger failing to reset. The gun would fire, eject spent shell and chamber a fresh round but the trigger would not reset. It remained locked fully rearward. I also noticed that the sights had moved in fact the front sight had almost fallen...

    Sig P365

    I actually saw and TOUCHED a Sig P365 at a local gun show. My impressions are the gun is small, a little smaller than a Glock 43, maybe too small. 10 rounds is certainly a plus. I was not impressed with the quality of the gun. IMO Sigs made in US are not close to the old German quality. I will...

    Rubber Rings in Bullets?

    I shot my PPS classic 9mm today. It functioned fine 100 rounds without issue. I noticed when the slide was open after the final round in the magazine 2 small rings of a rubber like material near the ejection port. They were about 9mm in diameter and made of some plastic/rubber material. I assume...

    Worst Gun Show Ever

    The frenzy is gone. I went to a local gun show in a town of 50,000 in rural Alabama. It was the WORST show I have ever been to in my 60 years of going to gun shows. There were a good number of vendors the prices were reasonable. But there were no attendees. I went at 2PM and there were maybe 10...

    S&W Shield Safety

    I have a performance center 9mm Shield that had serious issues. The slide was locked back and could not be moved. I sent it back to S&W for repair. 7 weeks later it was returned with "slide deburred" as repair done. It has been 100% reliable since. I have run about 400 rounds of all types of...

The guns were 20% off their MSRP+ prices still making them 10 to 15 percent over good LGS or GunBroker.The armo was 40% off putting it in line with online sellers. My walk away opinión was they deserve to go out of business although...
