Has anybody heard whether or when NAA will be selling the 2 1/2" version of the Sidewinder? I've done some searches on this topic, and can't seem to find much. That might be my answer, but, just wondering if you guys have heard anything.

I recently had 10-Ring install a safety on my Glock 30S. Rather than flicking on and off with a clean snap, the safety is quite mushy. In fact, it seams to engage in three stages. The first stage is the result of some basic wiggle that I notice when I begin to apply some pressure to the...

If I want to teach a class about firearms, but it's not the official Concealed Carry class, do I need a permit or license? I live in Kentucky, and might want to hold seminars in Kentucky and Indiana. I've searched the web for an answer, but only seem to find discussions of the actual CCW...

Let's assume a specific bullet, such as the Golden Saber 230 grain 45 ACP (or any quality ammo). Now let's assume I have two pistols: a Colt 45 Commander with a 4.25" barrel, and a Colt 45 New Agent with a 3" barrel. I've assumed that I should carry my Commander whenever possible, because it...

I have a new 45 ACP Colt Lightweight Commander. I've shot roughly 200-300 rounds through it, a combination of FMJ and JHP. It seems to run fine on the regular pressure 185 grain and 230 grain stuff, but it has occasional feeding problems with 185 +P Golden Sabers...maybe one FTF in 15-20...

Has anybody heard whether Sig has any plans to make a 45 ACP version of the P238 and P938? I'm not trying to start a rumor. I've checked a few forums, and haven't seen anything. I'm just thinking it would be the natural evolution of that series, and I'd sure like to have one for pocket carry...

The staff closed the "Cheaper Than Dirt" thread on 4/3/13 virtually immediately after it was opened. I saw the same thing the OP saw, and actually emailed that company to state my objections to its excessive price-gouging. I had purchased a similar box just a few days earlier for 1/3 the price...

I have a S&W Model 63-4 22LR revolver (5 inch barrell). Would like to install a brass bead front sight and white outline, adjustable rear sight. I tried to find the brass bead on Midway, and Brownell's. I must not be doing the search engines right, cuz I either get a gazillion unrelated...

I just bought a nice, new Colt 45 and was installing some custom grips on it. The new grips came with their own bushings and screws, so I proceeded to remove the bushings from the frame of the Colt. The top bushings on both sides of the frame came out ok, but the bottom bushings on both sides...

In another thread, I'm seeking advice on my choice between a Colt XSE and a Dan Wesson. But this current thread is a different question. I'm thinking about buying my son a Ruger SR1911. The only thing is, we aren't real keen on the 8 round mag for this pistol, the way it sticks way out the...

I'm about to buy my first 45 ACP. I have several 9mm and 357 mags, and assorted other pistols. I've tentatively narrowed my 45 choice to one of these three pistols: 1. Colt XSE Govt, 5", Blued Finish 2. Colt XSE Commander, 4.25", Stainless Finish 3. Dan Wesson Guardian, 4.25", Duty Finish I...

I'm thinking about getting the Dan Wesson 1911 Guardian. I've thought about the many different aspects of 9mm vs 45, and don't want to get into that caliber debate. I would, however, like to know how much difference in recoil I'm likely to feel between these choices. Assume the same weapon...

I will be asking Tooltech to install 3-Dot Night Sights on my new S&W Model 627 2 5/8" (new version of the "Bloodworks" revolver). Regarding the front sight, they tell me I can choose between 1) removal of the original front red ramp sight so they can insert a Patridge front sight with the...

I recently purchased a Smith & Wesson revolver that has the Matte Stainless finish. I've always preferred their Satin Stainless, and am thinking about sending the revolver to Smith & Wesson to have it refinished. But I'm also wondering which type of finish would be easiest for me polish...

Anybody know who made these grips, and where I can buy them...? Thanks.

I have a 7-round 386 NightGuard, which I really like. But I've noticed that the black finish isn't especially tough. I've put a few small dings in it without much effort. I'm thinking about getting an additional 357 magnum, an 8-round S&W 627 in stainless steel, because I'm wanting something...

I'm thinking about get the S&W 627 "Bloodworks" revolver, but will want to put night sights on it, hopefully with something low-profile to reduce snagging when drawing from my belly band. Any ideas on what brand and type of night sights that would be?

Does anybody know whether the S&W 43c (22LR) has the same long trigger pull as the the 351c (22Mag), or is the 43c easier because it's 22 LR? EDIT: I meant to post this in the revolver forum. If anybody knows how to move it, that would be welcome.

I have thumb-safety version of the S&W 9c. The safety isn't loose in the sense that it's defective, but I want it tighter. It often flips off while carrying IWB. I sent it back to S&W asking them to tighten it, but when I got it back, I couldn't tell any difference. After talking with their...

After buying a couple boxes of holsters over the past few years, I've come to realize that the belly band is the most versatile and comfortable way for me to carry both larger and smaller pistols. The only negative has been that it is noisy when I pull it off...the velcro makes that loud...
