Typical of reporters trying to write about gun problems w/o any real gun experience, but interesting anyway? Defects in NYPD handguns Half subject to jamming NY Daily News August 21, 2002 By Bob Kappstatter and Alice McQuillan More than half of the Police Department's handguns are subject to...

So how do you/they figure it? What does MRBF/MRBS really mean? How much is too much? 1 in 450 (M1911A1 reference score for the M9 trials; not the perfect score of 70 yrs earlier)? 1 in 500 (Austrian Army)? 1 in 1000 (the SIG P226's score in the first M9 T&E)? 1 in 2000 (the Beretta 92's score...

They look _very_ nice. Anybody have any info on them? There is nothing on their web site at all.

Any info on these? How, why, when it was done? I bought one on impulse today. Made by Springfield #302XXX, marked "7.62 NATO M11" on the bbl; told it was a Navy conversion? Chamber mod or whole new bbl? It is a very good shooter, even w cheaper surplus ammo. I picked up a 200 rd battle pack...

Inherited an old (made in 1955) Marlin 336 RC in 30-30. Leaving the sight where it was, the Fed 170 Nosler Partition was on top of the bead at 100 yds, 4 in groups (no scope). The Fed 125 JHP was about 12-16 inches higher at 100 yds. Fed shows the usage for the 125 HP at 2570 fps as...

Just picked up a nifty Marlin 1894 carbine in 357 (don't go there, plz) and was thinking of putting the AO Ghost ring sight on it. Anybody done that? How did it work? Do you have to replace the front sight too, or does it work with existing sight?

We get way too anal about some of this? If your std is 12/.65 , I wouldn't pass up something you like cuzz it does 11.9/.71 (180 SF) or 14/.64 (180 XTP); that .1 and .01 difference (or 83 v 88% OSS; the spread in 180/40s) is more a hobgoblin of small minds than a significant difference? The...

So whats' the buzz on these? Not the CD 1911s made in the PI, the polymer framed CZ75 knock-off made in Israel. Looked at one and it looked pretty good as far as design and quality of materials and workmanship. Basically a CZ75 w polymer frame. Same company makes the Bul 5 1911s. So?

It's a Walther P99 with a stainless steel/Melonite slide and bbl made here in the USA by S&W. Several thousand were made like that. Ya can tell cuzz it has no German Proof marks on the slide and bbl. Usually the Walther P99 has a carbon steel slide/Tenifer and proof marks. Saw results of a SW99...

Some love 'em, some hate 'em. Seems to be loosing ground to the 124, 124 +P, 124 +P+ (when they stay 9 instead of "moving up"). From here and there: This Department uses the Winchester SXT and the performance of this bullet is outstanding. Bruce Harris LASD Training Bureau Weapons Training...

"There are two additional pieces of information: average recovered diameter (ARD) and average penetration (AP). Both of these refer to results in human targets." Evan Marshal, p56, GunWorld, March 2001 So the hot 9s go deeper and/or get bigger than most of the 40/357 S&M loads in "real people"...

Let's see... The INS/Border Patrol rated the Beretta over the SIG and Glock. Just bought some USPs too. The OSP (Ohio) rated the SIG over the Glock, Beretta and USP. The FBI rated the Glock over all of em. The DEA has signed contracts for options on all of them. Might as well flip a coin...

>Hmmm... >If Glocks blow up so easily, why do they never do it >during "obstructed barrel" testing by various agencies, >including the Effa Bee Eye? How come Beretta slides never broke during the M9 (they won)/M10 (they won aain) /M11 (they passed again, but SIG won the bid - finally) trials...

Picked up two used (barely) Ruger Service Six 357 Mag revolvers this last month. Both stainless, fixed sights, square butt (Speed Six was round butt, Security Six was adj sights). One 4 inch, one 2 3/4 inch. Only $200 each! Love 'em! Looked through the junk drawer, found a nice leather...
