New Diamondback Sidekick .22 revolver I felt this new revolver had a lot of things going for it: affordable, 9-shot cylinder, both .22 and .22 Mag cylinders. The best thing was....it was double-action. I have several single-action revolvers and I was looking forward to adding this pistol to my...

Just bought this revolver. I have SA .22’s but wanted DA as well. The price was right; this MAY be why the trigger pull is so heavy. Articles I’ve read say it goes at 14 lbs. really heavy. Anyone have thoughts on how to lighten this up?

Could not pass up buying the new Wrangler ($207 out-the-door!). Took it out shooting with my Single Six for comparison. The Wrangler FEELS smaller, although when I put them on top of each other they look to be the same size. The loading gate is more difficult to open, maybe because I have...

....when the magazine is inserted. Suggestions/causes?

Had no response to this, so I bought a couple of mags to try and do this. Actually, it wasn't as difficult as might be expected. It required no "special" shop tools, just a vise, angle grinder, and a Dremel tool. I used the existing 8000 mag as a guide and scratched marks for the slot on the...

How difficult is it to cut the slot to fit a 92/M9 mag into a Beretta 8000? I'm hoping I can find some military surplus mags and adapt them.

Are the 15 round mags for these two pistols interchangeable? My 92 mags seem to fit perfectly in my 8000; I only have 10 round mags for it as it was purchased in CA. Just asking before I take it out for trial...

Loading a batch of 9mm today and I must have picked up a stray case. When I tried to seat the primer, I faced resistance (Dillon 550). I stopped and removed the case and found this unusual piece of brass. I don't recognize the head stamp (9 MM 41) and the primer hole is just way to small. Anyone...

Took my wife shooting to familiarize her with her new S&W 380 EZ pistol. Since we were going shooting, I also brought the Model 10 revolver that is her "bedside" gun to make sure she was still up to date with it (she doesn't shoot very often). Once we'd gone through both of the guns and she was...

People seem to always be seeking the "magic bullet, one-stop shot". Just heard a story from a friend that shows this just ain't always so... He's a retired LEO who lived in an area that was suburbs/semi-rural. His wife had taken the dog out back and was confronted by a mountain lion in their...

Didn't really know about this until I saw an ad in American Handgunner. Apparently, high velocity ammo might cause the slide to lock open during shooting. After checking my serial #, I confirmed that my pistol was part of this recall. The whole thing took about 10 days....I called S&W, they...

Am looking for a pistol for my wife and came across this new issue from S&W. Super easy to rack the slide and good sights; the 380 should have manageable recoil. I need to bring her in to handle it. Anyone tried this gun? Thoughts?

This pistol looks ideal for a purse gun for my wife. Anyone had a chance to try it? As a self-defense gun, I'm OK with the fixed sights. Pros (other than price!!)? Cons?

Came back to finish off loading some 7x57 Mauser ammo and forgot to lube the brass! Now I've got one really stuck in the sizing die. Did a search on the forum and even tried putting die in freezer, without success. Trying to knock it out from the top would be useless and only smash over the...

Can someone please outline a simple, straight-forward technique for training to shoot handguns with both eyes open? I carry daily and would need to have both eyes open if that situation ever arises. Have not had a great deal of success doing this on my own.

Have two, turn of the century, rifles in this caliber. Have loaded for both before and still have ammo in my reload boxes. I always put the caliber, bullet weight, powder, and charge amount on the label of the box: 140g bullet, 43g of IMR 4895 It's been a couple of years since I've loaded this...

Have put about 200 rounds through my new 9mm Shield. I like this pistol very much.......but, it shoots about 1-2 inches to the left and 3-4 inches low. I have deliberately "slow fired" with careful aiming, making sure I was pushing straight back on the trigger. Not as concerned about it shooting...

Bought my new 9mm Shield yesterday. I had a difficult time loading both magazines....in fact, I could only get 7 rounds into the 8 round mag. Anyone else had this problem?

Anyone know when my Beretta Cougar F was manufactured? 0123xxMC
