We've had two lengthy discussions here in recent months on the effect heavier rounds have on point of impact. The consensus was that with revolvers, where recoil against the frame is immediate, the barrel starts to rise as soon as recoil begins. In the case of semi-autos, where there is...

Recently we had a long discussion about the effect of different bullet weights on recoil -- and whether heavier bullets (as I and others claimed) tended to hit higher on the target than lighter ones. My claim was that because the heavier bullet was moving slower, the barrel rose a bit before...

In a recent Forum discussion, one member talked about painful trigger slap owhen firing some of his Glocks. I've also heard this phenomenon discussed when folks talk about some CZs, as well. I suspect that the "slap" experienced when shooting a striker-fired gun might have a different cause...

This was first posted in another topic here on the forum, but it was suggested it ought to be a separate topic. I think that's right. About those 1911s. I've read rave reviews of 1911s, but most of the compliments focus on the trigger. The 1911s I've seen, shot, or owned that WERE very...

RE: Storage Wars I was watching Storage Wars on TV, and the guys bought a storage unit that included a BUNCH of new in box (literally) weapons, from Colt Pythons to top-end Beretta shotguns. There were also some older, collectibles. The video always shows them selling the guns to gun shops...

Over the past week or so, when I go in to make a minor change to a post I've just made, the EDIT mode doesn't show the message that I just entered. (It appears in a flash and then disappears.) Is there some setting that I've accidentally turned on, or is something else going on. I tend to...

I've got two of these old guns, both in good shape, but both have been "restored" -- improved, reblued, etc. So their value as collectibles is much less than if they had been left stock but worn. My question -- can they be converted to .22 LR by installing a 1963 barrel. (I remember, I think...

Ooops.

I've already posted this on George's Website, and he and another gunsmith have responded there... but I'd like to try here, as well -- in hopes that someone else has experienced this problem, and knows the solution. I've had a Witness Sport Long Slide for a year or so -- .45 acp -- and its...

One guy on another forum mentioned that some of his friends, several of whom shoot rifles at long-distance targets, believe that using CLP to clean barrels degrades accuracy. My response was, "Yeah, sure. Right." But having said that, I thought, perhaps there's something there that I simply...

I asked this question on George's own forum, but will ask again, here. I have several Star handguns, one of which is my most frequently carried CCW. Getting parts for these guns is a problem, particularly firing pins. How realistic would it be for me, using my existing firing pins from my...

Several months back I picked up a pretty nice VZ-52 in a local pawn shop, but work and other concerns had kept me from taking it apart and cleaning it, etc. I started taking it apart last night and quickly found out that I was in over my head. It's a lot different from some of my other...

I've found forums for all of my guns, except the Browning Hi-Power. Anybody know of an URL for that weapon?
