I just wanted to share my recent experience with Arsenal Customer Service, following the barrel chop conversion of my SAM7K-04. I have several AK's: a WASR-10, SGL21, Romanian SAR2, Draco, and now my most recent - Arsenal SAM7K-04. August 7, 2019 - I first reached out via the customer service...

I've haven't been around as much the last year or two as I used to. I lurk and read a lot and reply to some people, but haven't had much cause to start my own threads much. I kind of got my start here on TFL giving details reviews of guns. As a little throwback to my TFL roots, I wanted to...

The heavy magazine release with a full mag was my only complaint on the P-10 C, but it was actually a pretty big one, for me. I was planning to pick up the new generation with the reversible mag release when I saw that Apex had released their version of an enhanced mag release for the existing...

I've heard for years about broken strikers in Glocks due to their use of MIM parts. I never had an issue in mine.... until now. During my usual dry-fire practice this morning, my 19X trigger didn't reset. I racked the slide... no reset. I thought maybe a spring broke to tried pulling the...

Okay! So... got the Apex 10-8 base pads. They come in a 4-pack for under $40 from Amazon if you want them quick. I was going to post this as a reply to TunnelRat's thread here, but figured this could kind of serve as it's own mini-review and can stand alone as well. First impressions -...

The turnaround was way faster than I was expecting. They estimated 6 weeks... it look like 2. Communication was excellent throughout the process. I got a call after they received it to have a verbal discussion about what exactly I was looking for, clearing up a few questions they had from the...

Okay, so I've been wanting to pick up another 45C for a while after I sold my CT to a friend last year. I was planning to just get black, but the "Sand" color versions have been on sale through a dealer on Gunbroker for only $749 for a while now. Given the price difference, I figured even if I...

So here's the deal. I like to shoot, as we all do. I prefer to shoot steel out in the desert. I'm on the outer edges of the Phoenix valley, so I can drive about 6 miles out and set up my steel and shoot all day if I want. Our sand is very fine and when introduced into many guns, it will cause...

I tried to call the factory to order one of the updated slide stop levers that are "reinforced" but provide a better trigger reset that the newer M&P's are coming with. The guy on the phone told me that I could not order one, that they were restricted to factory installation only. But I can...

I absolutely love mine. Over the past year, I have become a total P320 evangelist. The compact is my EDC. The full size is my night stand gun. I've beat on the compact pretty hard and it keeps begging for more. I am fully confident that the P320 will be the next military side arm. Living in...

I've been over here a couple of times over the years. I had an SP101 and a Ruger Alaskan 44mag for a little bit. Ended up selling both of them. Got a nice deal on a 4" GP100 today. I was really thinking about ordering the 3" Wiley Clapp, but was really looking for a 4". If the WC was 4" it...

We made a trade! He really wanted my HK 45 Compact Tactical... and I really wanted a tan USP 45... so look what happened. The USP 45 is my all-time favorite 45 caliber gun and I've always wanted a tan one. Gonna drop a match trigger into it as usual, although the factory trigger is...

I think I'm finally done with it... P320 Compact (small frame - I prefer this even though I wear XL gloves) Robert Burke trigger job Apex flatty trigger Heinie SlantPro QWIK sights Titanium Nitrided barrel from MG Precision Arms Ozark carbon fiber IWB holster I'm really loving this gun...

The new sniper gray Glocks hit the shelves this week. I stopped in by Glockmeister yesterday and picked up a new Gen4 G19. I'm actually a fan of the different color Glocks. I have the FDE 17 as well. I already under cut the trigger guard. Placed an order with GlockStore last night for a...

Wow, I had heard they were in trouble for quite some time. I suppose it's quite true that they haven't had a decent innovative design for a long, long time and you can only ride so long on the coat tails of the 1911. Pretty sad to see such a huge name in firearms fall so far...

Today was Bring Your Gun To Work Day! Just kidding... that's every day. :D Anyways... got to the range this afternoon to do some shooting after making some changes to my VP9 grip panels last night. I put on the small back strap to reduce that exaggerated hump and installed the large side...

Just came across this. I've never given much thought to Detonics, but this might actually be a cool pistol. I don't think it will win the military submission... but perhaps the design will go public? It looks like a stylized 1911 slide with a double stack magazine. It looks to have a 1911-style...

My G10 grips from the 227 TacOps came in yesterday but I didn't have a chance to cut them down. When I got home from work today I installed them, scored them, took them off, cut them down with the dremel and then cleaned up the edges with 400 grit sandpaper to make them smooth. With thee...

Picked up my new Sig P227 Carry today. Really love the size/feel of the gun. Very similar to my P229. Had to do some emergency surgery when I first got it home though. Installed the SRT kit, 19lb Wolff hammer spring, and Gray Guns P-SPIT trigger. Now it's just about perfect. I have the Hogue G10...

Many of you have seen me sing the praises of the M&P 22. I really like the pistol. Ergonomics match the M&P 9 perfectly (after removing the thumb safety). The trigger isn't exactly the same, but it's certainly not bad. It fits the same holsters as the M&P 9 and 45. It's well-made, despite the...
