Saw this at Cabela's yesterday. Seemed like a fun little gun but I've read bad things about Chiappa who manufactures the gun. Anyone here have one or has spent time with one. What do you think about it? Worth owning?

So I went with my wife today to go shoot some trap. I have an 870 express, nothing special but I love it. Well I bought a valuepack from Walmart without looking at the gauge. Of course I bought 20 and needed 12 and didn't notice til I got to the range. Pretty dumb of me. So I bought some of the...

I bought some new Blackhawk gloves for duty but I'm in a conundrum when it comes to gloves. I have long fingers which, length-wise, fit well into large gloves, but my fingers are narrow and so they don't fill out the large fingers of a large. Medium fits well around the fingers but are a bit...

I just recently moved to AZ and now finally after getting settled down I went to the local range today to have some fun. Shot my pistols (Ruger 22/45, PX4 Storm, and my 1911) and my AR15 with new red dot and my good ole Mosin. I bought a piece that replaces the rear sight and allows me to put on...

I asked a while back about accurizing my Ruger mk III 22/45. I ended up getting the Volquartsen trigger, MKIII target sear, and MkIII bushing. I got the trigger in fine but I'm having trouble with the sear. The spring is a completely different shape than the old spring and I'm not really finding...

I've found only two so far (both were extremely positive) but I really like this one so I thought I'd share the link. If anyone else knows of any reviews post them here so we can see more. http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/430601935/m/7100002072/p/1 I've been eagerly awaiting this gun...

I'm looking to get my stepfather a holster for his Blackhawk. He's a huge John Wayne fan and his favorite movie is True Grit so I was going to get him the Rooster Cogburn holster. Only problem is picking the right size holster. He says his Blackhawk is 7 1/2" and chambered in .357. Only issue is...

So I have a Mk III 22/45. It was my first handgun and is the cause of my gun habit now. I love this gun a lot but lately it has been neglected by me. I really would like to take up a project and get it running better than ever and make it once again my favorite gun. I had some ideas and a few...

I started a thread a few days back about CCW. I've been looking into many different kinds of small autoloaders in both .380 and 9mm and a little bit at .38 snubnoses. I have to say the idea of a snubnose is growing on me but I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it's the light weight, or simplicity of...

Starting in December once I'm done at my academy I will be living in AZ and will be able to CCW and will use that privilege to protect myself and the family when we are out. The problem is I don't know where to start when it comes to CCW. I've figured out I will go with the Crossbreed Supertuck...

Alright I just got back from a short trip to the range with my brand new SA Mil Spec 1911. Put about 150 rounds through. It's weird cause I shoot a lot but for some reason was a little nervous. No idea why. Recoil wasn't really an issue but definitely more than I'm used to with my PX4 9mm. I...

Or not. Since I'm out here in CA we have a 10 day waiting period for DROS, which is just a background check. I went today following those 10 days. Went to Turners Outdoorsman after my 10 day waiting period to pick up my new SA Mil Spec SS 1911. Go to the counter hand over my paperwork and wait...

I just picked up a couple Chip McCormick match-grade mags for my 1911 that I pick up on Saturday. I've disassembled them by depressing the spring and sticking an allen wrench through the holes and then just taking out the follower. But it kind of looks like I should be able to disassemble them...

I bought two new factory mags for my PX4 9mm. At first I couldn't get either to fall free when releasing the magazine at all. Now they'll fall free every time if the slide is closed, but with it open they seem to just disengage and hang. Every now and then they'll disengage and fall properly but...

So I'm going to get my "first" 1911. I use quotes because I'm supposed to have my grandfather's WWII colt. But when he passed my step-dad intercepted it and convinced my mother I was too young. I was 23 almost out of college and already owned one pistol. Anyway, this will be mine, all mine. What...

So I went out today to the High Desert. The weather report said it would be blowing 10mph but this was one of the few days I could go out so I just went for it. When I got to my spot it was blowing 20 with occasional gusts directly across my firing line. I was testing the seating depth for my...

Alright well not technically. I had one get away but it was all me. Knew it the second I shot. Anyway here are the details on my first reloads with 53 gr SMKs. I loaded 53 gr SMK over 24, 24.5, 25, 25.5 & 26 grs of H335 in WMC brass with WSR primers. Of course the 26 grainers got left at home...

So I've reloaded .223 before but really more just plinking rounds. This was my first attempt to really figure out what my gun likes. First some notes on the gun. I'm using a 16" Stag AR. It's pretty stock, minus the Miculek brake I just installed and a YHM free-float forend. I have a Millet...

I just got my Miculek comp and installed it using the supplied lock nut. Unfortunately the comp is a tad less than a quarter turn from being clocked perfectly so I have to back it out, and then when I tighten the lock nut to the comp, there is a slight gap. It's not huge but it's pretty visible...

Im beginning a free float handguard project and I'm to the removing the taper pins part. I know most people have the Brownells block but I don't really want to spend $40 to pop out two pins. I may not use it again. Not sure. Anyone have any tips for removing the taper pins? My best idea so far...
