I searched high and low for one as soon as they came out and bought the first one I found. Fired 50 rounds through it the first range time. My dominant hand hurt for the rest of the week. Never had a problem with it but it is heavy. Muzzle blast was surprising for a .45. As others have...

I have one of the FEG clones (PJK-9HP). Bought it right as the ASW ban was passed. My friend was a dealer and he gave me a good price and took a 38 Taurus 85 as trade (I've regretted that - that Taurus was an exceptional revolver, never had a problem with it). The FEG? Very nicely done...

I picked up an Armalite AR24 compact a while ago used as a curiosity, mostly. These things seem to be horribly unpopular, though mine has been great. This was the first one I'd ever seen in a shop or gunshow. Just a bit heavy (all steel). One of my better buys. I paid $250 for it used and...

Beretta 85F. Single stack .380. One of the softest .380s I've ever shot. Accurate too. Was consolidating calibers and let it go for what I had in it. Should have kept it. One of the original limited run of S&W 629 Mountain Revolvers. Moderate .44 magnum loads would rattle my teeth and...

I just leave it alone when it happens to me. I have several 1911's and they only one that I've done this to was the very first Government Model. But, I'm thinking I may do this to my slide stops to prevent me from doing this to the others: http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=214653

Are they still being imported? I looked at them when they first became available and at the time, they were $75 more the the CZ, so I got the CZ. Later, I ran across a LNIB compact at a local shop for $350. Nice gun. I like it alot. Well crafted but the Armalite marking are a bit over the...

I had an Interarms PPK/s that didn't become reliable until sometime after the 500 round mark. Many people who have these guns recommend around that many to break the gun in. Give it a good cleaning and shoot it for a few hundred rounds. If it improves, keep going until it smooths out. If...

I have a Graham holster that I like alot. Had to wait a looooooooooong time for it, too. I also have a K&D pocket holster for my Kel-tec 3AT. That's the one I would recommend, if it's available. Kramer's good too. The Uncle Mike's and or DeSantis Nemesis holsters are good to tide you over...

It's concealable and at one time probably was one of the best. But most of the micro-9s (PPS, Kahr PM9, MK9, KT PF9, KT P11, Rohrbaugh, and probably many others) are much better choices. The PPK is still viable but just doesn't dominate the small pistol category like it once did. It's a bit...

I've seen one of the new ones. But just one and it was about a year ago at a gunshow. The dealer who had it - didn't the next time I saw him. Must have sold it. But, he didn't restock it for some reason. Either he wants to and can't get it or he's had bad customer feedback on what he's sold...

Yeah. For $45 each.:what: I like the gun. I have one. It's got alot of nice features, but, sadly, night sights are not available.

Just make sure your holster has a piece of material extending up to and past the safety. See BigMike's picture above. This is typically called a sweat shield and it's best function is that it prevents the safety from being disengaged during your daily activities by friction or catching on...

I bought my 1963 vintage E. German in 1994 for $189. I was a regular, so the guy sold me 1100 rounds of 9mm Makarov ammunition for another $60. Picked up 2 Bulgies. Each cost me $170. The first has lots of holster wear, so I have carried this one. The second is unissued and as perfect as...

Just something to think about...............Kel-tec is widely acknowledged to have the best customer service in the business. Just about every owner you communicate with will tell you of their first hand experience with KT's CS and how great it is. Gives you a warm feeling all over that you'll...

Blame everybody whose first response to every thread is "search function is your friend." It's still a pertinent topic though.
