I've been carrying a PM9 for the last 8 years in a thin, suede IWB holster made by "Gun Leather". This is the best holster I've ever used. It adds almost no bulk whatsoever to the gun, has a thin profile, strong metal clip, stays in place, and conceals like no other. But, apparently, Gun...

I just got a NIB, unfired Beretta 8000 Cougar, and I can't find much info about the import markings. It has "INDUMIL BOGOTA" on the left side of the frame. It also has "PW ARMS REDMOND WA" on the right side of the frame. And "BERETTA USA CORP. ACKK. MD" on the right side of the slide. All...

Bellator Arms BA89. Anyone have one of these SP89 clones? They appear to be very well made. But there's not much info out there about them.

Remember... keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot.

I'm planning to buy an Ed Brown Carry 1911 to celebrate the centennial, but I can't decide between the Kobra Carry or the Special Forces Carry. I know I want the stainless finish. Which would you choose, and why?

I just picked up my brand new Glock 30 SF with night sights today. Took it to the range, and it jams on the last round from the mag about 40% of the time. The round gets stuck 1/2 way into the chamber. :( Always on the last round from the mag. Doesn't seem to matter which mag, it happened...

I'm considering getting a new, non-1911, CCW .45. I've pretty much ruled out everything as too big, too wide, too heavy, too few rounds, safety features I don't want, etc. But the Kahr P45 seems to be the best compromise. Anyone have recent experience with this gun? Are there any known...

The little circle of red paint under the safety lever fell out of my blued, Interarms USA PPK. It fell out in one piece. A dry little paint disc. What is best to use to repaint the red dot?

Anyone have experience with Lignose Einhand pistols? I just acquired a Lignose Einhand 3A. I'm following field stripping instructions I found online, but my slide and barrel are not moving forward enough off the frame for removal. Can someone help out with any tips on the field stripping...

I found this Micro Desert Eagle at a gun show today, and came home with it. It was lighter than I expected, and seems very high quality. Now I just have to go shoot it. Here are some size comparison pics of it next to my P3AT and Series 70 Colt. The pics aren't great, but should give an...

There's an ad for a Micro Desert Eagle .380 in the new "Guns" magazine. I can't seem to find much information about this gun anywhere. It looks pretty cool. The ad says it's gas-assisted blowback. Anyone have any experience with this gun? I wonder how many more .380 pocket pistols will be...

I'm looking for an all metal .40 pistol. What meets the following criteria? I don't want to leave anything out. .40 caliber Compact (small enough to reasonably carry) All metal (no polymer this time) No internal lock So far, I know of: Sig 229, 239 Kahr K40 CZ 75 compact .40...

I just got one of the new SA/DA Taurus PT140s and so far, it shoots great. Is there a source for flat magazine base plates that fit the latest PT140 Pro magazines?

Last year, I found a great deal on a 9mm DWM police Luger made in 1920. It's all matching and in great shape, but I wasn't planning to shoot it due to its age and collectibility. I finally broke down and shot a few magazines through it this weekend and it was amazing! The most accurate pistol...

The thread on surplus gun value got me wondering... What surplus guns would it be a good idea to buy right now. Which ones are still available and inexpensive, but are likely to dwindle fast in the next year or so driving prices skyward?

Has anyone had any trouble with the Bersa internal lock system? I really like Bersa's guns, and have 2 no-lock Bersa pistols. I'd like to get another Bersa at some point, but the ILS turns me off of the new ones. I didn't find much info on BersaTalk, so I guess that's a good thing...

I'm looking for a small, thin, reliable .45 ACP auto for winter carry. I don't want an internal lock and no manual safety (unless a 1911 type for C&L carry). I don't want to spend more than around $500-$600 on the initial purchase. I've looked into it and I'm not considering a Glock for this...

Having owned and sold two 1911s, I started getting the itch for a 1911 again. So, I went out and got a new Springfield GI, just the plain parkerized model. The safety was a little stiff, but the slide to frame fit seemed tight and it looked good. I took it to the range for a quick shoot...

I took my new (certified pre-owned) Sig 228 to the range today and had 8 failures in 100 rounds (Winchester white box value pack) with 2 different magazines. The failures all seem to relate to ejection problems. Six were FTE with the empty case still in the chamber and the next round trying...

I'm trying to choose a daily IWB, CCW gun. I have it narrowed down to the choices listed. I'm concerned about the extended floorplates on the new HKs being difficult to conceal. Which of these would you choose and why? Thanks.
