Does anyone have any experience/comment on the RIA 9mm revolver, I think AL-9?

Thanks for the information guys. Obviously I know nothing about Glocks being basically a 1911 guy. However, as ugly as they are they are beginning to grow on me..........I am smart enough to recognize a good working pistol when I am hit in the head with one. In fact, I just picked up a G43 and...

I have had a Gen One G19 for several years. Never shot it much and never carried it. I am re-thinking that and considering carry and possibly duty rotation. The Gen 1 mags do not drop free and must be snatched out of the magazine well, main reason I have never carried it. I see ads for Gen 4...

Great way to spend your Birthday........sounds like you had a good one. Interesting post for sure. I am with the CZ guys, I discovered them a couple of years ago thanks to my Step-SIL. I have the 75BD, a Compact 75D, and a pre-B 85. The compact gets the most carry/use. Thanks for the info...

I don't buy firearms hoping that they appreciate in value. I buy them because I want them.

I am a S&W revolver guy. My EDC is a M-13 3" with the old FBI load. My Better-half just finished her CCW class. She shoots my Smiths well but is not the gun nut that I am. We went CCW shopping earlier this week and she decided on a Ruger LCP .380 with the Crimson Trace lazer sight. (She...

Several years ago I started a reloading room in my garage. It got side tracked and converted to junk storage. For Father's Day and my BD my better half decided to complete my room for me. (I think she just wanted my stuff out of the back porch.) She works PT for a big box hardware store and...

Gun Broker auction site currently has a number of CZ 75s and 85s listed, they are apparently older models and pretty well used. I scored an 85 that looked good in the pictures and was listed at a slightly higer price than the others. I wanted one simply because they have interested me for some...

I had a Government Model and presently have a Hardballer, both in .45ACP. Never had any real problems with either and shot/shoot them quite a bit. However, neither cost anywhere near $500.00. I agree with several of the above posts, I wouldn't pay $500.00 for one. There are better...

The S&W M-13 is the premier workhorse K frame. It is a very solid revolver in .357 Mag and of course you can shoot .38 Special also. I usually carry the 158 grain, lead hollowpoint, Plus P .38Special in mine and practice with the same weight bullet, round nose or whatever. The price you...

Living in the "old days" has always appealed to me. Sometimes I think I was born 100 years too late. However, when I was in the Eighth grade (1957) my home room teacher asked that question "Who would like to live in the old days? Most of us raised our hands. Then he asked "Who has had...

I have had a 1991A1 Colt Compact Series 80 for several years, bought it new. Mine is a great little gun and has always been 100% reliable with 230 grn lead bullets and 200 grain flat nose lead bullets. I haven't shot many HP rounds but the ones I did ran fine. Initially, I thought the price...

Look for an NRA Basic Pistol course. It is a super introduction that covers basic aspects related to handgun shooting ie safety, revolvers, pistols, basic ballistics etc. Most instructors have several different types of handguns for familiararity, and you will shoot a basic qualification...

A lawyer friend advises that when it comes to "experts" to prove your point; "Money will buy a whore to say anything your want." Keep shootin' and check 6

I second psyopspec...........try the SafePacker..........very unobtrusive and very fast Keep shootin' and check 6

I try to keep a .22 RF trainer for my carry guns. Of course, recoil is different but grip, sight picture, and trigger control are the same. I usually start a serious practice session with the .22RF and then move up to the full size. i have a Colt Conversion Unit on an AMT frame for my 1911...

I had two SFS sytems, one on a Hi-Power and one on a 1911. I liked them but the manual of arms is different to place them on safety; consequently, I changed them out to remain consistent. When I placed them on safety by pushing the hammer forward the thumb pieces moved to the upward position...

Very interesting pictures. The labor wars/trouble in early Colorado were bad times. While I am not a present day union guy the unions were necessary in those days and did much to improve the lives of the coal field and steel workers in Colorado. A lot of the steel and coal workers were from...

Get a Brownells catalog, there are several listed there. I just got hold of a used custom 1911 that has a frame by Remsport Mfg, Ludlow, MA (Yeah, I never heard of them either) it is a quality frame, the slide is unmarked but I believe it is also a Remsport. I do not know who did the work but...
