    COLT Being you all know so much about govt 1911's, I read an article that hundreds or thousands of American made 1911 were being sent to the CMP from Korea. What would be your guess about the condition of these pistols,could they be worn out or close or in good shape. Worth buying when...

    Why use +P ammo?

    9's Someone forced the manufacturers to down load the 9's. My uncles, 3 of them,NYPD, carried their duty gun but all used 9's. Back then 115;RNFMJ was 1300. That was in 1930's. Think of it. when I started shooting USPCA, a group of us started using 9's over the 45 acp's which were poor. We...

    There is Smith and Colt. Smith made 10's to shoot high power ammo. Guns are 1006,1076 and 1026 there are differences, they all shoot great out of the box. Most self defense ammo out there is junk. Research, read protect your life, dont believe what john or sam on the wire says. The most powerful...

    S&W 640 Trigger Job

    A simple job you can do is find out what kind of hammer spring is there. Pull back the hammer slowly. IF the hammer goes back smoothly thats the first step. If the hammer is smooth then gets harder you probably have a two stage spring in the gun.Remove grips, look at spring, if two stage buy a...

    Dillon powder dispenser

    To those of you, IT is not stick powder. That powder bar should work perfect even with extruded. It should cut. Did you check inside the bar, the screw adjustment, make sure the screw and bar are tight inside with no wobble. Is your stroke on the arm firm all the way thru. If not call Dillon...

    Report : .40S&W JHPs versus Bone and Ballistic Gelatin

    I dont believe the test at all. It appeared to be set up to purposely show failure of HP ammo. There was also no show of the gelatin, why? What exactly was the bone shield made of, how thick was it, why a rubber cover around it, how thick was the rubber cover. You did a disservice to the...
