    Military Gun Deals (Glock First Responder)

    Usually every time I'm on deployment someone gets together a special group buy with a unit crest or motto or something laser etched on the weapon chosen. Last time it was Smith and Wesson M&P AR-15s, and they did Sig 226's and 556 rifles on a prior deployment so I guess those two offer some...

    Winchester 1897 problem

    Thanks! Gun is very clean, so I'm assuming a parts failure. I've found a couple places online that specialize in returning 97's to working condition, and just looking at the thing I can tell that it's a can of worms I dont really want to open. As you said, definitely not child's play. So sending...

    Winchester 1897 problem

    Just picked up an 1897 12ga today in trade. I knew this going in, but when the gun is pumped the hammer does not stay back. Instead, it goes to a half cock and has to manually be thumbed back every time the weapon is pumped. Anyone have an idea what causes this, or how to fix it? Am I missing...

    What's your "never buy" gun?

    I seem to own, or have owned in the past many of the guns people will never buy. I had a jennings/lorcin (I cant even remember which) .25 that I got from my grandfather that I never had a problem with. I couldn't figure out the purpose of the thing so it went away. I had a Kel-tec SU-16 that I...

    Cleaning dried blood off a rifle

    Lazerbeans, your friend got frightened because trying to distill hydrogen peroxide for the purpose of concentration is a very easy way to make a large, smoking crater where you and your cooking apparatus used to be.

    Revolver Reliability Vs Semi-auto

    A peculiar thought occurs to me, about your Berettas--autoloaders loosened up by use may be all the more reliable: Were they worn out or worn in? Guns carried everywhere can look pretty shabby externally and still work fine. I'm not saying that's the way it was; I wasn't there and you were...

    Revolver Reliability Vs Semi-auto

    My main experience with shooting any volume from autoloaders comes from the military. At my last command, we qualified 3 times a year with an M9. That's about 160 people, shooting the same 30 or so handguns 2-3 strings of fire to qualify, then eating up the remaining ammo (average about 2000...

    Early Custom M1911

    I'll have to search for some photos...My grandfather has a 1918 production 1911 he purchased from a fellow firefighter in about '59, by 65 he was shooting competition with it and added adjustable target type sights, installed a drilled trigger and played with the pull quite a bit-it's crazy...

    Whats your age group, and what do you carry?

    22, mostly carry a Beretta M9 and/or an M4 and occasionally even a mossberg 500 ;)...In civilian attire it's almost always an S&W TSW9 5906, it's heavier but about the same size of the glock 19 I prefer it over

    Glock Snail Drum?

    RPG? isn't that a compact? Personally I go for an M240-N small of back, only causes problems while driving.
