Congrats on the CZ! They make some very nice firearms! I have two pistols to nominate, the first of which is the Smith & Wesson SD9. I had one years ago and its the only pistol that I regret selling. It wasn't the new version with the two-tone finish, it was the original version with the...

Fishbed: Thanks for the info. That is very good to know. I know a gentleman that uses a clear cerakote or similar after polishing, do you think this would be a sufficient rust prevention? Right now, where I live rust isn't a huge concern, but I do like to know how our pistols would hold up...

Sorry about the pale blue guys. Its my sort of like the color I use on my knife related forums which have black and dark grey backgrounds. The imperfections are on the top and right sides of the chamber. I have no idea how they got there or if they are pits or some other type of...

Thanks for the replies. I figured it was there to stay. The pitting is very light, but I wanted her gun to be perfect. She loves it, that's all that matters. Its her first firearm so she wanted it personalized just for her. She was thinking about a pink Cerakoat type treatment but we were both...

I recently stripped and polished the barrel of my Wife's Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm along with two other pistols. All three pistols had black coatings, but the other two came out perfect and hers has pits on the block(?) of the barrel. :what: How can I SAFELY remove the imperfections without...

Does anybody know where to find magazines for the (CAI imported) Grand Power K100/P1 Mk7 in stock? I know the STI GP6 uses 17 round mags, will these work in the CAI imported Grand Power Mk7 pistols, and would they sit flush? I am really wanting to buy a P1 Mk7, especially after reading all the...

26 and I carry a SA XDm Compact 9mm

I live in a very small town, with only four stores that sell ammo and firearms, one of them being wal-mart. All the stores are out of most of their ammo. I work at a sporting goods store and we haven't even been receiving enough ammo to pretend to stock the shelves. Guns are also flying off the...

My last purchase was a very nice little SAR B6P Compact. I had never seen one before I saw it through the glass, it just called to me. I love its look, feel, and now that its broken in it is a great shooter. I also saw this very nice little CZ clone (like a very compact CZ 75) in .380 acp...

I shot 100 rounds today (87 of WWB and 13 of Winchester NATO) and only had ONE FTF, and it was mid mag during quick double taps. I don't really know why my pistol is now shooting much more reliably, but I am happy it is doing so. Usually with 100 rounds I would have had 10 - 20 FTFs, so having...

If I need a recoil spring, I would need a stronger one right? If so how much stronger? I found some that are 1, 3, and 5 pounds stronger than the factory springs, but I don't know which to buy.

Yes the gun was lubricated, I clean it and lube it after each time its fired. If I give the back of the slide a quick whack, that is usually all it needs. And most of the time, its a short light tap to the back of the slide. Every once in a while, if the tap doesn't work, then pulling the...

I talked to my LGS and they said they think they ordered it from Davidson's Gallery of Guns, so that is where we are going to send it, but I have to wait until Monday. The LGS owner is going to make sure that it came from GOG before we send it off. Well I still have some rounds left so I bought...

I'm from Rural Arizona. I consider myself new to pistols, but I've been shooting them for around 6 or 7 years, but I've never worked on them or hand loaded or anything so I still have lots to learn. I love all firearms, but pistols are what I'm most interested in right now. I also love knives...

I emailed EAA and they emailed me back and told me to send it in, but I've heard some horror stories about EAA so I waited to contact Davidson's Gallery of Guns. My LGS gets most of his guns through them so I got lucky, I'm going to send to them to fix. I wish they had more in stock, it would be...

The hand over technique is a bit awkward for me with the size of the slide, but I don't think technique is the whole problem. I took the barrel out and did what you suggested, the bullet goes in and out with ease. However, I simulated chambering a round with the mag, barrel, and slide, and the...

I shot some Winchester NATO 124 Gr. FMJ rounds today, I bought a box of 50 to try out. I still had some FTFeed issues, but only with the first round of each mag. I used the slide release to chamber two rounds, both times it jammed up. Here are a few pictures of a round failing to feed, this is...

I don't have any more of the RWS ammo, which is the ammo that would FTF on the first round only. It would FTF the first round about 8 or 9 times out of ten, but I never used the slide release to chamber a new mag. Part of the problem was probably my technique, this is my first pistol with such a...

Thanks for the tips guys. I checked out that site, it has some good prices. Every other site I've passed through either only sells bulk ammo or charges limbs for shipping. I'm going to head to Big 5 in a while to exchange my last box of UMC for WWB or PMC.

I will definitely stay away from the ammo that has been giving me problems. I just wish I would have bought just one box of each to try out, but oh well, lesson learned. I went to big 5 today and they have PMC, Winchester USA (white box), and Fiocchi. I have experience with Winchester (but...
