    Does anyone actually like S80 1911's?

    Well, yeah if you drop your gun you should look it over to see if you broke it. :-) If the safety is on and you dropped it and it fired (S70), it may or may not have hurt the gun but it should be checked. Neither safety (grip or manual) will block the firing pin on an S70 so it could fire...

    belly band carry for full-sized 9mm?

    It's also very important to wear the band on your hips where it was meant to be worn. I see lots of folks trying to wear it around their belly. That's just not going to work. Keep the gun down around your waist. Personally, I think a belly band is very good for up to a medium sized gun...

    Sanity check .... P225 new old stock vs. new!!

    No, I don't think so. The more expensive gun sounds like the better deal to me.

    My First Accidental Discharge, I am Freaked Out.. Learning Lesson... Need Advice

    Yes, there is that too. :) Seriously though, there are exceptions to the trigger rules (dry firing, etc), but they are specific training with safety precautions to ensure that nothing bad happens. Generally yanking a trigger when pulling guns out of the safe is not one of those training...

    My First Accidental Discharge, I am Freaked Out.. Learning Lesson... Need Advice

    Agree with this, but you really need to stop the practice of pulling the trigger on a "known empty" gun. GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED. Never pull a trigger to check it. This practice caused your ND.

    What would you upgrade on an ORM Colt Commander?

    http://thehighroad.us/showthread.php?t=418506 I think I would try this ambi-safety from caspian. It looks like a good solid one.

    Winchester Model 12 - Spare Barrel Assembly Questions

    Yes, they are. There are some wonderful, simple, but expensive tools to ream the barrel ring for concentricity and headspace with an existing barrel. How you would machine a second barrel to fit an existing ring is way above my pay grade. They are wonderful old guns, just not as flexible as...

    Winchester Model 12 - Spare Barrel Assembly Questions

    Generally barrel assemblies on the M12 are not interchangeable and here's why. The first 1/4 inch of the chamber is a barrel ring that is contained in the receiver and fitted to the original barrel. If you remove your barrel and then look into the receiver where the barrel just came out you...

    Taurus 85ti Totally titanium

    The good: You can shoot it a lot like a steel gun and not worry about wear. Not quite as light as AL alloy but lighter than steel. Taurus customer service has been good to me. The bad: Very hard to get custom work done. Ti is very hard to work. May require special cleaning techniques - not...

    Video Shows Robber Shoot Himself, Clerk At Same Time

    Another lesson IMO is to teach your new shooters to follow through with each shot. Keep the trigger pulled back until the recoil is finished and your sights are back on target. Then and only then, reset the trigger.
