For me, it's the Makarov PM, and its Euro-style heel magazine release. What one feature is keeping one of your favorites from being perfect?

One of my holy grail pistols is the S&W 3904/3906 (specifically with Novak sights and rounded trigger guard), though I do have the S&W 909, the budget version of the same. I've also considered adding to my collection an earlier version, perhaps going as far to also grab a 39-2 and a 439. If I...

I'm generally satisfied with my CRKT Hissatsu folder, but I'm interested in a similar fixed-blade knife for carry at work. I was perusing Amazon for similar products, but I'm not sure I can get something of the same size and blade configuration that clips as easily to my ABU pants. So before...

I've got a 2" S&W Model 12-3, square butt. It currently wears Pachmayr "Gripper" one-piece finger groove grips. While this makes it very comfortable to shoot, I suspect there are better options for concealment. Any suggestions?

While possibly esoteric, and certainly not essential, I am nonetheless interested if anyone has a lead on the following Beretta autoloader accessories: 1. Beretta 96FS/G/D/Centurion top ends. I once had a kit that I bought from CDNN. It worked flawlessly with my 92FS frame, even feeding...

My fourth science fiction novel, The Fox and the Eagle, is now available on Amazon in both print format and as an e-book for the Kindle. There was a delay with Amazon's posting this time, but that's been sorted out, and I am proud to make the announcement to the community on THR! What does...

So, searching past threads has gained me some info, but I haven't found the exact answer I need. I've had a Glock 29 for a while now, and I currently have two ten round mags, one with the Pearce +0 grip extension, and two fifteen round mags. I would like to split the difference on these two...

Having been a member here for almost nine years, I have occasionally come across the philosophy that one must stick with one manual of arms for defensive carry, lest one make a fatal error during a high-stress engagement. As far as the placement of a manual safety on an autoloader, I find...

“Is it still considered a miracle if it comes from the devil?” – Lorenzo In a war where governments and corporations are vaguely defined entities, each with their own agenda and means, the foot soldiers are left to fight and die for those ends. Sometimes, though, that same separation from...

I stumbled across this slide assembly on Auction Arms: http://www.auctionarms.com/search/displayitem.cfm?itemnum=7852838 The seller doesn't know what pistol it's from. Neither do I.

I have a Norinco 1911A1, which is my second such pistol. Like it's predecessor, it has been 100% reliable with FMJ and 185 and 230 grain JHP. Unlike it's predecessor, I have experienced problems with some of my Chip McCormick "Shooting Star" magazines. My 7-round GI magazines have been...

Here is a copy of the e-mail I just fired off to NBC Nightly News. If you missed it, they had on a former BATFE agent just so he could villainize JHP ammo. You can e-mail them at [email protected]

Hello all, I recently purchased a Yugo M48 without a sling. I will eventually buy the proper sling for it, but for now I have all this nylon webbing lying around and I would like to make a field expedient sling. If you have a digital camera and a Mauser K98 or Yugo M48, would you please...

I sold my M1 Garand and bayonet to a California buyer, but my dealer refused to ship the bayonet. He told me that bayonets are not legal in California, to which I replied I thought only permanently-affixed bayonets (such as on the Yugo SKS) were illegal. Who is right?

Many biker gang members armed, legally By JOE KAFKA Associated Press Writer PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- It would have been an unusual traffic stop any other time of year in South Dakota, but stopping several armed members of the Outlaws biker gang Thursday evening was not peculiar, a law...

I've been working second shift guarding a retail store in Lawrence, Massachusetts that got flooded out and is now being renovated. The neighborhood is supposedly rough but I haven't seen anything worse than kids setting off car alarms for kicks. It is an unarmed assignment but my boss allows...

First of all, I owe bglimpse an apology. I stated a few months ago that the Insight Technologies UTL (M2) weapons light for the USP would fit a Glock with rails, and in fact any M1913 rail. While this is true, it will not stay put during recoil. While the use of this device on a M1913 rail...

I've used commercially-produced reactive steel targets before, but I happened upon a used 12" Mitre-saw blade and my first thought (naturally) was whether or not it would be a good reactive target. Let's say I hang it from a frame like a Japanese gong: \_/ .O What do you think the...

What these gentlemen need to do, IMNSHO, is reorganize the New Hampshire State Guard (currently inactive), or see about inviting the Massachusetts State Guard up to help out. Otherwise they're just throwing a penny into a wishing well the size of Nebraska.

So my boss wants me to get my Massachusetts non-resident carry permit so that I can cross the border without becoming an instant felon. I've refrained from sending away for my non-resident permit because the friend I visit most often in Massachusetts has an LTC and firearms, so at least I'm...
