    Double Taps still phony?

    This is another one of those internet rumors like the S&W lock failures, Glock kabooms, getting prosecuted because of your trigger job, etc., ad nauseum.

    How Many 1911s do you own?

    You left out zero as a choice.

    Contender guys. I need education on the platform.

    I used to shoot IHMSA silhouette matches with a 10" .44 magnum T/C. That was/is the most brutal recoiling gun I have ever fired. The recoil was so bad that it would sheer the screws and the rear sight would fly off. After a match my elbow would be bleeding, my hand numb and my head aching. I...

    Latest and Greatest Glock

    A polymer framed 1911 would be great. That would give the purists and 1911 snobs the absolute drizzles.

    Dan Wesson treasure

    You have a Dan Wesson Pistol-Pac. Very valuable. The "shim" is a little tool to set the barrel/cylinder gap when the barrel has been removed and replaced. The barrels and shrouds are quite valuable by themselves ($150-$200 ea.). Enjoy your treasure.

    GP-100 and Pvri PPU .38 spl keyholing

    Rugers sometimes have very rough bores and tend to lead badly. It doesn't take long at all to have significant lead deposits.

    357 Magnum

    Dear THR. What are the advantages of 357 over a 9mm and 45acp? Are there any disadvantages? The .357 is a faster moving round. A disadvantage would be recoil and muzzle blast. Also the .357 is generally found in a revolver. How effective is a 357 as a SD weapon? Very effective. Is...

    Need photos of Hi-Power or Detective Special

    I only have one TV dinner left from 1985, but it's fried chicken.

    Converting SIG p226 .40 to 357sig

    I have a P226 that I did what you are asking. I just got a .357 Sig barrel from Sig and dropped it in. No need to get different mags. It works just fine.

    Storm Lake ported barrel shooting low? (Glock 19)

    NO, that is not what he was saying. He was saying that a ported barrel will shoot lower than an unported barrel, no matter who the hell makes it. Get some JBWELD and cover the holes up and see if that fixes your problem.

    .40 ammo

    I shoot the Federal XM40 180gr all the time in my Glock 22. I have never had a problem with it. My Sig P226 likes it as well. SGAMMO.com sells the XM40 for $19.95 I think. Case lots are less of course.

    Should I say anything about an exposed concealed weapon in public?

    I would mind my own business which is what this guy would probably have told you and most likely not in those words. I don't see why you would want to get in an armed and possibly intoxicated man's business. It's a no win situation. If this man was a cop, he already thinks he's above the...

    Black Talon 180gr .40 ammo

    I would sell them to some sucker and take the money and buy some modern day brown talons (Winchester T series).

    Well, I've Got Some Bad News.

    I can promise you the humidity where you live is nothing like the humidity where I live on the Gulf Coast. That being said, I use Kroil Weatherpruf. It will stop any metal from rusting.

    Why Own A 1911?

    I don't own one and never want to own another one. The polymer framed guns have some advantages: - easier to maintain - more reliable - cheaper to purchase initially (for a quality pistol) - very accurate - higher capacity

    Storm Lake ported barrel shooting low? (Glock 19)

    I would guess there is nothing wrong with the barrel. You just need a lower front sight. The higher velocity is causing you to hit lower because the bullet is leaving the barrel faster.

    Looking to find out the value of a Smith and Wesson

    WISHPONY: I forgot to ask, how do you plan on getting your revolver to the buyer? You might want to look into this little glitch.

    Looking to find out the value of a Smith and Wesson

    I would guess your model 10 would be worth no more than $350-$400. A dealer or pawnshop would probably give you $250 max. Sorry for your plight.
