A salesman who refused to even let me hold the gun I asked to see because it was the wrong caliber for me. The store with only "hot counter girls" who have no idea if they have a product and tell me to look in different areas of the store. And no you can't talk to a male because they are busy...

A barrel full of carb cleaner overnight might might work.

Trying to get the thumb on the grip safety just right, the second finger around the grip just right and the trigger finger just so on the Colt baby Browning is time consuming and iffy. Neat historical guns, but you need Pee Wee Hermans Pee Wee hands to shoot more than a shot every few seconds...

Castrol 20-50 on BSAs & Triumphs for decades. Gotta be good for guns, too. Caution: watch for dark spots on the floors. Any of the plastic gun makers say not to use automotive products on their wares?

I forgot I got a security holster that the light fit in, too. OTD for $603. It was definitely a bargain.

I'll bet if I handed anyone two guns, same model, one with a steel rod and one with a plastic rod , there would only be WAGs as which was heavier or lighter.

Maybe it depends on the day of the week. The LGS took an unopened case after showing me the one the customers get to handle. Laser/light, night sights, one extra grip, lock, one mag in the gun and no place for a second one in the case. Costly buggers too. I paid $40 -$45 25 years ago for...

The Sig P250c I bought in January this year had a steel guide rod. When I ordered extra springs, they came captured on plastic rods. I bought some original springs from TopGun. Originals are round wire and replacements are flat ';wire'. I also bought a steel rod for the Sig SP2022, which came...

Someone got two mags with their gun? Must have been a mistake. The one complaint I hear about Sigs is they come with one mag, unless it's the gen 1 P250, which no one seems to want.

If you look carefully at the rim profiles of different ammo,(magnifying glass) you will see different profiles. Some work great with KT and others won't, I've marked the ammo boxes with which 32 gun they work in. The extractor can be picky. Never had the rim lock issue. My most reliable 32...

Rem golden bullet in the 50 round boxes, made the last few years are awful in my semi's. The ones I bought bulk years ago and decided to try recently are great. I keep a list of what works in which gun. If it won't cycle a semi it goes into revolvers, pump, levers ets. CCI works in everything I...

What could go wrong in 100 years? No 2nd amendment.

have a Savage model 1915 done is satin hard chrome. The company - no longer in business - left all markings alone at my request. Gave the area they were on the slightest polish but you wouldn't know it. It is a good finish, doesn't scratch easily and on my Savage anyway, it looks great. The...

If MR Mauch has been feeling guilty his entire career, why hasn't he changed to designing tea pots or toys? It sounds like he has been carefully coached in what to say. But did he personally build and sell H&Ks products? No. So why is taking credit/responsibility for possible misuse? Was that...

Could you clarify what is not recommended on a pump shotgun?
