Thank you on the 92/M9 and CZ info so far I appreciate this a lot. I know that these are all issued to different militaries, and units, not to mention police. I look at that factor to determine how a weapon holds up. Police maybe do not use theirs often, but does SWAT or do HRT's use them? It...

930, will get back to you all Right now, here, even decent shotgun ammo is being limited, if its even in stock. I have a few boxes of kent turkey load, of various sizes, and a couple dozen boxes of military buck, and slugs, so once I get together some good ammo, so as to not deplete my stash on...

I have an old CZ75, the B model would be my new 9mm service size pistol, in 9mm, and the older gun would be retired, in near perfect shape, in box. I am the second owner. I know the CZ is a stout pistol, and I have little experience with the 92FS and am not sure what the difference is between...

I recieved my new Mossberg 930 "Tactical" with a standard straight stock, which is fine by me. I know that these shotguns like stout loads to break in, and that isn't a problem. It has the funky "breacher" barrel, and I have a 2 round nordic mag extension on it. I like how it feels. I have the...

bang 'em up In all actuality, the salesman said simply that all other brands were only good for 100 to 200 rounds in a years time. that wasn't thousand rounds. and there was no mention of abuse of said weapon. besides, if I were to buy a weapon that saw lots of abuse, I believe I would go for...

from what ive been told from what ive been told, in 2009 DPMS began chrome lining most of their barrels. thats according the their rep on the phone. the chambers have always been chrome lined afaik. the longer, predador barrels are not chrome lined, as this typically effects accuracy, as ive...

barrels my barrel and chamber are chrome lines actually, but the twist is 1/9. I have fired both and tend to like the 1/9 barrel better anyway. I have a lot of 62-69 grain ammo and it performs better out of my barrel. I would have to wonder who colt contracts out to when they cant keep up...

mil spec well, they did say the only difference was that the civilian model wont rock and roll. For my thinking, my rifle is near mil spec. It has the internal and external measurements mil spec, and now the bolt is also. I really think I like my 20 inch barrel better though lol. The thing that...

I dont know, but I was just about ready to open my mouth at sportmans. The gun salesman was telling a couple of new customers that Colt AR 15 rifles are the best of the best and none other come close. He literally told the guys that Bushmaster and DPMS and the other brands offered no military...

trunions I have to dig my AK out to see if its the 23 or 24mm. I am told both sizes were used. I hope it's a 23mm. The guy I spoke to seemed to know all about the Tantal, but wasn't sure how the American made CAI sold recievers might differ. I can't imagine. On the other hand, I am anxious to...

I have found a supply of new RPK74 barrels, with a 1 in 9 twist, and the length is 23 inches. I was wondering if any of you AK lovers out there could tell me if they could be used in a Polish Tantal? I know I was told that I needed to have a 23mm trunion in order to make use of it period. Since...

All good info I see that inspite of lots of people loving .4+ bores, this is a loved 9mm. I do have a lot of surplus "Nato" 9mm, as well as plenty of hand loads. I only use 124-127gr bullets, and ront load many +p. I like winchester ranger and hornady lines in that bullet weight range for the...

I could easily be wrong I don't know if they make them only in blued, or inox. blackened stainlsss would be a great move, but probably run the price right up. I never wanted to get a 92 of any model, but i found that i do shoot well with the model in general, along with my Hi Power. I hope, I...

I am wondering about getting an M9 model. I understand they have made the M9A1 available to the public also. My questions are simple.... To those who know these pistols well, should I get the Inox, or the Blued? Also, what modifications are recomended? I will be sticking to 9mm for this one...

my choice My choice is indeed a ruger new blackhawk model. I am a fan of ruger, so i just feel comfortable going with them. as far as the vaquero, I plan on a 357 version down the road. I wouldnt get wild with either, but would like to handle all but the heaviest buffalo bore loads with...
