    AR 9 using the Endomag conversion

    I went the MEAN Arms EndoMag (I have 3) route so I could use standard Magpul AR15 magazines. I have the FM Products 8.5" Colt style upper paired with a standard PSA AR-15 lower and the fit between the two was precise. The function between the components has been flawless. I have not had to...

    Mushroomed .223 cases

    How inconsistent? What is the charge in grains that you are trying to achieve and what is the plus/minus you are getting; say over 10 charge cycles? I use the Lee Auto Drum for my 9mm, .40 S&W and .223/5.56 powder loads. I usually get +/- 0.05 grains variation per powder dump but will accept...

    New Sig RX slide on an old P229?

    I thought about doing that with my P229 I purchased in 1994. Sig customer support should be able to answer the compatibility question for you. I didn't make the change; purchased a P320RX for slightly more than what the RX Slide would have cost.

    Lucas Oil Products

    The base stock in the Lucas products appears to be a highly refined mineral oil; chances are the sulfur content is measured in Parts per Million. We would need to see the material analysis to know the range that may be present. I'd say its a very low PPM number and would not have any concern...

    Lucas Oil Products

    The primary additive in the Lucas Extreme Gun Oil is Zinc Alkyldithiophosphate; looks about 15% per the MSDS. It is a multipurpose additive that is particularly suited for a rust and corrosion inhibitor as well as an effective anti-wear agent. The Zinc Alkyldithiophosphate forms a film and...

    Recommend replacement sights for my G-42 P l e a s e ??

    The above products would be excellent choices. Here are a couple of more: http://www.truglo.com/firearms/handgun.asp https://www.xssights.com/Handgun_Sights_pr-8208.aspx I picked up a Glock 42 several weeks ago and plan to change the front sight to something that provides a bit more...

    Hodgdon CFE Pistol

    CFE Pistol is the only powder I've used since starting reloading several years ago. I use it for 95-100 grain .380 Auto loads, 124-125 grain 9mm loads and 165 grain .40 S&W loads. I don't max out my powder loads for each caliber; usually a couple of tenths of a grain below the maximum...

    Taurus offering lifetime warranty

    I have a G2 with the lifetime warranty. If you send it in for covered repair, plan to be without the firearm for 8 - 12 weeks. I sent my G2 in for a trigger issue. Although Taurus said they addressed/corrected the issue, it came back unresolved.

    Not familiar with the Cytac; take a look at the Alien Gear holsters. I have three of them for OWB; Sig 229, Sig P320 and Millenium G2.

    Whats the deal on shipping??

    Seems to be SOP for many online vendors. I try to support vendors that have stated shipping times like within 24 hours, 1 or 2 business days, etc and then actually meet or exceed their shipping commitments. I ordered a replacement laptop battery yesterday from an eBay vendor; I had the USPS...

    holster for taurus G2C?

    Not sure what your "tight budget" equates to in dollars but you my take a look at Bullard Leather. I'm pretty sure he has several options available for the G2. https://www.bullardleather.com/

    Helpless Venezuelans lament losing guns, right to stand up to government

    True. Wasn't it Mao that said "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun." The guns of the Russian Communist Party created socialism back in the Marx, Lenin, Stalin days. The Venezuela citizens were duped by Maduro and largely unarmed have little means to oust him from power. First...

    .556 match ammo

    Look at Rock Creek Precision Ammunition; Weatherford, TX I have not shot this brand as it is fairly new to the market. They are gaining a very good reputation among the "Run & Gun" community in Texas. From what I have heard the round maintains a flatter trajectory out to 600 yards and is less...
