You do realize that Hoppes sells a cologne. Same smell...no oily residue! It's a hit with the ladies. :uhoh:

ooooohh!! That Thar is a gotcha!! I only have two..the model 22 and the 35. I've put Vanek triggers in both..and one I duracoated in OD green. This is the one firearm that I don't mind tinkering with. It's so darn easy to disassemble...and work on that it's almost scary. The 22 was my...

I just called S&W and cried my woes to him. After a few minutes of talking about California's new laws..he finally advised me to send it in. It's obvious that it should not be jamming the way it is..so he's sending a return label to send her on in. Mentioned that the chamber could need some...

When I first bought the gun, I was not informed that you could not use Hi Velocity Mini-mags in it. I found out real quickly, that you cannot. I tried some CCI Mini-Mags and they would not cycle..at all! I then attempted others! I tried Aguila standard velocity, Wolf Match ammo standard...

That was actually funny! I still like more expensive 1911's! I've owned Kimbers...still do! Never shot a new 1911 under $800. I started with a Kimber CDP Pro II. Hated it!! I owned a new Kimber Target...nice gun...but it was stolen. I DO have a cool gun that I bought used. It was an...

You are right! They ALL should work! It's just so much nicer with a beautiful trigger... impecible finish...and superb accuracy. HOWEVER...they should all go bang without fail!

I have a dilema. I stepped up and decided to buy a model 41 a few months ago at a local store that just happened to have one. I bought the 7" barrel. I'm all excited...take some ammo down to the range I frequent..and commence to shooting. There are a few lessons that I learned that day...

They will ALL run out of the box..usually! The more expensive guns just run better with supreme accuracy! (as long as I do my part!)

I made the stupid decision to buy a Ruger LCR with a CT grip...thinking it would be perfect for my wife. All I had to do was zero in the laser and we were going to be all set. WRONG!! That little revolver with a service load in it sucks to shoot in any practice situation. I shoot a...

I had a gentleman from the local reloading shop tutor me on the ABC's of reloading. He gave me three lessons and then invited me to his home where he had a nice set-up for reloading. He watched EVERYTHING I did. I loaded 3 boxes (50) of .308 and 100 rounds of 45 acp. The 1st time I...

I agree!! I just traded in a CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical for my EAA Witness Limited!! When I reloaded for the CZ, the length of seat would have to be way below any published OCL...which made me a bit nervouse concerning pressures. Switched to EAA...EVERYTHING feeds...except 147's for some odd reason!!

I am in love with 1911's!! They all work flawlessly with a rare exception. Les Baer Premier - eats anything Les Baer Premier II - eats everything Ed Brown Special Forces - Eats everything Wilson Combat CQB - eats everything Springfield trophy match - jams on everything but 230g RN...

I almost thought that this was MY post! I was having the same problems with my 9mm. One of the members here suggested that I use 4.1 or 4.2g of tite group on a 124g fmj. I did! It gave stellar results. I then tried Power Pistol over a 115g FMJ and it was even better. I cannot remember the...

I just purchased a NEW S&W Model 41 (22 cal.) I don't know WHY I bought it, except I had a hankering for a quality .22....so I bought it! I do have a question though. For all of you that may own one of these...what ammo can you successfuly shoot out of this thing without jamming? I've...

WWAAAYYYY too clean for any work being done!! You must be an engineer!!
