    What’s the status of aluminum case handgun ammo?

    I’ve shot the Blazer aluminum case thru both revolvers and semiautomatics. Not a problem with either.

    New Ruger Security 9

    I have an old Gould & Goodrich 803-229 holster - sized for a Sig 229 but fit my S&W 908 just fine. What do ya know...the Security 9 fits like it was made for it.

    New Ruger Security 9

    I too picked up a Security 9 recently. After going on a single stack binge for a while, got very intrigued about a low cost double stack. Several things I like about this pistol 1. Can’t beat the value 2. Really nice, surprisingly nice tigger for the price point. 3. Feels very comfortable in my...

    RFI: Bersa Thunder Concealed Carry

    I have Bersa Thunders in 22 and 380. Wonderful and very reliable little pistols. The 22 is ammo sensitive - standard velocity won’t cycle the close - but with MiniMags it is nearly flawless. The 380, a 2013 manufacture that I picked up used, is 100%. Both are accurate due to their fixed...

    The Walther P22 vs the Smith&Wesson M&P-22 vs the Ruger SR22 vs the Steyr RFP etc.

    I have a Ruger MK III 22/45 and was looking for another fun plinker. I love the MK and it’s a tack driver. Considered the Ruger SR 22, Walther PPK/s and the Bersa Thunder 22. Ended up with the Bersa. Nice little pistol, lots of cool factor and an easy $60 cheaper than any of the others. It’s...

    New 1911

    Look at the Rogers in both 45 and 9mm. I have the Lightweight Commander (4.25 inch as opposed to 5 inch standard) in 9mm. Think they run about $750. Can’t speak for the 45 but my LW Commander is a soft shooting and accurate 1911. Good trigger out of the box, fit and finish are really nice -...

    Need a new 22

    Cowbell....was looking at the same pistols a while back. And for the same reasons. I chose the Bersa Thunder 22. Liked the general reliability of the Ruger SR22 but not its looks or how it felt in my hand. Loved the sexy Walther PPK/S but read a number of reviews about reliability and its...

    Tanker holster

    Aarond....I have the Pacific Canvas and Leather tanker for a 4" S&W Model 10. Fits the revolver beautifully and I do wear it when I ride the motorcycle when it's a bit colder...cold enough to wear the leather bomber jacket. Very comfortable rig and can't beat the price. Still searching for the...

    Finally scratched the itch S&W third gen 9mm single stack 909

    My 909 is all beat to hell, machine marks on the top of the slide, losing finish ... apparently it had a hard life before I got it. So I kinda got it for a song. But the bore is clean, the DA trigger is amazingly similar in length and weight to my Model 10-5 and nearly as smooth, the SA has a...

    Consensus on Ruger SR 1911 Commander

    I have a Ruger LW Commander in 9mm. Wonder pistol! Accurate, well balanced, and virtually flawless with any ammo I've run through it. Couldn't be more pleased. Did put some Eagle grips on it..,.and recycled the original rubber grips to my Mk III 22/45.

    Didja ever buy a cheap pistol?

    I've tried to reply to this thread earlier, but some software glitch prevented me. No matter. Best deal I ever got was a beat to hell S&W 909. Looks horrible, shoots GREAT! All for $165. Love me some 9mm single stack goodness.

    SR1911 9mm

    I've had my SR1911 9mm for a couple of months now. Wonderful pistol, fit and finish seem to be as good or better than any other 1911. Probably 400+ rounds of every type and bullet weight without a single malfunction. And accurate enough for me! Seems to like 124 gr rounds the best. Or that could...

    Disaster Holster?

    Was looking at these as a result of your post. Frankly, the Uncle Mikes looks really good at a very reasonable price. In my mind, a great option for range and field use. Thanks for pointing this one out.
