Check out www.shotgunworld.com and look at the classifieds. I've seen a lot of good deals on all kinds of O/U shotguns. You can also find a lot of good advice on anything shotgun-related.

Got me a sweet deal Glock 34 worked on by Robar with a nice NP3 finish and grip stippling.

If you get the G33, you can use your G22 mags on it, too. You can also buy a .40 barrel for it. Of course, you can get the G27 and then get the .357 barrel for it.

If you can handle the 40, you can handle the 357 Sig. The 357 Sig feels snappier but it has less muzzle flip than the 40. I have a Sig 229 and I have a LOT more fun shooting 357 Sig out of it.

For a gun that old with reasonable wear and the mags you mentioned, I think Lonestar's estimate of $300 is pretty reasonable. I sold my new-ish XD9 last year FTF with 2 15-rd mags for $350.00 but I was kind of in a hurry to sell it. If you do an FTF deal, you can get more money if you figure...

I have one and love it. Very accurate and reliable. I'll have to agree about the finish. It seems to be quick to show wear. I got mine used so don't know the round count but my slide stop broke after I put about 2000 rounds through it. Not a good sign but it was an easy fix. Got a good...

Meps for me I prefer Meps because they have slightly bigger beads than the Trijicons - more reassuring to me in the dark. They seem to be a little bit brighter, too.

I've owned a G17, 19, 20, 30, 31 and a 35. I've also owned an XD9 and an XD40. I much prefer the Glock trigger. I like the shorter travel and the shorter reset. The XDs are good guns but they just didn't do it for me. A lot of this is based on subjective feel, of course. Somehow, the XD didn't...

Thanks, Bearman. I disassembled the sidesaddle and there were no clips in it. The pins are two-piece screw-on dealies.

Found everything at Brownell's. Thanks, everyone!

Sweet! Thanks, guys! So I need 2 spring clips, one for each? Do you guys know the actual name of the se clips? Thanks again, Derek

Hi all, My girlfriend recently bought a Wingmaster that came with a sidesaddle. She doesn't like it because it hits her arm when cycling the action. I can easily remove the sidesaddle by unscrewing the pins but will need to replace the trigger plate pins with the factory parts. So I...

I have Pro-mags for my Sig P229 and they suck too. I filed a bit of metal off of the mag catch slot and they seem to work better, but they're only for range action.

happy with mine I have an internal extractor Custom II that I am very happy with. One of my most accurate shooters. I had an issue with it where the slide stop claw broke and wouldn't lock back the slide, although the pistol still shot fine. I easily replaced it with an aftermarket part and all...

226 grip The grip is perfect for my medium-sized hands. I'm one of the lucky ones who is able to fit most any pistol grip in my hand. I can get an ideal grip without my fingers jamming into any of the control levers. Of course, YMMV. Th Glock grip is bigger but is not a problem to handle. I...
