My buddy had the same problem... turns out he was moving the gun left and down to see where on the target the round hit. So he was pulling the trigger and moving the gun out of the way to see his hit at the same time. Once he realized what he was doing and concentrated on holding the gun up for...

Hate the grips and the trigger on that Cabot.... Now THIS is a beautiful gun!! (Smith and Wesson Model 19-2 .357 Magnum) You can find them new in the box with a little searching for less than $1,000.

The Rossi I got to replace the LCR has a very sweet trigger, half what the LCR was, not sure how they did it but it fires any ammo I try, no light strikes. I have the 4" barrel but it also comes in a 2" (at least I think it does) http://www.rossiusa.com/product-details.cfm?id=228 EDIT: Well...

kcofohio said: "Just curious Fred, Ruger wouldn't make it right?" I didn't even want to try... I was really down on it at that point.... like I said the gun was also cheap feeling and I had little hope for a good replacement based on the forum posts I read (not this forum). I have a Ruger...

Well mine was a POS! Maybe mine was an anomaly. It came with a limited edition olive drab coating that started to flake off as soon as I touched it. The cylinder was also very loose. I gave it a chance a shot it some... soon the cylinder broke free and would spin while close in the frame. Also...

Ruger LCR 22 What a piece of junk! It had a limited edition olive drab finish that started flaking off the moment it was handled. The cylinder was way sloppy and after a few rounds it broke free and would just spin... while closed in the frame. Took it back to my dealer and got a Rossi .22...

Ralphie would have been charged with a felony sent to prison for 3 years in New Jersey.... regardless of the fact he is a child: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/12/10/bb-gun-control-in-new-jersey-kids-rite-passage-could-mean-felony/

A buddy of mine filed for Chapter 7 a few years ago in KS, he had 5 various type of handguns/long guns. He told me that his lawyer told him to sell them off otherwise the court would force them sold, probably for much less than he got selling them himself. He had to provide sales receipts and...

Two week ago!! :D Actually it was $515.00 I rounded down (not counting shipping $25 and FFl transfer $25). On the 1911 Forum with the AO section, there are guys reporting paying as low as $480 (that might have a year ago though)

Yeah the shorter 1911's seem to be a bit more troublesome, and before there are posts from owners of short barrel 1911's telling me how perfect theirs works, I will say that most of them do work OK from what I have read. But the 1911 was designed around the 5" barrel and seems to be what works...

GI 1911's are the only semi-autos I really like. And if I have a 1911 it will be .45 ACP, GI configuration and full size. I have zero interest in any of the shorter length 1911's or any of the "new" style 1911's. It's a personal preference thing... just what I like! This is my Khar Made...

I posted part of this in the thread about .38 vs .380 vs 9mm. Seems appropriate here as well. I'm a revolver guy and loath any semi-auto other than GI 1911's. (especially mouse semi's and especially plastic guns). I even loath the new fancy 1911's with their beaver tails and extended and ambi...

I am a died in the wool revolver guy and have several, the only semi-auto I have is a GI 1911. I either carry my full size 1911 or my SP101 .357 snub and on occasion I carry my 4 inch S&W Model 10 .38. All that said... in truth a revolver has more moving parts and is more complex than a...

I had a new .38 snub two years ago. A total mess! Ejector star was all chewed up and cylinder was very loose. Returned it and got another, within a week the transfer bar broke in half. That was enough for me, returned it and got a Ruger SP101. Now if I could find one from the 60's or 70's I...
