    How many lemons...

    I've seen so many stories of Taurus' that have made numerous trips for repair & come back still not fixed. One must wonder if they simply do nothing but ship guns back till a customer gives up. Taurus isn't exported; it's deported from Brazil. The only thing they do well is make great ads to...

    How many lemons...

    So much for avoiding problems by going with "quality brands." Evidently, S&W's quality control folks didn't look carefully enough either. It's rather sad that the customer has to be QC. After all, how many first-time gun owners do you imagine even know what a canted barrel is? I'm guessing...

    I've used SGammo 3 times and each time the order shipped out the same day, arriving 2 business days later. I'd highly recommend them.

    I too have an ample supply of ammo on hand. My ammo stash must weigh as much as I do & I'm not a small guy. I to knew there was going to be a wait. It's the endless misrepresentations (whether intentional or not -- I don't know) that have me ticked. The simple fact is they took way more...

    Kind of hard to convey a message of "cancel" to a company that is impossible to contact. Calling either of their phone numbers gets no answer. It gets a voice mailbox which is full, thus I can't even leave a message. Presumably it's full from customers who are feeling worried that they may...

    Sticking with "same" ammo for defense and practice

    Yeah, I think we can safely say defense will be under 25 yards unless one comes up with a hostage situation where a sniper has to take out an armed bad guy. Some guns (think Ruger LCP) have tiny bumps that can't seriously be deemed sights. Even with top quality sights kind of hard to imagine...

    How many lemons...

    have you had to send back to the factory for repair? It's impossible to tell based upon Internet posts. After all, there's not much posting about the non-event of a gun working as a gun is supposed to work. Vast more posting on guns that fail to work properly. Given that obvious bias, I...

    I understand it's a small Mom & Pop shop. But customers keep being told one lie after another. Mid-Arpil, the originally promised time, was two & a half months ago. Later their web site stated 9mm was back ordered by 6 weeks. I first read that in mid-April, and by my count more than 6 weeks...

    Cleaning a Glock's bore

    I bet gang bangers who stuff then in their waist band sans holster never clean them. Makes me wonder how many gang bangers have found "decocker" can have painful double meaning that way? Bet you didn't know Glocks came with a decocker, did you?:)

    Cleaning a Glock's bore

    I've never yet had any barrel so fouled as to need a stainless steel brush. Just to be on the safe side, I'd prefer to avoid using steel to clean any gun if at all possible. And you do indeed have some exceptionally pristine barrels there. If you hadn't told me, I would have guessed they...

    Just called their other number: (775) 857-1111. Again no answer & voice mail is full.

    Jack (not be quick) Ross

    I just called Jack Ross a moment ago at 1-877-818-AMMO. No answer. Was unable to leave message as their voice mail is full. Gee, I wonder what it might be full of? Perhaps angry messages laced with many an expletive would be my guess.

    What keeps a .454 Casull out of a .410 gun?

    If a .454 would fit in a Judge (or hand grenade with that load), it would be an even more potent hand grenade with a .460 Magnum. A .460 Mag surely couldn't be too long, as the Judge (or S&W Governor) chamber has to be long enough to at least fit .410 shells that are all longer than even the...

    Jack (not be quick) Ross

    Anybody know what's going on with them? Their Facebook page has magically disappeared, which doesn't bode well. My order for 1,000 9mm reloads placed the morning of April 1 still is nowhere to be found. That makes this 3 months & a day. So, the first trimester is over. Are they giving...

    Cleaning a Glock's bore

    As a novice Glock owner I found how Glock's nylon brush doesn't fully do the job after I cleaned my G34 using it and produced nice clean patches. I'd cleaned it numerous times this way & it had seemed to work fine. Then one day I clean it as usual & I held the barrel up to a light & it...
