I am thinking about buying a commander size 1911 and see that S&W offers this model in scandium alloy frame, 4.25" bbl, without a firing pin block and with a GI type guide rod. This pistol comes in two tone SS/blk and all blk Melonite with an Ed Brown type bobbed carry handle. :cool:Anyone own...

These are some of the same sentiments I have. 1. Do I really need another pistol? 2. Will ammo be available in 5-10 yrs? 3. Yes, I would like to shoot one but how much use would I get out of it? 4. What niche does it fill? 5. It probably wouldn't supplant my MP9c as my carry pistol. On the...

I have been thinking about buying the RIA .22TCM. I'm intrigued by this new chambering in a 1911 platform. Would someone with experience weigh in with +/-'s. Thanks

Interested in how that .30cal carbine round shoots in the Blackhawk. I've had a notion of buying one.

I inherited from my brothers estate. This pistol is in very good shape. It has been shot before but don't know how much. My problem is, I'm having difficulty removing the wedge from the frame to allow me to remove the cylinder for inspection and cleaning. Any trick to doing this or do I just...

Has anybody used Cagungunworks services on a CZ pistol? I have a very nice CZ75D compact 9mm that has 500 or so rounds through it. The double action trigger reach is too long for me, the single action trigger is perfect. It's a decocker style pistol. My question is, has anyone used the...

I like all three of my Ruger's. I have a MKIII deluxe Target/Competition edition 5.5" Slabside bbl. A SS Hunter MKIII with 7" fluted bull bbl. Getting to be my favorite is a SS single-six convertible with .22lr and .22wmr cylinders with 7.5" bbl. Honestly, shooting on display black over...

I agree. My CZ455 American shoots like a dream. I've had several scopes on it from a cheap BSA, a Nikon 3-12x and it's favorite an old B&L 2.5-10x Balfour. Shoots great out to 200 yds with the .17HMR bbl and is deadly at 50-100 yds with the .22LR bbl. Squirrels don't have a chance...

Thanks, I'll try each suggestion in order to see which works best.

Oh, btw, this shotgun has only one very light solitary scratch on the left side of the receiver--but other than that it is perfect. It is not the more valued Trap-model with the engraved receiver. I have replaced the recoil pad so that's not original. The VR is a Simmons Trap with a...

I have a pristine early model SX-1. I'm sure it has the original first generation trigger assembly. This trigger has an allen screw trigger adjustment. I also believe it has the older dual spring set up. Anyway, I have tried to adjust the trigger for some pre-travel but not a lot. The...

I have a beautiful M59 12 ga. with the Win-Lite barrel and screw-in chokes in IC and Mod. I use this gun sparingly and mainly for quail. My problem is the chokes become loose after shooting several rounds and I must continually hand-tighten them. I'm afraid that one day I may forget to check...

Everyone keeps mentioning early model P238's as somewhat unreliable until the fixes or updates were put in place??? What SN# and before would be considered early models?

I have a chance to go on an extended dove hunt to a South Texas ranch. I will take a Weatherby SA-08 20 ga. and my Citori Lightning 12ga OU both of which are 26" bbls. I would like to get some aftermarket screw in extended chokes that would pattern my shotguns better for fast flying doves but...

I bought this shotgun from a friend of mine who can no longer hunt. It says Ducks Unlimited in gold on the right side of the receiver. It came with 3 chokes but no papers or box. I have wanted at times to shoot it but have plenty of shotguns to shoot without shooting this one. It has...
