I'm doing the same kind of build-- suppressed and non-suppressed 7" ADCO bbl in an A4 RRA upper on my Colt 6450 lower. I'm probably going to put an Apex handguard on it but have to admit that could change in the time it takes to get the tax stamps. Added: I was mistaken in remembering that...

This was the first complete waste of time at the Chantilly show I've ever experienced. I got there at 2pm (an hour before opening), and unlike the ridiculously long ticket lines an hour before previous shows, I walked right up to the ticket/hand-stamping place and took a place in line maybe 50...

Slogans take on a life of their own in internet gun forums A gun is a gun. Using "tool" to describe some kind of category into which guns fall is meaningless because it's so broad and generic that it can be applied to just about anything one does something with--cars, Baccarat crystal, beer...

LGS here has a consigned 4" Trooper Mk III...for $850. $200 is phenomenal.

Top condition 8 3/8" 27-2s here (Wash DC Virginia suburbs) go for around $700--if you can find them. Note to Allen in MT--My wife is from Miles City, my mother's family was in Helena, and I went to college in Missoula.

Re "...If you watch the various auction sites (gunbroker, auctionarms, etc.) you will see barrels & shrouds come up for bid from time to time." There are also quite a few DW barrels (and other DW items) on EBay now.

Traction isn't a problem here. My hands are sufficiently big that even with L-and N-frame S&Ws a couple of knuckles inevitably get battered by .357- and .44-magnum shooting. Without gloves about 18 rounds is all I can take. With them, I can shoot until my arms get tired, and much more...

Nice! Based on experience, check under the foam. You might find the manual, DW patch, DW belt buckle, And extra sights.

Hmpfff. I developed my addiction to classical music in general and opera in particular in Montana And am therefore officially offended. (Ugly is ugly, no matter how daintily and euphemistically couched).

Maybe "ugly" isn't the right word, so much as that they spoil gun's the classic lines. Kind of like training wheels on a Harley or an aftermarket JC Whitney spoiler on a classic 356-series Porsche.

Large hand here-knuckle of my middle finger gets battered black and blue by standard mag loads in the L- and N- frame S&Ws. At first I thought based on what I had read (but not seen) maybe these would be the solution, but they're ugly and apparently the gun equivalent of vaporware, and it's...

I thought I was out of my mind when I bought a 9mm 1911 last winter. It was incredible first time out and before I knew it I was ignoring just about all my other guns to shoot it despite the limited capacity of the single-stack mags. I've put so many rounds through it I thought I'd better get...

I'm not sure I notice much if any difference in recoil between the two. Sometimes I think maybe the 165 is a very tiny bit "snappier" if it's possible to distinguish snappiness from recoil. The force of the 165 vs. the 180 will be the product of lower mass x higher velocity; for the 180 vs. the...

The thread is a little dated, but the question is a valid one for a new reason: the renewed disingenuous whining about needing legislation banning "hi capacity" magazines because "anything that holds more than 10 is designed for the sole purpose of killing lots of people as quickly as...
