MCgunner.."Down here, they can double as formal wear." Amen!!!! Wearin' em right now!

RCmodel, There have been 9 and 10 footers killed quite regularly down here in Texas. I used to laugh at the late Steve Irwin when he would find a rattler someplace and in his trademark Aussie accent " Look at the size of that snaiiiike!!!! I used to think to myself, you should see the monsters...

Hello Gents, I am currently in the process of engraving some letters on a couple of guns using an engraver. Not hand engraved like I would like to, just simple letters. Question is, since these guns are coated with a finish ( Beretta Bruniton) , what, if any, post op treatment would you...

Citronella bug spray

Well, going back to the original question...............What to do if carrying with or without a CHL at a USBP checkpoint in Texas. Like some posters already said, don't say anything unless you are asked to step out of the vehicle. Not that you will be breaking a Federal law (or State law in the...

Here is my first holster ever........ First, I messed up in the selection of leather thickness, too soft....Second, I cut the forward belt loop too close to the gun........Third, I didn't quite cut it to barrel's correct length although a three incher would look awesome. Anyways, my first...

Hey before you do that, check www.caspianarms.com They have a sweet recon kit that's in stainless, has a lot of parts included and is a hell of a lot cheaper. Matter of fact, My brodder and I just bought one and its nice...

Why the short slide on a full sized frame? Well.....Capacity, better grip, all my other 1911 grips fit, none of my buddies has one, I could go on and on....besides, the real issue to me was not the concealability of it but the presentation. Clears leather faster. As to how it shoots, I've...

Here is a group pic with one that I built. I wanted a short slide 45 on a full size frame. Couldn't find one or they were super expensive, so I built one. I used a Colt Series 70 frame and an Officer sized slide I bought on Evil-bay. The internals are mix and match Colt and Wilson's. The barrel...

Hey Duck, I found this on the net.......its some crap ti fix aluminum and alloys www.durafix.com in case you want to switch out that mag release as suggested.

Actually, the barrel only comes out backwards.......coltautos.com has disassembly instructions and this is how it should be done. But, if yours has the crescent hole and so do others, well I am happy then.......Thanks for the help.

gb6491- +1 on the Ceramacoat...only thing, I noticed yours is grainy, which is not a bad thing at all....I did this on an old Tokarev's slide and the finish was very smooth, almost satiny:eek:. Maybe I did something wrong?

Hello gents, it's been a while since I posted, too much work........Anyways, I have a question regarding a little 25 auto that I recently acquired. It has an unusual amount of wear on the upper part of the front area of the slide, in other words, where the front upper part of the slide should...

Thanks!!!!! You made my day, I needed that good laugh. BTW, I own a coupler Glocks, I like 'em , but, I wouldn't dare state they are THE BEST handgun ever made. I am more of a 1911 and revolver type of guy. IMHO, age pretty much dictates what you like. As for the 1911 being outdated, well...
