+1 on the HK P30S V3. Very ergonomic as well. Here, HK applied all their 'lessons learned' from their previous products. -1 for CZ75 series pistols because I feel they 'flip up' more. I think this is due to their slide's center of mass that sits higher wrt the frame.

I notice that the Clymers aren't cheap. But I have been seeing (and buying) .30-06 war relics and want have some peace of mind that their headspaces are ok thus safe to shoot. I also have spare bolts for my Garands, '03's, and 1917's. I thought it may be good to have some confirmation that...

Hello Everybody, After gathering a modest collection of .30-06 rifles thru the years, i.e., '03's. 03-A3's. 1917's, and M1 Garands, I'm now thinking of getting a throat, G0, and No-Go gauges. I have acquired a Ted Brown muzzle gauge so I'm good on that. What brand of Go, No-Go gauges...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how a non-NM GI M1 Garand barrel would gauge for muzzle erosion? I have Ted Brown's muzzle erosion gauge and I see .30125" on the two Service Grade M-1's I've checked. Given this, I'm curious as to how a brand new non-NM GI Garand barrel would gauge on its muzzle...

I have the same problem on my P220ST. It happened right after an Enhancement Package and Short Trigger reset jobs at SIG. I used Winchester white box and Fed Eagle and would happen regardless. It would FTE on every other round. When it works good, it's one heck of an accurate piece. I...

Since I have to get more magazines, please let me know if magazines of later Supermatic models (past the First Model) will work well. Thanks in advance for your comments.

[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG][/IMG] Here are photos of my recently-acquired First Model Supermatic. Given that these were made in 1950-51, I was thinking of replacing what I suppose are critical parts such as the main recoil spring and the firing pins. Can you guys think of other parts I should consider...

Walther P88

I mean to shoot this pistol. It is not a pristine Colt SAA serial number 2 so to speak. The balance of the pistol felt good, and I trust the quality of manufacture for durability and accuracy. These made me choose this $390 gun over the Walther P22. I will religiously clean and mantain this...

In the Blue Book, we found the exact description to be under the "Semi-Auto, Lever Name Series". This comes before the 100 and 101 Series. It further states.. "Supermatic (First Model) - .22 LRcal., 4-1/2 or 6-3/4 in. interchangeable barrel with lever takedown, Davis Adj. sight, trigger...

After carefully reading the Blue Book and examining the Supermatic, it was determined that it's is a First Model with a 6-3/4" bbl. I should have it by this Saturday and will post photos.

Skylerbone: thanks for that link. Looks the price I'm being offered is a bargain as you said, regardless of the variant. Are these Supermatics delicate which is why they shouldn't be shot much? Or is it the collector value? I was attracted to it because the price comes close to new Walther P22.

With the price of ammo, I have been seriously thinking of getting a .22lr pistol. Then I see at a local store, a High Standard Supermatic. It has a 6-3/4" heavy barrel, a brown plastic grip w/ semi-thumb rest. It has rib serrations between the front and rear sights as well as the front and back...
