I have a pistol with an extractor pin that wants to get loose now and again and back out. When it does it launches the extractor and the spring under it is lost. I have the idea to put a drop of Loctite on the bottom side of the pic to keep it from loosening. Any suggestion if this is a bad...

Over the holidays my Wife and I had a "strange" encounter with an odd guy that approached us in an unusual area we walk our dogs, in the dark. Turned out to be no big deal but the guy was way too friendly in a creepy kind of "what is this guy doing?" kind of way. My Wife commented later that I...

...Brothers and Gun Buddies in town for the holidays. I'll likely push that last pound to the dregs. I'm starting to get worried now. Have not seen any Unique or BE-86 or *any* pistol powder for weeks/months. Just bummed and wanted to vent. Apologies in advance as I ration my very last. VooDoo

...50 rounds of Fiocchi 95 gr. Ball, 50 rounds of Winchester Train and Defend "Train" ammunition and 150 rounds of hand loads. The hand loads are *hot* hand loads developed for my Wife's G42 and we have shot quite a few of them. Xtreme 100 gr. flat nose plated bullets in mixed brass over 3.8 gr...

I like to train daily in like 20 minute increments 2X a day/5 days a week and spotted these training aids. Basically a caliber specific cartridge that fits in the chamber of your pistol and emits a 1/10th of a second beam/dot every time it is struck by the firing pin...

I'm starting to buy pistols with the idea of fixing them up and selling them. My local FFL who has been handling the shipping and transfers for me (only purchases so far) has told me that if I buy a pistol specifically to flip it/sell it that I should have an FFL and do things "the right way". I...

...texture I want for the hard chrome. I don't really care for flashy, highly polished guns and like the look of brushed flats and matte rounds *but* I wonder what a gun looks like if all surfaces are matte finished. Opinions and pictures are solicited please. I'm looking to get as much...

...but the lack of deep pitting and rust is surprising on a 91 year old gun. Here's what she looks like inside: I'm worried a bit about *why* it left the factory in the white having been told that when this happened they were usually purchased directly from the factory to be engraved and...

...almost 30 years ended last Spring 2013. I'm a "point" shooting advocate and shoot reflexively and instinctively and have been training myself *not* to use my sights which I understand is highly subjective and, in some cases, frowned upon in higher training circles. I'm not opposed to bulls...

...to refinish a Colt 1903 pistol in hard chrome. Having done some research I'm strongly leaning towards Ford's Custom Gun Refinishing to do the work *but* have not ruled out several others. http://www.fordsguns.com/ My question for those who have done such things before: What about...

There have been several short threads on the Beretta Pico. Some folks know I'm wanting one of these and have been reading and researching them for some time as I'm a Beretta lover in general and the Pico concept appeals to me. Anyway, my LGS/Shooting Range Buddy told me today that they have 2...

Never thought I'd be interested but I am and have to ask now for advice or a show of hands from guys who live in Illinois and actually have an SBR. I'm wanting to get into MP5 format guns and would like to go SBR but live in Illinois - some guys (none of who live in Illinois) think it's no...

...last Summer. I also have a S&W model 19 and a Ruger 3 screw Blackhawk in .357. Went to the range with revolvers only yesterday and absolutely *HaMmErEd!* the middle out of the targets at 21' in brisk triple taps with full house 158 gr. .357 and a bunch of hand loaded .38 Special that has...

I have a Universal cal. 30 M1 Carbine....the "newer" one built in Florida...it's a model 1003 with the ventilated metal shroud/hand guard. I bought it brand new in the early '80's, shot maybe 50 rounds thru it, cleaned it, oiled it, put it in the box (with the original manual and factory 5 round...

Got my Xtreme Bullets .380's today and started loading into cases I charged yesterday. I only have my Glock 42 in .380 and wanted to begin working up my .380 so that it was short enough to chamber in other guns as I know the Glocks tend to be able to chamber some long cartridges. So I borrowed a...

...shoot in .38 Special, .357 Mag, .32 acp, 9mm, and now I'll be working up .380 acp. We always practive with what we use for SD and in autoloaders I *really* like flat nose lead or plated when I can get it. I ordered Xtreme Bullets 100 gr. plated flat noses for the .380 and will start with...

...unbelievably expensive so I started researching clones and came upon Vector Arms V94. The fit and finish looks pretty good and the price is right *but* reviews seem very mixed. Older reviews have them ranging from complete junk to pretty good but the reviews mostly go back at least 3 years...

..."collectible"? On the site I got the Superior Cartridges pix from I saw that a box like this is worth maybe $120. Not that I'm crazy for money *but* I am not a collector and I know folks who collect stuff ike knives and things. I'm never gonna shoot the ammunition nor do I appreciate the...

Lookie what showed up in the mail Friday! :what: :eek: Ordered in November of last year...really, I have wanted a snubbie tube for my Dan Wesson 15-2VH .357 for 30+ years and now I finally have one! Shown here mounted on the inherited gun along with the Hogue fancy wood finger grip stock...

...enjoyable on a single stage press using Unique which I weigh each and every charge 'cause it meters "not so well". I'm researching rifles and *really! would like an AR-15 but I'm intimidated about loading .223 because of the extra procedures...mostly because I have never done it nor been...
