    Ruger LCR troubles

    I've searched around briefly, and didn't notice anyone else with this problem. Today at the range, I noticed there was some resistance when I attempted to swing the cylinder close. Upon further inspection, I saw the tip of the firing pin protruding. To get it to return I have to lightly...

    Sheared sight screw...

    Well, I was putting the front sight back on my Ruger 22/45 (MKII) after applying a bit of luminescent paint to help my terrible eyes pick it up. In the process of screwing it back on, I get the HORRIBLE feeling of no more resistance right as it's starting to get snug. I then see that the screw...

    How do these people even keep their job...

    I try to support my local shop whenever possible as they're prices are actually pretty good. Anyway, not too long ago I picked up an M44 they had for sale. To make a long story short, the guy at the counter asks me where I'm going to find ammo. I ask him if they carry any 54R, and he replies...

    Little rant about built-in gun locks...

    For a while now, I have noticed that sometimes it is rather difficult to cock the hammer on my Springer GI .45; almost as if it was getting caught on something. I detailed stripped it down and looked at all the parts trying to see if anything was bent or otherwise faulty. All seemed well, so I...

    What bodily damage have you received from your guns?

    Near the web of my right hand, I have a spot about the width of an airsoft pellet from shooting my Mil Spec. The scar is a result of the sharp edged grip saftey I believe as the hammer comes nowhere close to my hand when cocked. My right big toe is black and blue from my dropping my Loaded...

    Polymer coatings over stainless?

    Well, the worn look of my Loaded (bought used) has finally gotten to me, and I am looking for something new; preferally in black. It's a dedicated range gun, so I am not conscerned about finish wear as it will only be handled during live and dry fire. What I am wondering is if the poylmer...

    GLOCK extended magazine release...

    I just brought my new G22 home today, and have been dry-firing and going through familiarization for most of the evening. One issue I have is the stock magazine release. I find it's nearly impossible to operate when the magazine is loaded to the full 15 round capacity. What I am looking for...

    Update on my purchase decision...

    A family member of mine is selling his unfired GLOCK 22 (3rd gen) for 300 bucks. to help fund an engagement ring (he plan's to ask the girl's hand in marriage Christmas morning) :p I was previously deciding between the XD9, GLOCK 17, and CZ-75. My decision was to go for the GLOCK 17 since it...

    Thinking about getting rid of a gun...

    Let me first say that I am not soliciting here, and am simply weighing my options and gathering info... With Christmas coming up, I am thinking about letting go of my P89 :( I know this seems to be hated by many, but ergonomics aside it's a fine gun for the price I paid and reliable. I...

    Natchez won't ship to my state?!?!

    With the purchase of my new gun just around the corner, I was looking on the Natchez website for some cheap .40cal ammo after the local Wal*Mart kicked the price up to 18.99 a box for the 100 pack :barf: Anyway, as I'm setting up an account on their site, I find out that they won't do...

    Winchester .40 S&W Value Packs

    I made a thread a few weeks awhile back about my struggles at choosing a new gun, and I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with a GLOCK, CZ-75, or XD. Anyway, while deciding, (after 3 months I still have not made up my mind which one I want :banghead: ) I have taken the time to do a lot of...

    Why aren't there many CZ's in shooting competition?

    While I am sure there are people who are using them, all I ever hear about are the 1911s, GLOCKs, and assorted other guns. I enjoy watching shooting matches online and on the television (the 3 times a century they show them :rolleyes: ) and I don't ever recall seeing any CZ's whatsoever. Yet...

    I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND!!! (I may be in need of therapy)

    First off, yes, I have used the search function and read nearly every thread, and am currently a member at Glocktalk, CZUSA Message Board, and XDTalk. For about 3 months now, I have been trying to decide between the Springfield XD-9, GLOCK 17, and CZ-75B; and I CAN'T MAKE A DECISION. Seems...

    Buds Gun Shop?

    Alright, this Christmas I plan on getting a new handgun for under 500 or so. I was checking around online sources, and it seems that this place has some great prices on bunch of products. I saw that they hae Beretta 92FS models NIB for 485. The lowest I seen here locally is 579 at most shops. Is...

    Any quality gunsmiths in the Mobile area?

    I am thinking about getting some work done on my Mil-Spec and before I go through the hassels of shipping it off, I wanted to know if there were any reputable ones close to me. I would like to get my slide cut for new sights, and some Heinie installed, barrel and bushing fitted, and some other...

    Absolutely NO gun ranges in my town...

    And the hits just keep on comin.' Seems like whenever I get interested in something, negatives things always seem to be close behind. I currently live in Mobile, Alabama and the only gun range in my town (that I know of) has closed down :cuss: This place was very laid back and you could do...

    Military and hollowpoint ammo...

    I am not well versed in this area, but it is my understanding all forms of expanding hollowpoint ammunition are prohibited for use in combat (by the Hague Convention?) I have heard that it was instituted because it was decided that hollowpoint ammunition would impart to undue suffering on...

    Anyone know of some good gun/competition video clips?

    Let me say first of all that I have used the search function, but that usually turns up threads directed towards gunsmithing videos, cinema, etc. which is not really what I am looking for. I was just looking for stuff along the lines of the clips they have at Andersonshooting, HKPro...

    Reputable Online Retailers

    Hello all, I plan of getting some new grips for my Ruger P89. I am currently leaning towards the Hogue Grips, but I am open to suggestion to other brands. I was wondering what is the best online retailer to pick up a set of handguns grips. CDNN Investments seems to be a good place to start...

    The Shield

    Does anyone elso watch this superlative series on FX? I try to catch every episode and each one is great. One thing that catches my eye everytime is the overall gun handling (especially by the lead character Micheal Chiklis). There always seems to be "indexing" going on and people using the...
