I have been a devoted Walther carrier for years (PPS & PPQ) Recently went through an 8 hour tactical class with my new Taurus PT111G2. Having owned numerous pistols beginning with a S&W 3904, to carrying Walthers, I was very impressed with the Taurus PT-G2! No failures of any kind. No...

Thanks for input and link! Will pursue... Semper Fi

Purchased a Beretta BU9 in Feb 2014; issues after first 76 rounds, 4 different ammos. Given possible user errors and corrections, I have had stovepipes and FTE's and FTF's. Not really happy with what I had hoped to be a more compact, "Unexpeted-immediate-need-to-fire without-aim" weapon...

When does the magazine fall out? What has been done to "fix" the problem so far? Mag falls out indiscriminately. First time, well into second mag. After S&W return; 8th round. Then 9th and 10th round. No detectable science beyond bad mfg. Supposedly, mag clasp and spring replaced each...

All mags--- yes. Will contact Cylinder and Slide. Thanks

Have had a SWMP40C for two years. Mag still falls out even after repeated trips to SW. Is there a real fix or do I count this pistol as trade fodder??

Re: PPK I had an old PPK, given to me by a relative. Sold it in 1998. In 2006, I purchased a Bersa Thunder 380. For all intents and purposes, only an ounce of difference between the two. Actually found the Bersa to be more dependable, and slightly better balanced. My 2 cents worth. QE2

Just brought home an old Remington "Sportsman 48" 12Ga. shotgun from my dad's office - it has been racked in same place for 30 years (no kidding). To my knowledge, it has not been fired since he bought it from a friend in the gun biz. I disassembled, cleaned out years of "atmosphere". Mag...

I purchased a PT709 last Fall at a local gun show in Houston. Actually, I got it when I "unloaded" a Taurus Mill Pro PT111 (mine was a POS - I think I have previous posts about this). At any rate, the 709 looked to be a completely re-thought and re-engineered design. So, why not? Since then...

I have read de-classified military reports of snipers using 22-17 rounds at substantial distances. The .17cal projectile can be absolutely deadly (details forgone). As with any caliber, placement is critical; skill under pressure often trumps jacket diameter. Comments? Q2

BAD'... Thanks very much!! Close (within 10 years) is my best friend at this point. This report is due in probate on Dec. 3rd. Could not wait for S&W to "narrow any further". Your help (and estimate) is really appreciated! Best regards, Q2

Looking at an OLD post; but need help with S&W serial numbers / DOB 2 guns: "Snub Nose" .38 Spl. 1. SN: C 181991 - 5 shot rounded front sight. bbl= 2" 2. SN: J 11975 - 5 shot; front sight tapering down back to frame both standard wood grips - typical J frame type. Doing an estate confirmation...

Comes a time... When one must pay proper attention to physics... Shorter/smaller is a bit like cell phones and handguns: Submissive to a minimal point, the human hand can no longer efficiently operate certain devices (or, as transferred; handguns). I have been very, very picky over the...

One detail I forgot: I think all the -04, -06 etc. are DA/SA; at least my 3904 is.

Can't help much, but: I have a "3904", mid-size, alloy frame, single stack police issue from the '80's. First auto I owned - still have it and it's a keeper (in the current market one could almost call it "slim"). I am now looking for a 6904 or 6906 (I think the -04 is like a service pistol...

Regarding Gun Cleaning ' The devil with all the new "green" products. I'm with Jed. My home-made recipe for shotguns, rifles and pistols is: 1. Heavy cleaning: M-Pro Gun Cleaner (Academy - approx. 7 to 9 bucks for a 4oz. pump-spray bottle); but the bottle lasts for months; taked very little...

Regarding PT709 As I wrote in another thread / post, I traded a Taurus Mill-Pro 9mm for a PT709. The Mill-Pro was a good pistol - and (as I understand) rated for most of the plus-ammo. Possibly due to the heavier machining. However, the magazine release was scary-sensitive, with no...

Read recent posts - my comments: Mr_Toad: the "slippy-one-size-fits-4-others-maybe" holsters are exactly why I make my own. Back in the '80's a business venture required (among other things) that I learn the basics of leather crafting, including wet-forming techniques and construction. I spent...

Purchased mine about 2 or 3 months ago - .40 Cal. Ran 250 rounds Win-fmj. Also did 20 rounds of Hornady FPD just to see; pricey - but one needs to know before depending on it. No problems at all. Accuracy at 25 yards is amazing. I hand made a couple of custom close-fit holsters, and I am now...

Home-made Kydex Holster Well Done! Generic holsters have always been experimental at best. I think you will have a number of customers willing to help you.
