New to C&B revolvers and just bought a Pietta 1860 .44 from Cabelas. The timing seems to be good, but the fore and aft play of the cylinder seems excessive. Couple of questions: Is the front of the cylinder supposed to be able to touch the forcing cone at the extreme forward part of...

For reasons based on cost, functional reliability and penetration, I have decided to use FMJ in my LCP. I don't want to get in a discussion over FMJ vs. HP for defense, but just want to know what is the highest quality(no White Box or Wolf) FMJ rounds for reliability. Thanks!

I'm thinking of getting a .22 rifle and prefer the feel of the 597 over the 10/22 and Marlin offerings. I also noticed they have factory high caps available for them. I remember reading nothing but bad about them when they came out. Has Remington got the bugs out of them finally? Do they...

Has anyone here tried it? They appear to be the same/similar. Thanks

I made a rash decision today and put a M&P .45 with night sights on layaway for $365. I did it because I thought it was an excellent price but know little about them. The serial # starts with MR****. Does any one here know if there are certain serial #'s to avoid? Have there been upgrades to...

Just picked this up at a pawnshop for $108 out the door. H&R 732, 32 S&W, six shot, DA revolver. This is not an actual pic of it, but it looks exactly like it. In 95% condition. I figured, why not, it's an American made revolver in great condition. I shot a cylinder through it yesterday and it...

I recently bought a Springfield Loaded parkerized at a pawnshop. It appears to be an older model with a two piece barrel, non ambidextrous safety "square" front grip, and non adjustable trigger. I tried to call Springfield to find out when it was made and if it had mim parts but I wasn't able...

I was at Academy yesterday looking for a Beretta 92FS and ended up getting an M&P 9. They were out of the Berettas and the M&P was $499 with the rebate and two mags. I though, what the heck, I'll give it a try. I did not research the M&P design very much, but knew a little about...

I just bought an old Rossi(importer was Firearms International Corp.) .32 S&W long(j frame) for cheap and it's in good condition except for the fact that it seems to pierce primers 80% of the time with the rounds I tried(Federal .32 S&W long 98 grain lead wadcutter). It seems to have quite a...

I just bought a SIG SP2022 in 9mm and was wondering if any one here knows what the service life is? I have read on other forums of one that's a rental that has gone 60k rounds and is still going strong, that the French in testing fired 2 million rounds through a few, etc. On the other hand, I...

Has anyone used one of these and what do you think about it? I have a Marlin 60 that I love(reminds me of my childhood), I just get tired of loading the magazine every 14 rounds. I believe it holds 120 rounds(15 rounds in each of 8 chambers). If I bought 2 of these babies that would make for a...

I picked one up(the 982 with GS sights) a few days ago at Big 5 on sale and it's great. I had one about three years ago and got rid of it(although it was great also) due to the hype about it being Chinese. Well, I'm going to shoot the heck out of this thing and see if it really is inferior to...

I went out to fire a few rounds of buck and slugs this morning in my 870 Express HD and while shooting some Winchester 1 0z. slugs I fired one slug and pumped the gun and pulled the trigger and I got a click instead of a bang. Well as it turned out, it didn't even chamber a round. I just...

Don't shoot me! I went to Big 5 and they had the Hawk 98 riot shotgun on sale for $139! Everything I want on a combat shotgun. Ghost rings, parkerized, all black. I fired 100 rounds out of it the other day and it actually functioned smoothly compared to a real 870 I used to have. My other...

Shot my new 870 the other day w/rifled barrel. Federal buckshot spreads like crazy with this barrel! It seems like it would be great for home defense because of the erratic spread. What do you guys think? I mean ranges of no more than 10 yards or so.

I'm planning on picking one up soon. Does the copper brazing on the barrel lug and magazine tube ever cause these parts to separate? To me it seems like a weak way to attach major components to the shotgun. Have you ever seen any problems? Is this copper braze as weak as it seems? I believe...

Tuner, I have a NRM Colt with the older MIM extractor. I bought an Ed Brown "match grade" extractor to replace it. The FPS plunger absolutely will not go in the slide with this extractor, no matter what position I put the extractor in. The MIM Colt extractor lets the plunger in the slide...
