I just handled this particular pistol in my local gunshop and I mustered all my strength not to buy it. I am looking for a pistol with a very nice trigger pull to accompany my Hk VP9. I am still debating on getting a Glock 17 again. I had it years ago with the first gen but had it sold to a...

Never had any experiences with the brand and would like to solicit your suggestions. I've tried the S&W and the Ruger but not yet the Taurus. I'd prefer the barrel to be up to 4 inches only and minimum of .38 caliber. Thanks.

The 1911 pistol has survived for decades and has gathered a cult following. Then the Glocks arrived. Since it's introduction many succumbed to its charm. Many companies also produced their polymer versions including the top guns. What in your opinion then is the next successful polymer gun...

I have quite an interesting experience. i have used the Dillon RL550B for a couple of years but it seems I'm getting "bulges" on my 9mm reloads near the rim. It is the part you can see when you insert them in the barrel chamber. I have many of these after using mag-tech shells. Also it...

Am considering this Lee model since it seems sturdy and quite cheap. http://www.leeprecision.com/cgi/catalog/browse.cgi?1251710424.3319=/html/catalog/rlpress1.html#breech Am going to reload only .45ACP with it and nothing more. Any inputs? Is it easy to use? Durable? etc. Thanks very much

The website says that the finish on the new Cz-P07 is that of nitriding. Is this similar to Glock's famous tenifer? HOw about the magazines? Do they use the same mags as that of the Cz-75/Shadow/etc? Any inputs?

I believe the P229 replaced the P228. Is there any difference between the two models? Which is better in terms of overall durability, reliability and accuracy? Any inputs? Thanks

I heard that Bo-Mar no longer manufactures adjustable sights. What brand then is the better alternative to Bo-mars? There's a lot of them- LPA, Ed Brown, Champion, STI, Caspian, etc. Thanks for the inputs

This is my second Dillon 550B. The first one I've had was sold 5 years ago when I thought that I will stop with the shooting hobby. I got myself another 550B to focus except for one problem. After everything was set up again, the part that slides and re-primes the shells doesn't work. It's...

I'm not sure if this is where I am supposed to ask this. Just curious, what kind of steel do they use on suppressors? How long is their expected life on the 9mm? I believe the 9mm and .22lrs are the usual calibers being used. Some say that they use T6 aluminum and some use 4140 steel. Thanks.

Has anyone ever tried aftermarket barrels for revolvers like Ruger and Smith & Wesson? Will the barrels interchange on the two guns considering they have of course the same caliber. I've seen barrels by Dan Wesson, Jarvis, etc. Any thoughts?

If you are a snubbie owner or wanting to buy one, what grips will you use? any pictures would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just would like to get inputs on how you clean your revolvers especially after a day in the range (about +/- 400 rounds or so). I both have a Smith and Ruger and I both find them a bit difficult to clean compared to pistols. Thanks for the valued inputs.

I have two aluminum framed pistols namely: a Beretta 92FS and Sig P228. Both went a lot of abuse and so is their black finish. I am opting for a black-colored finish that is also relatively durable. What can you guys recommend? Thanks a lot.

Both guns share similarities although I prefer the thumb safety/decocker of the Taurus which is more “1911 friendly.” In terms of durability, I read that both pistols are weak in the locking lug area. Any thoughts on the differences in their metal manufacture (forged, cast, etc.) and other...

I posted this in another forum but didn't get any response. I'll try it here. I am trying to change some parts for my Norinco Enhanced and I had some interesting problems. Beavertail: I bought an Ed Brown memory groove beavertail (been my favorite for years) and the frame happens to be...

I don't like the STI mainspring housing since it is made of plastic. Can I fit Wilson's or Ed Brown's on them? I kinda like their work. Thanks

I shot my Norinco pistol last Saturday and made it spout 200 ammunition flawlessly. When I took it home, I noticed that the magazine is stuck. I tried to press the mag release button but it won't work. I noticed also that the magazine is not fit flush to the frame unlike before when it used...

If you were to choose or compare, which would you choose, the Glock 19 or the CZ-PO1. The gun is to be used for CCW purposes and purely aas a defensive tool. Thanks for all inputs.

I’m browsing through an Ed Brown catalog and was looking at hammers and sears. There is the hard core and match grade designation for these and some parts. What is the difference between parts that are called “match grade†and the usual parts? Any comments on match grade, regular and...
