Recently I've come across several references to the particularly crisp break of a 1911 trigger, such as in TheTruthAboutGuns' review of the Kimber Super Carry Pro HD, in which the author eloquently writes: Is there some inherent design advantage to the trigger mechanism on 1911s that makes...

Hi all. I'd like to mount a scope on a much-beloved Remington 550-1 semi-auto .22 in order to take it squirrel hunting this fall. The dovetail grooves on the receiver are quite shallow, and even having found the correct mounting rings, the scope won't sit still. I get it on and sighted in...

So I put 100 rounds of 9mm Wolf steel-case ammo through my Ruger P95 at the range today. Seemed accurate enough for plinking, and no failures of any kind (never had one on the Ruger). Normally I shoot major brand brass case stuff, but went for it this time due to the price (about $10 per 50...

Anyone ever take a class from these guys? Which class? Good experience? After reading about suspect schools, I'd love to hear from somone who attended this one.

Hi folks, I sometimes feel that my focus wanes after the first few shots of a magazine, and that once I've settled into the target, I develop a rhythm of firing the gun that can detract from the focus on proper technique and target acquisition for each shot. I want to end every session...

What's your opinion? Should a man ever be held to answer for another man's conduct with a gun? Say two men go hunting, one the mentor, the other a first-time hunter. The mentor leaves the rookie alone, and a tragedy occurs- through his own carelessness and disregard of the hunting and gun...

I recently learned that the standard of accuracy for a modern high-quality air pistol is that it will produce one-hole ten shot groups from a rest. :eek: Incredible! That's a pistol that shows you precisely where you placed the shot. They produce little recoil and are both safe and quiet...

I've heard folks on here say that they never clean their guns until they malfunction; others who strip their guns down after every range session. The middle ground is probably something like run a bore snake or a few patches through, and wipe off the soot, saving the major cleaning for later...

I missed having a pistol to shoot while my Browning Buckmark is back at the factory for some repair, so I picked up an H&R 949 nine-shot .22LR revolver at Parros, one of the better shops here in VT. (Looks just like this one, but with more wear to the finish, which I also love.) It's my first...

Hello all, If this is more appropriately posted in Strategies and Tactics, please advise. I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for alternative weapons that one would not have to leave behind when entering weapons-restricted areas. I am an attorney who is in and out of courthouses...

Greetings all. I have a .22 rifle and a new Buckmark pistol that I enjoy shooting tremendously. I have been toying with the idea of purchasing a larger handgun, but again, purely for recreational purposes. This has gotten me thinking a lot about gun ownership, especially those of you who...
