    Ruger MK III Target - stainless vs alloy

    Sorry, I was comparing the blued "alloy steel" model to the "stainless steel" model. I'm still kinda new at this. The one for sale at the range has the "bull" barrel, but now I notice a model with a longer, "tapered" barrel. I'm not sure which one I like better. They only have one in stock...

    Ruger MK III Target - stainless vs alloy

    Thanks a lot guys. It really is a range toy, and I can buy a lot of 22 ammo for 100 bucks. The stainless does look great though.

    Ruger MK III Target - stainless vs alloy

    I'm looking at a Mk III Target. Stainless is about $100 more than the alloy. The stainless looks great, but I'm wondering if that's the only advantage. Are there any other benefits to the stainless version? Thanks!

    Unsafe Guy at the Range Today

    Of all the asinine laws in CA, I actually agree with the HSC Certificate requirement. However, it only applies to purchase, not rental, so the ranges sometimes get 'exciting'. Whenever I get a lane next to the wall and see all the holes in the wall and ceiling, it makes me nervous. It's why I...

    Paint for front sight

    Awesome info. I picked up a jar of fluorescent orange acrylic enamel at the hardware store today. I guess I'll just have to experiment with the colors until I find the one that works best for me. Thanks again.

    Paint for front sight

    Does anyone have experience with painting front sights with paint like Bright Sights? My front sight is brass, and I want to use paint that will stick to bare metal. It is an old H&R .22. Thanks.

    Switching ammo in Glock mags

    OK, I feel better now. None of the rounds have ever been chambered, just switched between mags. I'll measure them just for giggles, and load the rest of my Speer rounds in the empty mag. No more switching. Thanks again.

    Switching ammo in Glock mags

    Thanks everyone for the good info. Now I'm a little worried about using the ammo I've been switching between the mags. I hate to toss 10 rounds of Speer Gold Dot. I have only 10 round mags in CA, and I always have to use the compressor gadget to load the last two rounds. For that reason, I...

    Switching ammo in Glock mags

    Ever since I've owned my Glock, I've been switching ammo between my two home defense mags about once a month. I read somewhere it improves the reliability of the mags because the springs do not stay compressed for a long time. Is this true, or am I wasting my time? Also, can the springs be...

    Safest 9mm round for home defense for autoloaders?

    I agree with FMJ. I have looked carefully at which directions I could shoot inside my house with a low probability of endangering anyone else. I know my neighbors, and some of them have small children, and I would be devastated if an errant round hurt an innocent person. I would rather take a...

    De-cocking S&W 686p

    This is all good info, so please don't anyone be put off. I only used the term "half-cocked" because the position of the hammer when the trigger is partially released is about halfway between fully down and fully cocked. Apparently this position is not intended by S&W to be used, although the...

    De-cocking S&W 686p

    Very informative thread. I just tried it both ways. As S&W warns, if I hold the trigger back, and lower the hammer, it drops all the way to the fire position, so if my thumb were to slip off the hammer, it would go bang. If I release the trigger immediately after the hammer releases, it will...

    How can I find out when my model 94 was made?

    Thanks everyone I didn't realize it was that old. I would have thought late 50s, and it's good to know it was actually 1949. I just know my dad bought it used around 62 or 63. I don't hunt any more, but I'll be taking it to the range one of these days for old times sake.

    How can I find out when my model 94 was made?

    Thanks. I don't remember ever getting such a prompt response to a post. The serial # is 1615063, and it is a 32 special.

    How can I find out when my model 94 was made?

    My father bought it used in the early 60s, and now I have it. It was his deer rifle, and I have many good memories of us going hunting. I just got curious exactly what it's history might be. Thanks.

    Do Glocks jam for anyone else?

    I'm an autoloader newbie. I've not had any problems with my new 17 after about 500 rds. The salesman took the time to show me exactly how to hold it, and I clean it after each session. I did notice it accumulates quite a bit of dirt, and it takes a while to remove it all. Overall I'm very satisfied.

    Glock 17 Odd Looking Primer Dimple

    Again thanks for all the responses. The round is a Federal American Eagle factory load 124 gr jacketed. I've only shot about 250 rds so far, but I like it a lot. I bought a box of Speer Gold Dot 124 gr/+P for defensive use.

    Glock 17 Odd Looking Primer Dimple

    I'm a new Glock owner. Today I picked up a spent cartridge for the first time and noticed the dimple from the striker looks different than what I'm used to seeing in other guns. There is a rectangular area surrounding the circular dimple where the primer metal is pushed outward and slightly...
