    Are Glocks Ugly?

    Little blocky but well proportioned and they look like a gun not a power tool. I'll take a Glock over some nickel plated sissy pistol anyday.

    Detail Stripping: Poll

    This is one of the main reasons I've gone to Glocks as my main carry pistols. They're by far the easiest handgun to detail strip I've ever owned. The ability to strip a gun all the way down and clean and inspect the gun is must for me. There are times hunting, camping or fishing that I've...

    Remington to re introduce the R-51 at SHOT

    Sure they do.......but it has to actually work or what good is it? A silky smooth slide that moves effortlessly isn't much of a bonus if the things a jam-o-matic clunker that can't make it through a whole mag.

    RIA 1911 VS Ruger P97

    Both are well known for being reliable so it just boils down to personal preference. Now 1911s in general have gotten a bad rap but this is mainly due to super tight tack-driver 1911s people want for target shooting type results. Plain jane milspec 1911s like the RIA work much better though...

    Remington to re introduce the R-51 at SHOT

    Well there are already a lot of proven pistols in the catergory that don't have a track record of failure, so I don't really see any reason to plunk my money down on Remington's next attempt at getting right. Maybe they did get right this time, but I'll let somebody else find out first...

    Why .40 when there is 10mm?

    Capacity??? Uhhh.....10mm and .40 are the same diameter. The .40 is based on the 10mm and is basically just a shorter case......so there is no difference in "capacity".

    Help. Dreaded Kel Tec P11 rattle

    You bought a $200 pistol and you're upset that there's a rattle from the mags?

    Kel Tec P-11

    The one I had was reliable enough, but something was always breaking on the damn thing! Three broken slide-stop levers, worked fine but wouldn't lock back the slide after the last round. From my Kel-Tec forum experience this is common. Also had a broken firing-pin. worked fine, but noticed...

    .45 auto not penetrating winter clothes?

    I can personally attest to the fact a 230gr FMJ fired from a full-size Colt 1991A1 will penetrate a mattress and box-spring and send pieces of the pages of a book under the bed flying out like confetti. Ripped the springs it hit out of both the mattress and the box-spring and left them...

    Opinions of the Springfield Armory XD's

    Well I know we sometimes get carried away with the "bore-axis" thing but it does matter as evidenced by their popularity in competition shooting. That few fractions of a second difference each shot from a pistol that sits low and solid in the hand instead of rocking back like one with a...

    Opinions of the Springfield Armory XD's

    Had an XD40-V10. Loved the ergos especially the short trigger reach, but did not like the over-all design especially of the slide. I detail strip all my firearms on a regular basis and was not impressed with the XD. That little pin for the striker is an especially bad idea that is known...

    1911 lust...what is it about them???

    I use Tripp Cobra mags in my 1911s. A lot of factory mags are cheesy, usually cheap weak springs. I dunno if 1911 makers figure people will get aftermarket mags anyway, so they just toss in the cheapest mags they can find or what.

    1911 lust...what is it about them???

    For me it's just the "feel" not just the ergos or the great SA trigger and short reset but that confidence of knowing you have a capable and proven weapon in your hand. Sure they are newer designs, lighter, thinner, higher capacity yada, yada, yada....but there is just something especially...

    A couple of orders, no problems to report. Got my items in a timely manner and they were as advertised.

    NEW Ruger STRIKER FIRED LC9

    Was considering one but hated the long heavy trigger pull. If this improves that nasty trigger I'm definitely interested.

    Why was the 40s&w invented?

    Well one thing the 10mm and it's offspring the .40 S&W had going for them is they weren't a military round. Police agencies were transitioning from revolvers in the old cop calibers like .38spl and .357 magnum to pistols and 9mm Luger and .45acp are both military ammo. .40 S&W gave them...

    NJ: Magazine Capacity Restriction Vetoed

    Posturing, political maneuvering or whatever.....I like the guy a lot more for vetoing this nonsense than I would if he'd signed it into law.

    460 Rowland the 10mm Killer!?!

    Sounds like an interesting round but I'd feel a lot more comfortable with a pistol that had actually been designed for that kind of power.
