    Let us revisit the 1911 recoil spring issue.

    The received wisdom on the Sistemas has been that they made from high grade imported German Steel since Argentina had no indigenous steel mills, and/or the county had very close commercial ties with Germany in the inter-war years. Is that wrong ??

    Differences I noticed Between Gen4 G19 and Gen2 G19

    Most ( but not all) firing cycle problems with the Glock 9mm`s are caused by using underpowered ammo. Most commercial USA made _non LE_ and non +p or +p+ ammo is significantly under-loaded by the makers past their published specs, due to liability issues that may result from use in the very old...

    Used Glock 19 Gen 3 pricing in your area...

    LNIB used Gen 3 G 19`s about $400-450 in the Phila. area depending how many 15 rd. drop-free mags with it. There is more interest in the very excellent Gen. 3`s version since the Gen 4 came out ;) Very hard to tell how many rounds through these guns without seeing the trigger bar. Only...

    Need Help Colt 1991A1

    $575 for 1991A1 that has been "tinkered" with is no good deal for a first 1911 IMO. If it`s "loose" it doesn`t sound like one of the guns Colt made after Gen. Keys arrived in the late 1990`s,I believe, and Colt began building with new CNC machinery and at the same time instituting...

    Colt or Kimber 1911

    "Why do people go on and on about Kimber's firing pin safety? If you don't like it, REMOVE IT! It takes all of 20 minutes to disassemble the pistol, remove the connecting lever that the sear pin passes through, drift off the rear sight and then remove the plunger and spring from the slide. If...

    German Proofed SIG 228 Questions ?

    Thanks very much guys, the pics and advice are a great help. The gun is marked KF next to the proof marks. Would that have come in a plastic case or the old cardboard boxes with test targets ?

    German Proofed SIG 228 Questions ?

    I`m going to be looking at a SIG 228 on Mon. I could use some help to be sure it`s a West German made and proofed gun and all correct. The serial number indicates a 1994 manufacturing date from the list on the SIG forums ( which I can`t join because they won`t take hotmail...

    1911 cocked, safety off carry?

    Cocked & Locked Always been curious about who started the school of "cocked & locked" carry. I tried it and it seemed ( IMHO) to at all times demand a very high level of concentration and practice to both carry and deploy the gun safely. Waaaay back, when I was young an accepted method of...
