Got an itch the other night to put swivel lanyard rings on a couple of single actions. Even my Officer's 1911 couldn't escape!

ulflyer, I read in the "a sad day" thread that you may be willing to part with a Nork? Got any specs, pics, asking price? I have a beauty Norinco now that I have just completed "customizing" for home defense/carry, so now I'd like have one to keep basically stock (right:rolleyes: ) for...

I'd like to hear from anyone with experience with this type of problem or has seen it before. This is a close-up of a little crack in the breechface of my stainless 357/9mm Blackhawk next to the firing pin hole bushing. I don't know if it's new or has always been there. I think it's new as...

I'm looking for a little help. Could someone with a factory double-action only (DAO) sp-101 remove the hammer from the gun (safely) and post a decent picture of it from the side so I can check out the side profile. I'd appreciate it.

I have a 3" SP101 and I'd like to convert it to DAO. I'm okay with cutting off the hammer spur. I just need to know where the single action notch is on the SP-101 so I can remove it. Has anyone done this who can also photograph the hammer (removed from the gun) with this mod so I can compare...

Since I bought my Witness 10mm NIB last year, it rarely got through a full mag without choking with a spent case caught parallel in the ejection port (not stovepiped). I took a closer look and noticed that the extractor was putting no tension on the headcase at all. Anyway, last night I...

Can any owner of these TWO pistols tell me definitively if the slide/barrel of the P91 be put on the P90 frame? I'm not talking about safety issues or anything like that. Can it physically be done is all I'm asking. Thanks.

Anybody know if it would be possible to convert a Ruger P91 or P94 in .40 to 10mm just by reaming the chamber? Would the P91 be the stronger candidate? Can the Ruger take the extra pressure and abuse? Any mag issues? Thanks for any info.

I had my first blackpowder experience today at the range. An older gent was shooting his .45 cal Thompson Center Hawken percussion cap rifle and was chatting with another guy as well. I walked over to watch him fire the rifle because I was curious about black powder. (I saw a Lemat revolver a...

I've been reading about the CZ Rami and wonder what the dimensional differences (including weight) are between it and the excellent but discontinued Star Firestar. Any have info?

I'll try to make this a poll, but failing that here are the platforms as well: .32acp - Kel-Tec P32 .32H&R Magnum - S&W 332 .22 Magnum - Any J-Frame size revolver (including Taurus) like the new S&W 351pd. If they had a centennial version I'd be listing that instead. I'm going for...

Southpawshootr, I read in the Crimson Trace thread that you finally took your 642 out for a spin with the laser grips. I have set on my model 65 and like them. I was thinking of picking up a 642 and putting the small set of CT grips on them as you have. I've never shot a revolver as small as...

Do the accessory rails on pistols with the rails molded into the frame mimic "picatinny" style or "weaver" style or something else entirely?

I'm interested in mounting a compact light (Streamlight or Surefire) to my Ruger P94 for HD purposes and am wondering how to do it. Does anyone make rails that can be installed (drilled and tapped) onto an existing frame? Is one brand of light better than another? Thanks.

I just noticed that there is a very small gap between the barrel and the frame on my new (used) model 65! The gap is at the top where the two meet and goes down to the threads. It is a VERY small gap, but when I hold it up to the light, it shines through. Should I be concerned? The...

I found a place locally that has an "old" model 60 (smaller than current model 60) in .38sp that is used but like new with all original papers and box. Nice little checkered factory walnut grips. Looks like it spent it's life in a safe deposit box or something. They are asking $400 before...

I handled a Charter Arms Off Duty .38 today and it is small. Does S&W or anyone else make a smaller or same size .38?

I bought a used 65-6 this past weekend and noticed a couple of things. I used a feeler gauge for the cylinder/barrel gap, and from one side of the gun the gap measures .008/.009, but from the other side goes .004/.005. What's that about? An uneven forcing cone? Does that adversely affect...

I was looking over my new (used) purchase more closely the other night and noticed a couple of things. The feeler gauge for the cylinder/barrel gap from one side of the gun measures .008/.009, but from the other side goes .004/.005. What's that? An uneven forcing cone? Does that adversely...

I picked up a 3" round-butt Smith Model 65-6 this weekend and noticed that it has the firing pin in the frame, not on the hammer. Does anyone know what other things (upgrades, engineering changes, etc.) this generation of 65s has, or when it was made? Is this generation considered desireable...
