Picked up this 1914 production Colt Model N 1908 Vest Pocket Hammerless the other day. I can't seem to find any definitive sources on which bluing process was used. One source says that Colt changed from the high polish finish with charcoal bluing they used at the turn of the century to...

Somehow got it in my head that I'd like to start shooting in a more formal context than the backyard redneckery that I've been participating in. Since I mostly shoot one-handed, off-hand anyway (and since IDPA/IPSC hold no real interest for me), Conventional Pistol competition seems the way to...

Hi guys! Been a while since I posted here. Anyway, check out this LGS find. Colt MK IV Series 80 Enhanced in .38 Super At just $650 I couldn't be happier with it. :D

Just a little late Christmas present to myself. 1942 production Mosin-Nagant 91/30 I think I got more cosmoline than rifle. Got most of it off with paper towels until I can swing by the Home Depot for some mineral spirits. I'm glad I found one with a bayonet. Hopefully it shoots...

Pros/cons? Personal experience? No one ever seems to talk about them... Positively or negatively.

Recently, when rapidly firing double action, the cylinder will make an extra half turn with an individual trigger pull, as though the momentum of the turning cylinder is spinning it too fast for the cylinder stop to catch in one of the notches. Is this the result of a weak cylinder stop spring?

You hear it all the time. "This or that 1911 is unreliable because it's manufactured to tighter tolerances than the original design." "AKs are more reliable but less accurate than AR-15s because of looser tolerances". Ad nauseam. To a person who knows the difference, it just as annoying as...

What's a reliable site to get them? All the one's I've looked at look really sketchy.

Saw it in the case for $180. Couldn't pass it up.

I'm not allowed to carry in my workplace so I keep my 1911 in my glovebox while I'm at work. Unfortunately, over the summer I realized that the gun could sometimes be too hot to handle (like when you touch the metal part of a seatbelt buckle). Now I have all of Fall, Winter, and Spring to...

I had a friend fashion some spacers to replace the two levers and the plunger. It's amazing, the difference in the trigger. I don't think I can ever go back.

95-98% finish. Slightly worn grip. Passes all lock-up and timing tests.

Hats, belt-buckles, shirts, etc.

Admit it. It violates 3 of the 4 rules, but you just can't help yourself. :D

Any options besides dropping 10k+ on a genuine pre-89 import or spending 2k on a SIG551-A1 and spending beaucoup money getting it fitted with an imported full-length barrel, handguards, and gas system?

I carried my SAA for quite a while (it was all I had) and even had to draw it in defense once. I'm very confident in my ability to use it, but my better judgement has led me to switch to my 1911 as my standard carry piece. Anyone else ever used a single action as an EDC?

What's the best base to start with and what kind of investment am I looking at to make it the proper configuration? It's my understanding that the VEPRs are based on the RPK. Is that a good place to start?

Hello Walnuts! :D Why didn't I do this sooner? They feel so much better and look so much cooler.

It's almost perfect. The only gripe I have with it is: It's post-ban so it'll require some work to make it proper. Also there's some minor cosmetic damage under the carry-handle from the cheapo scope and mount. It also came with some pants-on-head retarded 3-point-sling that I...
