Haven't been able to get on the site for the least three days. I haven't tried in a while, though. Been feeding other hobbies. They haven't left us again, I hope!

A few months back I was ambushed by the 1911 bug. Ended up getting a Colt NRM Stainless Commander and a NRM Govt Model (blued). Put a RIA 4" on lay-a-way and now am comparing for my next purchase. Kinda want something light for carry and like the Commander length the best. I'm trying to decide...

Recently picked up a SS NRM Commander and became officially hooked on the 1911. Less than a week later I did some trading for a blued NRM Government Model and asked the clerk to order me a NRM blued commander. Only issue is that I prefer the standard A1 configuration with the arched MSH and the...

Just picked up a standard model HP - beautiful gun! Need to know if I can dry fire it or if I need to use snap caps. Thanks for the input! Coffee

Recently my P239-9 has been telling me how lonely she has been getting. I had this on my mind when I visited the local toy store. There I found the answer... A lightly experienced - once divorced - older P239-9 with the short trigger and plastic recoil spring guide. A very little bit of holster...

Anyone have any experiences with these. Our department seized one of these pistols and, as one of our gun people, I have the responsibility of cleaning and evaluating this pistol for placement in our armory. I am fully aware that this is the classic "cheap" pistol - not drop safe - and not...

Recently picked up an S&W 3913 and got to thinking it would make for an interesting comparison with the Sig P239 I own. Unfortunately I haven't fired the 3913 yet so this is just a phyisical comparison (part 2 will involve a shooting comparison). These two pistols are similar in many ways...

Posted the on the Smith and Wesson forum but they don't get the volume we get over here... "I have a 908 on lay-a-way and have ordered a metal recoil spring guide for the gun. The only other parts I'm concerned about are the magazine release button and the sights. Both these parts look pretty...

Been reading all the positive posts about the 3913 and the 908. Went to the local toy store and they had one of each (the 3913 NIB and the 908 LN with 2 mags and no box). I couldn't decide whether the 3913 was a better deal with its superior fit and finish (and admittedly higher price) or the...

Trying to decide whether to get a "long-slide" pistol or a sub-compact. I'm seperating the posts in the event I decide. Both the Glock 34 and the XD-9 Tactical (5") are very close to what I'm looking for in a long-slide gun. The Glock has a little fuller grip but the finger grooves would have...

Trying to decide whether to get a "long-slide" pistol or a sub-compact. I'm seperating the posts in the event I decide. Both the Glock 26 and the XD-9 sub-compact are very close to what I'm looking for in a S-c. The glock feels a little blockier in the grip and the grip is shorter (a pro for...

Yesterday I went on the hunt for cap-guns. Needed some as training aids for a class I was putting on for my department. I didn't shop too much ahead because I wasn't going in until noon and had lot's of time to just run by the store and pick some up. These are the following places I didn't...

Anyone use these? Any issues (reliability, durability, ext)? Do they shoot to point of aim? Any LEO experiences appreciated (all others as well!!) Coffee

Looked around my collection and found I had nothing to start new shooters on (or something I could shoot when money is tight). Tripped over a great price on a Ruger MkII with fixed sights and a 6" tapered barrel. The gun has been totally reliable through about 100 rounds but was hitting about 2...

and a used G23 barrel for 50 bucks! Got it to the range on Wednesday and ran 50 rounds of Speer Lawman .357 and 100 rounds of Winchester Value Pack .40 through the gun without malfunction. My immpressions are as follows... 1) First... I need to get to the range more often. As I often find...

Thinking of picking up one of these critters because... well, just because. Anyone have any experience with any of these pistols. Would like current production and reliability - and I don't really even know what's out there! Do the extractor-less Berettas work as well as guns with an...

Got a friend who just ordered one of these pistols. It seems like I saw a post which tells how to make a S&W or Beretta magazine work in these pistols. I tried the search function but had two problems: a) too much information, and 2) the sites I found said the magazines can be modified but...

I used to really enjoy shooting but lately its starting to seem like work. The only time I ever manage to get to the range it's to function test a weapon, sight one in, to qualify, to qualify someone else, or (the most fun) to teach someone else. I can't seem to find the time to just get out...

This has got to be the most comfortable auto I've ever held! The trigger reach, the LEM trigger, the gentle curve on the front strap, and the superior stippling on the front and back strap. Just absolutely superior! Too bad I'm not in the market for plastic DAO's at that price :what: . Do...

I couldn't find it, though... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=35178 Thought it was pretty interesting. Coffee
