    Beretta PX4 Storm versus APX

    Hi all: I am in California and we have recently had some new additions to our Handgun Roster that we can actually buy. The Beretta PX4 Storm has been on the roster for many years, I've shot it a few times and like it. It's accurate, easy to shoot, well built. I am told that we may be getting...

    I Know It's Czech but the CZ52 Looks Like It Was Design By Citroen?

    I have wanted a CZ52 for a long time, largely because of its unusual aesthetic and design. How many other pistols are delayed roller blowback? These are really cool guns, fun to shoot but you do need to replace the extractor, firing pin and rollers as the hardening and metal quality was sub par...

    My Smith & Wesson 625 .45 ACP Revolver

    I used to own the Performance Center version but I had to sell it off in a divorce. Two years later, I scored a nice deal on this version, which isn't the Performance Center variant, but is still a great shooter. Very soft recoiling and I love reloading .45 ACP, such an easy cartridge to work with.

    It's an M44, but it's a bit rare...

    My 1953 Circle 02 M44. They were only made three years during the start of the cold war, 1953 through 1955. Great shooter, love the fireballs. Metal is immaculate, but stock is beat up. I bought it in a Russian Bubba'd stock that had been sanded and varnished and then a friend gave me this 02...

    Who Else Has Finally Figured Out That Sub-Compacts Are a CCW Handicap?

    I've carried my trusty Shield 1.0 for almost 8 years. I recently acquired a Ruger Max 9 to try out carrying with an optic and I liked my Shield 1.0 so much that I bought a Shield Plus PC. I like all three guns. I've shot my friend's Hellcat and P365 as well. I also have my G17 on my CCW and...

    Do You Own a Ruger PC9?

    I've been looking at PCCs, everything from the Hi-Points to the new Smith FPC to the Ruger PC Carbine. I am beginning to hone in on the PC Carbine since I have several Rugers and like them and I have a Glock G17 and I could use my Glock magazines with the PC9. It seems as if there are a lot of...

    What Do You Think of the RPR?

    I owned a Ruger Precision Rifle in 6.5 CM (below) that I had to sell due to divorce. I really liked it and was just getting into long range precision rifle before I had to go through all of that. I am looking to eventually get back into it, although the only local range I can practically go to...

    How would you paint a chipped up CZ82 to keep the original look?

    Hi all: I've been looking to buy a CZ82 to replace the CZ82 I had a few years ago and had to sell off in the divorce process. The one I had was rather mint, I had to hunt long and hard to find it back in 2014 with almost no wear and I liked it, even carried it for a few years. Almost every...

    Opinions on the best Glock G17 Magazines?

    Hi all: I only have one Glock, a G17. I have one stock Glock magazine and two of the Magpul PMAG magazines. I've heard widely varying things about the PMAGs on the Glocks, everything from, "They're great and work really well, super reliable" to "Have had some problems on some of the PMAGs"...

    Have you done anything cool to your AOW?

    Hi all: I have a pretty boring, run of the mill, Remington 870-based AOW with a 12" barrel. It's really the only NFA item we can possess in California, no MGs, SBS/SBR (unless they are C&R) and no suppressors. My AOW doesn't even have a front bead, no sights. I replaced the pistol grip with a...

    AR People: What Do You Think of the LaRue Tactical MBP-2S Trigger?

    Hey all: I just installed my first one yesterday, very clean and easy to install. I bought two more on Black Friday Sale so two more will go into other builds. Have not been to the range yet but just dry firing (with snap caps), it feels amazing compared to my standard MilSpec triggers in my...

    My Bulgarian Makarov Has A Safety Issue - Plan of Action?

    My Bulgarian Makarov appears to have a safety issue. When the safety/decocker is engaged, it appears that the gun will still cycle and likely will fire in DA. This gun is a recent acquisition and like any good C&R collector, I check out my old guns for issues or potential problems before...

    Coolfire System: Gimmick or Great?

    https://coolfiretrainer.com/ Anyone here own one or have used one? I have a Strikeman, laser cartridge, phone app setup, it's cool for that first shot after presentation, but then it becomes a bit unrealistic as you have to start over from scratch basically to recharge your pistol. This system...

    My Romanian TTC In It's Sunday Finest

    Last year, I was asking advice and exploring options about what do with my Romanian TTC's dangerous safety that actually was flopping around because someone who owned it before I did evidently lost the safety retaining spring. I knew that I wanted to get rid of this stupid ATF mandated useless...

    New Ruger Max 9 - Troubles are Afoot.

    Took my brand new Ruger Max 9 to the range today for the first time. I had three different FTFs in the first 50 rounds. I did buy it VERY lightly used, it looked as if it might have had one magazine through it, but I didn't clean it or lube it before I went to the range, dumb move on my part. I...

    Anyone own a Tokarev TX3 12HD Shotgun?

    Hi all: I've been asked for recommendations by not one, but three different friends for an inexpensive, reliable and reasonably well built HD Pump 12 Ga. For those who only want to spend a few hundred dollars, I've been recommending the Maverick 88 Security, which I know is a pretty decent...

    What is your opinion and experience with the CZ97B?

    Saw one in stock at a gun store and there are a ton of them on Gunbroker. This is an old model. I like that it's huge and all metal. Fun range gun it would seem? I have medium sized hands but long fingers. It has been officially discontinued too so maybe I should grab one while we still can? I...
