I picked up a Sig 250 Sub Compact (9mm), took it to the range and found it was enjoyable to shoot, except I kept getting pinged in the face and forehead by spent shells. I am convinced the problem is not with the gun. There are several factors that make contribute to the assaulting shells. Can...

It's such a new model, I can't find any holsters for it. The holsters for the 250 compact (as opposed to sub compact) don't fit because the trigger guard is different. Anyone know of a dedicated or generic IWB for this Sig?

Hello, I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has real experience with IWB holsters for the 2" S&W 686+. I was steered to Hoffner's but he apparently isn't making holsters right now. I have a Fist #1 with a belt clip but I think I need something with straps/loops. OWB or a paddle holster is...

Are there any states that require a licensed CCW holder to carry proof of ownership on their CCW handgun? I ask because of a conversation at a recent local gun show in which a vendor claimed he receives 3 or 4 calls a month requesting copies of sales receipts, from all over the country, from...

I was fortunate to run across a Kel-Tek Sub-2000 9mm. I amazed at how accurate it is. I only ran about 50 rounds through it but look forward to taking it back to the range soon. I've been shooting handguns for about 10 years. This is my first plunge into rifles. It's a pretty fun gun. I do...

Anyone know if Fiocchi .380 ball ammo is prone to light-strikes? Do they have unusually hard primers? Asking because I've been having issues with this with one of my pistols. Trying to narrow down possible causes. Thanks

Yesterday I bought a Kahr P380, and had a chance to shoot it today. It has about 200 rounds through it so far. The good: The gun is very accurate. It has a very smooth trigger. The bad: The slide locks back on the second round about 50% of the time. Sometimes it will lock open on the...

I've been shooting a Walther PPS. I had one about a year ago and didn't like it. However, after revisiting this gun I like it just fine (go figure). My only issue is the face of the trigger is pretty rough on my trigger finger. Gave me a pretty nice blister. Anyone know of a solution for...

...at the post office when I went in to use the self-serve machine. When I walked through the metal detector, it went off. My first reaction was "oh no, I didn't lock my CCW up in the car". But I quickly remembered I didn't even have it with me today. A nearby postal worker, who wasn't phased...

At the range yesterday I noticed my sights were jiggling around a bit on my CZ RAMI. The rear sight was easily tightened with an allen wrench but I'm not sure how to tighten the front sight. I seems to be held into the dovetail only by friction. How can I tighten this up? Thanks

I picked up a CZ RAMI 9mm BD (decocker and night sights) today and took it to the range. Wow! I put about 250 rounds through it. Stopped to clean it a few times. The gun worked fine with Winchester 115 gr and 124 gr. I ran some TAP 124 gr CQ through the gun and was quite impressed with the...

I had a 9mm RAMI once upon a time but never got comfortable with the lack of a de-cocker so I sold it. I've seen mention of the BD model (decocker and night sights) but am not finding many online retailers who carry this model. I made a few calls to local gun shops who tell me there's no such...

I'm probably getting a Ruger LCP in the near future. I have some Blazer Aluminum and some Winchester flat-tipped ammo from a previous handgun. Anyone out there with an LCP have any experience with his ammo in their LCP? Any issues? Thanks

I have a set of laser grips for my revolver. I also have access to a bore sight that fits the same handgun. If I place the bore sight in the chamber and adjust the grip laser so the dot of each laser (bore sight and laser grip) intersect would the sight be adjusted correctly? I already know...

I want to drop a spurless hammer in my Ruger Speed-Six. Someone has offered to sell me a hammer for a Service Six. I'm told the hammer is the same part for the Speed-Six and Service Six. Anyone know if this is correct? Can anyone recommend a good source for Ruger revolver parts in addition...

I recently picked up a Speed-Six at a decent price. I bought it with the intention of polishing it up and using it as a car gun. While I'm tinkering with it I'd like to soften some of the edges in the trigger guard, sides of the trigger, and the hammer spur. Do I need to worry about taking...

My employer is mandating background checks for all new and current employees. I'm told we will go through an FBI and BCI check. I have no idea what "BCI" means. Will these checks reveal the fact that I have a concealed carry license?

After buying an M&P compact, I received my 2 free magazines in about 3 weeks but have not received the $50 rebate yet. I know it will show up but am wondering what kind of wait time others on THR have had between receiving their magaines and rebate check. Thanks

The local range does not have any HKs with LEM configurations for rent or sale so I can't try one first hand. What does the LEM feel like when pulled? Is it like double-action with more or less consistent pull throughout? The description on the HK site does not answer my question so any...

I'm trying to help an acquaintance find a part for a Miroku Liberty Chief .38 special. Can someone point me to a source for parts, or exploded diagrams, or both? Thanks
