    No bang with S&B ammo

    UPDATE: a little over a month and almost a thousand rounds later (different ammo), I disassembled and fully cleaned the gun, including the firing pin channel. I also replaced a number of springs, including the mainspring. No more problem. I did notice a difference in the trigger pull...

    MidwayUSA vs. 5.11 Tactical Range Bag

    I own a 5.11 range bag. Very nice. The Midway bag looks good though, so either way you'll not likely be disappointed.

    Bad shot

    If you'd like something in video form, I thought this one was especially well done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJrA7wMXuuQ

    Beretta 92FS worth getting?

    Good choice for a full-frame pistol! I just couldn't get used to the slide-mounted safety, but they are tack drivers in the right hands.

    No bang with S&B ammo

    It's an early 1990's pistol of West German origin. I haven't had it that long, so this might be a possibility. I don't have any good idea of how many rounds have been through it, but it looks clean so I suspect it hasn't been that many. No problems with any other ammo I've tried. It had...

    No bang with S&B ammo

    I got some S&B 9mm ball ammo for my SIG P226. Options are limited of late, but this seemed to be not the worst I could have gotten. But I had five out of the first box fail to fire during my last trip to the range! Two of them fired on the second try, but not the other three. I've heard S&B...

    Small safe, not RSC

    Thanks for the info! If the Amsec BF safes are similar to their gun safes, couldn't I just get a gun safe and be done? I see you're in this business and that you have B rated gun safes too. How do you think they compare to the Amsec BF series? As far as I can tell, they both have a...

    Small safe, not RSC

    I'm looking to invest in a small (30-36H x ~24W) safe for a few handguns, valuables, papers, etc. I don't have enough [valuable] long guns, in my mind, to warrant a safe for them... I can look for a reasonably priced RSC just for that later if need be. I'd rather get a good B or even C rated...

    Looking for my first IWB concealable handgun.

    Unless you're looking for pocket size but you want slimmer (single stack), you might consider the Walther PPS if you want SA, or the SIG P239 if you don't mind DA/SA and the extra weight of metal versus polymer. Pukindog12, thanks for the genitron.com link -- nice!

    Ammo recommendations

    @rooster59 Bought it in a local shop. I paid $625, which might have been a bit high but it was clean. I'll post a picture when I have a chance. They had another, but it looked like it had been through a war. @C0unterZer0 I haven't decided on a home defense ammo. Maybe Speer Gold...

    Ammo recommendations

    New here... and new to handguns. I picked up a used West German Sig P226 9mm that looked really clean. I rented a couple of different pistols and the range, and decided on this one. I like the size and feel, but I want to spend consistent time at the range to practice. Any cheap ammo to...
