    What is your best 357 revolver?

    My favorite is a Monson Dan Wesson 15 2VH. With a little polishing and a spring change, it's as smooth as any Smith I've felt in double action. With an easily adjustable trigger stop, you can shoot it single action and just barely see the trigger move.

    Ruger SR 1911 CMD good for a project gun?

    "Custom" means different things to different people. If you mean replacing the hammer and sear, or the barrel and bushing, I say go for it. As long as you keep your old parts, you can swap them back in if you ever want to sell it. If you want to do something that requires machine work I'd say...

    So how many guns are in your room?

    I guess I'm just suspicious by nature, but I always wonder about questions like this. I left a forum a few years ago because I kept seeing questions about how many guns people have and how much ammunition they keep on hand. How does it benefit me to know how well armed you are... unless I'm...

    1911: Bobtail or move along?

    Hey Bikemutt, there's something you might want to try before bobtailing. I have big hands and used to have problems with the bottom of the grip digging into my hand. Instead of cutting some off, I went the other way and made it longer. I bought a grip set made by a company called Archangel that...

    New Pistol Prospect: FEG AP-7.65?

    Have you considered a Bersa Thunder .380? They are around $300 right now. They are great guns and from what I've heard, they have good customer service. I've never had to use their CS.

    Time for Louisiana ccw permit

    My wife and I sent ours in about a year ago and it took 6 months to get the permits in the mail. While we were waiting, we got parish permits in Caddo Parish. The parish permits cost $35 and the whole process took about 40 minutes. I hope the state permits take less time than it did when we sent...

    Mid to Low Price Commander

    I picked up a Ruger commander (SR1911) recently and it's now my favorite gun. It costs more than the ATI or RIA, but it's stainless and American made.

    Why choose a Commander's 1911?

    For me, it's about the feel of it. I have huge hands, so the officer frame feels too short. I've shot a 5" for many years and always thought that was all I'd ever want. Then I finally handled a commander and the feel was just right. Even though it's only 3/4 of an inch shorter, the feel is very...

    Glock sales staff and gun distributors caught in scheme

    I don't know much about Glock's red label / blue label sales practice. Do other gun companies do this as well? I can easily see how companies would offer decreased pricing to large volume buyers, but how does it make sense to essentially have two parallel lines of guns, one for LE and another...

    We have it in stock, please wait 2 weeks for shipping

    My goodness! I didn't expect such a wide variety of responses. It occurred to me that I may have caused some confusion with the title of my original post. The company in question didn't tell me it would be 2 weeks before they shipped. The "Please wait 2 weeks for shipping" part was my...

    We have it in stock, please wait 2 weeks for shipping

    All I'm asking for is honesty. IN STOCK means you have it there in your store and can ship it when I order it. If you're running a drop shipping business, then say so. If you're waiting for 5 or 10 other people to order the same thing I ordered before you order from your supplier, then say that...

    We have it in stock, please wait 2 weeks for shipping

    Chief, that's pretty much what I'm talking about. If they say they have it in stock, I think it's reasonable to assume they have it in stock. Having something "in stock" means you literally have the item on the premises and can ship it in a reasonable length of time. Some sellers are in the...

    We have it in stock, please wait 2 weeks for shipping

    I'm wondering; is the gun business very different from most other businesses? In most online businesses, if their website says they have something "in stock" and I order the item, they usually send it out that day or the next. I don't want to mention a specific gun dealer (because it seems that...

    Bersa Thunder UC in 9mm,,, anyone own one?

    My Thunder 9 UC Pro is probably the most reliable and easy to shoot pistol I have. The grip is a little thick, but that makes it feel good in my hand (big hands) and I conceal it in a homemade kydex and leather IWB holster. Any long tail shirt makes it disappear. I like it so much that I'm...

    When do you give up on a gun?

    Mag release chipped? You mentioned that the mag release was chipped. Is it possible that the mag catch is not holding the magazine in the correct position? That would certainly cause feeding problems.

    Sig SAO conversion?

    This one is single action only. I'm sure it has a great trigger and I would probably leave it the way it is. It would be nice to have the option to go DA/SA with it, though. I've contacted the seller and will see if he's okay with me getting the serial number.

    Sig SAO conversion?

    I have a question for the Sig guys. Locally, there is a Sig P220 carry gun up for trade and it looks good. The thing is, it's one of the SAO versions. That may be fine, but I'm wondering if it can be converted to the classic Sig DA/SA configuration. From my web research, it seems that some of...
