I have a pistol with an extractor pin that wants to get loose now and again and back out. When it does it launches the extractor and the spring under it is lost. I have the idea to put a drop of Loctite on the bottom side of the pic to keep it from loosening. Any suggestion if this is a bad...

Over the holidays my Wife and I had a "strange" encounter with an odd guy that approached us in an unusual area we walk our dogs, in the dark. Turned out to be no big deal but the guy was way too friendly in a creepy kind of "what is this guy doing?" kind of way. My Wife commented later that I...

:banghead: Just wanted to toss that out there. Returned to shooting sports and reloading a little over a year ago....finally scored a few pounds of Unique and primers and dies became available. Bought up bullets and have been shooting and having a ball. Now I'm down to my last pound of...

OK, I'm back from the range with my new Pico. Before I say anything else I'll say this: I really like this gun. That said, I was all worked up over possible problems after having my FP fail right out of the box. I sent the gun to Beretta USA for warranty repair and they turned the gun over in 6...

I like to train daily in like 20 minute increments 2X a day/5 days a week and spotted these training aids. Basically a caliber specific cartridge that fits in the chamber of your pistol and emits a 1/10th of a second beam/dot every time it is struck by the firing pin...

I'm starting to buy pistols with the idea of fixing them up and selling them. My local FFL who has been handling the shipping and transfers for me (only purchases so far) has told me that if I buy a pistol specifically to flip it/sell it that I should have an FFL and do things "the right way". I...

I'm having a pistol restored by APWCogan and then finished in hard chrome. The gun is a classic Colt 1903 and I'm not sure about what surface texture I want for the hard chrome. I don't really care for flashy, highly polished guns and like the look of brushed flats and matte rounds *but* I...

Or maybe not - I'm asking for help from folks who may know a lot more than I do. I have been looking for a Colt Model M as a project gun. One that is mechanically sound but not imminently collectible and has a trashed finish....I wanted to have it restored but in hard chrome as a gun for CCL...

I have been working hard on my skills and training on my own....reading lots and assimilating newer techniques and grips over the last year since my hiatus of shooting sports for almost 30 years ended last Spring 2013. I'm a "point" shooting advocate and shoot reflexively and instinctively...

I'm wanting to refinish a Colt 1903 pistol in hard chrome. Having done some research I'm strongly leaning towards Ford's Custom Gun Refinishing to do the work *but* have not ruled out several others. http://www.fordsguns.com/ My question for those who have done such things before: What...

There have been several short threads on the Beretta Pico. Some folks know I'm wanting one of these and have been reading and researching them for some time as I'm a Beretta lover in general and the Pico concept appeals to me. Anyway, my LGS/Shooting Range Buddy told me today that they have 2...

Never thought I'd be interested but I am and have to ask now for advice or a show of hands from guys who live in Illinois and actually have an SBR. I'm wanting to get into MP5 format guns and would like to go SBR but live in Illinois - some guys (none of who live in Illinois) think it's no...

...the more I love shooting my revolvers. Not instead of my auto loaders really. I'm feeling confident in my skills again with my pistols and so have stepped up cross training with my revolvers. Picked up a 2 1/2" tube for my Dan Wesson 15-2VH in .357 mag and a Ruger LCR late last Summer. I also...

I have a Universal cal. 30 M1 Carbine....the "newer" one built in Florida...it's a model 1003 with the ventilated metal shroud/hand guard. I bought it brand new in the early '80's, shot maybe 50 rounds thru it, cleaned it, oiled it, put it in the box (with the original manual and factory 5 round...

Got my Xtreme Bullets .380's today and started loading into cases I charged yesterday. I only have my Glock 42 in .380 and wanted to begin working up my .380 so that it was short enough to chamber in other guns as I know the Glocks tend to be able to chamber some long cartridges. So I borrowed a...

Long story short, my Wife has found her "Soul Mate" pistol and caliber (we are thrilled!) in the Glock 42. We have been waiting on one since January but have managed to shoot the LGS owners gun a few times to get the flavor. Nothing like having your own gun - we put about 300 rounds of various...

I have been smitten with the HK MP5 style rifle bug...I handled a Walther built MP5 A5 in .22 and managed to shoot one at a local range and was just smitten with the gun style. I'd buy a .22 version but .22 is still really hard to come by 'round here and I can't load my own. What I really wanted...

OK, I inherited a lot of ammunition from my Father in Laws estate. Some of it was plain old .38 Special and .357 magnum and recently bought. Some of it was antique looking ammunition....going thru the .22 this evening checking how much of what we had, I found 2 full boxes of 500 "Superior"...

Lookie what showed up in the mail Friday! :what: :eek: Ordered in November of last year...really, I have wanted a snubbie tube for my Dan Wesson 15-2VH .357 for 30+ years and now I finally have one! Shown here mounted on the inherited gun along with the Hogue fancy wood finger grip stock...

I load pistol calibers in 32, 380, 9mm, 38, 357, and .45 and have never had a problem. I find it simple and easy if one is meticulous and fastidious which I am in the extreme...even calming and enjoyable on a single stage press using Unique which I weigh each and every charge 'cause it meters...
