    P6 FTF w/JHP's

    I love my new P6. I shoot extremely well with it. Fits my hand perfectly. However, an issue has come up. It didn't like the Remington UMC 115 gr. JHP I fed it. Between one and two FTF's per mag. Tomorrow I'll try a variety of different JHP's, such as Federal HST's, Speer Gold Dot's, CorBon...

    SxS barrel length

    Why are the cowboy action SxS barrels 20"? I wouldn't mind having a short SxS as a HD gun, but would prefer the shortest legal length, i.e. 18".

    BHP or CZ75

    I have a BHP clone. I'm thinking about my next 9mm gun purchase. I'm considering a CZ75. However, are they too similar to each other in feel and performance? Am I gaining anything over the BHP? Or shoud I look for something that's much more different?

    Remington UMC .38 Special 125 gr. +P

    How good is it as SD ammo? Have you seen any gelatin tests? I'd use it in my 2" Detective Special and my S&W mod. 15-3 4".

    Interarms Luger OK?

    I'm thinking of buying an Interarms Luger (made by Mauser in the '70's). I'll be shooting it; it won't be a safe queen. Is that a useable, reliabe gun or will I be buying trouble?

    Colt Detective Special light primer strikes

    My new to me Colt DS has light primer strikes every 10, 12 rounds or so. It happened with three different kinds of ammo. What could be the cause of this and how can I fix it?

    Colt Detective Special .38

    I am looking to get one. It's in nice condition, easily 95% blueing, 2" barrel. It locks up tight. He wants $275. Before I buy it: Can it take + P ammo?

    Makarov light strikes

    My Bulgarian Mak has developed a nasty habit of requiring two or three strikes to fire. It happens every 15,16 rounds, or so. Happened with S&B, Wolf Military Classic and the black box Wolf. What would cause that, and how can I fix it?

    1911 or SIG P220?

    I am going to get a .45, and have narrowed it down to a new 1911 (probably a RIA) or a used P220 (in SAO). Which would you recommend, and why?

    Astra A-100

    I can get a used A-100. The gun feels great in my hands, better than any other I have held. It has a trigger job @ about lbs. 1.5. He wants $350 for it. Astra went out of business a while ago, so parts would be difficult to come by. Is the Astra A-100 reliable, or am I asking for trouble?

    P345 or RIA 1911?

    I am considering a .45., either Ruger P345 or Rock Island 1911. The clerk told me the Ruger auto loaders are no good, because their tolerances are so sloppy that they lose accuracy over time. Typical gun store b.s. or truth? I'd like to hear from long-time Ruger owners.

    Saiga now legal in CA?

    I went to the Del Mar gun show on Saturday. I was blown away: They offered Saigas for sale; both the 7.62X39 and the .308. I guess it has a CA legal gun stock and is now imported by RAA. However, I thought that any gun built on the Kalashnikov action is verboten. What gives?

    Purchase M-1 carbine

    I'm considering getting a M-1 carbine. It'll be strictly for shooting. I am not interested in collecting. Now, the question is: Should I get a new AO/Kahr or a used USGI? My thinking is that the Kahr will have a brand-new barrel (and therefore be more accurate), whereas the USGI probably won't...

    M39 vs. M38

    Shooting my Russian Mosin-Nagants, such as the M38, M44 and 91/30 turns into work after about 30, 40 rounds. It's a combination of the bolt and the stock, I think. And I am not even talking about "sticky bolt syndrome". Even if the chamber is free of cosmoline, working that bolt requires...

    I am MauserMann!

    Got my second Mauser (already have a VZ-24), a M24/47, from Big 5. $99:) All matching numbers. Cleaned off the thick cosmo, sanded and tung-oiled the stock, and IT'S A BEAUT! Took it to the range, shot cheap & good Turk ammo, and it's accurate. How accurate I can't say, as I tend to swing and...

    BHP/Arcus 94/P+ ammo?

    Can I feed my Arcus 94 a steady diet of +P ammo (the gun looks and feels very sturdy) or am I limited to mostly normal pressure ammo?

    K31 date of manufacture?

    Just picked up my new K31 at the local Big 5. It's in good condition overall, but the blueing is only 85% or so. The walnut stock is actually not as banged up as some of the ones I've seen. I assume it's a pre-war rifle. Where can I look up when it was made? They also have Yugo M24/47 on...
