    What is the best way to oil/lube a handgun?

    I have been keeping my handguns lubed with breakfree CLP (meaning a very light spray over all of the internals, and slide/rails). I've never had any problems that I know of with doing it this way, but I am assuming that it is sub-optimal, and would like to find out how the 'pros' do it. My...

    A few questions regarding Kel-Tec reliability

    I am interested in either the 32 or 380 Kel-tec, but it seems that for every person that has one, and is pleased with it, there are two or three that say they got a lemon, and can not make it reliable. I have no problem doing the "fluff, and buff", but I do not want to be shipping the pistol...

    Is it safe to shoot +P ammo in an older Model 10?

    Do you guys know if it would be safe to shoot +P ammo in an old pencil barrel S&W model 10? I'm not talking about shooting a case load of it through the gun, but just the occasional cylinder, and keeping it loaded with the +P for self defense ammo. I have heard of a few stories about these...

    Unusual way of holding gun in Guns and Ammo mag

    In the new issue of Guns and Ammo with the XD 45 ACP article, there is a guy holding the pistol, and his weak hand's index finger is curled in front of the trigger guard (looks like he is pulling down with it). I was always taught to keep all fingers out of that area. Is this an actual technique...

    Any experience with Federal 'Low Recoil' ammuntion?

    I was looking at handgun ammo, and saw these "low recoil" rounds from federal premium... is this "low recoil" promise real, or just marketing/word play?

    Can you fire .17 HMR in a revolver chambered for .22 WMR?

    I assume that the accuracy would be awful, but would it be safe/possible to fire a .17 HMR in a .22 magnum revolver?

    MagSafe; Yay or Nay?

    I've been reading up on MagSafe ammunition, and trying to decide if there is any place for them in self defense firearms. At first glance, these seem to be the ideal defense ammuntion (and IDK; they MAY be), but there are a few things about them that make me pause before trusting them with my...

    Attaching a laser to a S&W model 10?

    Is there anyway that one could attach a laser sight to a K-frame 4" model 10-7, where you would NOT have to change the grips? I have seen the crimson trace grips, but, I strongly prefer the monogrips, and want to keep them. This is a range/HD gun, so concealment is not an issue. Any...

    A connection between marksmanship and morality?

    What do you guys think about this quote from Jeff Cooper? It does seem that many badguys are poor shots, but I'm not sure if there is any direct correlation between being a good shot, and morality. Have most of the crack-shots that you have known been good guys?

    Do horizontal shoulder holsters violate cooper rule #2?

    If you are walking around in a populated area with a pistol in a horizontal shoulder holster, then your muzzle is covering people all the time. Does rule #2 only apply when the firearm is in your hands?

    Should I get the 640 or 642?

    I'm going to be buying my first revolver, I held several J-frames in my hands at the gunshop, and they felt just PERFECT in my hands... The gunshop employee told me that the recoil with .357s in the airlites is absolutely savage. Even told me of a guy who had to fire 21(?) shots to qualify...

    Suppressed revolver from Knight?

    Hi all, I guess I've got too much time on my hands today, because I am sitting around thinking about unusual guns... I remember reading about a suppressed ('silenced') revolver from a company (or individual) that was IIRC named Knight. I believe it was either based on Ruger's GP-100, or...

    Beretta 21a detail strip, trigger job

    Hi all, I have several thousand rounds through my 21a, and I like to detail strip, and clean my pistols once a year; does anyone have instructions, or a diagram that would help out? Also, is there any way to make the trigger pull smoother? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
