    My dad's stolen 1911 is back home

    Send it out to have the mat finish bead blasted and the flats polished up.... this shouldn't cost too much.

    FN high power

    The new FN BHP is a very different gun, styled similarly as the original. You are correct about there being no parts compatibility. There's also nothing much by the way of aftermarket parts available for them as they haven't really caught on (high price and new crop of clones being the...

    Face to Face Firearms Purchase

    Packing, shipping, driving to FFL, filling out forms... that all equates to work. Perhaps the guy just wants to sell his gun and not do work. Or perhaps for idiological reasons, he doesn't want to play the Feds game. Or... it could be hot or used in a crime. Or... it could be an ATF sting...

    Wayne LaPierre is resigning.

    I think they need leadership that already has stature and fortune, accumulated via. years of personal success. Charlton Hesston didn't need a dime of the NRA's money to acquire the good life. He already had it. If anything, standing for the NRA probably cost him $.

    Wayne LaPierre is resigning.

    I let my membership lapse after it became obvious that Wayne-ol-boy was letting his personal gain trump the best interests of the organizationg. But I'll never forget that the NRA were the ones that gave us Heller and McDonald... which turned the tide in our favor.

    TO POLISH OR NOT TO POLISH

    Shoot the gun b4 you tinker, and don't tinker unless there's a specific problem you need to address. Me thinks your friend is trying to look smart.... but maybe isn't an experienced smith (hobby or pro).

    What does it mean to say a gun has "soul"?

    Nothing. Guns are inanimate objects. You may like certain combinations of form and material in your gun, but that does not ascribe to it a "soul"

    Mouse Gun thread

    Now that you have a 32 gun in your pocket for fun, it's time to put a razor in your shoe. Then you too will be "bad"

    Refusing a gun shipped to you through FFL

    I've only used two FFLs for purchased items. Both are kitchen table type guys, but I've never had a bad experience with either. But then again, I stopped buying used guns a long time ago.

    Kudos to Berry's bullets.

    I love Berry's, but they really do need to double box these things when they don't have an inner plastic case. I've opened my mailbox to find loose bullets spilling out of the corners of the box in the past.

    Have you ever sold/bought reloaded ammo?

    no and no... I only trust my own reloads and don't want to get mired in legal (ITAR) issues selling reloaded ammo.

    1911 load question

    Agree 100%. I have yet to find a JHP that won't feed reliably in either my modern commander length or full length 1911s (polished feed ramp, throated barrel and enlarged ejection port) when using CMC Power Mags or Tripp Cobra mags.

    Colt Gold Cup

    Your dad had good taste in hand guns and obviously appreciated accuracy. I think that for it's day, the GCNM was the pinnacle of accuracy in a factory gun. There are several subtle details inside the GCNM guns of that era, that are different from the non-Gold Cup guns. (I recommend not detail...

    Guns You Should Have Bought When You Had The Chance, And Now Regret Not Buying

    There was a window of time that you could get a brandy new Dan Wesson CBOB for $800. I hemmed and hawed and then that window slammed shut and now the equivalent VBOB runs ~$2K

    Hi power issues

    Agree 100%... the best part is you can see the sear from the but end when the hammer is cocked.... so you can observe the motion and assess how significant it is. FWIW, my Portugal assembled FN had slight sear motion with safety engaged right from the factory. The hooks on the BHP hammer are...

    Status of Loaded Guns in your home....

    We all must weigh the risk vs. reward equation for our specific circumstances and priorities. I myself have long considered the risk of having unauthorized hands having an accident with my firearms, or of engaging a perceived threat only to find it was one of my teenagers (or their friends)...

    Hi power issues

    OBTW, I think the ported barrel looks kind of cool. Please let us know how it shoots when you get it all figured out.

    Hi power issues

    The BHP sear springs I've purchased were all the same, regardless where they came from (Midwest Gun Works , Midway USA, Wolff Gun Springs, BH Spring Solutions, and Cylinder & Slide) so just shop whoever has them in stock. The Cylinder & Slide fire control sets (hardened tool steel sear and no...
