I'm on a more than tight budget, so the Sigma 9unless I find a used gem) is probably about as good as I'm going to do right now. Like everyone else, I've heard the trigger is terrible, but my question is exactly what all can I do to improve upon the trigger, and how much difference would...

How long is the turnaround? I'm looking at a new Sigma because my budget's well...pathetic I mean, If I have to wait a really long time to get it back, it's not worth it anymore.

I finished watching "Street Kings" a little while ago, and I was curious about what the 1911 was that he was using...anyone have any idea?

After watching teh video and seeing the statements on the forum about the PT145 being able to fire with the safety lever engaged (assuming the trigger was slightly rearward when the safety lever was engaged), I'm surious as to what would actually happen if a round was fired with the slide locked...

I've been considering a Springfield Champion (and possible am Ultra Compact for a super soft 9mm), but I occassionally run across comments saying things like you have to make sure thins are "lines up JUST right" ot that things (ie springs I assume) can fly away if you;re not careful. I...

I', gpnna get my first 45 soon (and readily admit I don't have alot of firearm experience fompared to many here). I understand that the first shot isn't completely likely to put the BG down, and so I'm wondering about 45's with a design that'll shoot soft enough to allow for that crucial...

Where's the best place online to look for a good deal on a used handgun?

I don't have a .45 ACP, and my local gunshop has a barely used Taurus PT24/7 w/2 Hi cap mags for $309. I've never had much experience with the Taurus line, but the things I've read about this model have been very positive. I was hoping to hear from anyone who has / does own one, or anyone who...

can someone explain exactly what's involved in a "trigger Job" and how much iddference would one make on my XD9SC?

Alot of the responses from my thread "when things go bump in the night" got me thinking about home safety. To that end, I was having a conversation with someone that talked about a cheap way to build "safe room." He said he was considering putting 3/4 inch plywood up on both sides of the walls...
