Thought some folks here might be interested in a product I recently purchased. It's one of MagGuts.com's 7 round magazine conversions for the Ruger LCP (they also make one for Kel-Tec's P3AT). I give it a "thumbs up" so far: quality is good and the installation is not challenging. I've run quite...

Picked mine up today. with a Kahr CW45: ..and a Glock 27: I put about 120 rounds through it, mostly 230 gr. FMJ and LRN, without issue. It didn't like the bullet profile of Hornady XTP and had several failures to return to battery with it. I bought some 185gr. Mag-Tech Guardian Gold and...

I've wanted one of these for awhile, so I was quite pleased when a pair of used, 3" model 36s turned up in a local shop. Each looked to be in great shape and sported rubber grips: Uncle Mike's on one and Pachmayr on the other. The shop let me shoot both before choosing which one I wanted and I...

In the Marine Corps, the saying goes “The difference between a sea story and a fairy tale is how they begin. Fairy tales start out “Once upon a time,” sea stories begin a little less refined and best not repeated here. So, I’ll use the EOD folks line:“So there I was, ...” So there I was, at a...

Well I sold off one of my revolvers with the intention of buying a Kahr CW9 as a companion piece for my CW45. However, I succumbed to the sultry lines of a steel and wood grande dame. You know, there just something to that name "Hi Power"; I've long thought it a great moniker for a pistol:)...

I thought about posting this in the non-firearms forum, but believe it might be of more interest here (mods please move if you feel otherwise). IZH MP-656K CO2 Pistol by IZH-Baikal Regards, Greg

I have a Charter Undercover that just never has thrown the slugs where the sights are pointing. Well one night, I got the idea in my head to try and tweak the front sight a little to correct it's windage problem. I got it nicely secured in a padded vise, taped the sight off and tried to bend it...

I traded a stainless Colt Series 80 Government Model for this Officer's Model Match: I figure, I can most likely connect on another stainless GM, but the OMMs are getting harder to find (at least in my neck of the woods). I haven't shot it yet, but it's in time and locks up "bank vault"...

Hi all, I recently found a stainless steel Taurus 85 snub (my first Bull) at a local pawnshop. It didn't seem to be overly abused, just the numerous scratches and dings that seem par for a lot of guns in this shop. It wasn't till I got it home that I noticed the side plate had been buffed pretty...

In early 1993, I was headed overseas and trying to get my ducks in a row prior to the move. In that process, my reloading setup and several firearms went to a good friend. One of the guns was an older Colt Police Positive Special in .38 Spl. It had seen some hard use (mostly cosmetic) prior to...

I found this Vaquero at a local shop. It might be the makings of a "Barbecue gun" or maybe just a nice packing piece: Regards, Greg

I've posted this on the Ruger Forums, but the work was so nicely done I thought it might be of interest to the larger spectrum of members here as well: I've wanted a pair of "service" style grips for my Security Six. I had two pair, but both were a short fit on the frame and most photos I...

Here are a few shots of my SKS; it's a Navy Arms Cowboy's Companion: Regards, Greg

What is there not to love about air guns (especially with the ammo situation right now) and some backyard fun? Recently, I came across a unique looking, little air rifle on the web. It's an IZH 61 made by Baikal. I was intrigued by the look and really liked the size of it, so I decided to buy...

These are a pretty plain, but I really like the fit and feel of them. They are full checkered, paper Micarta from Cylinder and Slide. A little out there: when I went to resize the original photo I noticed it was exactly 1911 pixels wide:) Anyone else have new grips out there? Regards, Greg

Recently I found a S&W Model 63 at a local pawn shop. It was wearing some oversize Pachmayr grips and sporting a few bumps and bruises. It was priced right around $300 so I decided to buy it. I took it the range and found that it would not hold an elevation adjustment. Later, I found that the...

I picked up the parts (about $70 on Gun Broker) to do this some time back, but just got around to putting it all together it. I bead blasted the parts and installed night sights while I was at it. Before Parts After Regards, Greg

I was perusing an old thread for photos of single actions and just didn't get see enough to wet my whistle. If you are aware of another thread (besides the "Revolver Picture thread of all time" nice as it is), please point me to it. It would be much appreciated if any would care to post photos...

A recent Highroad thread in regards to a shillelagh reminded me of this thread on another forum: Wooden Weapons. Perhaps, some here might find it of interest. Photo from that thread: Regards, Greg

I learned to shoot with a single shot, 22 cal. rimfire rifle (Stevens Crackshot) and the first gun I could call my own was another 22 single shot rifle (Springfield model 15). I guess I have a soft spot for them; there's something about the ritual/rhythm of them that appeals to me. This one...
