Does anyone know if Cabo Holster is still in business? Cabo (Carry A Big One) specialized in high ride IWB holsters for big bore revolvers (cylinder above belt line). Nice holsters for Smith N-Frames. Can't find them any longer and their link (caboholster.com) is dead.

Opti-visor: http://www.doneganoptical.com/optivisor.php I'd like to get one for working on handguns, but see there are several versions available. Can anyone recommend a particular model or desired features? Or any models/features to stay away from?

Interesting real world example of how bad things tend to happen really fast...and how pistol carry condition can matter. A German squad conducts maintenance on one of their armored vehicles at a secure location inside their base in Afghanistan (last February)... Taken from Frankfurter...

http://www.kingsgunworks.com/ FYI: As many have probably noted, King's Gunworks continues to have a website (and catalogue) that hasn't been updated in several years. I called them (looking for some King's Hardball Sights)... According to the nice lady on the phone: Regretfully...

A friend has a sporterized 8mm Mauser (German WWII bringback) which has never demonstrated mechanical problems (been in the family a generation or two). He experienced two accidental discharges at the range while locking the bolt forward on surplus Greek Army 8mm. This only happened when...

Have searched various threads, forums, and boards (including S&W website). Has anyone RECENTLY (2006) sent an older 1960s blued revolver (P&R, pre-MIM, pre-lock) back to the S&W factory for reblue and/or minor repair? What was your experience and would you do it again? Turnaround...

Moderators: This is revolver specific but feel free to move... I'm looking for duty pouches to hold HKS or Safariland Comp II speedloaders for N-Frame S&W (.44, .41, .45). Need following features: Stiffened Synthetic (cordura nylon, kydex, etc.) Fits a 1.75" duty belt Fully enclosed...

My first attempt at replacing staked front sight...using a Sistema as my project gun. Have been looking thru Brownells on-line. Can anyone recommend a dedicated 1911 vise adapter/pad suitable for securing the slide or should I just use leather pads from Brownells? Sistema shoots fine...

Pros/Cons compared to the .40 version? I previously owned a .40 Compact and liked it alot. Originally wanted the full sized USP in .45 but grip was overly large for my hand. .45 Compact wasn't available back then. Handled examples of both compact calibers the other day and the .45...

Anyone own or tried the "NATO" length AK stock from KVAR? Aside from overall length / compactness issues, does the full length buttstock allow any more accuracy or comfort while firing? I'm shot the shorter "standard" version...just wondering which to get.

What percentage off of retail shop price do you use for your starting point when negotiating a non-FFL deal (private purchase of a used weapon in NRA excellent condition)? In years gone by, I was always told that a generic new firearm drops 15-20% of retail value as soon as it leaves the...

Have seen a a web site or two advertising this and also use to see at Wallyworld. Anyone else ever tried one? They go for about $90-$100 each and have standard adjustable floods (2) attached to solar panel unit (about 6" x 6"). I thought one or two would be nice to mount on 2nd floor window...

Any experience or opinions on Tacstar (WS2000?) 6V lithium light? Price is only $109 w/ mounts & pressure switch. Is it worth it? Or junk? This is just to outfit an additional Mossberg 500 HD shotty and would probably see only a limited use. I just can't afford to buy another Surefire fore...

Just interested in the production history of 4" 625 since late 80s (What years in production or temporarily discontinued, serial # range, prices on current vs old). I've done some searches both here and S&W Forum. Just confused on judging production years for older models. I've been bitten by...
