    Major piece here about American gun law...

    Significant Anti-gun piece up here: http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2012/04/23/120423fa_fact_lepore?currentPage=all Haven't seen a gun-grabbing piece this well-written in a long time. And no, I don't agree with large parts of it. Still, it's worth reading. Paulus

    HK P7 firing pin assembly...help!

    Hi all, Just got my first P7, a basically unfired Niedersachsen PSP from 1986. As I knew, it has a sweet balance in the hand, etc. and etc. I've always wanted one after shooting one a few years ago. Anyway, after getting it today, I field stripped it (including taking the grip panels...
