    Does anybody have a source for a Star B. S.A. firing pin in 9mm? Just broke mine dry firing......

    Glock 22 range report

    Finally found a deal on a Glock that I couldn't pass up even though I've never had a good experience with one. After 500 rounds I'm still up in the air about whether she's a keeper or not. I was shooting CCI Blazer, I know not the best ammo,but at $8 a box and not wanting to lose my brass to...

    I think I got a deal...

    Finally I fell to the Glock craze. It's not my favorite by any means, but this deal presented itself and I couldn't resist. I figure I'll at least make my money back. Glock 22 in almost new condition. Looks like it has been handled but not fired too much if at all. With night sites, box...

    Glock problem--blown up

    My buddy just had his longside Glock .40 (not a Glock guy myself-don't know the model) turn itself into shrapnel in is hand. I don't think that the usual kB story is the reason. The barrel hood peeled back, the slide deformed, the frame cracked, and just about every little piece of the gun made...

    Had a very scary range day this weekend

    I was shooting with a buddy of mine at the club this weekend when a couple of guys we knew didn't belong there drove up. I asked them if we could help them and they said no, they were waiting for the NRA instructor. Turns out one of the guys was a bounty hunter who needed to qualify with a new...

    Just bought my most boring gun...

    I picked up a Ruger PC9 today. Put 400 rounds through this afternoon with no surprises what so ever. Knew it was going to be a boring afternoon when the first shot went into the x-ring at 20 yards. Here she is with a off-hand, 15 round group at 20 yards fired as fast as I could get the sights on...

    How about some pics of your carry rigs

    Here's the one I've been toting around lately. Nothing fancy, but it works. Minus the .300 mag round of course...

    Found my next project.

    Picked up a Springer GI Hi-cap on the way home today. Anybody have any experience with these? Thought it would make a nice project gun. I like the fact that the grips can be replaced and that the frame is steel and not polymer. Doesn't feel quite as clunky as a Para or Kimber. Comparing it to my...

    Just bought an XD

    Let me say I'm impressed. I just picked up an XD 40 Tactical. I paid $400 for it. Lightly used and with 4 mags. Very little recoil and accurate. Starting tearing the center out of the target from the get go. I'm partial to my 1911's and my Sig, but I might just be shooting a new gun in the next...

    light hammer strike in a 1911

    I picked up a very lightly used GI Champion for about $300. The only problem is that the gun doesn't go bang every time I pull the trigger. It's not always striking the primer with enought force to set it off. It will dimple the primer although. I've tried several factory loads and some reloads...

    Any CT action pistol shoots this weekend?

    Just wondering if there were any IDPA or IPSC or other action shoots coming up for this coming weekend. I'm hooked!!!!!

    Should I buy a Star

    I'm considering a compact Star auto to use in snubby plate shoots. I need something with a barrel 3 1/2" or less. I don't want to use the gun for carry so spending $700-1000 on a Para or Kimber is not in the future. I've got enough money wrapped up in the 1911's I already have. i can pick up a...

    Shot IDPA for the first time today

    After thinking about it for a while I finally went and shot at a match. Had a great time and shot a lot better than I imagined I would for the first time out. No minus 5's on the day and my times weren't too bad either. I felt pretty good leaving. Felt even better knowing the crowd there shot...
