I recently bought a new colt 1911 stainless, and it proved to be very unreliable after I had cleaned it. I sent it back to the factory, and it came back a little better, but not much. Now, one thing that struck me was that it was plenty reliable during its very first range session and during the...

Last weekend we went shooting a pinned mag AR, where the magazine is fixed to make it legal in California, and it was failing to feed a lot. Rounds would strip out of the magazine, but the bullet would get wedged in the feed ramp and stop. If we pulled the charging handle back again and "let...

Just as the title says, do you prefer two triggers or one on a hunting double? Not for clays, which is predictable, just for hunting, which is not. I'm lusting after the Ruger Gold Label, but I want two triggers.

OK, I've been reading these gun forums (fora?) now for a few months, and I see a lot of talk about the 'SHTF rifle,' debates on caliber, action, etc. I want to step back and ask a different question: Of what possible use is ANY rifle in a SHTF situation? After Katrina and 9/11, I'll grant you...

Went to my usual bank this morning to get some quarter rolls, and it was closed for remodeling. I then went accross town to a newer branch. Inside the doors were some ATMs, and then another set of doors to go into the main lobby. These doors lead into an "airlock," one going in and one going...

I've never been a fan of the 1911 before. I've always found it to be too hard to shoot, due to excessive recoil, and I've heard many old servicemen make the same complaint. This weekend, however, I had the chance to shoot one and decided to try holding it differently from my usual grip...
