    Sig P6 DA Trigger Pull

    ..is a beast. I just put over 100 rounds through mine (first time I'd shot it) and the DA trigger pull is just horrendously heavy. There is an FFL near me who is a certified armorer for Sig Sauer, so I might have them lighten the DA pull for me. If so, about how much should it cost? I trust...

    AKAH Holster with my P6

    I recently bought a Sig P6, and it came with this leather AKAH holster like the one here: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=102601208 The thing is, I don't know how to get the belt loop to flip up like it is in that photo. It might make an okay carry holster at some point. Help?

    Buying a Sig P6

    As the title suggests, in a few weeks, I should be purchasing a Sig P6 police trade-in from AIM or some such. If anyone owns/has owned one of these guns, feel free to tell me why you like/dislike the gun. I have small hands, so I think this would be a good gun for me. I do have a specific...

    Guns Show Next Month

    Okay, I know I've posted ad nauseum about this, but I have some concrete knowledge now. I'll be going to the gun show next month with around $250 in my pocket. I'm going to be on the hunt for either a good 9mm auto (like one of those German police trade-in Sig P6s) or a good .357 revolver of...

    Hi-Point Handguns

    I recently turned 21, and have been looking for a handgun ever since for both plinking and possibly CCW/defense. So, here's the deal, I'm a college student, which means I am, how shall we say, on a budget, which is why I'm considering Hi-Point. My dad had one of their 9mm carbines for a...

    Going to be talking with the campus newspaper...

    Someone from my campus newspaper who is writing an article about the protests this week has asked me for an interview, and I obliged. I've never spoken with "the media" about guns before...what kind of questions am I likely to get? Any tips?

    Just Turned 21

    ...And I'm in the market for a handgun. I have some stipulations, though. 1. Must be good for plinking 2. Must be good for CCW/self defense (so no 22s or mouseguns...I tried a little pocket pistol once and hated it) 3. Must be around $200 I fully expect to buy second-hand...I'd ideally...

    Concealed Carry on Campus Protest

    http://concealedcampus.org/index.htm There was an empty-holster protest back in October, and they're having another one on April 21-25. I didn't participate in the October protest because, not being of age to have a CCW at the time, I felt it inappropriate for me to do so. In retrospect, I...

    Five Millionth Ruger 10/22

    I don't know if anyone's been on Gunbroker lately, but if you have, then you've likely seen this. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=89153513#PIC Absolutely stunning. One of the most beautiful firearms I have absolutely ever seen. Get your drool cups ready! :D

    "Carrying a concealed handgun is a privilege, not a right"

    As my 21st birthday approaches, I looked at a pamphlet online that gives the basices on CCW laws in Ohio, which can be found here. http://www.ag.state.oh.us/le/prevention/pubs/cc_booklet20040319-72.pdf The offending line is on page 9 of the pamphlet. I think most of us would agree that...

    K31 Range Report

    As you might know, a few weeks ago, I bought myself a K31 Swiss rifle. It was, of course, in immaculate condition. The walnut stock was dinged up a bit, but nothing horrible. Anyway, I got around to shooting it a few days ago for the first time. I only had 20 rounds of Prvi Partizan soft points...

    Finally Bought a K31!

    Yes, I took the plunge and bought one of these rifles. It's a Walnut stock, reciever, bolt and magazine all match. Dated 1941. Has the troop tag, though I haven't looked at it yet. Very clean and bright bore, of course. All for $230 at the local gun show. I'll have pics up later. How'd I do?

    Ordering a Gun Online

    I'm VERY seriously considering ordering a K31 from FGS. (I'm only 20 so I can't get a C&R license) Never having ordered a firearm online before, how is it done? A step-by-step procedure would be nice. Just want to stay out of trouble.

    CCW in Summer

    Alright, I don't turn 21 till April, but there's something I've been pondering about concealed carry. I live in Ohio, and the summers here can be pretty darn hot. When the weather's warm, I typically wear shorts and a t-shirt. My question is this: How do you conceal a handgun in...

    My Letter to the Editor was Published!

    Hello all. As you might know, I've been working on a letter to the editor of my university's newspaper regarding their idiotic weapons policy. Well, I picked up a copy today at school, and lo and behold, I found it in the OpEd page of the paper. The exact letter, as it appeared in the paper is:

    Just Got Back from the Gun Shop...

    I've been to this place a couple of times before, as I think it's pretty new. Today was "Sig Day" there where they had some free food and a Sig Sauer representative there. There were several people there, more than a few women. Anyway, at 20 years old, I was by far the youngest person there...

    Cleaning a .22

    I am very meticulous about cleaning my guns. I clean them after every trip to the range. My cleaning routine is roughly as follows, aside from the obvious safety "make sure the gun is unloaded" stuff: 1. Dip old toothbrush in Hoppes #9. Scrub out action 2. Dip appropriate brush attached to...

    Might Buy a K31 Tomorrow

    Hi all. I'm planning a trip up to the local gun show tomorrow, and depending on finances and what I find there, I might buy a Swiss K31. I have a couple of questions, though, if I do. What kind of brush do you use to clean the bore? I've never seen a 7.5 brush. Would a plain ol .30 cleaning...
