Hello everyone! :) I have a seemingly easy question. Is there a good way to clean gunk out of checkered grips (wood)? There is a lot of gunk in the valleys of the checkering primarily where my fingers of my right hand wrap around the grip to the left side of the gun. I assume it skin cells...

I'm looking for a new range bag, and I have read a lot about the iShot bags, but their company website doesn't have any listed except the small version. Does anyone know if they still sell items like the Pro/Modular bags? Thanks!

I just read this on a local news site available here: http://www.wpxi.com/news/13687045/detail.html I say Octavia is right. Good job by this brave clerk. I hope he is not charged.

Has anyone ever used or handled a Kimber Marias OU? Just curious as to your opinions. They look like beautiful guns... And sorry for the scrolling!

Hey everyone, thought you guys might be able to help me here... I am looking for a quality IWB holster for my Kimber CDP Pro II (4”). At the moment, I have a cheap IWB holster, which lets the gun ride too low onto my belt line (cheapo Uncle Mikes). Because of it riding so low, the...

I just read this article on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/05/14/rudolph.taunts.ap/index.html This guy is disgusting in every way. Why is he still alive? But anyways, that's just my personal opinion. But don't worry, this does have to do with guns I promise. :) So I was reading the...

I have begun to hoard ammunition and I need some fellow THR stockpiling advice. :D At the moment, my rather small supply of .45 ACP (1200 rounds), is sitting in stacks of factory boxes in my closet. :uhoh: I figure this is as good a place as any, in terms of heat and humidity. I have always...

Hello everyone! I have another “what .22 semi-auto pistol should I buy” question (I can hear the moans now :evil: ), but I have a few things I’d like to find out that I have not found searching THR’s archives. I have read up on THR threads about Browning Buckmarks, Ruger MK IIIs, Walther...

I just found this surfing the website of a local newspaper. Isn’t this interesting… talk about irony and hypocrisy. Not that I’m truly surprised. Here's the link: http://www.observer-reporter.com/OR/Story/04_27_PA_XGR_GunControl4 A few quotes I think you guys will enjoy… I guess NOW...

Hello everyone! I am looking to invest in a new cleaning system, and have a quick question about this Otis Tactical system. Does anyone use this? I have searched and it seems to get great reviews. But is it worth it enough to NOT buy a new rod, or throw away your existing rods? It looks...

As the title says, is there a tactful (non-incriminating, I-don’t-want-to-be-expelled) way of getting University opinion on CCW? I was thinking of sending an email to our University police department from an email asking something similar to the following: However, I’m not sure this is a...

Wow. So I finally decided I’d like a Springfield XD Sub-Compact in .40S&W. Bi-Tone. However no one sees to have these things in stock! Every online store is backordered on them, and my local stores don’t seem to carry the bi-tone. My one buddy who is a gun shop owner said that even his...

Hello everyone! As my name implies, I am a big fan of the 1911 and am very familiar with .45 ACP ballistics, etc. However I am now considering looking into an area I am not familiar with, plastics and .40s :) I really like the Springfield XD Sub-Compact with the stainless slide, but was...

I go to college in the city, and just last night I noticed some raccoons scurrying in and out of my neighbors house on their roof. I offered to trap them and relocate them to a nice nearby park. However I have never tried baiting raccoons, so does anyone have any tips on what to use as bait...

I'm looking for a pin punch set for general firearm work, as well as a roll-pin punch set. Can anyone recommend a good set of punches and roll-pin punches that I can purchase online (i.e. MidwayUSA, etc). Also, any thoughts of brass vs. steel. I take it brass means less possibility of maring...

Does anyone know how tight is enough for a 1911 grip screw? I've just been doing them a little over finger tight with the ends of the screwdriver, not torquing it too much. I'm scared to strip the screws or the mounting points in the gun, but don't want them backing out while shooting. I had...

I am tempted to buy some Wilson magazines for my new Kimber CDP (aluminum frame) however I do not like the fact it sticks out of the frame for carry purposes. Sooo.. does anyone have any experience with Kimber Kim-Pro magazines? These seem to have a skirt from what I can tell - so will these...

Hello everyone! My 21st birthday was Jan 5th, and after saving up all summer at my job... I bought my dream gun. A Kimber Pro CDP :) So I have a question. What is a good magazine for this gun? I'd prefer a 7-round. Now this is an aluminum frame, so I'm worried about the follower...

Hello everyone. I'm not sure if this belonged here under legal or not but... I am currently a college student, and I've decided to apply for a concealed carry permit here in PA. Now on the application form, it asks for your current employer. However I am currently unemployed as the semester...

Does anyone know how to disassemble a Weatherby Vanguard's bolt? I'm not sure if you need a special tool or not. :confused: Thanks! Tristan
