    Star 28- likely to break?

    Like the 30m it is a tank. I believe it takes the same mags as the 30M. ProMags will work reliably with one slight modification. There is a dimple on the side of the mag for the hold open. On the ProMag it sticks out too far and binds on the mag well. All you need to do is take a punch and tap...

    Someone needs to feed the gators. :D Glad the Gubner brought the hammer down.

    WASR-10 hang-up issue

    What DeepSouth said. It can be sort of a bolt hold open. Just don't depend on it. Ouch!

    Walther p-22

    What Schlegel said. I owned a P22 but not for long. It worked but the overall quality and build of UMAREX killed it for me. I know a few people in the suppressor biz who really like them, but like other UMAREX offerings the quality is not Walther and is hit or miss with some issues that have...

    Shoot 9mm in Astra Modelo 400 (1921) ?

    Precisely. 9mm Luger is a beast out of the 600. That's why my 600 is long gone and my 400 remains. In any event, with the 400 I highly recommend replacing the recoil spring with a new one from Wolffs.

    HK SL8 thoughts

    I've had one for seven years. I find it to be extremely accurate and completely reliable. An army sniper shot mine (iron sighted) and he did some incredible shooting with it. He was impressed. I have a number of sighting options for mine on separate rails including factory irons on an original...

    Luger expert in northern Georgia?

    Bobby at B&B in Roswell moves more Lugers than anyone else in these parts for a long way. In my opinions he knows his stuff.

    Talk me out of a SIG P250

    Once you have shot the PPX you will be forced to reconsider the definition of hideous. An amazing shooter, to say the least.

    Talk me out of a SIG P250

    If you are fine with the trigger you will be good to go. Staging the trigger is fine but for me the gun really shines with one constant stoke of the trigger. Staging is fine for range work, but not self-defense. I own two 250, a 9 and 45 full size. I find them as shooters to be the equal of...

    H&K releases the P30SK

    Held one today while setting up for the NRA show. Oh my. Perfect.

    I just picked up a SIG 230SL

    You will appreciate the added weight with the SL version. I had an alloy framed 230 back in the Eighties in .380. I found it a bit snappy but very manageable. I got rid of it and regretted it. Six or so years ago I replaced it with a 232SL. Being all stainless I found it to be a much smoother...

    So Did I enhance My Razorback, Or Rape it?

    It's not like it's permanent. Right now I am in the process of SBRing a Glock 17. When I want the nine inch barrel will come out and the stock will come off.

    Suggestions for sidearm for a new shooter with BIG hands.

    The Walther PPX. Perfect for big hands. Outstanding ergonomics. 9mm and very soft shooting. Outstanding trigger. 100% reliable and dead accurate. True Walther quality. It can be had for under $300 new. Magazines are as low as $20 a pop. Although some question its looks Walther hit it out of...

    Blade steel

    If you take care of your things 1095 is good. I also like D2 but there is a trick to sharpening it. If you go too fine it's just like it's dull. You need to leave some tooth.

    School me on the S&W model 59

    Third gen 5900 is good to go. Often overlooked is the second gen 459 and 659. Wonderful pistols.

    S&w 5906 square trigger guard serial numbers

    Farscott is correct. Smith tended to use parts on hand and the feature to serial number relation isn't necessarily sequential. It also made for some unusual transition guns.

    Walther CCP

    Hey snooperman. I agree that Walther Ulm is not without some culpability. For them Umarex was arguably a necessary evil. When Walther was acquired in 1993 it is my understanding that they were in deep money trouble and their future existence necessitated the acquisition. While it is...

    Walther CCP

    I'd also add that I don't recall an Ulm gun suffering a slide separation. Or having a design that requires a takedown tool. Or having early excessive wear. Or coming from the factory as dirty as a pig. The CCP screams UMAREX.

    Walther CCP

    Unfortunately that is exactly what is happening. The problem is that folks don't know the difference, they just see the Walther banner. And then when presented with the facts, that they have been hoodwinked, they go into a defense mode. All UMAREX sees is that one of their guns, the P22, a gun...
