    Great Day at the Range

    I finally got 500 rounds through my RIA GI 1911 with only one FTRTB at the 50 round point. I fed it two types of ball ammo today and hollow points. All fed and fired fine. This is my new carry piece. My other is a Ruger SP101 .357 with a 2.25" barrel. I'm sending it to Gemini Customs this...

    Bersa Thunder .40

    I seen a Bersa Thunder .40 at a local gunshop today with two hi-cap mags for $350. They're made in Argentine and seem to be well made. I done some research and it seems they make a good .380. Anybody heard any negative comments about Bersa?

    Rock Island Armory Steel Frame 9mm

    I am looking for an inexspensive (not cheap) 9mm and I was looking at a CZ 75B. I noticed Armscor / Rock Island Armory now sells them for slightly less than $400. I have a RIA 1911 and it has functioned perfectly. Plus, I have read tons of posts praising their customer service. Anybody have...

    General Consensus on a Taurus Revolver

    I am thinking about purchasing a Taurus Model 66 revolver. I like the looks of them and they're priced cheap. Is this one of those "You get what you pay for" type things? I have read both good and bad reviews about Taurus revolvers.

    I know little about revolvers!

    I am looking for a .38 +P revoler and I have narrowed it down to three revolvers. Ruger SP101, S&W 637, and S&W 642. I can buy all three locally. The ruger seems stronger and is definitely heavier. Being lighter, is the S&W models weaker? What is the differences bewteen the 637 and 642...

    Another gunkote problem

    I received my Springfield 1911 back from my gunsmith today in the mail. I had some some things changed out, front strap checkered and gunkoted black. I had mailed my 1911 to the gunsmith back in December and it's now June. I stripped the 1911 and cleaned her (dirty due to test firing). My...

    Maybe a Fusion 1911

    I have been looking at getting another high-end 1911 and I've been doing some research. I already have an Ed Brown Special Forces government and bobtailed commander. Fusion Firearms builds a lot of various 1911s (mostly 10mm) for less than $1500. Each 1911 is built after ordering with an 8-10...

    Rock River LAR-8 or DSA FAL?

    I am wanting to buy either a RRA LAR-8 or DSA FAL 58 soon. I know the LAR-8 takes FAL mags. I have 14 years experience with the AR platform (thanks to Uncle Sam), but I know nothing about the FAL. They're are both about the same price. Opinions?

    Gun Cabinet or Safe

    I am looking for a different way to store my rifles. I am in the U.S. Army, so I move a lot. For this reason, I don't want to buy a big heavy gun safe until I retire in 6 years. I have about 15 rifles and many are scoped and I have few garands. I don't believe they will all fit too well in a...

    Gun safe in the garage

    I am planning on buying a gun safe in the near future, but I have no room for it in my house. I thought about putting it in my garage. I have a well organized and clean garage that it would look great in. Is this a good idea? Will the heat and cold weather be hard on my guns? I am thinking...

    Bushmaster front sight

    Well, I took my new Bushmaster 6.8 to the range today to check function and sight it in. It shot high about 8 inches, so I attempted to adjust the front sight. I tried using a nail to turn the sight post, but the thing wouldn't budge. The range owner was nice enough to loan me his front sight...

    Springfield GI

    I have been wanting a Springfield GI for a couple weeks now and I can't find one locally. I guess I am going to have to order one. Does it have the ILS system too? I am guessing it does.

    Stoeger 2000

    I am looking at a Stoeger 2000 at a local Bass Pro. The salesman told me they sell a lot of them and have never heard anything negative about their quality and reliability. I can get one with a camouflage pattern and a 26 inch barrel for $475 (with 15% military discount). Anybody have any...

    Dissappointed with SIG

    I just purchased a new Sig 220 Carry. At the range, it would fail to feed 6 times out of 8. I tried 3 different mags and 3 brands of ammo. I called SIG and they said to send it back. After 2 weeks, I received it in the mail. The workorder stated the gunsmith polished the feed ramp and...

    Kimber Custom Shop Family

    I am wanting another 1911 and I was looking at the "high-end" Kimbers. I am mainly looking at the Gold Combat II. Anybody own one of the custom shop Kimbers? Are these anything special, or is my money better spent on an Ed Brown or Les Baer for a couple hundred more and without MIM parts? They...

    Wilson CQB or Nighthawk Talon

    I am looking at buying a Wilson CQB or Nighthawk Talon. I know this is a "Wilson" forum, but anybody shot both, or have an opinion? Both are nice looking handguns, but the Nighthawk catches my eye. It has serations on the top and back of the slide and an extended mag well.

    Commercial 8x56R ammo

    I believe there was a thread about this same subject, but I cannot find it. I have a Steyr M95 and about 100 rounds of surplus ammo remaining. Is the new commercial ammo produced by Hornandy safe to shoot in this carbine? I'm no expert when it comes to pressures.

    S&w 629

    I have an oppurtunity to buy a S&W 629 (no dashes) in .44Mag with a 8 3/8 inch barrel. The barrel is pinned and the chambers are recessed. It's stainless and looks new in the original box and wrapper. Only shot about 12 rounds. He's asking $750. Is this reasonable? What year did S&W stop...

    RG Industries Model 14

    I recently bought a new in the box RG Industries model 14 .22 revolver for $50. It is still in the box and was purchased from True Value Hardware for $100. It seems like a decent .22 revolver. However, the quality is no where near a S&W revolver. Anybody know anything about these little...
