    I need some opinions on what you folks think is the best lubricant for the inners of semiautos - Slide, rails, etc. Couple of years ago I bought a lubricant designed for that purpose. I comes in a small clear needle-nose applicator bottle - seems to be about an ounce of two - can't find the...

    Shipping part of a pistol

    I think I know about shipping firearms to the manufacturer, but I don't recall reading about shipping part of a firearm. I bought a new Kahr Elite 2003, and a set of wood grips for it. Problem: The screw holes did not lined-up; same thing with the second pair. Kahr says they can fit the grips...

    Recoil Springs for Kahr MK9

    Just recently bought a new MK9 Elite 2003 and so far it has performed flawlessly. The only "problem" I have is racking the slide with these old, weak hands - the factory standard recoil springs in the MK guns is said to be at 20.5 Lbs, I wonder if reducing it to the 18.5 Lb Wolff offers will...

    New Kahr MK9 Elite 2003

    I just couldn't resist... just got me a new Kahr MK9 Elite 2003 with night sights - a jewel, a work of art... haven't shot it yet. If it proves reliable, after the break-in period (200 Rds), this will be my pocket/carry gun. I first was thinking about getting the MK40, but at my age, with not...

    Taurus Revolver Owners

    I need help deciding: I read good and bad about Taurus guns, it runs about half & half. I'm going to narrow it down to a specific revolver - any one here owns an "ultra lite" 2", .22 Magnum 941SS2UL? I'm thinking about buying one. I normally go the S&W way, but their new .22 Magnum, 351PD will...

    Semi-Auto for an Oldfella

    Would you recommend a Beretta Compact 9000S Type F (Single/Double Action) for an Oldfella with a very weak grasp to rack the slide? I recently sold my Glock 26 because I had problems racking the slide. I bought a small S&W Revolver, but would like to have a 9mm semi-auto as a home defense and...

    Help!

    I need advice from you savvy folks. I had and sold a sub-compact 9mm Glock because I had difficulty racking the slide, weak left-hand grasp. Can any one suggest a similar pistol (sub-compact 9mm) that will be easier to work the slide? I thank you in advance. The Oldfella.

    How to Conceal

    In winter there is no real problem concealing - In your jacket/coat pocket, in just about any type of belt holster, even Mexican style - in the summer, however, you do have all kinds of restrictions. Or maybe not, if you can do a Houdini, trying to get the gun out in an emergency. You can wear a...

    Ghost Ring Sights

    I recently bought my first shotgun for Home Defense, a Mossberg 590A1, and shot it couple of times - solid as a rock. I did make a mistake in not buying one with ghost ring sights, and wonder if it is practical to have those things installed... or have some other sights installed. Any ideas...
