    Gimme some ideas as to what I should fill the holes of my sights with.

    Get a bottle of white out, the stuff used for correcting typing errors. Just dab a little where you want it. I used to outline the front sight , which worked pretty good.

    How should you clean your guns?

    I don't clean the inner parts every time, but I do wipe all of the fingerprints, and other crud off of the outside before I put it away. When I do decide to clean the insides, I take off the wood grips, and take the gun apart, if it's a revolver, the cylinder comes off , if it is an auto, the...

    I will not buy any more guns!

    My problem is that I want to re-acquire all of the guns that I sold over the years. I know that I had a darn good reason to buy the gun in the first place, but I can't think of the good reasons why I sold them. So I want them back.:banghead:

    Smallest Reliable Pistol.

    :fire: Berretta Minx in .22 short , used to carry it in my back pocket , in a flat holster, as a back up gun. Had it many years, shot it many times , with no problems. Always had .22 short hollow points in it. They don't sound like much, but I would hate to be shot with one.

    Rollmarks?

    Thanks DSK, Your explanation makes sense as to why the roll marks on my two older guns are barely visable . The slides were probably polished after the roll marks were applied , and enough metal was taken off to make the roll marks appear very shallow.

    What is up with GunBroker?

    In that system restore, how far back did you go? When I had the power outage, and kept getting the-this page cannot be viewed- on another forum, I had to go back two weeks before it would straighten out. Just another thought.

    What good mini 14 mags and where to buy them?

    Several years ago I purchased a 20 rd mag ( forgot the brand) at a gun show, the thing would not even begin to function. I got to comparing it to the factory mag and noticed a big difference between the followers . The after market had a lot more material in it. I took both mags apart and re...
