Which one would be your choice? I'm in the market for a .357 and like the Rugers. I've actually owned both in the past and have since traded them for other things and would like to have one back. I like the four inch models and seem to be getting hung up on the fact that the Security Sixes...

I just picked up a new GP100 and was wondering if anyone uses .357 in USPSA or IDPA and what your rig set up is? I'd be interested in trying ICORE, but nothing here in the Buckeye State. I currently shoot both USPSA and IDPA using a 1911, but thought the use of a revolver in .357 might present...

I wanted to try my hand at .40 on my Dillon square deal and have had a couple questions. I've had great success with both .45acp and .357magnum on the same press. But today after loading some .40 to try in my XD40 I discovered that the cases will not fit into the chamber. I have tightened the...

I was wondering what options I have in replacing the front sight of said gun. I recently picked up a used stainless 6" model and got it looking nearly new with some flitz, but the front sight is very difficult to make out at the range. I thought of painting it, but wanted to know if there was...

I was at a local shop the other day and saw a Ruger MKII with a new receiver. When I asked about it they showed me a catalog of the different configurations that I could get. They only had the four inch available. The different lengths came in a different color. The barrels were fluted...

I just acquired a Springfield XD40 at a great price and would like to add night sights to it with the money I saved. I thought I'd read somewhere, probably here, that the XD would use sights for a different pistol. I think it was the Sigs, but I'm not sure. I have seen a compact XD with night...

I just got a Taurus PT92AR that comes with an accesory rail built into the frame. I'm looking for a holster to fit this gun. I'm currently using a generic nylon pancake holster that seems to fit okay, hard to reholster when it collapses. Anyhow, I had a PT92 awhile back that did not have the...

I was shooting my relatively new GP100 today and noticed that I do not like the front sight at all. I usually shoot 1911s but wanted to take my GP100 to shoot steel plates this weekend and thought I'd better hit the range first. Well, I had a difficult time finding the front sight...

Does anyone know anything about this pistol? I was at a gun store last night and they had one and I don't remember hearing about it. Is it something new or something that is no longer in production? The price tag was very appealling, but couldn't buy it at this time. It looked very similar...

I was wondering what the Ruger GP100, 4", would compare to with the S&W line of frames. I'm looking for a holster and many of the catalogs I'm looking at list the revolver holsters using the S&W frame sizes. I know it's not a J frame or the X Frame. But what would it best be compared to...

I'm looking for a site that has magazines for the xd subcompact. CDNN has one listed as a compact, but I'm not sure they are refering to the subcompact. Also, will the full size magazines fit the subcompact? Thanks.

I was looking at an S&W .357, don't remember the model number, that was made with scandium(sp). It was extremely lightweight. I was wondering if anyone has fired magnums out of this pistol and what the recoil was like. It had a 2" barrel and I was thinking this would be a nice carry piece...

I want to change out a hammer on one of my 1911's and noticed that the strut pin is in there pretty good. I looked in Kuhnhausen's book and it says that the strut pin should be staked to keep it from coming out. Well, two things: 1. Can I just punch out the pin? 2. Do they have to be staked...

I was doing some loading this weekend and had a little over 50 of WIN NT 45 Auto brass that I could not get to take a primer. Any idea what these are or anything. They were the cleanest brass I had, but I ended up sorting through all my brass to find them all. I was just wondering what was...

I don't know if that is the correct term, strength, but I was curious about the recoil spring in my Springfield Milspec. It is much stronger than the one in my Springfield Loaded. I have shot the loaded much more, maybe 1000+ rounds, but would that be the only difference. I bought both guns...

I have a Springfield Loaded 1911 that has a two piece guide rod. I also have the Milspec 1911 that doesn't. What is the difference? I would like to switch to something that does not require the use of an allen wrench to take the pistol apart. Can I just switch out the rod and use a different...

I have a Springfield Milspec that needs to have an extractor tuned. I have had extracting problems with it last night at the range and wanted guidance on the correct way to adjust this thing. Is it just a matter of bending the thing until it will hold a case against the breech face? Should...

I was wondering if someone could help answer a question. I am shooting a stock 1911 in .45 ACP in different IPSC/USPSA shoots and am not clear on what class I should be shooting in. I was told once that it would be Limited and then was told if I used 10 round magazines that I would be shooting...

I did a search but got too many threads to look through for my answer so I decided to post the question. I just bought a Springfield Mil-spec and was shooting it. I also have a Springfield loaded model 1911 and use primarily Wilson magazines. Well, when I used the Wilson's in the new...

I have a Ruger 10/22 that I had sighted in at about 70 yards a couple of years ago. I have not shot it in over a year. I only have easy access to a range that goes to 50 yards. Is there a way to check if it is still locked in at 70 yards when shooting at 50 yards. For example, should it be...
