I had the same concerns about someone using a hammer to install the sights and quizzed the gunsmith before leaving the pistol with him. Did not see him install mine but he did have a beefy little fixture that used a screw to force them in. The fixture I made was to be used in a mill. The...

I put a set of the Tru-Glow TFO sights on a P239 shortly after they came on the market. Hesitated on buying them because of that big gap under the front sight. Every other pistol I have seen has been the same. Well, gave them a try anyway. Has not been a problem for me but is still don’t like...

I had to travel across Iowa recently. Did the locked box thing. Also did not stop anywhere in Iowa and did not spend any money there. Figured that with their laws they really did not want any of my business. Have a safe trip.

If your chamber is not scratched from the removal so far try this. Spray a little compressed freon into the chamber to cool the brass ring. It will cool and shrink considerably faster that the steel. Then use bore brush as described earlier to pull it out. It won't take much to cool it...

Does anyone know what type of handgun it was?

I agree 100% with what rr2241tx said. I used to be GM of a small (125 employee) company that sold to Walmart. Brutal, ruthless are just 2 words that come to mind, not a good business relationship. Their practices have put several well known and established companies out of business. They...

I considered the same two models for the same reason. The 225 felt better in my hands than any other handgun I have held. Went with the 239 because it is slightly smaller and magazines were easier for me to get at the time. With Hogue grips and Tru-glo TFO’s it is my favorite. I found some...

I would not be so sure that he did not like the rifle just because it was in the back of his safe and had not been fired. More that likely he was “saving it” for the future or to pass on to his children or their kids. Keep it, hunt with it if you want to. While it is nice to know that your...

"If you can read this... you're in range."

That high dollar, precision shooting AR15 with a scope equaling the value of the gun that gets stolen from someone’s closet and used in a crime is then labeled an “assault rifle” by ignorant reporters and liberal representatives. I’m sure that there are some statistics somewhere, but it is my...

Comfort is important if you wear it against your body for long periods of time. I have found leather more comfortable. Have never seen a comfortable pair of kydex cowboy boots? If worried about the finish on a particular gun, carry something else.

Why do the voters of Illinois put up with this?

Another benefit that no one has mentioned yet is that “night sights” will help you see your handgun on the night stand. I know that it is always in the same place and can probably be easily grabbed even with your eyes closed. Those little glowing dots just seem to catch ones eye when just...

Have you considered using a set of number stamps (like machinists use) to number each magazine? I mark 45 mags on the bottom plate. Use a steel flatbar clamped vertically in a vise. Then take the disassembled mag and slide it down over the bar to back up the bottom plate. Use a medium sized...

I witnessed a similar incident several years ago. It was at a private range. The individual had just completed some slow fire at a paper target. I was about 5 feet slightly behind and to his right observing him. I was looking directly at him intending to make comment to him as he re-holstered...

I like D2 also. Benchmade makes the Griptillian series in D2 with a black coating. I got the small folder at Cabela’s, they say it is their exclusive. I am very happy with it and planning on getting the fixed version soon. D2 is indeed somewhat hard to sharpen but when done right it is very...

The anti’s want fewer firearms sold regardless of how it is accomplished. It seems like a boycott would only help their cause. I expect that I would buy what ever I wanted and could afford. I don’t live in California. I don’t get to vote on anything that goes on there, but this affects us...

Handloading and bullet casting yourself will get you a lot of plinking at very little cost. I have several loads using 120 and 150 cast bullets that are very accurate hunting ammunition and don’t cost very much. I use these same bullets in reduced power loadings also. You save a little on...

Support your local FFL. Shows and the internet are good for browsing, research and unique items. Use caution though, with a wider search radius, you will find more scammers. If you plan on only buying 1 firearm, then going with the lowest price might work out for you. If you plan on...

This issue brings up a question I have had for a long time. I try to clean pretty quickly after each use just as the original poster. In the bolt action rifle I use a bore guide and it makes cleaning easier and I am more confident that the rod is not damaging anything. When cleaning a 1911...
