I'm looking for a better gun belt that doesn't use buckle holes and is infinitely adjustable. I want something that looks like a normal belt. Does such a thing exist?

And it has nothing to do with their usefulness or whether they may get clicked on during concealed carry. I hate them because they are a royal pain to disassemble. Yikes! It took a lot of time and a fair amount of effort to remove the ambi safety on my Taurus 1911 this evening. (I was...

So I'm in one of our local gunshops on Friday. I have some cash in my pocket as I was planning on picking up a case of ammo. As per my usual practice, I take a look at the used guns that they have on display. "Hmm...is that a Marlin Camp 9 I see on the wall?" "Actually," says the gunshop...

I do most of my shooting at a couple of indoor ranges here in the Seattle area. Neither of these ranges allow one to shoot birdshot; buckshot and slugs are the only rounds permitted. Unfortunately, shooting a lot of buckshot in an indoor range is pretty hard on both the ears and the shoulders...

Hello! I need some advice on my a Marlin/Glenfield 60. Any Marlin experts out there? I recently picked up an used Marlin/Glenfield 60. This is one of the older models with the 18-round magazine and the squirrel stock. Overall, the gun is in great condition, but I’ve been having some problems...

One of our local gun forums has a Marlin Camp 45 for sale. These particular models are fairly rare, and are therefore a bit on the pricey side. (Currently asking $700.) I've read most of the discussions about the advantages/disadvantages of using 9mm ammo in a carbine. But what about a .45...

Got a question for you Ruger 10/22 fans out there: If you had the chance to buy a excellent condition older model 10/22 with the metal trigger guard, would you buy it instead of a new one? If the answer is yes, would you actually pay MORE for the older model than the new one? One of our local...

I'm looking for a new carry gun. Anyone here own a lightweight 9mm 1911? Are you happy with it? As far as my the other guns in my collection, I already have a couple of pocket handguns (P3AT and S&W 442) for those times when pocket carry is the best option. My main range/HD gun is a CZ 75B. I...

This morning, I picked up an older Ruger 10/22 that has an older Bushnell scope on it. The scope is marked "3x-7x custom .22" and is one of their "Rangemaster" models. It looks just like this one: The view through the scope is actually pretty clear. I took the rifle down to my usual indoor...

I have a question about felt recoil: Why would two pistols that weight the same and fit essentially the same in my hand feel significantly different when shooting the same ammo? Last night at the range, I was shooting a CZ 75B and an RIA 9mm 1911. I was shooting the same ammo in each (115 g...

Been shooting handguns for several years and have started looking to expand my horizons a bit. I am looking to buy a nice, but not super-high-end .22 rifle for target-shooting. I've been a big fan of the Ruger 10/22 ever since I was a kid and am leaning to towards getting one of those. However...

Question for someone who has a Ruger Security/Service Six with Badger grips: Is the backstrap exposed on these grips? Or does the wood cover the backstrap? Thanks in advance for the info. TMann

Just picked up a Remington 870 Wingmaster this afternoon. I've been shooting handguns for several years, but this is my first shotgun. I bought it used from a local gun shop and I'm heading off to the range (indoor) after dinner. It came with a 20" barrel with a fixed choke with rifle sights...

I'm considering purchasing a used Mini-14 and was wondering: What year did Ruger change to the heavier barrel? Were there any other significant design changes that are worth holding out for? Thanks. TMann

Just curious what others here thought about a gun that I spotted this afternoon at a local gun shop: The gun is a commander-sized 1911 with a blued Colt slide on a no-name frame. Judging by its weight, the frame appears to be an alloy frame. The slide and component fit well; there was no...

Just curious: I picked up a 4" GP100 in the blued finish from a local shooter. He was the original owner. The gun has standard (non-adjustable) sights and has what appears to be the smaller sized grip. I was under the impression that the 4" models had adjustable sights and the larger sized...

I have small hands. Most of the handguns that I own have are small enough that I can easily reach the trigger and still maintain a straight alignment from my elbow to my wrist to the barrel tip. (I hope that made sense.) However, I have one gun, a CZ P-01, that is just big enough that I can’t...

I have a question for you revolver experts out there: Is there a significant difference in the noise and recoil when shooting a .357 round from a 3" barrel vs. a 2" barrel? I am looking to get another Ruger SP101, (I foolishly sold my other one,) and I'm not sure which barrel length I'm going...

I just acquired my first 1911 via trade with a local shooter. The 1911 is a Springfield Armory Mil-Spec model in the parkerized finish. I haven’t yet been able to shoot it, but I love how heavy and solid it feels. My other full-size handgun is a stainless CZ 75B. I always thought of the CZ as...

Just wondering: Anyone carry a revolver with target sights in an IWB holster? Does the sharp-edged rear sight cause problems when drawing? Or does it not really matter? Thanks. TMann
