    Model 1 Sales Problems

    Hmmm, the third party sellers of Model 1 equipment at recent show in N. Texas still begs the question; if these sellers are purchasing the items(regardless of full kits, upper assemblies, etc), just what type of respect(or partial/complete) or lack of respect does this show to those of us that...

    Model 1 Sales Problems

    An interesting point... ... from one poster over on AR15.com, it would appear that Model 1 is selling kits/parts at shows local to Model 1, but telling phone/on-line orders that a delay is default at this time. Here's the link: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=418451&page=16...

    Who Makes A Single Stack Mid or Full Size 9mm

    If Discontinued.... ... models are to be included(Sig 225, 220, S&W 39, etc.), then include the Beretta 92 Compact L Type M. This is the shorter barreled and gripped Beretta model 92. The barrel is 4.3" in length and the grip 0.5" shorter, with a single stack eight round magazine. The Type M...

    Taurus PT917 CS

    Taurus PT917 is similar.... ... to the now discontinued Beretta 92 and 96 Centurian. The Centurian was a full size frame(in the grip area, but shorter dust cover area), but a shorter barrel of 4.3" in length. For competition, the fact that the PT917 has a rail arrangement on the dust cover...

    Lake City Loading the .40 S&W?

    The other day I was culling the range brass that I've picked up after several matches recently and ran across something that I'd not seen before. I discovered a single piece of .40 S&W brass that has a headstamp of LC and the caliber/nomenclature(40 S&W). Up to this point, I was unaware that...

    arcus or bersa?

    Bersa T9FS Experience I had owned a Bersa Thunder 9 Full Size(T9FS). It was okay for a time, but a metallurgical flaw in the slide caused a failure. Rather than detail it here, just utilize this link to a post on the Bersa Talk forum: http://bersatalk.com/forums/thread/12635.aspx I've not...

    35 Remington in 21" Contendr carbine barrel.

    .35 Remington While I can't vouch for experience with a 21" TC barrel, I had done some work with the .35 Rem in a 24" barrel on a Brazilian SR Mauser. The short of it is that I found Hodgdon H-335 to be a very good powder behind a Hornady 180 SSP(Single Shot Pistol) bullet. My final load was...

    A Tale of Two Bersas

    Update On Bersa Thunder 9 Full Slide Failure While tangentially related to this thread's start, here's a link to a post on Bersa Talk. It pertains to my experience with a Bersa Thunder 9 Full Size(T9FS), Eagle Imports the Bersa USA importer and what may be some startling information on how...

    A Tale of Two Bersas

    Bersa Experiences I hate to put a partial damper on the party, but I thought that I'd make a short post of my Bersa experiences. I've owned four Bersa pistols. These being a model 85 13 rnd. capacity .380, a Thunder 22, a Thunder .380 Deluxe and lastly a Thunder 9 Full Size(aka High...

    Sportman's Warehouse

    Well Now.... .... wouldn't that just figure. The chain sports store that appears to be the friendliest(perhaps, price wise) is on the other end of my state. Well, all's not so bad. I've got a Cabela's 20 minutes away, a Gander Mountain about an hour and a Bass Pro about the same. I guess...

    .38 Super Cool

    Perhaps More.... .... enlightened in your area, Bond. The shops in my general locale do not tend to carry much in the way of the Taurus line. And BTW, I make the rounds often enough to know when the changes in such happen. I may want one at some time, but it isn't at the top of the list(an it...

    .38 Super Cool

    Firestorm .38 Super If memory serves(uh oh!), the Firestorm that was a .38 Super was actually a Llama remarked as a Firestorm. Typically, a 1911 type clone platform. Ah yes, the Bersa .380 Super, which is unfortunately not imported into the USA. I believe the Thunder380 Plus may have been...

    Best budget handgun from CDNN?

    Good Recommendations Forrestd, The previous replies have all listed some good recommendations and I can agree with them all. There are only two contributions I could add: 1-Don't forget to include a CZ75 variant in the choice selection, if one's available in the price range; 2-If possible...

    A New Hi-Power and A Day Off

    Nice Review While I don't have overly large hands myself(about as small as can be while still able to palm a basketball), I can concur with the experience of High Power biting. In every other aspect I was enthralled with the one HP that I had(a Belgian no less). The being bitten may be the only...

    A Little Taste of the Sandbox.

    Without Broadband Difficult to watch on dial-up(hey, out here in the Berks County boonies, DSL doesn't exist and NO I won't go cable[don't ask, ex-AT&T/Com Cast employee]). Is there anyway to acquire this as a download? From the looks of what I did view, this is something I would like to...
