I've got a 3" M65 that I'm looking to carry in an IWB holster, and I have a question. Is a sweat shield worth worrying about? I'm a bit...ah...large in the waist, and so I'll be rubbing against the gun a lot. I always wear a t-shirt tucked in under whatever I'm wearing, but should I still...

For Christmas, my wonderful wife bought me a nice set of Springfield-logo cocobolo grips for my GI Mil-Spec. The grip swap went well enough, except that I noticed during the first range trip with the new grips that they had come loose after a while. Evidently, I didn't tighten the grip screws...

My wife wants to do something really nice for my Christmas this year, and has asked me for a ranked shopping list. Of course, the top of the list is populated with gun-type thingies. Which would you pick to top the list?

Marcus Ranum, founder of NFR Security, has an opinion on Oswald's shot--that it could have even been made with a handgun. Of course, his opinion on the 1911 may well get me flamed ( :neener: ), but I basically agree with him that the conspiracy theories are just bunk. He shows what many...

This has to be the worst news report I've ever seen. It just ran on ABC 24 in Memphis, and there's a link to the video in the article. While I agree that one should get the hell away from a carjacker post-haste, this report was just silly. At the part in the broadcast version where the...

I've often noticed that there are a few folks who want to put up Timothy McVeigh as being somehow justified in blowing up the Murrah Building just because there were some federal agents inside, some of whom might have been involved in the Waco thing. Folks, two wrongs don't make a right...

Hello, all. I just joined the 642 Club Saturday upon the purchase of a new 642-2. I've read all the complaints regarding the clearcoat finish, and how it does not play well with some cleaning agents. While I think that a finish should be tough enough to stand up to a shot of GunScrubber, that...

I've noticed that the CMP is offering some M1 Carbine receivers. I'm thinking of building one up (or having Fulton Armory do it) for a shooter, and I see that CMP is offering some Plainfield and Universal receivers. Here's my question: are these receivers the same as the GI ones? I know that...

I'm looking into getting one of Jerry Kuhnhausen's 1911 shop manuals, and I need some info. I realize that there are two, but I can only get one for the moment. I will get the other later on when I can slide it under the radar. ;) . Amazon says that the second is not a revision of the...

From an article regarding Hezbollah, Lebanon, and Syrian involvement: While I realize that the person is most likely talking about terrorist organizations, and I might very likely be reading too much into the statement, I don't think the Founders would agree with the italicized section of...

First off, I apologize if this question has been answered before, but I ran a search and didn't get much. I've got a Springfield WWII Mil-Spec, and I'd like to ditch the ILS. I'm looking for an arched, parkerized mainspring housing with the lanyard loop to retain the look of the pistol...

Anyone ever use these or know anything about them? http://www.dummy-rounds.com/ Thanks in advance.

ABC 24 News in Memphis just ran the same AWB story that the other ABC affiliates and national broadcasts have been running. It's the one that starts out with the wacko bank robbers in Hollywood spraying automatic weapons fire all over creation, and the talking head's voiceover stating that the...

No, it's no joke. I was on my way to work, and this guy blew out my back window. Road rage sucks. I was unarmed. I moved into a new state almost two years ago, and just never got around to getting the new permit. I sure felt naked without it today. I'm just glad the guy decided to get the...

I'm looking for a good .223, and I think I've settled on an AR for several reasons, not the least of which is parts availability and ease of repair. Problem is, I'm low budget - and I mean low. No $1000 rifles for me. What would you folks recommend? I'm basically looking for a carbine, but...

This is the question - whether 'tis better to trade for a Springfield WWII Mil-Spec or keep a Kahr K9. If I keep the K9, it's gotta get an Elite trigger, $50 or so all told. Trade difference for the Springfield, $50. I like the Kahr, but will lose money on the trade. But I really, really...

Hello, my name is Pebcac, and I'm a swap-aholic. I have always traded in stuff to get new stuff, rather than spend the whole chunk and keep everything. If I'd kept it all, I'd have around 20 handguns in a safe and probably be much happier gun-wise, but probably also divorced. ;) I've had...
