I just got my Uberti 1866 the other day and took it apart for cleaning/strengthening the loading gate. It was a bit of a hassle! Now its back together, minus the loading gate which has the JB Weld drying on it. I worked the lever and everything seems to be moving in the right direction...

Hey guys, I'm taking my 1866 down for a cleaning (first time) and the lever screw is stuck. It turned to the point where the opposing side plate came off, but now it just turns in place. It looks as though the threads on the screw aren't catching the grooves on the frame. What can I do...

Now before I get :fire:'d, I did search! I've read up on pretty much everything about the Uberti 1866, as I recently purchased one and get to pick it up on Sunday. But my research has brought up a few things that I wanted to ask other 1866 owners, as I noticed there are a few here. I...

So looks like a lot of us are going to get a $600 stimulus package. As such, we must thus put that money back into the economy. I'm not too huge on rifles so don't know many of my options, but is there anything worth buying for under $600? Preferably I'd enjoy something semi-automatic...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any current/ former LEOs or Military remember their Pistol Qualification tests. I'm trying to find out what distance they're shot at, which target(s) they use, and what the score rankings are. Are they silhouette targets or bullseye targets, etc. Possible...

Hi Guys, I'm about to get into the T-Shirt online sales business to test out how we do. A few friends of mine with design experience are going to give it a whirl, because we think we have some clever ideas. I was wondering if you guys here buy t-shirts online, or purchase generally gun...

I'm filling out paperwork for a Beretta 92FS this weekend. Love the gun, have shot it a lot at the range. I've done a few searches, haven't found too much info, but I wanted to know if anyone here has bought the conversion kits? I've heard good things about the Ciener .22 conversion, which...

In specific regards to the Ruger Vaquero, I sometimes see it described as "Case Hardened" or "Blue" or "Blued" in opposition to Stainless Steel. I'm not a huge fan of the look of SS, so I'm not entirely interested in it. My question is: Is the blued Case Hardened or are there three...

So those who carry 1911s, what condition do you carry in? I came across this article online Cocked & Locked and thought all the condition one people would enjoy it, it has a good tone to it. I'm purchasing a 1911 soon and just wanted to get a feel for how people are carrying them. For...

What TV shows do you like that either strongly feature or positively feature guns? Magnum, PI, is a favorite of mine. He almost always draws his 1911 in every episode, and it can be serious and realistic or funny. In episode "Adelaide" I draws his gun and dives to the ground, smacking...

From Rasmussen Reports Public Remains Divided on Gun Control Tuesday, December 18, 2007 Advertisment In the aftermath of two separate shooting incidents in Arvada and Colorado Springs, Colorado, Americans remain evenly divided as to whether or not stricter gun control laws are...

First I apologize if this topic exists somewhere, but the search function keeps giving me error pages. I was wondering if anyone owns/has shot a Henry Big Boy, specifically in .357. I'm wondering if the Big Boy .357 has any trouble cycling .38 Special. I'm wanting to get into CAS, and keep...

Does anyone here CC something large frame or full size? 1911s (I'm sure someone here does!) or full size XDs, etc etc. And if you do, how does it compare to CCing something smaller? How do you carry? What type of holster and where on the body do you wear it? What's it made of? Also...

I own a GLOCK26 currently, and while it's a good gun, it's not a tremendous fit for my big gorilla hands, even with the finger extension. I'm fair with it on the range, but I wouldn't trust myself to nail targets, paper or otherwise, reliably more than 10 yards out. I can put holes in paper at...

I know this topic gets posted (and closed) frequently, but this is brand new today: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5362232.html Pasadena police say Horn shot 2 men in the back Both men were hit by shotgun blasts after entering Joe Horn's front yard By CINDY HORSWELL and...

For those of you who don't reload yourselves, where do you get your ammo? I want to buy in bulk and don't mind reloads (for random shooting, plinking, etc). I'm in particular looking for .45 Colt. I'm trying to determine if I buy my Vaquero in .357 or .45. Ammo price will regrettably impact...

How can I accomplish that? I know - practice. But I've recently returned to the range after a long absence and am not the shooter I want to be. I'm looking for hints, tips, resources, etc on how to shoot better. I'm especially interested in any manuals or books you could recommend that...
