So I started having failures to extract and failures to feed with a stock Glock 19 at my last shooting session.The issues were with 124g Xtreme HP and 115 Xtreme RN bullets. Mostly, the rounds would not fully feed into the chamber... if they did, a manual extraction by racking the slide was...

So I'm pretty heavily invested in 2 Dillon Square Deal Bs but after checking out a friend's 550b I've decided that I'll be selling the square deals and getting either a 550b or something else. The 550B is just much more comfortable to load on. My biggest complaint about the square deal is 1-...

I had actually never fit a barrel before, period. However, I purchased a threaded barrel for my CZ75 and it arrived today. After a bit of help from Google, I decided to give it a try. It took about an hour but I'm pretty sure it's good to go. Now all I have to do is get a new booster for my...

Not sure where to post this. I don't think these were reloads but take a guess at what happened. Here are the pictures.

I purchased a used CZ 75 (Made in 2007 from the stamp on the slide) and I'm having some difficulties with it. When I got it home I started doing some dry fire practice with it: using snap caps of course. I noticed that the trigger reset was sluggish. Almost like the trigger return spring was...

Anyone know what a Sako Quad with plastic stock, 22LR, 22WMR, and 17hm2 barrel, is worth? I bought the rifle several years ago with the 17hm2 barrel and picked up the other two barrels after the fact. I have not seen a Quad come up for sale recently and wondering what I could sell mine for...

I was in one of my local gun shops today and found a nice Browning Hi Power made in Belgium. My Hi Power history and identification is seriously lacking so I thought I would ask for some guidance to see if the pistol is a good deal. The gun does have a few MINOR rust spots on the top of the...

While at the range today I felt like the reset on my pistol was not as positive as it has been in the past. The trigger was resetting fine but it was not "clicking" and pushing forward like I was used to. Therefore I field stripped it and noticed a little allen wrench screw that the trigger...

I was looking up some information on Aguila Pistol Match 22LR a few minutes ago and a link came up to an online Mexican gun forum: Mexicoarmado.com I found the information I was looking for but just out of curiosity, I started looking at the "for sale" section on that forum and cant believe...

So I was sitting here dry firing my gun in bed and all of a sudden, when I pulled the trigger I heard something hit the ceiling, bounce off the fan, and land in front of my dogs face. Surprised the heck out of me! When I went to pull the hammer back on the gun, it did not feel right. I looked at...

I saw a thread in the "group buy, deals, contests" subforum here on THR that said X-treme bullets had lowered their prices. Therefore, I ordered (500) 147g 9mm bullets and (500) 230g 45ACP bullets on 6/15. Both bullet types showed as IN STOCK. My experience with other bullet providers is if they...

I bought this sig p226 today. The threaded barrel is what made me "pull the trigger" since I can use it with my Tirant 45 suppressor. However, I have been doing a little bit of research on this particular gun and had a few questions for you sig experts out there. Serial #U 393 9** The proof...

I have Spyderco pocket knife that I cannot get sharp at all. I can get all my other knives as sharp as I want them... including my Kershaws, SAK, and Case knife but that dang Spyderco just stays dull. There are several places in town that say they sharpen knives but I am leary of using them...

Had a lot of fun shooting the m52 today. Great weather, great company, great GUN. Always amazes me how accurate this thing is with a steady diet of 148g hbwc and 3.0 grains of bullseye. I had no malfunctions at all with this hand load. Seems accurate enough. Shot 40 rounds at 10 yards and then...

First off, this is just a hypothetical so don't ask why I would do this. The thought just ran through my head earlier today and I decided to ask about it here. If I had a Sig or gsg 1911-22 would a high end Marvel conversion fit and function on the Sig frame? Not sure if the frames are built to...

I have a used R9. All black. Dont know much about it other than it's a very small pocket 9mm. I bought it used but it looks to not have been shot much at all. Only one mag, no paperwork or box. I've been thinking about putting it up for sale to get the new Glock 380. What's the resale value on...

Anything glaringly missing from this simple collection of firearms? Thinking maybe a deep concealment gun is next. Maybe a 308 or 30-06 rifle? I'm partial to lever rifles so maybe a 44mag lever to share ammo with the smith? I'm thinking this about covers all my needs though as I am not a big...

When you read reviews about suppressors there is almost always a disclaimer about the "loudness" or db rating in a given atmosphere. For example, a certain elevation, humidity, temperature. I've noticed here in SC when it starts getting colder, like this week, that gun shots in general start...

This is part of a letter that I wrote to the South Carolina, Jasper County Sherriff concerning a traffic stop: My recollection of the traffic stop for "speeding" on I95: I was approached, greeted, and asked if I had seen the blue lights behind me since I took exit 8 and stopped at a gas...

What can you guys tell me about the Smith 1911's? Are they reliable out of the box? Is the external extractor a big drawback or have they really gotten it right as far functionality? I ask because I was in the local shop today and there was a like new smith 1911 with target (adjustable)...
