    AR-15 Bolt Cleaning

    I am starting to move away from AR-15s due to them being a little picky. The new gas system ARs look like a big step in the right direction.

    Stoeger Condor outback.

    My brother has had a Condor for a few years and shot trap and skeet with it. It has held up just fine so far. I don't see any issues with it. I checked out a Coach gun from Stoeger at Dick's and an Outback at GM. I thought I wanted the SXS but there is something about the Outback that is...

    The Best Gun shops in Indiana.

    My vote goes to Tomlinson's as well. I have been there many times and they are polite and have a good selection of handguns. I stop in there about once a month and more often than not, buy a gun from them. They always have at least one good deal that I can't pass up. H&H is a joke. I...

    Jennings J-22 Question

    I had one just like the OPs. Mine had those pearl grips and chome body. Mine was never reliable but I shot it a LOT. I probably put 2-3K rds through it before it started to become unsafe. It started to double and triple fire on my. It was starting to go full auto. I assume the sear was...

    CZ 52 A good truck gun?

    I am a big fan of the CZ-52. It will penetrat like a house on fire. Would I carry one for serious use? NO WAY. They are simply not reliable enough. I have had three and all had problems. Some had mag problems, some had slide stop issues that made it a single shot, some had decocker...

    Okay, I will confess a horrible sin in the hopes ...

    I put a load of 12ga buckshot through my roof once. I had unloaded the gun and was messing around with it including dry firing it. I loaded it and put it away. I decided to grab it again and play with it and shot the roof. I had forgot that I loaded it again. This happned when I was...

    astra a-75 .40 cal a good buy?

    I am not as big of a fan of Astra as some of the the other Spanish guns but they are all good. Spanish guns are underrated. For $269, you can't go wrong.

    Sig. 226 9mm vs. Beretta 92FS 9mm?

    If they are the same cost, get whatever you want. If you have to pay extra for the SIG, it is not worth it. I think the Beretta is a better design in a lot of ways. It is more reliable for sure. I have a Beretta 92fs and a Beretta 92G. I sold my SIG 226 because it didn't do anything for...

    Hi Power

    I have owned more 9mm pistols than any other caliber. I have had three BHPs. To tell the truth, I think they are overrated. I lusted after my first one so I bought it. I was a little dissapointed. I ended up selling it. I regreted it so I got another one (a Agrentine Detective) it was...

    CZ P-07 DUTY: Early Reports Are IN!

    The bottom one isn't too bad but the top two are UGLY!

    Father in law bought a High Point and...

    A Hi-Point is a cheap gun. It may work but that doesn't change the fact that it is a very cheaply made pistol. It is what it is. For $150, you can buy a CZ-82. I once saw a beater S&W 908 for $175 at a gunshow. I should have bought it but I let it go. A Hi_Point may work but that is...

    Newbie - First 9mm RECOMMENDATIONS??

    The SIG P-6 (AKA 225) is a great gun. I bought one and then slowly noticed that it really didn't fit my hand. I don't have a huge hand, it was just a little small. My wife loves it so it is her's now. My advice is to try the P-6 before you buy. I know it will be hard to tell if it fits or...

    Durability: ruger vs. s&w

    I have shot both for almost 20 years now. I have never owned a Ruger with any sort of timing problem or other problem from wearing out. I have owned several Smiths that got out of time and had other problems from being shot too much. People like to say that if treated well a Smith is just...

    Got my Kahr K9 out of layaway!

    My first Kahr was a E-9. It was two tone as well. I can't remember if the slide or the frame was blued. Great gun. Later I bought three more 9mm Kahrs. My P-9 was junk but the other two K-9s I bought have been great. Nothing ever fit my hand as well as a K-9.

    Which duty weapon? Vote

    Glock will not be as heavy which is nice. When I switched from a Beretta 92fs to a Glock 17, it was so nice on my hip and back.

    Jennings J-22

    I had one. It started out okay but slowly started to jam more often. I actually shot it quite a bit. The sear started to wear and it would shoot 2 or 3 shots off at the same time. Kind of fun but very dangerous and illegal in fact. It eventually broke and I took it apart to fix it. I...

    Which .22lr Plinker

    The Ruger is the best bang for the buck but not always the most fun. I enjoy shooting my S&W 422 more for some reason. maybe because it is a lot lighter in weight compared to my 5.5" bull bbl MKII. If you don't need the match grade accuracy of the outstanding MKII, try a light weight...

    latest knife

    Is this called a Roachbelly knife? I have a Cold Steel Roachbelly on the way and it looks very similar. I love full flat ground blades and files make decent knives. There is a company called Anza that makes knives out of files. None look as good as your knife BTW. Nice work. I am a...

    Is a "Chinese Star" really a weapon?

    In the state I live (Indiana) I can own a sawed off shotgun, silencer, or machine gun but not a throwing star. I can own and carry a sword, battle axe or spear but not a switchblade. I just carry a gun like a snub nose S&W and a Spyderco of some sort. If I could only have a throwing...

    Explain the different recoil systems, i.e., locked breach, cam, etc.

    So there is locked breech, blowback and gas operated. Most of what I asked about seemed to be some form of locked breech. Now that I think of it, I am most familiar with cam locked gun like on my Kahr K-9. I do have a 1911 with the swinging link. I also have a Walther P-38. What...
