    Colt 1851 Navy Barrel Stuck

    Well I finally got the barrel free of the frame. I ended up doing something very similar to what ApacheCoTodd described, but I ended up having to put pretty much my whole body weight on it to get it to come loose. Thanks for all the help everyone.

    Colt 1851 Navy Barrel Stuck

    Right at this moment I think that it is the arbor binding things, but I guess that I won't know for sure until I can get it loose. I am looking to find some padded jaws for my vise as well as a wooden or plastic dowel or two.

    Colt 1851 Navy Barrel Stuck

    I have a brand new in the box, never been fired Uberti 1851 Colt Navy London model. It is a beautiful gun and feels wonderful in my hand, but I cannot remove the barrel to prepare it for firing. This is a gun that I recently purchased from Midway USA. I can remove the wedge without any...

    Funky pistol designs, part XIV: The Browning BDM

    I am keeping mine as well. I love the look, feel and action of the BDM. It is also the best shooting 9mm I own. In fact, if I can find another one at the right price I am going to own two of them.

    Do you like "loaded chamber indicators" on your pistols?

    I like them, especially the tactile feel type. In a stressful situation I don't want to take my eyes off of the target so I would like to be able to confirm the weapons state of readiness with my fingers.

    My new FNP-40

    I have been using a product called Corrosion-X as my single gun cleaning, lubricating and preserving product for about 10 years now. It works great and I love it. I using it on everything metal and have never had a problem with it. Plus, I have never had a bit of rust on anything that I use...

    Powder for multiple pistol calibers?

    I have been reloading for over 30 years and I wish we had the selection of powders we do now back when I was getting started. It is really remarkable what they have come up with. However, to answer your question, if I were going to restrict myself to a single pistol powder it would be one...

    Taurus 24/7 Grips Wear???

    I have a 24/7 in 9mm with the rubber grips and I love them! I have only had the gun for about 18 months and only fired about 2000 rounds through it, but so far the grips are as good as new.

    More reliable--1911 or Browning Hi Power

    I own a couple of 1911s and one Browning High Power. They are all 100% reliable if you feed them good ammo and don't limp wrist it when firing. When my Colt MK IV Series 70 was young it used to experience a failure to feed now and again, but that went away after the first 200 rounds or so. I...

    Choosing a 1911 from the ocean of options...

    Take a look at Taurus I own a Colt MK IV Series 70 government model as well as a homebuilt 1911 I put together myself from an Essex frame and slide and I am seriously considering getting the Taurus PT-1911 for my third 1911. It seems like a very fine gun. I own a Taurus PT-24/7 and it has...

    Funky pistol designs, part XIV: The Browning BDM

    I have had my BDM for a number of years. I bought the gun used from a friend for less than $100. It had a couple of broken parts and would not shoot, but the finish was in good shape so I took a chance. I let a local gunsmith play with it for a couple of months, but he was unable to fix it...

    Question for S&W Know alls.

    Your "Old Gramps" is worn out and unsafe to shoot or to even hold it for that matter. You had best send it to me and I will see that it is properly disposed of. ;) But seriously as has already been stated it is probably just dirty or has a worn hand. The first is easy to check and to...

    small 380/9mm ccw pistol

    Kel-Tec P3AT for me. The Kel-Tec P3AT is an excellent little gun that is easy to carry, easy to hide and is powerful enough to get the job done if you do your part. I have carried one for serveral years and practice with it regularly. I have yet to experience any failures of any kind. I know...
