    Bergman 1910/21

    Does anyone have any experience with this gun? I saw one while browsing through a Rock Island Auctions catalog and it just... caught the eye. Apparently they're about 2-3k in decent condition and fire a cartridge nearly identical to 9mm largo. I think this might be the first "collecting" bug...

    Browning Auto 5 help

    Wasn't aware that the solid rib was worth significantly more, besides, I like the Auto 5.

    Browning Auto 5 help

    The barrel that I'm considering cutting down is actually a full rib without any cutouts. I figure between that, running on the magnum setting and dry as a bone, it shouldn't beat itself up. To be safe though, I'm first having it cut at 22" from 28".

    Browning Auto 5 help

    I've heard that a 11-48 extension will work, and I know choate has done several sizes. It just requires a longer spring and removal of the spring clip at the end.

    Browning Auto 5 help

    Everything that I've read on short barreled A5's seems to indicate that they'll run anything but you'll have to give up some of the recoil eating properties of the friction rings (ie, light loads in a short barrel should use the heavy load setup and heavy loads have no recoil soaking) and the...

    Browning Auto 5 help

    Well.. My setup I'm aiming for in 3 gun is a VZ.58, CZP01, and Browning A-5. Definitely not your normal 3gun setup. But then again... I've run normal IDPA with a S&W 642.

    Browning Auto 5 help

    Let me be clear: I don't hunt, I shoot the occasional clay/skeet, and I'm turning this into a shotgun for 3 gun competition/social work. I'm looking at buying a second barrel to cut down (to preserve the original), I'd rather not cough up 500 for a barrel I'm just going to cut down if my gun...

    Browning Auto 5 help

    I've got a browning auto 5 in 12ga with a 28" barrel that I'm wanting to cut to something a little more multipurpose with a 20" barrel. The browning I have has the stippled receiver, lack of half moon disassembly cut and different stock that seems to indicate that this is one of the Remington...

    Is there a quality single stack and thin DA/SA semi-auto out there? Asking about 9mm

    Try a S&W CS9. It's the smallest of the 3rd generation smiths, 7 rounds and super slim, especially if you go over to the S&W forums and find the guy that makes custom slim grips out of 3913 grips.

    What are some of the really good "we are armed" signs?

    I saw one that looked nicely official, had some "pursuant to law code xx.x.xxxxx-x" stuff on it that said that the monitoring security company had legal right to use deadly force if trespass was discovered. I think they lifted the wording from an area 51 base sign though... Still looked pretty...

    Magical powder for 158gr .357 Magnum

    Well.... If you're asking reloading... I would suggest playing around with Vihta Vuori N110 & JHP's. In the right loads, it gives really excellent magnum performance with a minimum of muzzle flash/smoke. Heavy loads burn really really clean. I would suggest following the Lyman or Hornady max...

    NEW Ruger 22/45 Lite

    Nice. Ruger has finally noticed all the aluminum uppers getting sold for MK II/III's and figured out that people like a reasonably priced, light .22 to toss in a backpack for a camping trip in the lower 48.

    S&W M&P's new single stack?

    This looks suspiciously similar in size to a CS9... May have to check it out. Wish it was a DAO though. Partial-cock striker systems are my least favorite system.

    Need photos of Hi-Power or Detective Special

    I think it's the perfect excuse for Dr Rob to "need" to buy a pretty bring back Hi-Power.

    Glock dislikes

    I don't like the way they chew on my hand. Tried a 3rd gen 19.... after a mag and a half, had to stop because of slide bite. Other than that and the funky grip angle, it was nice.

    Taurus .41 Tracker?

    The .41 tracker and the .44 Special Tauruses (Taurii, Taurusi?!?) occupy that perfect niche of power vs. size (especially considering their cult status caliber). I wish S&W and ruger would pay attention. As for the unsolicited reliability issues: I had a 22 LR tracker that had such a poorly...

    Anyone purchased a gun because you read about it from an online forum?

    S&W CS9. Now I just need to find a CS45.

    Pitbull magnum?

    It handles .357 magnum pressures with thicker walls (And I guarantee if you run full load 37k psi .357 loads in a charter, it'll shake loose very quick), the loss of wall thickness is why they won't make it in 10mm. Add in the old norma loadings running around and you'd have a recipe for...

    Have we made the smallest 9mm yet

    How is that relevant? Are we including the single/double shot derringers? Or is this semi-auto only? The single shot "Liberator" 9mm is credit card sized, I doubt you can get anything smaller. If semi-auto, the rohrbaugh R9 is still the smallest as far as I know, but the Boberg probably gets...

    NutNFancy - Sig P250 - "Hall of Fame" Gun

    The pull on the trigger is very nice and light. Too bad the travel distance to reset feels like it should be measured in miles. And it's not exactly a heavily sprung reset either. A properly tuned S&W keeps up with your finger, the Sig can be outrun pretty easily. Nevermind all the issues the...
