Does anyone have any experience with the Champion Safes offered by Cabelas? Quality? Value?

Every now and then, when I rack the slide back on my FNP-9, the safety lever catches my hand. The point of it (facing the muzzle) is quite sharp and is going to take a chunk out of my hand one of these days. Anyone else having this problem?

Has anyone drifted their FNP sights? My FNP-9 is shooting great groups, but they are all left of center. I would consider this a technique problem, but I do not shoot left of center with my other handguns. So I am considering drifting the rear sight, but I have never done this before...

I'm new to revolvers and was hoping that there was already some sort of a "Revolvers for Dummies" thread. Revolvers seem much simpler than any firearm I already own, but sometimes perceived simplicity gets you into trouble. It would be great if experienced users could post a list of things...

I recently purchased a Taurus 85, but I am a total noobie to the world of revolvers. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to engage the transfer bar safety. How do I safely de-cock this weapon? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Forgive me if this is a silly question, as I know nothing about night sights, but what is the point of only having 1 tritium night sight (on the front post) on the S&W Night Guard series? I would think that the illuminated front post would help you in some low light situations, but wouldn't...

I'm looking to get a Sadlak or an SEI scope mount for my Springfield M1A, but I am concerned that they are too short (at least the standard sizes). I plan to get a scope with a variable magnification of up to 20x or 24x. All the photos I see of these mounts show the scopes placed as far...

I've been using Pure Tung Oil to finish a new Springfield Armory M1A walnut stock, which I though looked pretty unremarkable out of the box. A few coats into the job, I can tell the Tung Oil is making an improvement, but I might want to shine it up just a bit. The Pure Tung Oil is fairly...

So I recently picked up a new Springfield Standard M1A. The Springfield manual says that only military manufactured 7.62 ammunition should be used, and that "civilian" (which I'm interpreting as "commercial") ammo should be avoided due to sensitive commercial primers and the resulting risk of...

I've been breaking in my Glock 26 and am noticing a lot of carbon buildup on the front of the polymer frame, just below the muzzle. Obviously don't want to use oil to clean it off. Are you guys using anything other than a dry cloth?

I'm looking for a holster for a Walter P22. Doesn't seem like there are many options out there. Ideally I'l like a nylon IWB, but I'd really just like to get some different options. If anyone has a P22 holster that they are happy with, I'd appreciate you letting me know. Thanks

I've read that the zinc slide of the Walter P22 necessitates the use of a Dry Lubricant when cleaning and lubricating. Can anyone confirm this? Is there any other special cleaning advice? Thanks

I'm looking to put a high capacity magazine (15 or 17 round) in a G26. As part of that, I would like to get a grip extension to go on the bottom of that magazine. Can I get some recommendations both on a good grip extension brand and also a good place online to buy factory Glock products...

I don't wear contacts, so the glasses I shoot with have prescription lenses. I just shoot with my prescription sunglasses, but I would like to get some dedicated prescription shooting glasses. I'm not having much luck finding shooting glasses with prescription lenses, and would really...

I'm interested in purchasing a DSA SA58 (.308 cal), but not sure which barrel length to go with. My first thought is to go with the more compact 11" or 13" barrel, but I'm looking for an excuse not to have to deal with the NFA registration and just go with the 16.25". Anyone have any...

I have heard from some people and places (such as ar15.com Ammo FAQs) that you shouldn't shoot (I'm assuming for accuracy purposes) less than 45 grain bullets out of a 1/9 twist barrel. I would like to try out some 36 grain Black Hills Varmint Grenades. Has anyone shot this with a 1/9 twist...

I have a Rock River M4 flattop and am looking to purchase some optics for it. Originally I was looking to put a non-magnified EOTech sight on it, but after trying to accurately hit small targets at 100 yards with my current ghost ring iron sights, I now feel that I need some magnification...
