    Just bought a Walther TPH..

    TPH I carried one as an LEO in the early 1980s (a German-made alloy frame .22, back in the day when only law enforcement could get one). It was expensive back then, around $800. Reliable, in the sense of feeding and ejecting; did not always fire in DA mode with some .22 ammo. I have a S/S...

    Quality of the PTR-91

    Ptr-91 I own both the GI model and several FALs. Love them all. They are different rifles. While the FAL seems to recoil less, due to the gas system, I don't have any problem with the 91's recoil. And neither should you. My GI has been extremely reliable. Some other/earlier models...

    Chute knife options

    Chute knife I have a small collection of that design. It is one of my favorites. Currently have an original Dozier-made Morseth, sold by A.G. Russell in 1993; a new Russell Shopmade copy, a Dozier non-catalog design, a large one made by Bob Dozier's son-in-law Dan Crotts, a Loveless design by...

    Continuing in my project to help a friend with his Swiss-made AT-84S (CZ 75 clone)... Where might I find parts for it ? It looks like he needs a new ejector ?

    Problems with AT-84

    AT-84 problem - more info My friend reports he is able to hand-cycle an entire magazine of ammunition: -feed and chamber -eject and feed another round with no problems noted. The live rounds are completely ejected. Now, I have not actually witnessed this yet. It just gets more...

    Problems with AT-84

    AT-84 problems I assume you miss-typed - the AT-84 is a Swiss made CZ clone. Both the owner and I have attended many armorers course during our careers as LEOs. We just lack experience with this platform.

    Problems with AT-84

    Trying to help a friend with his AT-84. I have not actually seen the malfunctions, so I am relying on his description: - it will chamber a round from the magazine, fire, but only partially extract, and then a double-feed is created. The chamber was polished, the extractor hook is not...

    The CZ Club

    Action Arms AT-84 question(s) This CZ-75 clone was built in Switzerland from TZ parts, to my understanding. Am I correct ? What magazines directly interchange - CZ? EAA ? Thanks.

    Do I NEED a Sig 238 (.380) if I already have this?

    Do I need this ? As I tell my wife, "need" has nothing to do with it !

    Looking for new CCW - Kahr PM40 or CW40?

    CCW question Are you really stuck on the .40 in those guns ? I understand why in terms of simplicity of ammo, but the Kahrs tend to run much better in 9mm than in .40.

    Looking for pistol refinishing,Balto-Metro area

    Refinsh in Maryland ? I don't know of anyone in the state who I would trust to blue a gun - and I've been here for 17 years. Don't be afraid to send it out. Reputable shops can take care of you and your gun.

    The Official Holster cross-compatibilty thread.

    Galco NSA My old horsehide NSA holster for the 5" 1911 also fits my Browning High Power. In fact, Galco's holster fit guide lists the same holster code number for each.

    Miami Vice or Miami faux

    Miami Vice Dorks ? Hey, at least I don't wear Storm Trooper costumes and carry a fake light saber ! All of this is in good fun, and all (mostly all) good comments. :D

    Miami Vice or Miami faux

    Ferrari Skydiver is correct. They didn't get a real Ferrari - the white Testarossa until later. It was confiscated from some bad guy, and was originally black, not white. Sorry to sound like a Miami Vice nerd. :rolleyes:

    Miami Vice or Miami faux

    Miami Vice I was a firearms trainer in South Florida in the 1980's, and had some contact with those folks. The wheelgun Tubbs used was a S&W M49 (or M38) Bodyguard, a shrouded hammer 5-shot J-Frame. Interestingly, Don Johnson's charecter carried a SIG 220 in the first episode, then was...

    How they will take your Guns....

    Confiscation scenario I agree with MaterDei - this is certainly one possibility, and a well-thought out one described. It probably would take some time to execute, in the order of several years. Vote early, and vote often. We may be one of the last relatively free generations. On th...

    Anyone carry just a J-Frame, no speed loaders/strips?

    Carry spare ammo. For my entire career in law enforcement, I carried a BUG, almost always a J-frame. I always carried a speed strip. Yes, it is slow, but is a good way to keep spare rounds organized. Even in a self-defense situation as a citizen, do you really want to have only five shots...
