I recently picked up a new Kimber Pro (4") Crimson Carry. I'm amazed at the accuracy, but reliability is a problem. At the moment I'm chalking it up to the break-in period. I shot 100 rounds through it the first day out and experienced a couple of feeding problems. A handful of times it...

I had an opinion about Kimber 1911s--too little for too much. I had a friend who owned a Custom II and loved it. I shot it several times and it was good for me, but I insisted on sticking with my BHP or Colt 1991A1. Then I stopped into my usual shop and the owner told me he'd just received...

On my first trip to the range with my P30, I discovered that inserting a magazine with any kind of authority causes the slide to release. It occurred with both loaded and unloaded magazines, but unloaded magazines required much more force to cause the slide to release. An old thread at...

I just picked up a new HK P30, and while it'll take some time to decide if it'll replace my current carry piece, I'm a little worried about holster availability at the moment. Will a holster designed for the P2000 fit the P30? In the end, this will probably be a non-issue because I'll...

Today at the range I had an aluminum cased CCI Blazer round that seemed to hold the slide back out-of-battery. I attempted to load the round again, and it jammed the gun. The slide is slightly back and out-of-battery, and cannot be pulled back to extract the round. It moves only slightly...

A previous thread mentioned that Fobus XD40 holsters will fit the .45 with tension screw adjustments, but I'm looking for something IWB. I've checked around online and can't seem to find anyone listing holsters compatible with the .45. Eventually I'll get around to ordering a VM2 from Milt...

I'd planned on running this old bank account of mine down for spending money until it was empty, but today I checked the balance and discovered a I had quite a lot of money in there. I must've deposited some checks before I started using my other account exclusively. Thus I'm planning on...

Does anyone have any experience with the Taurus single actions? http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?model=S/A-357-S/S&category=Revolver If so, I'm interested in hearing what you have to say about them. I've been looking around for some time and I think the day is coming...

I recently bought an Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine and would like to put a folding stock on it. I've found a few online, but I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations for makes or vendors. Thanks. (Should this be in the Accessories forum? Please move as required.)

For a while now I've been flirting with the idea of a revolver in either .45 Auto or 9x19. I was investigating the choices out there tonight (my tax return arrived) and found the S&W 325PD. http://firearms.smith-wesson.com/store/index.php3?cat=293609&item=865230&sw_activeTab=1 Anyone have...

I was told at my usual gun shop yesterday that the 5.7x28 manufactured by FN in Belgium was no longer legal to import, but that Hornady would be producing a fragmenting round in the caliber at some point. A little googling turned up nothing for me. Anyone else have any news, or is this bogus?

Assuming the XM8 is adopted, do you think a civilian version would be offered? I'm afraid that it wouldn't. HK doesn't seem to market to the general public as much as I wish they would--I'd take a semi-auto G36 any day. Americans have owned the firearms of their military for a long time and...

I'm going to be looking for a top-notch gunsmith to work on a new BHP soon. I've already been directed to www.theactionworks.com and would like to know if anyone else has any other recommendations. My budget for modification is $600. Where would you send it and what would you have done...

I have a thing for Mausers, I guess. I own a Chilean 1895, and today I saw an M48 at my usual shop. At first I assumed it was Czech, but it could very well have been a Yugo piece. Serials didn't match, but I don't care about that since I want a shooter. Barrel was in good shape, action was...

I thought that was very interesting. What might have happened here if armed parents had shown up at Columbine intending to help the police? What would happen if a similar situation occurred in the States tomorrow? Full Text Here (Yahoo!)

My P230/P232 had a problem at the range last week. After the chambered round was fired, the next round would stovepipe. I dropped the mag, pulled back the slide, and let the round fall into the chamber. Then I could replace the mag and fire the remaining rounds without fail. This happened...

A while back there was a nasty barfight in Burlington. A bouncer was attempting to move a couple of tourblemakers outside when one broke a bottle, knocked the bouncer to the ground, and began to cut and stab him. Another patron was carrying (whether or not he was drinking while carrying is...

I was recently given a box of reloads by my usual gun dealer, who apparently couldn't sell them for some reason (liability, maybe?). I don't reload, so I was wondering if someone could take a look at the specs and give me any layman's info. Written on the box is: 9mm Luger 115 Rem JHP...

I'm very interested in the Colt Single Action Army, but I was dismayed to discover how much they cost. :uhoh: Is there any good reason why Colt can charge $1000 plus for these guns while a modern revolver is so much less? Are there less expensive lines offered by Colt that I don't know...
