Hello all, I was browsing at the local Gander Mountain last night, and a Model 36 actually jumped out of the display case and followed me home! Strange, I know. Actually, my wife was kind enough to OK the purchase of this little beauty. Here's where it gets strange. According to my...

Hey all, Although I've been a dyed-in-the-wool 870 fan for some time now, I just heard a new siren's song today while at the local gun shop on my lunch break. I came home with a lovely old 37 for next to nothing. Oh, ok, fine, I'll tell you, it was $100. It's a 12ga, modified choke. I'm...

Hey all, I recently acquired a CZ-75 retro, and I'm in love with it. Talk about an all-around nice pistol. In any case, I'm in need of a holster for it. I'm having trouble locating anyone who makes a leather holster for the Retro model (which has the rounded trigger guard). I'm looking...

Hey all, Well, I found myself once again up at ADCO in Sylvania, OH, dropping off an AR upper for my buddy yesterday. I *almost* hate going in there, since every time I do, I wind up spending like $500, and Steve, the owner, knows it. Well, I walk in, drop off the upper, and wind up...

Hey all, I recently picked up a S&W model 60-14 for a song at the local Gander Mountain. Used gun, but in BEAUTIFUL shape. It's going to be my new pocket gun. That all being said, that Ladysmith script on the side has to go. NOTICE: I AM NOT HOMOPHOBIC, or anything like that. I'd leave...

Hi all, I was debating ordering a Galco Miami Classic shoulder rig for my 1911, since I have them for other carry pistols, and really like them. I was just perusing the Galco website, and they mention that all 1911 holsters with retention straps are designed for hammer-down carry. Does...

Hey all, I just purchased a new 1911, and I'm debating dressing it up a little. I've bought Hakan's grips for 1911s in the past, so I thought I'd shoot him an email asking for a price quote. It's been a few days back, and I still haven't heard from him. I browsed around on various forums...

Hey folks, I recently purchased a Polish P64 from SOG. It's a nice little gun, now that I replaced the hammer spring with a 16lb Walther PP spring. I can actually fire it double action without using both hands now. Anyway, I detail stripped the gun last night so I could refinish the...

Hey everyone, I recently acquired a lightly used Glock 19. I've had it to the range, and I really enjoy shooting it (although let's face it, it ain't a 1911...). I've noticed something odd, though. The gun came with two 10 round mags, and one 15 rounder. If the mags are fully loaded, and...

Ok, here's how it is. I've got a lovely pair of Model 66's; a 2.5" 66-2, and a 4" 66-1. I shoot the heck out of both of them, but when doing faster shooting, I seem to perform much better with the smooth trigger that my 2.5" has, rather than the grooved trigger on the 4". Now I've looked...

Well, I just got back this morning from the CMP north store with my new M1 Garand. For those of you who haven't visited the North Store, do it. It's a great place with great people, and all those '03s and M1s lined up just call out your name. That being said, I'm now in the process of...

Well, after a couple years of wanting, I finally have everything in order to buy from the CMP. Since I only live 45 minutes away, this Saturday morning will be spent comparing Danish Rack Grade Springfields, and trying to figure out which one will be following me home. It's going to be a...

Hey all, I'm fairly new to reloading. I recently took the plunge and started reloading .44 for my S&W 629. I found a load that I really have a lot of luck with for plinking (9.0 grains of Unique behind a 180 gr JHP) with the .44, but now I want to start reloading .38 Spl for my Model 66's...

I'm going nuts here, folks. Two years ago I couldn't go to a single gunshop without seeing three or four 2.5" Model 66's for about $300 each. I passed on all of them, and continued to carry my 3913. Now after my first year of carrying, I have come to the conclusion that I am much more...

Ok folks, here's the dilemma. After a couple deer seasons spent dragging my 870 through the woods, I've decided that I want to hunt with a handgun from now on. I went out and purchased a lovely S&W 629 with a 6 inch barrel. It had a scope mount on it, but I promptly placed iron sights back...

So I tried dating this S&W 29-6, but I am apparently "not its type." Ok, now that the played-out joke is over... My Standard Catalogue of Smith and Wesson should ship today, but my friend needs to know (right stinkin' now, of course) when his 29 Classic (29-6) was built. Can someone with...

Hey all, I just picked up a used 629-4 with the 6" barrel for a song. Here's the hitch: the rear sight is missing and some god-awful scope mount is in it's place. Ok, the scope mount is off, but now I have to acquire a new rear sight. I can order one from Brownells at a nice price with my...

Hey all, My boss has a pair of absolutely beautiful Beretta Silver Pigeons, one in 12 and one in 20. He's had them for quite a while, and mainly just used them for trap guns, during which he'd only use the top barrels. Tonight at work he came and told me that he was patterning the guns and...

Ok, so here's the scoop. I'm trying to swap my mil-spec hammer for a commander style. I need to drive out the hammer strut pin so I can swap the strut over to the new hammer. WHAT IS WITH THIS PIN?!? Try as I might, I can't seem to get it out. Is there some super-secret trick to this...

So I looked on Midway and Brownells for some Wilson 8 round 1911 mags, but they're both sold out. Anyone know where I can order a couple of these puppies at a fair price? Thanks! -Parke1
