    Full length dust covers, do they improve accuacy?

    Many guns have both short dustcover and full length dust cover models available. The 1911 and CZ 75 vs SP-01, tanfolgio stock II vs limited pro come to mind. I know the full length dustcovers put weight at the nose of the gun and help with recoil reduction at the cost of a heavier gun...

    Does any military use a single action pistol for general issue?

    I am not talking about special units that use a 1911 or whatever. I am talking about general issue pistols that get issued to a wide variety of troops, like the M9 (berretta 92fs) is in the US military.

    Why do people say Glocks and other striker fired pistols are not Single Action?

    In order for the trigger to reset the slide has to "cock" or reset the striker. How is this any different then a single action BHP or 1911 with the exception that they have external hammers? A true double action semi auto does not need the slide to cock the hammer, if you dry fire a...

    Firing pin block safeties, necessary or not?

    Various manufactures make guns with and without firing pin safeties for 1911's, CZ's, BHP's, etc. They prevent the gun from firing if dropped hard at the right angle, but it generally thought that they decrease the quality of the trigger pull and they were not even around until the 1970's...

    Putting the CZ kadet kit on different pistols.

    Does it change zeros? For instance if I zeroed the adjustable sights on the kadet on my CZ 75b SA frame and then put it on my SP-01 frame, will it change the kadet kit's point of impact on the SP-01 frame vs the 75b frame? I am guessing not since the sights are on the slide. Thanks

    Handgun calibers, expanding bullets

    As I have learned more about firearms I have pretty much accepted the Fackler / FBI data that suggest a defensive round should penetrate at least 12 inches but not more then 18 inches of balistics gelatin and be as big as caliber as possible to facilitate blood loss. I believe Fackler also...

    870 weapons lights.

    I want to put a weapons light on my 870, what would be the best bang for the buck in light and mounting hardware? The surefires are supposedly the best but they cost more then I got in the gun. Any other suggestions? *edit* I also want something that can be easily turned on and off.
