    Wilkinson Sherry / FTL Auto Nine Comments?

    Was lucky a few years ago when the extractor popped out and lost the little pin that goes behind it..Northwest Firearms,I think it was, had some new and old parts from last maker available..Believe they were even putting together a few Sherry's for sale.. Seems that the web site is not there...

    38 and 38 Super

    One of the many things that I like about the 38 super is there are less feed problems with the long case..The 1911 was built for the longer case,not that you can't get 9mm's to feed but it can be rather trying..Actully all my reloads are on the mild side these days,just accurate and pleasant to...

    Thoughts on double stack M1911s?

    My two cents worth.. Shoot mostly single stack 1911's but own Browning's,S&W's and CZ's that are all double stacks..All are range guns and for some reason,maybe force of habit from the olds days of bullseye hooting,find that I load only five rounds at a time no matter what the mag takes..Been...

    38 and 38 Super

    It is not unheard of to use 356 and 357 bullets the super,especially if lead bullets are being used..It depends a lot on how tight the chamber is in your barrel..Too tight chamber and the larger bullets might not feed,fit..I have used 125gr JSP's that I bought for the 357mag in both 9mm and the...

    Docter Sight -- Can't find info

    The Docter mounts and the JPoint/Optima are quite different in size..The mounting pegs are different distances with the Docter a bit longer than the JPoint.. It seem that this style dot sight is the rage this year with quite a few new ones.. The Burris looks interesting,will check it out I...

    Docter Sight -- Can't find info

    BSlacker I am wondering how you used a Docter mount with the JPoint sight ?? As I have both and the mounts are similar but different in length .. I really like the Docter sight but it has gotten rather pricey..Burris is supposed to have a similar style sight,on their web site,that is made of...

    What are your favorite inexpensive handguns

    Why has no one mentioned the S&W Sigma ?? I realise the older guns had problems but the current models are wonderfull.. The SW9VE that I own has been and is a great preformer since day one.. Trigger is,or was,a bit hard and long but has smoothed out considerable with use and a bit of...

    T/C Contender not Mass. compliant

    Yes we can thank the A G for his rules on safe guns to protect the children of this state..One of the great things about what can be sold here is that there are two lists.one with guns that have been tested,big money to do this,and one that is of guns that can be sold here..a gun on list 2 must...

    Looking for good, but very cheap handgun

    How about something a bit bigger and a little more expensive ?? I believe a SW9VE,Sigma,is a great gun and only about $300 out the door..That is a new gun with a lifetime warranty..The trigger might be a bit stiff to begin with but with use gets better..Also there is nothing cheaper to...

    fiber optic front sight

    I need a fiber optic front sight for my SW9VE..Supposedly no one makes one for this pistol.. Well the Glock seems to appear to be very much like the sigma's and I wonder if there might be some interchange here.. These old eyes need help..

    Colt 380s

    There was a rumor a while ago that Colt would bring back the 380 family.. I don't think I will hold my breath till I see one..And if they do bring them back they won't be able to be sold here in Mass...So the Pony and Mustang that live at my house will stay here forever..

    Qiuck help needed - CZ front sight roll pin question

    Gary where did you get your front sight for the CZ ?? I tried to get one from the sight guy in Conn. and all he would do was a set,rear and front..Have a set of adj. sights for my 75b and wanted to see if the F.O.front would help.. At the moment have optics on everything,damn these old eyes..

    THR vs TFL

    My only complaint is that there is not enough time to visit each and every forum every day..That said I must admit that I have learned an awful lot fron the various forums and can't pick a favorite..They are all my favorites.. May they each and every one prosper and continue to educate and...

    The Future--Sighting Systems for Handguns?

    I would think that with some carefull looking a holster that didn't cover the rear sight could be found..Seems that most high ride jobs would have more than enough clearence for the sight..As far as mounting the sight on a carry gun the best way would be to have the slide milled for a real low...

    The Future--Sighting Systems for Handguns?

    I recall seeing a small,1/2in square by maybe an 1in and a half long,red dot sight on a glock..As this was about ten years ago the details are rather fuzzy..I believed it was glued on the slide and was always on..Wasn't very impressed so I didn't look into it.. Must say that all my sport...

    1911 22 conversions...which one?

    I have a Ciener kit and it works quite well..Must admit that it took a bit of effort to get there but it was worth it.. Important thing was that too much tension on the disconector by the sear spring will cause the slide to not make a complete cycle and the hammer is not being held by the sear...
