    Are 40 cal's all marketing?

    I have a glock 19 and 1911 .45; I have looked at the ballistics of the .40 and wonder if a 147 gr. JHP 9mm isn't extremely close to a .40 cal? Sort of like computers and the market being saturated with windows XP so now they have to come out with windows 7 to increase sales... No offense to...

    I have a Bersa 9mm Thunder 9 with a 4" barrel; I have 124 gr JHP Hydra shoks and 147 gr hydra shocks JHP and also some 93 gr solid copper hollow points. What would be best for my night stand gun? Also Will the 147 gr. damage the polygonal rifling on the gun? Thanks

    Taurus .357 HG-M669-VB4

    I just found out that my Taurus .357 vent ribed revolver is model: HG-M669-VB4. Is this a K frame or L frame and can it handle the hot 125 gr. ammo? Some of the articles said it is part of the American Classic series? Is this a variation of the model 66? Thanks

    K frame .357 and 142 gr rounds

    I have heard that 125 gr rounds are too hot for a K frame Taurus model 66 revolver; are 142 gr rounds too hot as well? Someone told me they will crack the forcing cone... I seldom shoot .357 except if I take a customer to the range and he wants to feel the "kick" of a .357, then we will shoot...

    Does anyone know much about this ammo: 9mm Magtech 93gr. First Defense Solid Copper HP Ammo? I read the fps is 1,330 and about 364lbs. of energy. Will a light bullet like this over penetrate or will it expand or fragment on impact? What would be the best SD ammo for a 9mm that is available...

    kel-tec pa3t and +P ammo

    I am upset and wrote Kel tec for a refund on some ammo I purchased. I bought some Buffalo Bore .380 +P JHP because the Kel Tec manual says that you can shoot +P ammo but not continuously. Well to the prudent man this says that the gun is rated for +P but not for every single shot. So to double...

    Naa .22 lr

    I bought my wife a cute little folding 22 mini revolver; I have CCI Stingers in it and bought a box of Aguelria (whatever) that travels at 1750 fps. Would she be better off with the hot ammo or regular CCI Mini Mags? My thoughts are the muzzle fire from the hot rounds at night would freak out...

    FEG PA-63 question

    I bought a new PA 63 for CCW, shoots great, put the 11lb hammer spring on it but and 13 lb recoil spring. I had one problem after the spring change in that one of the shells got caught while ejecting, also it spit the shells a lot further. I didn't notice much change in the recoil so I put the...

    changing the hammer spring

    I have a Taurus .357 Model 66 K frame; if I want an easier trigger pull on the DA, can I simply change the hammer spring like I would on a Semi-Auto? Will this lighter spring effect the hammer from hitting the shell? Thanks, John

    keyholing

    I have a case of Brown Bear ammo that is keyholing, I know it is the ammo because I shoot other ammo and it shoots fine. Will this damage my gun if I shoot a couple thousand rounds of the stuff thru a CZ 82 polygonal rifled barrel?

    rust in my barrel

    I was just cleaning my Taurus .357 after shooting it today and noticed an orange rust color in the grooves of the rifling. I scrubbed it with a bore brush and Break Free, and then wipped it out with several patches. I keep this gun spotless and always clean it before I put it away. I live in AZ...

    Keyholing from ammo

    I have a CZ 82 and the last 5 boxes of brown bear ammo are keyholing; I just shot 3 boxes of silver bear hollow points and they did fine so I know it is an ammo issue. Will this hurt the barrell of my gun? If I shoot the remaining brown bear ammo? Heck I have 4,000 rounds left.

    CZ 82 - beat up grips and all...

    Most of us CZ 82 owners purchased our guns that shot excelllent but looked like heck. Black GunKote does wonders on the finish and I just found out that if you take the grips and either spray of give them a coat of polyurathane; they will look 200% better. The polyurathane fills in and hides the...

    New night sights on CZ 82

    I just ordered some CZ 75/85/83 night sights (front) from CZ USA. they look great and glow in the dark. I had to sand it a bit to fit in the slot and then once in place drill through the existing pin hole in the slider. They are a good fit with very little work and the visibility is fantastic...
