I was fortunate enough to run across this old workhorse at my local pawn shop/bank account drainer. It's one of the police trade-in Glocks I've read about so much, a generic Glock 22 gen3 in .40 S&W. With a price tag of $374 I only hesitated long enough to reach for my phone and get wifely...

I just put a Glock 22 gen3 police tradein on layaway at a local pawn & gun. I figured it would be cool to try a .40 (have never owned one), plus I know I can convert it to 9mm down the road if I feel like it. Can't wait to pay off the layaway and try this gun. After reading up on these a bit...

Hey guys. I recently uploaded an in-depth review of my Springfield Armory Loaded 1911 which I've been shooting/carrying for some time, and wanted your thoughts and feedback on it. https://youtu.be/C4_bpyL8--8 The gist for those not able to watch the whole thing: Springfield Loaded 1911...

I've been half-seriously looking at getting another 1911 lately to accompany my Springfield Loaded. This time I wanted a more plain jane GI type pistol. I've been looking into RIA, Tisas, Auto-Ordnance, etc. I was planning on ordering online. I wanted to keep it around $450. On a whim I stopped...

Hopefully this is the correct forum for this post, as Perfecta seems to make auto-only ammo from what I've seen. I have fired 149 rounds of Perfecta 115gr 9mm out of my new Beretta 92G. For comparison, in this pistol I have also fired 100 rounds of Tula steel case, 15 rounds of Rem 115gr JHP...

Hello, all. I'm trying to decide on my next "just one more" handgun, and have it narrowed down to two choices. I want something optimized for home defense, but I'll probably be carrying it on occasion too. Competition use is a possibility. At a minimum, I want a reliable full size 9mm with above...

I decided I'm not too satisfied with the ambi safety that came on my new SA 1911. At least once it's turned itself off without my knowledge during carry (probably bumped it on something) and it just seems generally more trouble then it's worth. I experimented and found I could simply remove...

Hello, all. I've owned a few 1911s in the past, but they've all been the basic GI style. Three I owned weren't very reliable (Para USA GI Expert, a High Standard-branded Armscor, and a Rock Island GI), and two more (both Springfields) were quite dependable but I stupidly let them go in favor of...

Hello, all. In your personal experience, what brand of 10-round magazine has functioned most reliably in your single-stack .45 1911? Please specify brand and model of 1911. Thanks

I currently have a Glock 26 and a Ruger LCR .38 for primary and backup carry guns, but in the near future want to pick up something to use as a main home defense pistol that has greater power/capacity/sight radius. I figure since concealability isn't a requirement on a dedicated house gun, that...

I can't find a clear answer to this question even after browsing several websites with GA laws. I know that as a Florida resident with my FL carry license I can carry concealed in georgia because we're reciprocal, and I've read that open carry is legal for those with a GA weapons carry permit...

Apologies if this has been addressed before. I couldn't find it in a search. For ar15 tech experts: Any negative effects from storing an ar15 "cocked and locked"? IE round chambered, hammer back, safety on? I'm talking long term, like in a rifle kept for HD. Thanks

I have a Colt 6920 that until recently had a Bushnell TRS-25 on it. It also has a Magpul MBUS rear sight. While practicing a bit with the TRS red dot I realized I have a lot of trouble using the optic properly with both eyes open. I mostly just get double vision. Long story short, I think...

Hi, guys. I've owned three 1911s before, Springfield, Para, and Armscor, all 5" guns in .45 ACP. Ended up getting rid of them for various reasons. The 1911 bug has been biting again recently though, as I do really love the platform. Great feel, great trigger, nostalgia, etc. This time, I'm...

Hi, fellas. This is a followup to a recent post I made about my new home-built AR. To recap, it's a Del-Ton 16" midlength complete upper with CMMG stripped lower, Palmetto LPK, and UTG milspec stock. Rear sight is Magpul MBUS. After I completed the build, I disassembled the bolt carrier...

Hi, all. I finally decided to take the plunge and do an AR build project. I haven't owned an AR for a while and I missed 'em, so I chose to reacquire one this way. I really like the full size A2 style rifles, but the theme for this build is "practical/versatile", so I went with a 16" barrel and...

Hello all. Found this 10-5 at a local pawn shop today, marked $194. I elected to snatch it up. No box or paperwork, and the blueing ain't perfect, but seems to function great. The trigger is slick as butter, and the shiny wood grips look and feel awesome. The bore gleams like it's brand new. I...

For 1911Tuner and perhaps others with an insight... I have an Armscor-built GI-type 1911 with a "High Standard" rollmark. I bought it used, but it seems to be bone-stock. It came with one Shooting Star mag of unknown age. This pistol functioned great the first couple of times I used it, but...

I have some Golden Bear .30-06. It's 145 gr, 2445 fps, brass-jacketed steel case. For the gurus: Will this stuff hurt my Garand if fired extensively? I read that most commercial ammo is bad because of higher pressures caused by slow-burning powders, but looking at the specs this ammo doesn't...

I finally got my new to me 1911 out to the range to try out. I traded an old Glock for it... it's got a High Standard rollmark but is marked "APINTL Phillipines - Pahrump, NV" and so was made in the Armscor factory alongside the Rock Island guns. Mfr was sometime in '07. Finish on all raised...
