Unfortunately for myself, every time I want a particular gun in a certain caliber it happens to be the hardest ever to find, (for example, a blued Walther PPK/S in .32, seems to be one if the rarest of all variants). For collection purposes, I'm looking for a brand new Beretta Cheetah in 32...

I think this is the right place for this post... I'm looking for someone who can either make from scratch, or heavily modify sights for a handgun. Specifically, I want to take my ccw Kahr P9 and replace the sights with the trapezoid sights that are only found on the Steyr MA1 and SA1. I don't...

I haven't started reloading yet but have been doing as much research as I can. I shoot revolvers a lot, and want to reload in .357 and .44 Mag but from what I get from Berrysmfg.com, using lead, lead coated, or even plated bullets should not be used in magnum loads, though this is the only site...

I used to own a S&W M&P compact but sold it due to some bill I can't even remember... I was thinking of buying a new fullsize one pretty soon. The problem is, I HATE the look of the accessory rails. same problem on the new Sigs. Does anyone know if a gunsmith would be able to melt, cut, or...

I asked about this same thing some time ago. I'm collecting guns, and in the Glock category the 25 is the one to get simply because it is so hard to come by. I'm intrigued by the possibility of totally American made Glocks making it possible to manufacture domestically and thus easily own one...

I like the steel Kahrs in a novelty type of way. They're the only hammerless/glock-like action pistol I know of that has a steel frame instead of plastic, unless you count the HK P7. Though now that I think about it, it would be kind of cool to have current polymer-only guns offered in metal...

I'm not sure about the question about cerakote or the fiber optic sights... I have seen a few guns that have been finished in cerakote from customizedcreationz and they do a great job. as for fiber optic sights, the Para GI Expert I handled a couple months ago had a fiber optic front sight and I...

I'm talking about the old Remington Rand 1911, manufactured beween 1942 and 1945. I am quite aware that they are valuable historic pistols and i DONT plan on "hacking them up." Most of this thread was for getting ideas on what specific customizations are common. I'm not new to handguns, or...

I recently found out that the Remington Rand exists. I'm mostly interested in handguns and never really thought about Remington, but now that i see they used to make pistols i want a 1911 of theirs. I've never owned a 1911, but i know there are countless customizations to be made to them...

Back when I first read about it, I watched gunbroker like a hawk but none ever came up. I asked some gunshops about it, none of them had ever seen one before. I know that I could own one if a police officer sold one, but can just 1 officer be able to get one or would the department as a whole...

Awhile ago I thought it would be cool to pick up a Glock 25. When I looked them up, I discovered that they can't be imported into the US. But an article I read said that if a police department requests them then they could be imported that way. With the near-total unavailability, I really want...

I'm trying to get a job for an armored car company, and if I want to carry my own gun it has to be DAO, including half charge guns such as the Glock, with no external safeties. I am interested in a 1911 that fits the description, and Para Ordnance makes the LDA. The Tac-Five is listed as DAO. I...

I'm guessing its probably a combination of not-quite-perfect trigger pulling, and flinching as the problem. any idea on how long it would take for the flinching to go away? And if I were to buy a range gun for practicing on this issue, is there a particular model that would be best suited to...

My friend drew what he sees in the snow as his sight picture, its the same. We both use the same ammo, I shoot 2 mags then him. My sight picture is lined up like the manual to the ruger says, with the center of the target just visible above the front sight. Today, I didn't do much with how I...

I've been having trouble shooting since I've got my permit, but only on certain guns. I own a Ruger MK3 and a S&W Model 60, which I fire .38 out of. Both of these guns I am plenty accurate with. But when I shoot a Glock 22, S&W 6906, and Springfield XD45, only half of my bullets hit the paper...

I was watching the show Psych yesterday, and saw a gun I can't identify. Normally its easy to tell as I am pretty familiar with different types of handguns but in the case of Smith and Wesson, all their similar-looking numbered models are hard to tell apart. The episode is called "A Very...

i have been considering buying a shoulder holster for an additional handgun during the winter. i carry a Ruger LCP in a pocket holster all year round, but figure during the winter when i'm wearing a coat all the time it wouldn't hurt to have a larger auto, and i'm not too crazy about waist...

I'm working on getting a nice stainless Walther PPK in .380. I much prefer the low recoil then the higher calibers, but there are many people who say its woefully underpowered. I'm not as concerned about it being underpowered but it would make sense to get the ammo that has the most stopping...

well this is certainly a pleasant surprise to me. i have never owned a 1911 and i think i'll be getting a Colt for my first one. i would imagine they must have plans then for 2011, which should be the 100th anniversary of the 1911 right? So i don't know a whole lot about the 1911's... if i...

WHAT?! I have never, EVER seen a brand new Colt in any shop. Only a few Colts i've seen on Gunbroker just says NIB and i just figured those were leftovers or something. I am absolutely dumbfounded to see this. i've been to the website www.colt.com and it says nothing about pistols, only assault...
