    single-trigger SXS--second shot doesn't always fire

    Hello again, I have an old (1930s, based on serial number) 12ga western arms (ithaca) "long range" single-trigger side-by-side shotgun that has a funny habit of not discharging the second shot consistently. The first shot always goes off, but about half the time, the second trigger pull is a...

    slide very difficult to rack after firing

    sight picture for handgun?

    I'm planning on filing down the front sight on my RIA tactical, which is shooting low even with a center-of-mass sight picture (let alone a 6-o'clock sight picture). As I venture forth, should I be sighting with center-of-mass or with the 6-o'clock hold? I have read several articles and threads...

    CZ 452 versus CZ 452 E

    I was in the local gun shop and asked to see a CZ 452. They didn't have CZ 452 in stock, but they DID have what was labeled on the store tag as the CZ 452 E. It had a European-style stock, and I think it was beechwood. What's the difference between the CZ 452 and the CZ 452 E? Is the CZ 452 E...

    RIA tactical JHP OAL

    I'm a newbie to reloading, and I'm getting ready to reload .45 ACP for my RIA tactical. My question is the following: generally, around what OALs allow JHP to feed reliably in a RIA tactical? There's very little information online about others' experiences specifically with the tactical. I have...

    question about 1911 RIA Tactical

    Posted this in another gun forum, but didn't get any replies. Some mention how the RIA tactical has a differently-shaped full-length guide rod that makes field stripping different than for other 1911s with full-length guide rods (for one, see http://www.m1911.org/ezine/RIATactical.htm). For a...
