    SA Professional model

    I have been really jonesing for a Professional model from Springfield Armory. They are making them in 9mm now as well as 45, railed or clean. I probably won’t carry it, but plan to shoot the snot out of it and keep it next to the bed. I’m likely to go with the rail for a light. What do you...

    I shot it loose, now what

    Gents, I have a SA lightweight professional operator. Long name but it's a great gun. My problem is I have shot it loose, slide to frame movement. (God knows how many rounds) Aluminum frame, steel slide. Still shoots but you can actually feel it in recoil. Groups are opened up enough to notice...

    Weird ammo question

    This is probably a dumb question but... Federal HST is no doubt good carry ammo. And I do carry it in .45 and 9mm (gold dot in .38) But I was ordering from TDS tactical as I have before and I notice Federal HST 1,2,3,&4. Same size boxes, prices What is the difference?

    44 mag for carry, 3" or 4"

    44 magnum n frame for carry gun. What is your opinion on barrel length, 3 or 4 inch? I have a model 29 that has the sweetest action I have seen in a long time. But it's 6 1/2 inch is not good for carry. I want to cut it down so it isn't just a range queen. What do you think?

    Adventures with a Lee Loader

    So, I shoot a lot of handguns and use a couple of Dillon machines for them. 223 is not a high volume caliber for me but I wanted to try a Lee Loader rather than spend more for a Dillon set of dies. Anyway. I got my 52 Grn Hornady BTHP N-135 and a buffalo horn bowl for dipping Clean used...

    Remington R51

    I was looking at this gun in Guns and Ammo today and can't help but think, Fixed barrel Recoil spring around the barrel Safety on backstrap It reminds me of an HK squeeze cocker but with a safety on the blackstrap instead of a cocking lever on the front. (But it is a lot cheaper than a P7)...

    Maybe a dumb question, but I has always bugged me

    We don't have a gun registry We don't register our guns When we buy a gun the record is "destroyed" in 30 days The 7743 is only kept by the dealer and only released to police and ATF So where are all these maps and list coming from? I understand that ccw licenses are public but the maps...

    Polish the drag line

    I have seen gunsmiths that polish a stripe around the drag line of a revolver cylinder, Grant Cunningham for one. Does this do any good? If it does how is it done?
