    Have we made progress?? Are we safer?

    I consider myself lucky. I grew up in the age when the veterans of World Wars were still here, when you could own a shotgun, or rifle, without a licence. That was a time when you could buy some .22lr, or .410 from the corner shop in rural Australia. I rode my unregistered motorbike through...

    The beretta m9 slide failure fiasco

    Ok im sure we've all heard about this one. "Your not a seal until youv eaten italian steel", the whole situation with beretta and their m9 slides failing at the junction causing part of the slide to break off and bust the shooter in the face. I know there were 14 incidents, 3 of 14 were in the...

    Gun shop and range idiocy

    Let me have 'em folks, stories of the dumbest individuals you have ever seen at a range or gun shop. My examples include out of state individuals going shooting with relatives. 40 YO woman has a Heritage Arms .22 SA and empties the cylinder into a paper target. After emptying the gun and...

    Sellier & Bellot Large Rifle Primer for .308 Win Update

    NOTE: This is just for information and in no way is it a suggestion for use. Communication with Sellier & Bellot has been slow due to Holidays and vacations this time of year. A few weeks back I supplied S&B with details of my load data, measurements and photos. Their conclusion, if I were...

    Daewoo DP51/Lionheart LH9 Failing to Release Hammer

    Hey guys, new poster here. I did some searching, but I couldn't find much of anything on either the LH9 or the DP51. My problem is with an early (looks to be a '91) Daewoo DP51 that I picked up a few weeks ago. I got the gun home and it was filthy. The gun was extremely dry and had a lot of...

    Is keeping a large capasity mag full result in failure to feed?

    I read that a mag spring getting weak is the most common thing to give a failure-to-feed issue in an autoloader. I read some writers say to only keep a revolver near your bed while your large capacity magazines should be kept empty with one in the chamber and the rest nearby but loose. I...

    G27 with 13rd and 15rd mags, FAIL

    I'm hoping some out there have specific experience with my dilemma. My G27 fails to feed every now and again with G23 and G22 mags. From what I can tell by reading online, my pinky is putting pressure on the magazine in a rearward fashion, causing the round to "nose dive" into the feed ramp. I'm...
