slide

Prior to getting into competition I always thought that firearms were indestructible and lasted indefinitely. However, I was recently told that, for a semi-auto, each time the slide cycles it scrapes off a miniscule amount of metal from the slide rails. Eventually, the slide rails will get so...

Recently purchased an LCP MAX several months back and have been carrying it off an on. I’ve normally wiped the slide down occasionally with a silicone rag and haven’t had any issues, until just getting it out after several weeks in its case. The slide had surface rust on the rear serrations...

Does anyone have any experience with the warranty on Glocks, Kahrs, or Springfields? Glocks only come with an official 1 year warranty but I've heard that they repair them for the lifetime of the pistol and even if it's from nornal wear and tear. However, having had no personal experience with...

I see advertising for the new BrazTech|Rossi Gallery 22LR, but no one seems to actually have them for sale. I question if they really have been for sale yet, or is stock truly depleted? Rossi RP22181WD UPC 754908229802 (wood furniture) Rossi RP22181SY UPC 754908229901 (synthetic furniture &...

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...

After resisting the temptation to buy a Glock for more than 30 years, I caved in and bought a G19 3rd gen a month or so ago. Believe it or not the impetus was not the pistol, rather I was intrigued by the NCStart VISM folding red Dot. And since Glock is one of the few guns that has slides...

Disclaimer: if this topic belongs elsewhere, feel free to move it. I’ve recently been considering buying a slide for one of my G19 frames. I have two, and one currently wears a factory slide and the other a .22 kit. I found the following source for slides which look pretty interesting...

Hello all, "newbie" here. I just purchased a Star BM 9mm. Overall pretty good cosmetic shape for a surplus gun, but it's the first I've ever seen of this model; bought it based on very positive posts on many forums and YouTube videos. So my question - I noticed that there's a little "free...

Hi, I'm having a problem with my BHP that I'm hoping someone might be able to help with. After firing several rounds this past weekend, I noticed that the slide wasn't locking back after firing the last round of the clip. It's a fairly new gun that hasn't been fired that much so I chalked it...

I just got a Springfield Armory XDs 4" in 45acp. Love the gun and the way it shoots,BUT The mag release is extremely hard to push in...no way in a bad situation would I be able to disengage the spent mag with just my thumb quickly. Is it a matter of breaking in, is it the mag? Also the slide...
