      1911 45acp suggestions

      I can't believe I got to the last post before Clark Custom Guns was mentioned. They are based in Princeton, La. just off of Hiway 80.I have a Kimber based stainless "Meltdown" and a Kimber based Gold Match. I had to take the meltdown back to have them heavy up the trigger pull. Done while I...

      S&W SD9 VE storage questions.

      Thanks for the replies. The condo is owned by a local (Shreveport) doctor. I haven't read the lease agreement lately, but you can rest assured that I will. I don't plan in calling him and asking for permission unless firearm ownership is proscribed in the lease. Im beginning to think that a...

      S&W SD9 VE storage questions.

      Moderators, please feel free to move this post if it is not in the right forum. I bought my son a S&W SD9 VE and put an Apex spring kit in the trigger group prior to gifting it to him. He is 23 years old, and is just now showing interest in shooting. We went out to the range, and he showed...

      Looking for gunsmith

      For that type of work, I would just go ahead and send it to Briley in Houston, Tx. You didnt specify what type of shotgun it is.

      Opinions on .22lr handguns

      Just buy a S&W model 41 and be done with it. Unless you want a Clark Team Challenge barrel like I did. No need for other .22 pistols for me.

      Rimfire scope

      Leopold rimfire variable magnification scope. Its worth the money even if you have to save to get it.

      sugar level too high. what can i eat?

      I would get an appt. with a primary care physician and a consultation with a dietician. Long term side effects of uncontrolled diabetes can be serious.

      Now THIS is a Muffaletta!

      In Shreveport, Fertittas is the place to go over on Fairfield. Monjunis not as good.

      Keltec PF9 "Fluff" and "Buff"

      I had a brand new PF9. It frequently failed to extract and jammed. I did the "fluff and buff" but no joy. I sent it back to Kel Tec. They polished the feed ramp, replaced the extractor and sent it back. It ran 78 rounds out of about 100. I sold it with full disclosure at a loss to a FFL...

      Beretta 390 Advice/Opinions wanted

      The 390 is out of production. The 3901 is a less expensive version with a plastic stock. If you can get a "new" 390 at that price, I would jump on it. There are plenty of gunsmiths that support 390s. No worries for at least the next decade. I had one, and now have a 391. Great semi autos.

      PPK versus Sig P238 versus XD9 subcompact recoil

      I had a PPKS American .380. The recoil and muzzle blast was a handful not to mention the possibility of hammer bite. I sold it and kept my Sig P232. Still snappy, but more manageable for me. It's the only double action auto I have left since I don't favor that manual of arms. I would...

      Sightron Reviews

      My experience has been excellent with Sightron scopes. I have 3. My latest one is an SI II Big Sky 6X24X42 on my 10-22 target rifle. It is better than my 18+ year old Leupold VX 3 with similar specs. I suspect the Leupolds have improved as well. I don't think the Sightron is as good as a...

      M&P 9 Shield -- Comprehensive Review

      I had a chance to get out to the range today to shoot my Shield. I ran 4 different brands of ammo thru it for a total of about 100 rounds. I used Monarch 115, Winchester white box 115, PMC 115, and Federal 124 HST. No stoppages of any kind. Accuracy is very good. Fit and finish is...

      s&w 642

      I own one and carry it frequently. I use the Speer Gold Dot special short barrel 135gr JHP made just for this type of firearm. I highly recommend the 642.

      Ruger LCP & LC9 ???

      Nothing at all wrong with the 642. The small 9mm autos are subject to "limp wristing" malfunctions. This is not a problem with the revolvers. FWIW, i just ordered a Kel Tec PF9 for carry, but I have a 642 and a G19.

      Gun safe in the garage?

      Ive had my safe in a closet in the garage for 20 years without any rust problem. I do have a GoldenRod dehumidifier installed. YMMV.

      Metal Injection Molded parts

      The Glock 19 was purchased new by the way. I went out to the range today, and I have to say that removing the casting marks from the extractor made the gun eject much better. It still doesn't like Remington UMC 115 gr. 9mm, but I only had 2 rounds eject back at me out of a box. Monarch 115...
