    Sidearms & Scatterguns Pistol Grip Ignorance

    Re: Pistol Grip Ignorance Hello DK, I really had to read your question a few times to understand(hopefully) what you're saying. When I have new-shooter students, I tell them much of what I demonstrate can be adapted to their build/mobility/comfort. In the end, the shooter/platform/weapon...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wheel Gun: Feeling the need for a .44 Mag

    Re: Wheel Gun: Feeling the need for a .44 Mag Hey Hawk, I'll echo a bit on what Former Naval said about older S&W. I believe it was 29-4 and previous models where assembly was known to "rattle loose" after a good number of high power fullhouse magnum loads were fed through them. 29-5 and...

    Re: Who likes revolvers? My first H-G my dad bought me for 21st birthday was S&W 586 6". I still have it to this day, box and all. I can put that away for two years, come back to it, set sights on target and 25yds and under it is either one ragged hole, or not far from it! To have a...

    Re: Desert Eagle .50 - thoughts & experiences? VJJ - that was funny stuff. If I'm gonna be insulted and cry about people here that have strong opinions. If I were, I should just leave now. Thanks for the laugh! Everyone else too actually. I qualified in my OP I knew it was ridiculous...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Desert Eagle .50 - thoughts & experiences?

    Re: Desert Eagle .50 - thoughts & experiences? Well, it's a hoot to shoot. Compensated it shoots like a .44. Who knows, maybe I'll sell/trade it in a couple years. Then again, I may just keep it. Either way, for now, it's fun. Sounds like many of the problems are with .44!? Maybe I'll...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Mags, what do you like?

    Re: 1911 Mags, what do you like? Just got two Tripp mags the other day, and was able to try them lastnight! WOW....those are smooth SMOOTH mags!! Now, I only tried them in one 1911, so I'll have to try in multiple. My GRP LOVED THEM!! That being said, Wilson 47's have also been very very...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a full size 1911

    Re: Looking for a full size 1911 As for the rail, if you're going to mount a WML, then it's pretty necessary. If you want the rail because it tends to add about 1oz of weight up front, and you look at it as recoil management, I won't argue that with ya. HELL, if you want the rail because it...

    Re: New Colt Rail Gun! I'm so glad they made the trigger black! I always hated makers that "tactical" the pistol out in black and leave trigger aluminum/silver! Nice pistol, I'm sure you'll enjoy it very much!! I'm a huge fan of two-tone pistols!! -G45

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Looking for a full size 1911

    Re: Looking for a full size 1911 Burke, I'm not trying to be a killjoy, but now you're looking at two totally different guns(IMHO!) First you mention a workhorse pistol like the GRP. If I read your 2nd, you may be considering the Gold Cup? Don't get me wrong, both are nice pistols, but...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Which "carry" handgun to choose

    Re: Which "carry" handgun to choose Afine, As has been somewhat stated above, it's fit. Think of getting a pair of running shoes. Would you get some wingtip loafers to train for a marathon? Likely not. You get what fits and what is comfortable to use time and time again. The decision on...

    Re: HK P7M8 You STOLE it if it's a true P7M8! If it's a P7 PSP model, that is about the going prioe. M8 has "American" mag release. PSP has the Euro release at heel of backstrap. I've owned one of each. They're super accurate, easy to shoot. I just always justified other pistols in...

    Hi All, I know the firearm is "ridiculous", but I have an opportunity to get one that is compensated for a good price. Besides, it's firearms, not like I need much of an excuse to be intrigued! I've fired the 50AE both compensated and uncompensated with factory hot ammo. The compensator makes...

    Gunsmithing BLUEING question

    So I have come across a Gold Cup like the one below.(photo as reference only.) The blueing on the pistol has some pitting at very rear of slide, about 3mm diameter. If I were to have the slide re-blued, would the gold inlays be ruined? Could/Would they be re-done? Has anyone utilized...
