    CZ 452 Boyd tacticool?

    Is Boyds still making the tacticool for CZ452? I haven't had luck with their website nor have I found any new/used in other arena. I guess it'll just push me to getting a Manners stock ordered anyway. But, thought I'd try the Boyds just for cost. I know others here LOVE their Manners...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Specific Shooting School?

    Question for ya'll, I know Larry Vickers runs his 1911 operators course. I'm an avid shooter and can hold my own in pistol shooting, but I'm never resting on my laurels. I own a few 1911's and perform dry drills in conjunction with my live-fire drills on a regular basis. That being said...

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

    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...

    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...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 Mags, what do you like?

    Hello All, I guess I more specifically wanted to know how people like Tripp Research mags for 1911. I've been running with Wilson, Chip McCormick Star and Power Mag and a few Nighthawk mags. I've yet to try some Tripp mags. Wilson with polymer follower are just SMOOTH - period! Chip mags...

    After approximately nine months, my Nighthawk Talon II Bobtail has arrived! I have GRP as well, and it's funny how the new pistol still amazes me. I've always liked 2-tone guns, and I finally got one to specs I liked. This will be a CCW pistol. I added ambi-safety, Heinie ledge sights...

    A question to those of you shooting Gen 4 Glocks, more specifically a G21. So, I recently purchased a G21G4. I have used my Gen 3 for years, no issues. I shoot the Gen4, shoots nice. Then I begin shooting multi-shot strings, like practicing a Bill Drill, or shoot to lockback - reload - fire...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Flush Slide Stop on Sig 1911 . . . DIY

    So, be BLUNTLY honest here with me(not like I'd expect this crew to hand out teddy bears and rainbows anyway!) So, I really dislike the slide stop lever sticking out past the frame. I tend to push on it during malfunction clears/mag changes, and then the slide totally locks up. I wasn't...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Lew Horton special!

    SO, I'll probably be arrested for "stealing" this gun. But hey, price was set by seller not me!(local sale) Little did I know until I had a friend email Lew Horton to verify, it is indeed a Lew Horton. Mellow reloads, no worries. Factory loaded magnum rounds, hold on. Sadly, no box! Cool...

    Howdy folks, So I have an Aimpoint Micro T1 LRP that came with the spacer, optic, low mount and only LONG screws. A co-worker also got one, and his only had the long screws. For my application, I need only short screws, optic and mount as I don't need the spacer. So I can not yet mount this...

    Gunsmithing HELP / SUGGESTIONS - coating my trigger

    Hello, So I installed a flat-face 10-8 trigger in my 1911. The whole gun is black except for this "white" aluminum. I filed it little by little so it fits nice(minimal tolerance.) I don't think painting is going to be an option ( at least for my skill level.) What ideas/thought do any of...

    So, I was at a firearms store the other day, and was looking at 1911's. I saw a GRP in the case and the clerk said they just got one in on trade that belonged to an LEO. It was a GRP Recon(before they beveled stop hole and shortened the pin.) There is a <span style="font-weight...

    Tac-Ops rifle/drag bag

    Well, as I'm waiting for my project rifle to be completed by Score-High Gunsmithing(worth the wait!) I thought why not treat my rifle to a good "home" when it gets delivered. I contemplated some less expensive bags, but I've never read anything bad about Tac-Ops bags. Some may say it's a lot of...

    Rifle Scopes What makes an FFP more costly than SFP?

    First off, I understand that the reticle is useful, at face value so-to-speak, for ranging in an FFP at all magnifications and is not on an SFP(well, I know one can figure it out though.) But, what I am wondering is, what is mechanically going on inside of an FFP scope to have it be more costly...
