    Security Six Parts? Replacement spring problems.

    I just traded a used Glock 26 with 2 mags for a 4" blued Security Six in 90% condition and $200. I always like to keep spare parts for my guns. I have read that people who have bought the Wolff replacement spring kits are having problems fitting them. Can anyone recommend or give me advice...

    Cabelas selling "Refurbished" GP100's. ?????????

    So if I understand you, these guns are essentially used samples or customer returns? The refurbishing does not automatically mean that something was wrong with them, just that they could have been slightly used in some way?

    Are Ruger MKII & MKIII mainspring housings interchangeab

    I have one that appears to be rusted, but not really. I looks like bright copper paste in the grooves. It just appeared one day. I can not scrub it out. It reminds me of the bright copper lube you find inside the slide of a new Glock. Anyway. It is bugging the hell out of me, But I can only...

    Found a MKII, blued, 5.5 inch bull barrel - Questions

    I passed on the Ruger MKII 50th anniversary and found a MKII, blued bull barrel with adjustable sights at the same store for $309. I can not find anything wrong with the pistol (99%), so I put it on a 5 day hold. I am leaning towards the bull barrel. The price seems great for it and it looks...

    Mark III Hunter 4.5" Holster preferences?

    Look up Surplus French Leather hosters. I found one for $8 for my MKII 4.75 standard barrel pistol. It is a tight fit, but works really well. It is a flap holster, which might be preferred for hunting.

    Mark III Barrel Differences

    I guess that depends on what you want to do with it. Having fun hitting tin cans? Hunting small varmits/game? Serious competition? Probably a standard barrel will take care of 90% of what you want to do..... All a question of what feels best in your hand and what you can stand looking at.
