    Important information on the Ruger SP101 327 Federal.

    sticky extraction can be so many things that you might want to wear a rusty fish hook in your nose instead... a few years back - brian pearce, one of the gun mag writers described the same thing in one of his big bore rugers - sent it back and all was fine with a new cylinder.. why? because...

    Ruger LC9 discontinued?

    according to the folks at ruger (during a phone call I had last week, about getting another ruger repaired) - yes the straight up LC9 is no more. and I won't be getting rid of mine any time soon. the galloway trigger kit took care of all my trigger related issues and the laserlyte side-saddle...

    Just got a new purple LC9

    clean it first. inside and out. thoroughly. lube it and then wipe it dry. sounds silly, i know. the tale of two lc9s goes something like this - i bought mine with a buddy from work, the lgs was offering a decent price, so we both got one each. about two days later we both went to our range...

    Redhawk best barrel lenth

    Redhawk Down -- What will replace it?

    and then there is the speculation that the redhawk may comback - with a gp100/super redhawk mainspring/grip stud. the rest of the gun would remain essentially unmolested - as there has been a great deal of interest in short barreled super redhawk guns as converted by hamilton bowen and a couple...

    Mk I - going nuts, which may be a short trip..

    so i inherit a tired mk i and despite the rust and missing parts - i decide to make the effort to get it back to shooting condition. this will go to one of my grandsons - so it can't be a rust bucket - i've decided to stabilize the rust through either bead blasting or sanding (then bead...

    The Almost Gun: The Ruger LC9

    years ago, glock knew they were on to something - they took their g17, chopped it and the compact glock market took off. smith has done the same. their web site says the retail is 449 for a shield. i paid 345 for my lc9, put a laserlyte for another 90 and have two finger support mags. sited...

    Report: LC9 #2 = Not So Good

    Interesting stuff! Just bought my LC9 before Christmas. Have a buddy that I work with that has one as well. He said he was having similar problems - so I said let's go.. Using Winchester "white box" 115gr ball, I put 50 rounds through it without a hitch. Sure enough - he had a misfire after...
