    Basic understanding of firearms (pistols) right/wrong?

    It might be a case of poor wording, or just trying to dumb things down for people who aren't educated about firearms. Could they be talking about taking the pistol out of battery? I don't know that I'd trust the idea to work on every firearm, but that could be it. -P

    SR40... It's official

    I guess I'm one of the few that was actually looking forward to this pistol. Although I couldn't have been the only one that wrote to the CEO to asking for it. I look forward to your review Jeff. -P

    Plastic Guns versus Metal?

    I have both and carry both. I didn't really have a preference when I got them, and I still don't. IMHO neither is really superior to the other, but weight isn't a big deal to me. -P

    I'm in the market for a pistol and I have a question

    Hey rosborn, welcome to the forum. I've fired all three of the pistols you're mentioned, but I only own a P944. As I always say, go out and make 'em go bang before you decide. It may cost you a few bucks to rent them all, but you'll know exactly what you're buying. As for the different...

    therory to turn fat into steal, -50/365=92-.357/.38

    Are you looking at the walther P99 or P99c? I have the P99c and a friend has the P99. The compact is a LOT smaller. I like mine, but I'll give you a few things to keep in mind while you're looking at them. For me the compact is super easy to conceal. Magazines are expensive, last I checked they...

    Does the famous FBI shoot-out concern you by carrying a 9mm.

    Personally I don't own a 9mm. There are reasons for that. This of course is JMHO so take it for what it's worth.

    Black Hawk Serpa

    I thought I was the only one waiting for this. Kinda makes me wonder if they're going to be on backorder by the time I can get one ordered. Please let us know when you get yours.

    Sight adjustment p93

    Just my two cents and you might have already fooled with this but....... Have you tried adjusting where your finger is on the trigger? Trigger control? This is stuff we all take for granted and sometimes I forget about it myself. A shooting buddy of mine has a glock, he shoots left too, and...

    SKS question

    Of course the one part I didn't clean is the problem. :lol: I've actually never had the bolt apart. Whoever had it before me probably didn't either. This thing has to be better than 50 years old with the way it looks. So, one more question. I saw that murray firing pin? Anyone used one of...

    SKS question

    I'm sure this is in completely the wrong place but we'll run with it till it gets moved. Sorry. Ok so I have an old chinese made SKS, no name, and not much information on where it came from or who made it, but the wood is about gone, it doesn't have the spike or cleaning rod. I picked it up...
