My first 1911 was a cheap one back when I was a teenager. It was a ***. I have some friends with RIA's, they tend to be fine, but it is apparent they are not good about changing their barrel...

If you had a couple boxes of some factory made boolits for a caliber you don't shoot, would you bother selling them? Or should I just chuck them in my melting pot?
I got what what my eyeball...
I have a box of original FA brass, large primer pocket. But, I also have probably 800-1000 Freedom Arms brass with small primer and a good 600 FA factory loads left of small primer. The small...
Texas by God, those are gorgeous. I want to find a knife with a handle like those grips so bad. Not a little knife, a fighting/hunter style.
Love Life, I couldn't agree more. But for those...
I just like the plain old wood grips, I really don't know why.

Another option I really like, Ivory Micarta. That stuff is as hard as can be, its a paper and resin compressed material. But it looks awesome.

I think this stuff looks great and it's...
I can give you the number of the guy that made ivory grips for Colt Custom Shop, he lives in Texas and still makes grips out of ivory. He is making some for my new Wilson Combat.

Some people just like building their own stuff for the experience. I build AK's, I don't do it to save money, I don't particularly like AK's even, but it's fun hobby. You can sell a home build as...
I really don't get these hypothetical dilemmas. If I truly feel I need two revolvers where I am going, I might re-assess where I am going.
One revolver is fine for me, usually a 642.

I like that HDPE, any advice on where is best place to buy it? I just bought a S&W 627 and was thinking about a moon clip holder, and this material would be perfect for loaded moon clips, and I...
I'm not a huge Glock fan. But it does go BANG every time I pull the trigger. Naysayers can dog that oversized chamber, but it works. My Beretta's go bang every time as well, and look better doing...
You can get top ends for closer to $300 with a bit of shopping. Used to be the low end was $250, but the lowest I see is $300 now. And to find that price you will need to take your time, buy used,...
Never have I corrected someone that calls a magazine a clip. If I ever do, please one of you gentleman, punch me in the throat.
I am so sick to death of someone calling it a clip and some...
I've never really found recoil to be painful. But, I had a Contender in 44 magnum that destroyed scopes left and right, and the mounts that held the fore end on? The two pieces kind of dovetailed in...

I reload a lot. Mostly large rifle calibers and large pistol, 338 lapua, 6.5 creed, 30-06, 454 casull, 45 colt, 45 acp, 357 mag, those are my most often reloaded rounds.
But 9mm, I have no...
I carried the M9 for years in the Army, most of the problems people quote are stuff they "heard" from a friend. The upkeep on M9's is abysmal but they keep working, honestly they are fantastic...
I got a great deal on an Uberti stainless 45 with 4 5/8" barrel, put a spring kit in it and omg. The trigger pull is scary good. I wish it wasn't stainless, but someday I might find one with a...
As of yesterday, Beretta released a kit so you can swap parts in a 92 FS to make a G. (FS is decock/safety) (G is decock only, no safety). Police tend to use the G a lot. I ordered the kit myself,...
There are all sorts of stories about Beretta 92/M9 cracked slides to be read on the internet, heard at gunshop counters and from folks who "have a friend that knows a Navy SEAL". These sources...
I used the M9 in the Army, it was a fine weapon. I don't have the longest fingers, so the first round is a stretch, the rest are fine.
I bought a Wilson Combat Brig Tac, I love it. Super...
I could help with scanning and making a dropbox file, if that would help. And ship it to whomever y'all choose when I am done. Take me less than an hour to do.
I have a Wilson Combat Beretta, and a M9A3. I just want an accurate round, nothing fancy. Do y'all have any suggestions on which mold? Anyone have a Beretta that likes a certain mold?
I bought...
