my last purchase from them was a 4006 deal.. I requested a really clean one and paid the extra for a "like new ". I was surprised when my gun arrived..looking as though it had never been fired nor carried..I'm guessing it was in the duty armory, but never made it to the street. I was very...

proper concealment boys.. my biz has me working among cops every week...multiples and I'm with them all day long. In 6 years of CCW, I've always worn my 32 in belt pouch and never had an LEO ask me about it or give indication that they've noticed it. When I do carry a larger pistol I take great...

DAO for primary carry. I'm not a big gun enthusiast and I don't want to have to think a lot about my tool if/when I ever really need to use it so my main carry guns are DAO. I am not as accurate with them at distance as I am with a 1911.. Imean if i'm taking all day long to pull the trigger...

I just come to this thread to feel better about myself. when it went past one (1) uno gun, my wife started calling it a collection. In fairness.. It's not my hobby so I keep tools and probably have 2 more than i need of those. btw: you guys have more than my local gun shop !!

check out the naaminis.com forum...guys over there focus on mouse guns..basically the opinion is that 25 is the wimpiest cal...some guys would prefer going down to a 22 rather than the 25...that said i carry a 32 all the time and with the proper ammo and the element of surprise, it just might...

update - after 2 trips to the shop, the owner called in a local specialist who immediately spotted the problem..either the factory, or the prior owner was having this same feed jam problem and while the actual problem was theextrractor adjustment/alignment..the previous hands on the gun tried to...

stopped by the shop this morning..as expected..he hadn't had a chence to look at it yet, but I printed off this thread and passed it to him..he said "as many heads..the better" and put the printout with the gun..at least I had a chance to tell him in person what it was doing, because the writeup...

yep...Big Hand Ed..is the name...and it was one of the first things my local gun shop guy asked me, was to show him my grip..to see how I hold..but I don't thumb it...and I shoot a couple other guns that are much smaller and less ergonomic than this one. The original slide release flipper was so...

thanks guys..all good advice...I've put maybe 500rds through the gun this past year that I've had it...it came with little, but uncomfirmed use from a local DEA agent that has a habit of buying and selling frequently..he hadn't had it long so I'm guessing he didn't put many through it. I did...

ok..it's on a compact size 1911 (springfield ultra compact V10).sorry..but this is my only gun forum. it started doing this intermittently at first..then the other night it was doing it most of the time..so I checked it in for repair. The gun will fire a round, then lock open as if it's...

jeez guys! other than open your own store...what's up?! I'd like to double my reserve stash, but when I think about our country experiencing really bad times where i might actually need my guns and not be able to go down to walmart and buy more.. I still can only imagine pouring through a...

dude...trust your CS. of the various pistols I own, my CS40 DAO has never ever ever failed in anyway. I've had other pistols that I wanted to love, they were so purty and sexy and had a name on them, etc..and yet, they left me worried as range time had them FTFeed or jam for one reason of the...
