I recently purchased a PAP M92 AK pistol. I removed the thread protector & installed a Krink brake. The detent pin & spring went on fine, but I lost the tiny pin that goes in the tiny hole to retain the detent pin. I've been told that this won't be a problem; that the tiny pin isn't...

I'm looking to get an AR in .223 & I'd like to get your opinions. There are a lot of manufacturers out there who seem to be putting out great products. The rifle would be used for self-defense. The most important thing I'm looking for is reliability. It has to be dependable. I really like...

I received my Enhanced Pancake from Lobo Gunleather yesterday. The holster is even nicer than I was expecting (and I was expecting a lot). The leather is top quality, the workmanship is fantastic, and it fits the gun (Glock 30S) like a glove. I wore the holster for about 9 hours today and it...

I have a Don Hume H721 holster for my Glock 21. The holster is leaving a small "blemish" on the slide near the barrel. It seems to happen even if the gun is in the holster for only a few hours. It's not a scratch because I can use some Hoppes on a patch & it comes right off. The interior of...

I'd like your opinions on whether +P is necessary in 45 ACP for self-defense. I like what I've read about Winchester Ranger T 230 grain JHP. The +P seems to have about 10% more velocity than the standard load. I know that +P can cause more wear & tear on the handgun. I have a Glock 21...

I'm looking for a leather belt holster for a Glock 17. There's a lot of really good companies to choose from (Alessi, Kramer, Milt Sparks, etc.). Which company do you think has the best quality holsters? Thanks for your thoughts.

I'd like to get your opinion of the Winchester Ranger 127 gr. +P+ (RA9TA) as a self-defense round. I've read good things about it as far as velocity, accuracy, & expansion. I understand that it's pretty hard to find. Is it true that this is basically the same round as the Black Talon ammo...

I've used the low recoil 00 buckshot from Federal & Remington and enjoy shooting it. I was wondering if any companies make 000 buckshot in low recoil? I can't think of any. Thanks for your help.

I've been wondering about what might be the maximum capacity we'll see in 357 magnum. N-frames have 8 round capacities. I suppose that more rounds would be possible in an X-frame. Do you think that 8 rounds is probably the limit, or do you think that 9 or even 10 rounds may be possible in the...

I recently had Trijicon night sights added to my Glock 17. Personally, I think they're great. The white circles help in the daylight and the green tritium shows up well in the dark. Since a lot of self-defense situations happen at night, I think they're a good idea. Also, since the sights...

I'm looking for some night sights for a Glock 17. So far, I'm leaning toward the Trijicon sights. I'd appreciate your opinions on Trijicon & other types of night sights. Thanks.

Has anyone used the Blackhawk/Knoxx Breachersgrip? I've read where these grips can reduce the recoil of a shotgun by 50 - 75%. Supposedly these grips would let you fire a 12 gauge shotgun one-handed (in an emergency situation, I guess). Thanks for any responses.

This has probably been discussed before, but unfortunately I missed it. In the 1986 Miami FBI Shootout with Platt & Matix, several of the agents were armed with 357 Magnums. From what I've read, they were loaded with 38 Special ammo, not 357 Magnum. Does anyone know the reason the agents...

I'm looking to buy a new handheld flashlight & I'd like to hear opinions about Streamlight and Surefire. From what I've read, both seem to be well made. I really like some of the tactical lights I've seen on Streamlight's website. How do they compare as far as durability, reliability...

I'm new at this, so please be patient with me. Has anyone tried the new Model 640 357 Magnum with no lock, night sights, & cylinder cut for moon clips? Would the average (?) shooter find the recoil excessive if using Federal 125 grain JHP (357B)? I'm sure the extra weight of the 640 would...

This is my first post so please bear with me. Has anyone tried the new Model 640 with no internal lock? I like the idea of no lock, cut for moon clips, and night sights. I've never shot a 357 Magnum Model 640 & I'm curious about the recoil. I'd be using Federal 125 grain JHP. Thanks.
