I've been developing some interest in possibly getting a 2011 type. I've never actually shot a 1911 in 9mm. I would be looking at a sub-compact like the new Springfield I read about recently, although I haven't seen one in person. Unfortunately the 2011s I have seen don't feel that great in my...

And another useless post! Well the garbage disposal went bad. That happens. However I'd been delaying repair of the other side of the double sink due to all of the **** underneath the sink. So I figure I'll fix the leak so that sink can be put back in full service so I get to the disposal side...

I have a Schrade "Extreme Survival" Taiwan blade automatic. I may have had it 15 years or so. I think the blade was 2 3/4" before I sharpened it a bazillion times. Calling it an "Extreme Survival" anything is a joke. But for everyday carry it was the perfect size for me. It was made before...

I very recently bought an Armscor Mapp1 FS from PSA. Why? Because it was so darned cheap. I think it was $220. It's a version of the Tanfoglio Witness. Well I guess it's a clone of an older model Tanfoglio Witness which I guess is a CZ75 clone. It appears the polymer frame is made in the...

I've finally decided to try powder coating. My questions, so far; do I size before coating, after coating or both?

LGS has a K22 I might be interested in. It's a shooter as there is a fair bit of finish loss but it seems tight. Unfortunately it doesn't have the original stocks. However it may have period correct custom target stocks, which I don't like. Fitz is engraved in the bottom of them. 1st, What do...

I recently purchased some new/used grips from Vtgw938 here in the Accessories/Misc For Sale or Trade sub-forum. Unknown make but good hard wood. Fairly pretty. They look a lot better than the Uncle Mikes that were on it. At least I think they look good. I'm not real good with pics:

PSA has the 686+ unfluted 5" wood for $700. I'd be interested except for the H hole and I already have a 4" and a 6". I'd expect it to be a fine shooter and something I'd have happily have carried as my duty gun when working. IMHO the 5" is a great duty gun length and a fine shooter overall...

I have several old clips I've had for about 40 years. I'm not sure but I think I bought them with hot surplus 9mm with chrome or nickel plated steel jacketed bullets. But my memory could be way off. The clip in the picture seems to be parkerized or similar but some of then are chromed or nickel...

Not too long ago I bought a PSA 9mm Dagger compact (G19 clone) conplete upper to stick on my Gen 2 Glock 23 so I could shoot 9mm in it. It was pretty cheap although I don't recall the cost. It worked just fine although they don't mention Gen 2 compatibility. The Gen 2 ejector is straight rather...

After removing the reverse threaded ejector rod tip and removing the cylinder from the yoke, how do you then remove the ejector and rod from the cylinder? What I'm used to (older models) you would just unscrew the ejector rod but then those didn't have a removable rod tip. My inclination is to...

I've been trying to cut down on the invasive african redhead agama lizards that fairly recently moved onto my property. I've been using Super Calibri 22LR, mostly in my modestly scoped Remington 512-X. I have fair success with that setup but those rounds do lack consistancy. Super quiet but...

Without going gormet does anyone have a recomended 380 die. I have an old Lee set somewhere but I never liked it as it sized down much too tight. Maybe the Lees are different now but I don't know. I don't shoot 380 much but the wife has one she needs practice with. She has a G27 and shoots it...

I have a 629-3 5" "629 Classic". I like the gun very much. However I do not like the wide grooved target trigger. Actually I hate it. My estimate without removing it is it measures is .4". My old 6" 629-1 has a smooth trigger that appears just a little shy of the .4". I've never had an issue...

Well I sit here with my box from Cologuard. The video instructions say I'm to "deposit" my "normal size" "sample" in in the provided little bucket with what I assume is a very secure lid. The "sample" must be able to be covered by the liquid contents of a small plastic jar. Something has to...

I was recently bemoaning considerably the higher price of one of my very favorite cheeses, Taleggio. I've passed on buying any more. Cleaning out the refrigerator I discovered a badly expired sealed package of it in the very back of my cheese drawer. It was badly expired and had become...

I bought a lifetime subscription to Police Magazine, which I've had for a good while. My latest issue had a big notice stuck to the cover telling me my subscription would now be in digital format only and that they had changed owners since I purchased my subscription. The've just stopped it...

I'm looking to shoot my 10mms, G40 and 1911. I can't afford the ammo so I'm looking to load, but I have no brass to speak of. I found new Fiocchi brass at $180\K. I don't think I've ever reloaded that brand although I've left some on the range. Anybody know if it's much good?

I have a somewhat vintage I bought off the bay site. I stretched it to fit my 3" 60-10. It's a flap holster. My original intent was was for something protective for the gun for when I'm working out in the woods here in S.Fl. Well, after using it for that a few days I discovered that those...

First off I apologize if your name is actually Bubba. No offence intended. I've known several great guys birth named Bubba over the years. I recently bought a 5" 629-3 with clearly very low miles. It felt very un-broken in. Upon cracking it open it did have an unusual amount of fairly clean...
