What should I be keeping an eye out for during inspection?

I see many saying that .308 ARs are not as reliable/durable as 5.56 ones. Does this also apply to ones like the LMT MWS and HK MR762?

On my old Remington 870s with factory stocks, short stroking is something I have great difficulty with. The 590 with the SGA stock and thin kick-eez buttpad has helped a lot with that. I did...

I'll call Ruger tomorrow. Only thing is, now the cylinder is acting normal, but it goes back and forth between being sticky and not. I don't understand what's going on.

I'm concerned Ruger would...

Here are two pictures from while I was at the range when the cylinder wouldn't close. Keep in mind this is different from when it's difficult to open.

Also, I'm fiddling with the...

I will post pictures later, I couldn’t see anything that looked like a burr on the extractor detent or on the recoil shield, but I’ll take another look. I’m not even sure the cylinder gets far enough...

Don’t HK and Glock use MIM parts in their current duty guns that work just fine? I don’t understand the problem with MIM specifically with SIG but not other brands. They’re just about all filled with...

I’m not sure I understand. What looks like a trap?

The front cylinder lock moves freely, it doesn’t get far enough in to interfere with anything when the cylinder is being difficult to close. I...

Ok. I’ve never disassembled a GP100 but will attempt tonight. Doesn’t the round count (no more than 1100 using almost always jacketed ammo) seem a bit low to be encountering this normally since I...

Yesterday I was shooting my trainer HK45C at speed (my shot timer's batteries died though!), and it seems I too was holding down the slide release on the left side, or at least my thumb was close...

Thank you. Thanks to your advice I did indeed set up my 590A1 with the SGA stock, no spacers, and the thinner kick-eez buttpad. For over 500 rounds since I got it, I had never short stroked it, it...

I have not. I didn't think it would need to be detail disassembled at this point, and I'm not sure how it could cause this. For over a thousand rounds it's run fine without being detail stripped, and...

I have a Vang Comp "Standard" Mossberg 590A1 with a bit over 500 shells through it. A mix of buckshot and birdshot. Up until today I've always relatively slowly and deliberately pumped it and haven't...

It's tight, I went ahead and made sure. Unfortunately it's still having the issue, primarily the cylinder not wanting to come out.

I almost want to make a thread for this because it seems to be something that I've run into before, but I don't want to clutter things up and am hoping I can get some kind of help here. I am having a...

Your recollection of a class where you were shooting an otherwise-reliable Glock 17 in the rain and having jams is one of the many instances I had in mind when posting this question originally. Thank...

I still think it’s the gold standard. The P365, IMO, is on the ragged edge of reliability and is less forgiving of grip, lack of lubrication, and not keeping up with mag spring changes. The G19 is...

I will also note that I likewise see relatively frequent malfunctions during private citizen involved defensive shootings, so I know it’s not just an LE thing.

I will admit sometimes it makes me...

Thank you for the extremely informative post. I also echo the question of what exactly a conceal carrier should do to maintain their firearm if carried daily. In addition, what would constitute...

A well thought out response. So it comes down to how the user is manipulating it. What's weird is sometimes I don't see anything obvious with the officer's hold on the gun, but bodycam footage isn't...

I've seen this commented on this forum here and there over the years, and it's something I've also observed. Generally, modern duty-grade semi-auto pistols are incredibly reliable and forgiving on...

Can having the hammer bobbed (spur removed) cause light strike issues?

I have gotten it pretty warm firing several cylinders in immediate succession of full power .357 Magnum ammo (mainly Remington 158gr SJHP), then let it cool down afterwards.

Do y'all think with just over 1k rounds through my GP100, mostly with Magnums, that it is vetted enough for carry?

Same, I'm heavily considering the S&W 686 "3-5-7" 3 inch with the unfluted cylinder. The new Python Combat Elite 3" unfluted also looks really nice, but I'm not sold on the new model Python's...
