I choose to be outside these two tents (G19 and P365), but I won't piss into them. The G19 Gen 5 MOS does so many things acceptably well that I think it is still the yardstick. The P365 - depending...

This reminds me of the little mantra of mine back when a certain political creation's wife was crusading against salt- I'd get a side of fries at a restaurant and mutter FUMO while I scowled and...
"Grunge grooves" on DA revolvers... who'da thunk it? I should have gotten out more.
After sampling the gamut of PC9s, I decided that I liked the conventional stock/aluminum handguard combination best of all. Go figure.
If a .357 "Ruglin" 1894 SBL ends up being unobtanium this...
This is something I have thought about doing, just to have a simple PCC that keeps all drama to a minimum.
Were this my own project, I'd opt for the more compact Arisaka 300 Scout body with a...
"I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man."

Spring was official on the 19th, and I...
.010 to .012" sounds about like every friggin' new revolver I have ever special ordered at a LGS. After a while, it really soured me on wheelguns and partially contributed to my Great Revolver Purge....
We have had good luck with our Springfield nines, but they have also been pampered "fun guns"/range toys (for the most part). The 5" RO Operator overcame initial hiccups to become utterly reliable...
This. The Ruger No. 1 handles gas okay... most of the old stuff, not so much.
In my case, it is an old man's bugaboo that any rifle must have "backup irons" on it; insisting it be an aperture rear is probably OCD and something beyond mere "belt & suspenders." This may be...
When I was toying with the idea of s**tcanning all my centerfire rifles and getting one of the (then-new) Tikka Arctics to be my retired geezer multirole rifle, one of the lads shows up with one......
Actually, I think it may already be a bit overdone. This morning, nine of the ten most recently active threads relate to 1911s, 2011s or Staccatos.
Gunshows worth going to seem to have disappeared around the time our betters banned people from smoking in virtually all venues, and that is going back a ways. I am a non-smoker and used to damn near...
There have been plenty of other places to find 1911-specific info over the years, and nearly all of them end up moribund for one reason or another. Just say no.
I am similarly inclined. My EDC carry has been with me since I got it many years ago from a factory (or distributor) rep who was taking down his booth at an NSGA show. It is an actual Swiss Army...
I aspired to that as well, but I never got there... and I am now too old to care. I have long been paranoid about short-stroking the various 870s that have come and gone (despite not having actually...
An awful lot of sporterized surplus bolt-action rifles ended up with Bishop or Reinhart Fajen stocks after their owners bungled remodeling the issued wood. IIRC, their basic stocks were generally...
Just as the AR has become the "norm" among the younger guys, semiauto shotguns are a hot thing now. Some of the, shall we say, "popularly priced" semis are really, really dogs WRT reliability; those...
With minor caveats, this is the same impression I get. I felt the same way about the Beretta 92X.
We still have two UltraDots on guns that get regularly used. Those things are getting on in years, but they get the job done and don't miss a beat. I sold a third one to finance a "better mousetrap"...
The label in the bag it came in sez:
Sight/Ruger/Front/GP100
Revolver/Opt/.270T/.125W/Ramped/Also
Fits Redhawk Series/Tools Not Included

This.
That being said, I can't even recall the last time I used a semiauto that didn't have a flat top front sight.
I find the rounded top "acceptable but not optimal" on a snub revolver. My...
I am probably woefully out of the loop WRT knowing which magic cleaning potions contain chlorinated esters.
Over the years, I have purchased a lot of replacement plungers and springs* that were launched into frustratingly effective hiding places. To paraphrase Herb Tarlek, "That happened to me twenty...
As far as I know - I have not communicated with him for some time - it has worked fine since the components were slightly tweaked and everything made to fit.
Revolvers (and other trad firearms)...
