SP101s are heavy and bulky compared to steel J-frames, but they are much more pleasant WRT recoil... one can't have one's cake and eat it too. The only snubby still on the property after my Great...

I have only owned two DDs; one is still in the family.

The M4V7SLW is a dandy turn-key carbine. I kind of wish I had gone the 14.5 barrel with a pinned FH route on my last AR.

If it is an issue with CX4s, I have not experienced it... nor has anyone I personally know ever said anything about it to me. That being said, none of these people or I have put a suppressor on one;...

Makes sense.

Broadly speaking, the CX4s I am personally acquainted with have functioned and held up quite well overall over time (much to my surprise). And as much as I have complained about the...

"Yes" on the former and "probably" on the latter.

Agreed. Ms gata naranja still loves her SR22s, and I became something of a convert myself; so packable, easy to use and maintain that there is never any reason to NOT take an SR22 along. Ours all...

My honeymoon with single point slings was brief and unrewarding... an annulment soon followed. I hope you fare better.

I also hope you continue to wring this out and report back, as I am...

Two people who were very influential in my firearms journey - though at widely separated parts of my life - believed that the best "well, I guess this is it" gun to have was a sporterized Mauser in...

'Tis a dangerous thread for me. Must... resist...

Given that I have a history of getting guns snagged on this 'n' that, I'd be tempted to take about a quarter of an inch off that Arisaka finger...

I handicapped myself with a 14" LOP - or thereabouts - "sporting" shotgun stock WAY too long. I have been slowly but steadily converting some of the Fuddites.



"Good God! I've been sayin' it....

Over time, I have become almost OCD about keeping keeping the bottom of a forearm as free from "stuff" as I can. If there is a way to smack a 6:00 accessory into something... or have it snag... or...

One of my old friends bought his .30-30 Savage 340 sometime in the mid-1960s because he:

a. wanted something fairly easily scoped
b. had a hankering to try handloading spitzer bullets in the...

Back in the old days, I think most GP-100s and SP101s came with a small length of drill rod or brass rod to put through that strut 's small hole. I know I lost a few of them back when I was playing...

I tried hard to like the full-size PX4s, but never really developed a lot of enthusiasm for them; I took to the full-size 92X right away.

The two respective compacts are a draw for me personally,...

Locally, Staccatos seem to have been bought mostly by the carriage trade and/or people willing to spend the money to keep up with same; they tend to be "firearms guys" as well, which is fortuitous....

IMO, the PX4 compact is Beretta's best DA/SA gun from a procedural standpoint- easier to maintain, probably more durable long-term, etc. I switched to the 92X line-up because with the X series,...

Back when I would shoot other peoples' reloads, I'd get a batch of some real dandies that would lead the crap out of one of my revolvers and/or foul it to the point where I'd start cussing. Unique...

An old classmate of mine said to me after he had split with wife #3, "Each one of them drove me nuts in a different way." I was like that with revolvers to the point where I sold them all off...

My first good AR was a DD M4V3 with an Aimpoint T-1. During the time I had it, I did a few minor things:

1. Changed out the A2 grip for a Magpul MOE grip and an MOE Enhanced triggerguard (in FDE)...

Indeed. I have had a couple of whacks upside the head WRT an aftermarket component that was closer to "bombproof" than the more important bit(s) it was applied to. Had I stopped and really, REALLY...

In retrospect, I let the PX4 compact's grip length bug me far more than I should have.

That was my take many years ago. Even today, I would prefer to see a lot of less "dialed-in" people buy a three or four inch .38/.357 with decent sights rather than stumble about with semiautos, but...

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...
