for cleaning, ballistol is all i use
One of my 45 auto Tisas 1911’s had ejection issues. It required fitting a new firing pin stop, extractor and ejector. My 3rd Tisas (a 9mm tank commander) was terribly unreliable with extraction...
Silhouette has become my preferred powder for 124/147 gr 9mm and 230 gr 45 auto loads. Velocities and SD’s are impressive, meters great, zero flash, minimal fouling. Among the Ramshot powders, true...
Almost as bad as 90-two!
I’m confused about the “twin sear”. Unclear why is necessary? Well I’m just glad the folks who spaz over slide-mounted decocker are now made complete.
Ruger’s firearms have always been inconsistent for me, but their CS is consistently excellent. I’d really give them a chance to work on the GP100. Ultimately if it’s still problematic they will...

Me wants a Glock 46, not 49!
1. While utility is questionable, it’s a cool product with a large market.
2. Rights are not regained by “tactfully” surrendering other rights. If we are afraid of how certain fringe products will...
I own a redhawk 5 inch and several 629 models including a 5”. My preference is strongly for the 629, which feels sleek, well balanced and a joy to shoot. The redhawk feels enormous and heavy with an...
The mag carrier, in my experience, provides better balance and concealment for the pistol holster for reasons I explained above. My wife has found the same. Others on the forum have commented...
I use the JMCK standard AIWB holster. I’ve tried the 2.0 and 2.5 holsters which are top notch but the claw isn’t necessary for me.
1. OP are you carrying an extra mag? Believe it or not the mag...
With respect to slides, LWD has had many issues over the years that I’ve seen firsthand. I’ve had overall good experiences with the barrels, but my understanding is most of their manufacturing is...

Beretta’s listed weights for 92 models are wildly inaccurate. Don’t make decisions based on that info.
I AIWB carry a P30/P30L and various 92 models. Both pistols are some of the finest ever designed. I really don’t believe one is superior. The lighter P30 feels easier on the belt but the lines of the...
Alabama holster
1. If it’s really an issue then just get a new rear sight and ensure it is installed correctly.
2. If gunsmith claims that AIWB causes a sight to move in the dovetail, find new gunsmith.
Trigger finger likely contacting the mag release during recoil. I had this issue with the HK45. Install the large back strap to help pull your finger away from the trigger. Fire the pistol using the...
Does the magazine still fit? I’d expect the shield trigger bar may not provide sufficient lateral clearance from the magazine.
My floodlight has worked well for me. Used it a ton around 2017-2019 with the TLR1 on a 92A1 and a P220. However my preference is for a full length sweat shield and the lower cut on the floodlight...
IIRC Sig uses P229-1 notation for the slightly wider grip frame for the 12 rd .40 and 15 rd 9mm mags. The older P228 mags don’t really fit or rather the mag catch will barely engage the magazine...
It will work on a G30. I’ve installed them on all sorts of gen 3/4 pistols no issues. In fairness I don’t use any aftermarket trigger components, which could present some problems with an SCD.
From my time as a subject in the commonwealth of Massachusetts, I’ve a large # of Glock factory 10 rd mags. They have consistently shown nosedives on last round in the magazine especially if the...
My YHM suppressors (R9, turbo k, resonator k) get more use than anything else. Their compact size and excellent value really won me over. YHM’s center fire rifle taper mount system is poorly...
It is excellent. I am using a YHM 3 lug mount. Zero complaints.
Liberated from alcohol since 12/17/2011. God willing it stays that way, one day at a time.
