  1. Who has used a Boresnake for gun cleaning and if so, what do you think as compared to traditional cleaning methods? It seems like a fairly easy method to keep the barrel clean, but I wonder how quickly the boresnake gets to dirty to use.
  2. Another question I'm confused on...My wife's dad purchased a gun in GA at a dealer, we were there with him, he filled out all of the paperwork for transfer/background check etc. Anyway, he gave it to us and we are in TN, is this handgun legal for us?
  3. Just something I noticed here. Canik mags fit and function in a PPQ. So, you can have an eighteen or twenty round PPQ.
  4. Hello everybody, new to the forum so I apologize if this is the wrong place for it. I've decided it is time to have more than just home protection and my wife and I are going to get our carry permits. However, 10 years ago I was charged with class E felony theft (>500 <1000) because I sold a landscape trailer. Its a long story but basically my 15 acre property had an old beat up trailer on it that I used for months and ended up selling. Well turns out it was somebody else's and I took the fall for it. Anyway, I agreed to a judicial diversion and was able to complete a 1 year probation period and then had the record completely expunged. Now, I have run an FBI and TBI fingerprint check on myself before I got into nursing school and it all showed up clear after the expungement. I have since had no problems with my nursing school or anything else, and this was the only trouble I have ever been in. So my question is, am I eligible for a carry permit? Also, if not, am I still able to have a gun for home protection?

    Girsan MC1911C

    Anyone have any experience with these? https://palmettostatearmory.com/eaa-corp-girsan-mc1911c-commander-45-acp-pistol-blk-390070.html
  6. Colt is reintroducing the Python. https://www.colt.com/detail-page/colt-python-425
  7. I am at the point where I want to start carrying a 1911. I have owned a couple lower end models over the years and just prefer them to anything else I’ve owned. I’ve decided on a 9mm, probably one of the Dan Wesson’s like the Guardian. My question is, do you own them to shoot at the range or do you actually carry one every day? I’m not really asking about how they carry, I am good with that, more about if your fine paying the price for a gun that will see a lot of wear.

    Ruger 57

    I really like the Ruger LCPII in .22lr that was just released but WOW , I just saw that Ruger released ANOTHER pistol in the 5.7 with 20 rd magazines. Pretty dang neat ! https://www.ruger.com/micros/57/
  9. I’ve been wanting to get more formal training and be more proficient with a handgun. I go to the range and shoot and can hit targets, but want to do more Training than just standing and hitting paper. Anyone have a recommendation on who in the hendersonville area does that? I thought about guns and leather, I’ve signed up before but they never called me to come to the classes, kind of put a bad taste in my mouth.

  11. TGO, wondered if you could help me out with this. I've been looking at used 43's and some advertise as gen 3 and some gen 4. Were there multiple iterations of the 43 and if so what's the difference? Gracias and happy New year.
  12. Now this is something, tell me what yall think. How is it not a ATF no no? https://stdgun.com/s333-thunderstruck/
  13. Went to the gun show at Lebanon this AM. Bought my better half, a new S&W airweight 38 Special +P. actually I traded my Walther PPQ for it. Carried it home, presented it to her ( complete surprise ). She loved it. Now all I can hear is, " when are we going shooting", LOL. Another satisfied customer! Nice little revolver, fits her well, rubber ? grips.
  14. Of the last seven handguns I have acquired, only one has been a full sized or service pistol, a Taurus Tracker Model 627 .357 Mag. The rest have either been compacts, subcompacts or mouse guns. What's the last service or full sized pistol you bought? What was the last compact or subcompact pistol you bought? Which came first? And GO!
  15. https://www.wtvy.com/content/news/Taurus-gun-facility-will-bring-300-jobs-to-Bainbridge-564358211.html 300+ jobs too. I cant wait to own one that says MADE IN THE USA on it
  16. I visited the range and put about 250 rounds through the 92X Performance. The trigger measures about 6.5# in DA and 3.3 # in SA. Weight of the gun without a magazine is 2 lbs, 13 oz. The reliability was perfect with both included magazines. I was shooting reloads, 115gr Brazos coated LRN atop 4.6gr Titegroup. Accuracy of this load in this gun was mediocre, about 2" at 15 yards. I didn't have any other ammo with me to test with. I don't know if they had any special accuracy requirements for this gun; I did detect slight movement of the muzzle when the barrel is in battery, so that's not great. Shooting impressions: Sights provided a good picture. I'm going to nitpick the front fiber sight a bit and say that the fiber was placed higher than I like. I'm used to Dawsons, which are easier to align vertically. I found myself looking for the top of the black front sight to get alignment for precise shots, only to find glowing dot there. So I'll probably replace that. The rear sight was easy to adjust, I had to dial it a few clicks up and over to get my hits where I wanted. I disliked the "gas pedal" style takedown lever. It's only large enough to get maybe half the tip of my thumb onto it, and the edges and corner are far too sharp for comfort. I'm going to look into swapping it out for a standard 92 part. I shot most of the time with my thumb underneath it. I also wasn't fond of the slide stop's angled tab. Its proximity to the safety lever and its downward rake of the tab meant it was more difficult to find and hit than it should have been. I'm not really sure why they didn't use a standard 92 part; maybe they were worried that people who ride the safety would accidentally hold it down with the tip of their thumb. The thumb safety was OK: it had a good tension on and off, and the extended "shelf" was easily reached by the thumb, although I would have preferred it to extend further back. Beretta says they will offer 3 different sizes of safety lever, but I haven't been able to find out what they look like yet. The safety did make slide manipulation a bit more of a challenge than I'm used to on 92s. Between the location of the serrations (low on the slide) and the prominent safety levers, it makes grabbing the "sweet spot" more of a challenge -- if you grab too low, your fingers will be blocked by the safety. I'm glad they included forward serrations, they're probably going to see a lot of use on this gun. The frame serrations were a bit of a help, but not what I'd call sharp enough to be really useful, and the slick nickel/tin finish wasn't helpful here. I would skateboard tape over the frontstrap if I were going to do much competing with it... not that such a heavy gun is all that hard to hang onto in 9mm, but I like my grip to be locked in. The built-in mag funnel was well done. No lanyard loop, and it looks like you can get to the mainspring housing pin without taking the grips off. I thought the beavertail might prove to be a problem due to its sharp corners, but that was pretty much a non-issue.
  17. With Glock's announcement of their new .22, it got me to thinking about understudy guns. Basically, that would be guns that look and feel like full size centerfire defensive guns, but in the much cheaper and easier to shoot .22 caliber. It simply makes for more trigger time with a gun that feels like what you carry. I'm a long time fan of this concept. I've said many times that my S&W Model 18 is the gun that taught me to properly shoot a DA revolver. Its my favorite revolver and goes to the range more than any other gun I own. My favorite carry revolvers are also S&W K-frames. Some years ago I picked up a Ciener Platinum Cup .22 conversion unit for the 1911 at a great price. I became so fond of it that I built up a bare frame to mount it on permanently. A year or so ago I bought a Walther PPK/S .22 and enjoy shooting it. Not too long ago I picked up a LNIB .22 conversion for my Sig P226. Honestly, I've gotten so that I shoot the .22 more than the 9mm. Anybody else have an understudy gun? How do you feel about the idea?
  18. I just purchased a used Smith and Wesson 3913, in decent condition. It is not the LS, but it is DA/SA. Overall, this is a great little gun, and I think it is worthy of replacing my M&P PC Shield as my carry gun but I want to get the bugs worked out first. I think it needs a little, hopefully minor work and I am hoping someone here might have some quick answers for me. (1) Failure to return to battery It looked like someone did not use it for a while and it needed a clean and lube. I shot it prior to the clean and lube, and I had intermittent failure to return to battery issues where I just had to gently push the slide about 1/8 inch to continue firing. I did a clean and lube with Lucas oil. My BF also thinks the feed ramp may need some smoothing. I took it back to the range after the cleaning, and no more issues with failure to return to battery. I am not sure if the clean/lube was the only problem. I am going to get a new recoil spring. I am hoping that I really do not need to do much with the feed ramp. (2) Take up in Single Action mode The Take up in SA mode is gritty, not smooth, almost feels like it is "hitching". If I shoot and do not let the SA trigger back out, no issues. If I shoot DA, no issues. It is only if I let the trigger take up all the way out before firing in SA mode, that I get that gritty, not smooth feeling. Any ideas of what this might be? Also, the safety feels a little gritty. I am wondering if I just take the Lucas Extreme Duty Contact Cleaner to the trigger assembly and safety, if that will do the trick. I am not sure if I should do this without removing the firing pin, and that looks like quite the project on this gun. Any ideas, feedback, are welcomed.
  19. Rumor has it the debut of a 9mm EZ is slated for the 12th. Any official scuttlebutt?
  20. A Walther PPK/S 22LR for $229.99. Cool! https://palmettostatearmory.com/walther-ppk-s-22-lr-pistol-black-5030300.html?trk_msg=VIPLAS84AQI4H3U54V3DUCP7IC&trk_contact=J0O6F96VK99PH79FM828GOBMF8&trk_sid=5GKTRAC3L610TNEQ89BVDS8K74&utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=https%3a%2f%2fpalmettostatearmory.com%2fwalther-ppk-s-22-lr-pistol-black-5030300.html&utm_campaign=Daily+Deal&utm_content=5%3a00+Email

    Glock 17 Mags

    I want to buy a couple of 17 round mags for my Glock 17, which is a Gen 2. Current production mags should work with that Generation, correct?
  22. I have been getting into .22’s more because I think I will shoot them more, I also have most of what I need in centerfires. After a lot of research I decided on either the 7” Smith & Wesson Model 41 or the Ruger Mark IV Competition model. After advertising in several places, I didn’t find any luck in finding anything used. So I’m about to make a decision on new. This would be a range toy, target gun. It would never be carried in the woods, or anywhere else for that matter. I wouldn’t even need a holster for it. The S&W Model 41 is the Grand Daddy of the rimfires. It has an excellent reputation and although it costs a lot; I could probably get my money back if I decided to sell it. The old ones are bringing (or at least asking) more than new. But this gun is still being made and is available for $1030 plus a transfer new. The reviews I have read by those that have shot both say the Ruger Mark IV Competition is every bit as accurate as the Model 41. It is a highly respected firearm and since Ruger changed the disassembly/assembly issues; it is the one I’m leaning towards. I can buy t for $560 plus a transfer. I love me some Smith & Wesson’s and I have the cash for the 41, but I think by going with the Ruger I will have a high quality target .22 and can use the money left over for the single action cowboy gun I don’t have yet. What say you?
  23. I’ve been playing around with the PTR 9CT and I think I found the set up I like. Want to see what you guys think. Eventually hoping to add a can. -PTR 9CT Pistol -SB Tactical Folding Brace -Trijicon MRO with Geissele Super Precision Mount -Inforce WML -BCM MLOK Handstop Anyone else rockin’ an MP5 Clone platform?
  24. Any good realistic ideas on what it could be ? I'd like to say it would be a very slim compact 45acp like the Shield 45 . But as Glock has done here lately it may be something stupid like a new 43X with a stippled magazine base plate.
  25. I’m thinking about a cowboy gun. I’m looking at the New Ruger Vaquero 5.5” .357 (5106) From the picture on their web site it looks like this is the crappy flat blue, like on everything nowadays and not a good high gloss blue. Is that a good assumption to make?
