      Remington 870 rusting?

      I bought a new Remington 870 Express that, even with lube and maintenance, started showing rust after just a few months. Then I read that this was normal for this gun. I cleaned it up as best I could, sold it, and bought a Mossberg 500 Persuader. And now a year later, it's like new with no rust.

      Which guns have bruised your shoulder?

      When lead shot was still ok to use for goose hunting, I'd use Winchester 3" 1 7/8 oz waterfowl loads in my Browning Auto 5. The Auto 5 was great but I didn't realize how great until one day I switched guns with my son and used his Remington 870 with the same load. Holy Sh**! Two shots and I...

      W231 Comperable

      Have used Clays and couldn't wait to burn through the pound that I had. It doesn't meter very well and too many reports of pressure spikes. Universal Clays is better. For standard/light loads in 9mm, 40S&W or 38 Special, I stick with WW231, HP38 (same as 231), Accurate #2, Ramshot Zip...

      O'Malley signing SB-281 today

      History has shown that revolution can be a healthy thing for a country. Maybe it's time. Is the ammo and reloading components shortage really just a shortage due to people buying everything up or are there other things at work here? Are issues like the MSP wait times for restricted firearms...

      M&P 9mm Trigger

      +1 for the Apex Trigger Kit. I've been running the Duty/Carry kit for a year now in my M&P 40 and it's buttery smooth with a clean, light break.

      MSP wait times for handgun approval

      Just picked up my Kahr CM9 from The Gun Shop. Sorry Guys, but I was in such a hurry to get out of there, I didn't think to ask what dates came back today. Mine was 1/24

      MSP wait times for handgun approval

      I called them yesterday. It wasn't Bob I spoke to but the younger guy. He said he'd call me when it comes in and that they've just seen a few from 1/23 come in. I'll probably call again on Thursday or Friday. These dealers are in a tough spot but, under the circumstances, they need to be...

      MSP wait times for handgun approval

      Tomorrow will be day 40 for me. I think everyone on this forum has been more than patient. I personally have been very patient, but now my patience is wearing thin. This wait is ridiculous. Paperwork filed on 1/24 at The Gun Shop.

      SMITH & WESSON Porn

      I had a rough/gritty trigger on my M&P 40 that didn't go away. I bought and installed the Apex Trigger Kit. It made a world of difference. pid35.htmlhttps://apextactical.com/store/product-info.php?pid35.html

      .357 Revolvers- S&W 686 or Ruger GP100

      I've owned 3 Ruger revolvers: Super Blackhawk, Redhawk and a Security Six. All were super tough, reliable revolvers. I still have the Security Six which was the predecessor of the GP100. With that said, I bought a S&W 686 Plus about 5 years ago after comparing it to the GP100 they had in...

      MSP wait times for handgun approval

      Please let us know what sellers are dropping the ball here. Waiting for MSP is bad enough.
