      Rock Island Tactical II 10mm Range Report and Freedom Munitions

      I recently acquired a Rock Island Tactical II in 10mm and took it to the range for the first time. I was shooting newly manufactured Freedom Munitions 180 grain 10mm ammo. This was the last of the ammo I had purchased some time ago from Freedom - I purchased some of the 9mm reloads and found...

      Century Star B first range trip - fail

      I took the recently received Star B from Century to the range for its first session this morning. I was shooting my reloads which work reliably in about out other 9mm handguns including another Star B that I purchased a few years ago and just shot a couple of weeks ago. This Star B won't cycle...

      Anyone purchase a handgun from Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore with a magazine capacity of greater than 10 rounds? Are they open to shipping the magazines to an alternate state?

      Taurus Model 82 Problem - Taurus Warranty Experience

      I bought one of the Taurus Model 82 police/security force trade-ins a few months ago. I put a hundred or so rounds through the revolver with no issues. Then I noticed that with minimal effort, the cyclinder could rotate clockwise as if the cylinder stop wasn't functioning properly or maybe the...

      Interesting Call from MD State Police Concerning a Savage 1907 Pistol

      Two years ago I bought a 1907 Savage pistol from a MD dealer. I guess they weren't familiar with the pistol as they submitted the paperwork as No Serial Number (I didn't notice this error until later when I was filing away the paperwork). It does have a serial number in a somewhat strange place...

      Glen Burnie State Police Barracks Handgun Transfer Experience - Blue versus Black Ink

      A friend and I started a regulated firearm transfer at the Glen Burnie barracks a few weeks ago. I brought a pen (blue ink) with me from my car in accordance with the Boy Scout motto of prepardeness, and insured my friend had his safety card and check in the amount of $10. We went inside and...

      Locking Block Broke on my Walther P1

      I was shooting my 1979 dated P1 with my 124 grain reloads when I noticed that the recoil pulse felt a bit different - as if the slide had locked back on an empty magazine but I knew that rounds remained in the magazine. The slide was partially back, but I wasn't able to move it forward or back...

      Finally got another 10mm - EAA Witness Elite Limited

      I've always regretted selling my Delta Elite Gold Cup in 10mm. I had cases and bullets left over, not to mention dies. I didn't want a Glock, nor another 1911 platform, so I decided to go with the CZ75 platform as imported by EAA. I picked it up last Tuesday - nice looking pistol. Feels great...

      Hi-Tech Ammunition - Anyone buy from them?

      Anyone purchase from Hi-Tech Ammo (http://hi-techammo.com)? I just received an order of 500 110 grain 30 cal bullets (to be used in my M1carbines) and 500 124 grain FMJ 9mm bullets. Both bullets are gold in color, so they have a distinctive look (not sure who makes them). If anyone has used...

      Picked up Bersa Thunder Duo Tone From Gander Mountain

      Gander Mountain put them on sale for $229, I was already heading down to OC, and it was my birthday, so I decided if they had any, and the quality seemed reasonable, that I would buy one. I looked it over and it seemed OK, so I bought it and picked it up today. It has a lot of nice features -...

      1907 Savage From Shore Sportsman

      I stopped in Shore Sportsman in Easton on my way to OC. I saw this in their display case. Condition was a bit rough - lots of surface rust, and some deep pitting as the base of the frame and cocking piece. I knew nothing about them, so I did some research and ended up buying it on my return home...

      Purchased Savage 1907 at Shore Sportsman - Charged Mailing Costs

      I purchased a Savage 1907 today at Shore Sportsman right off Route 50 in Easton. I was suprised to find that in addition to the MD State Police extortion fee, that they also charged $6 to cover mailing costs. Of all of the handguns that I have purchased in this state, I have never been charged...

      Designated Collector Status Comes in Handy - Ruger LCP and Colt Pony Pocketlite

      Picked these up from a motivated seller. The Ruger is like new - the previous owner only fired a few mags before deciding the pistol was not for him. The Colt has some superficial scratches, but the internals look good. Probably carried a lot but fired little. I'm loading up some .380 ammo, and...

      Problem with Romanian Tokarev

      I picked up a Romanian Tokarev a few months ago from SOG. There were no issues on its first range outing after firing 72 rounds successfully. This range session, however, the hammer was intermittently stopping at the half-cock position (for lack of a better description). Often, after...

      C&R Handgun Family Portrait

      With some recent additions to the C&R handgun family, I decided that a family portrait is in order. I'm more of a C&R rifle guy, but the handgun collection is coming along. Browning 1910 Browning 1910/22 Yugo contract CZ-82 Spanish Astra 600 CZ-50 Walther PP Yugo Tokarev Polish P-64...

      Star B Pistol Arrives

      Also received a Star Model B from Empire Arms the same day as my SOG P-64 (2 handgun days are always fun). This Star is one of the Bulgarian contract pistols with the fake waffenamt stamp. Nice shape - matching serials on slide and barrel. Kinda cool to have a 1911esk pistol chambered for 9mm...

      SOG Yugo Tokarev Arrives

      SOG is never my first choice of C&R goodies, but I decided to order one of their Yugo Tokarevs before they were gone. Of course I ordered too late and not only missed the extra mag deal, but also the $10 compensation for the missing mag deal. Very happy with the condition - after reading of the...

      Rock Island Tactical Range Report

      Took off today to take the Rock Island Tactical I picked up from 2A last Saturday for its first range outing (even a bad range day beats a good day at work). The only ammo I had on hand was my 185 grain Remington golden saber JHP reloads, so I wasn't sure how well they would feed. I did read...

      New Rock Island Tactical from 2A Sales

      Bought a Rock Island tactical from 2A Sales last Friday and picked it up this afternoon. Nice shop to deal with - the guys were helpful and I appreciate the laid back atmosphere. In preparation for the upcoming range trip I field stripped it to remove all of the oil and applied some Tetra...
