      Vz. 50 grip question

      Just won a Vz. 50 at auction. It has a proof mark of 1950, and appears in excellent factory condition - not refurbed at all... except... from my reading on these handguns, it appears that this particular one comes with Vz. 70 grips. They're pimpled instead of grooved. My thoughts are to pick...

      FYI: CDC Report on Lead Levels in US Adults

      From the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR): http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6247a6.htm?s_cid=mm6247a6_e Nothing particularly shocking here, but it got me thinking: Does anyone here, particularly those involved in casting/reloading, ever get tested for lead...

      1911 Magazine Base Plate Question

      All, I finally got to take my R1 out to the range. Nice gun, far more accurate than me. Out of 50 rds, I got five on a 1" bullseye at 25 ft... ft, not yds. All the rest were on my paper plate target. That's pretty good for me. Anyway, the sharp metal base plate was scraping my right hand...

      Concealed Carry Permit Process in RI - Interesting Article

      Interesting article on the vagaries of the RI concealed carry permit process, and an exercise in "shall" vs. "may." I'm originally from RI, so I read the local papers (online, of course). I have a few relatives with whom I converse about these types of issues. I tell them, "Trust me, RI is...

      Manufacturing low capacity magazines to accomodate MD law

      I was thinking about this last night. Gun manufacturers, in order to market certain handguns in MD, will soon need to decrease the magazine capacity to 10 rounds or less. It seems to me that the easiest way for a manufacturer to restrict magazine capacity in order to be MD compliant is to use...

      Sig (GSG) 1911-22 FTF and Stovepipe Question

      I was at the range this past weekend with a new Sig 1911-22. I wanted a plinker that could serve as a 1911 trainer as well. I had read that there is a bit of a break-in period with this particular firearm. I was using Remington Golden Bullets, 36 g, hollow point, 1280 fps. I figured it...

      Signs of a return to normalcy? Magazine prices/availability

      Or just a sign that people are worn out by the ridiculous prices? I just received a shipment of 17-round mags for my SR9c from Ruger. I placed the order on 02 MAR 2013, and it arrived on 24 APR 2013. When I ordered them, the same magazines were going for upwards of $80 on Gun Broker (GB)...
