      Your Doctor Can Take Your Guns

      I just received this information from a cousin from Indiana. This type of questioning by the VA is of great concern to me. Especially, since if you are a veteran, the medical professional is supposedly required to report certain answers to these questions to the Department of Homeland...

      .22 1911 build

      It appears that RIA (Armscor) is manufacturing a 1911-style .22. It is the XT-22 (or SP-22). According to info I heard from this year's Shot Show, it will be all steel. Although the receiver will be cut down (to allow the .22 to cycle properly). rbart48

      First Airgun

      My first airgun was a Daisy BB gun was in 1955 I got my first Daisy BB gun for Christmas in 1955. I was 7 years old. I believe it was a model 102. It definitely was not the Red Ryder model because several of my friends had those; I was jealous. Shot at a bunch of squirrels at my...

      Break-in procedure for a new barrel

      Thanks, I guess I'll just figure it out myself with my next new gun. I'll let the gun tell me when to clean it. rbart48

      I Guess 9mm Isn't "Tactical" Enough

      Being the centennial year for the 1911, I was reading an article about John M. Browning on the Browning website. The author of the article gave some historical perspective about the reason why the Army decided on the .45 ACP cartridge. The article pointed out that after the brutal attacks in...

      Break-in procedure for a new barrel

      Okay Shooters, I have owned a couple of new guns in my time but I have never gone through such an elaborate procedure that Browning has on their website. This is in an article under the News tab. Comments and critiques regarding this procedure would be greatly appreciated. Question: What...

      Saw a pic of a sexy 1911 handgun and it perked my interests enough to bring me here!

      Welcome to the forum. I live in Howard County (Columbia) but I grew up in Rockville. Graduated from Richard Montgomery a few years before you; 1966. Make that a couple of decades before you... I agree with your attraction to the 1911 pistol. Depending on your reason for having a...

      How many rounds of rimfire do you have?

      I only have about 900 rounds, about 350 of which is 25 years old or older. The newest 550 are the Federal bulk pack from Wal-Mart which I plan to use when I get my new pistol. I almost bought some of the 325 round packs yesterday, but I was looking for a Lansky knife sharpening kit. I got it...

      Hey from new member on the shore!

      Kman, Welcome to the forum. I'm from Howard County, but still think of the Eastern Shore as home; graduated from Salibury University. However, it was known as Salibury State College when I was there -- 1966 - 1970. What type of handgun do you shoot? rbart48

      Micro Groove rifling

      I have two Marlin rifles; a Model 80DL with peep sights (my first range gun) and a Model 989-M2 (my first autoloader fun gun). Never had any problems with the Micro-Groove rifling. Both of the guns were accurate and easy to care for. I got the 80DL when I was 13 (1962) and the 989-M2 in my...

      RIA XT22/ Armscor SP22

      Good to have 1911 22 alternatives I agree, Rock Island/Amscor may have a winner with this 22 cal 1911. Although, it does look a bit strange. I suppose that an all-steel slide would have to be reduced to be able to cycle with only 22LR. I'm also a bit concerned about what the price will...

      Beretta neos recall

      Not all Neos pistols are involved That Beretta Neos recall has been going on for a while. Apparently, it involves the initial style of firing pin that they used. It depends on when you bought the gun (new) whether it is subject to recall. Go to the Beretta site indicated above and you will...

      Greetings from Columbia in HoCo

      Since I decided during the 2010 election cycle that I needed to get back to recreational shooting again, I figured I should sign up at some of the gun/shooting forums. I was very happy to find one that is dedicated to Maryland Shooters. I have a couple of 22 rifles and a WWII 6.5 mm...
