      Of course machines (especially guns) can have a pesonality

      I just got back from the range. I went there with two guns and 4 boxes of 9mm ammo; each box had different bullet weights and/or loads. It turns out that my Beretta Nano (9mm) really is only happy eating 124 grain bullets (but any powder load). It will have many stove pipes and failures to...

      Question of Principles

      I bought an "original new old stock" barrel cleaner for my luger off of gunbroker.com. When it arrived it was obviously a very bad repop of the part and didn't even fit the holster. The seller alleges he's sold several of them and had no complaints ( Several of an incredibly rare part?)...

      What is the most chicken$#$% reason for a ticket?

      I just got a ticket out on I-495. I got picked out of a line of traffic right at the I-494 & I-95 split. MY crime? The dealer installed license plate frame covered the lower 3/4 inch of the Maryland Plate with his name. Its that part of the plate that says www.maryland.gov or Treasure the...

      Bad Vendor Buymilsurp.com

      I ordered a "complete" spring kit from them and it turned out complete meant "complete less a couple of important springs" More important, when I wrote them an e-mail complaining about the lack, all I got back was a single real snarky sentence "I don't see the missing spring listed on the...

      Striker fired versus hammer fired guns?

      Beretta is making a big deal about the fact than its new APX is a full sized striker fired pistol rather than hammer fired. I have a Beretta Nano ( a striker fired gun) and I hate the long , very long, trigger pull. Will someone please school me? Just what are the advantages of a...

      I need a Lawyer

      Got my formal denial on a Maryland CCL today. I thought I had a pretty good and substantial reason. I also already have CCL licenses from Virginia, Utah and Florida. I want to appeal it but I also think I need someone who's been there and done that before. I am willing to pay to acquire my...

      1911 Recoil spring?

      I just realized that I've run about 2K rounds through my favorite 1911. Is there some recommended standard of when to replace the recoil spring or other serious gun maintenance?

      Need some Bound Book advice

      I bought a Walther PPK on GunBroker. Had some correspondence with the seller. Sent him a check and got the gun about a week later. So I entered the transaction in my C & R Bound Book. Today I realized I did not have any documentation regarding the seller's side of the transaction. So I...

      I can stop any time I want to

      I just realized how many pistols I bought this year (5) and how much money I spent( much tooo much) and realize that I need to find Gun Collectors Anonymous. But they all are are SO DAMN PRETTY! (My precious......)

      I forgive my wife

      I decided to forgive my wife for giving me an old used gun for Christmas. I had my new (to me) C96 Mauser Broomhandle down at the NRA Range today. It was, literally, exciting to shoot a 100 year old gun. (Mine was made in 1912.) That 7.63 Mauser cartridge is a surprisingly peppy bullet...

      A New Broom

      I realize that most of the members here are into long guns and you’re welcome to them. BUT, to me, none of your rifles (except, perhaps, the Garand) have the cachet of my new (to me) C96 Mauser Broomhandle. It was the first successful semi-automatic pistol. It was carried in two world...

      HAPPY THANKSGIVING

      Sure! there's a lot of $%##, injustice and unhappiness going on! But let's, today, count our blessings and be thankful for them. I haven't go time to list all of my blessings but they are NUMEROUS!!

      Guns you regret

      I bought a Beretta Nano because I wanted a concealed carry gun and wanted to support Beretta as they socked it to Maryland. ( I honestly think they had an impact on the election) Then I discovered it had a long "gritty" trigger. I'm not fond of double action pistols anyhow but this Nano...

      Fortress Training

      I just finished two days (16 hours) of Maryland Concealed Carry License with Fortress Training. It was pretty intense. The first day was all classrooms. We discussed the laws and a number of real (Pinkerton) and imagined cases regarding shootings and the basis for them, as well as the...

      What is G&S?

      O.K. I've poked around this site for a while and I've used a couple of web search engines. Everybody seems to assume we all know what G&S is. I don't. And I'm curious enough to endure various snarky comments to find out. What is G&S?

      Frog Lube

      I just ordered two new bottles of Frog Lube. I just plain love it. Its a cleaner, lubricant and polish and it smells good, too. I've been using it for over a year on a pretty wide assortment of pistols but I'd love to hear from more experienced shooters on this forum on why they like/don't...

      Let's bash the NRA Range!

      O.K. This forum has taken shots at Maryland Small Arms Range (I admit I was one of those critics) and then we had a go at Gilbert’s. So let’s complete the set by throwing some venom at the NRA range. I’ve seen some snarky comments about how they “sit on your shoulder”. I, personally, have no...

      How do you clean a bore snake?

      After a couple of hundred trips down the barrel of my 1911, I decided it was time to clean up my bore snake. I put it in a small mesh bag and gave it a whirl in the washing machine. All it did was tie itself into a small ball and not get very clean. I would welcome advice on how to get it...

      I'm a Bad Person

      During the divorce 16 years ago I vowed I would never say anything bad about my ex-wife. After all, I had contributed my full share to the breakup of our marriage and there were the kids to think about. Now, 16 years later I have built a new, much better, life and the kids are all grown and...

      I've never fired a shotgun

      I see several classes for "Women on Target" Shotgun Classes. I, unfortunately am a part of that oppressed minority - I am a male. Also, I did not have a father or uncle who was an avid hunter. Does anyone offer shotgun classes for men? I have considered getting a shotgun for home defense...
