      1932 Colt Official Police 38spl

      When I acquired this revolver I didn’t pay much attention to the grips, which I took to be faux mother of pearl. Now I’m thinking they may be real. How do I go about finding out?

      Pellet Trap for SIG M17

      Would appreciate recommendations for an indoor pellet trap for a SIG M17. I’ve been shooting it outdoors, but the sound is too loud for my neighborhood. I will be shooting in my basement at about 25 feet, so the sound is not a problem, but pellet stopping is critical. It fires .177 pellets at...

      M1911 Barrel replacement

      I have a “beater” M1911 made in January 1913 that I would like to shoot occasionally, but not with the original barrel. As the photo shows, there is a slight profile difference between it and later barrels. Note the smooth transition of the original on the top and the clear machining “cut” on...

      1911 Sear Spring Tension

      The grip safety on an almost new 1911 was loose and non-functional. When I did some trouble shooting I discovered that the sear spring tine providing the tension for the grip safety was almost flat. It was an easy fix to bend it back to the proper shape, but how could it have been flattened...

      How long is the MSP Licensing handgun PIN valid?

      I received a PIN from MSP licensing a few months back for a planned handgun purchase that I never made. Would it still be valid or should I just go on-line and submit a new application?

      Pacific Canvas and Leather Sale

      Over the years I've bought several quality leather and canvas items from this supplier. Today I received an e-mail announcing a 50% off going out of business sale due to a fire at their main manufacturer's facility. If you have an interest in holsters, cheek pads, rifle cases, slings, etc...

      Replacement Sights for a Tisas Zig PC1911

      I've had my Tisas for about two years and want to replace the Kensight front and rear sights. I use it for target shooting at 25-75 feet. The sights were installed by the Zenith custom shop when I bought it. They tell me they used a Novak cut. I don't need night sights, just something adjustable...

      Do I have to have suppressor paperwork in my possession when I use it?

      A couple of years ago I jumped through the hoops, waited, and took possession of a suppressor for a .22 pistol. I've used it a few times, but not recently, so I'm ready to take it out again. Question: Do I have to have my paperwork with me when I take it to the range?

      Tisas 1911 Recoil Sprng Question

      The recoil spring in my commander size Tisas 1911PCS is very heavy - about 23# according to the literature. It is also a captive two spring system that may be proprietary. I want to replace it with a 16# system. I tried the 1911forum, but received no response when I asked about a source for the...

      Is this AR-15 Upper GTG in Maryland?

      I have a pre 2013 ban lower that I want to put a 16" carbine upper on. Everything I've been able to find tells me this one is OK in Maryland, but I wanted to run it by the MDS experts for a sanity check. (Yes. Yes I did use MDS, experts and sanity in the same sentence):)...

      Is it me or is it my Glock?

      I took my Glock 19 to the range today for the first time in quite a while. I intended to re-zero the Viridian laser. I started by shooting at 25 feet using the stock Ameriglo sights, which employ a fiber optic front sight. I used a sand bag for support. My shots grouped OK, but they were...
