Hi! I’m new to this site and forum. I hope I’m not breaking any forum rules, but I need some advice. My husband used to be an avid reloader of several different calibers. He has severe arthritis in his hands now, so he can no longer enjoy shooting or reloading. We already sold most of his reloading stuff, but he still has a large amount of equipment and some brass left. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to liquidate this type of stuff? If I leave it up to our daughter to clean out after we both pass away, she will just throw everything in the trash. I’d rather see other shooters get some ..read more

Hello all. I am trying to figure out the stock mainspring weight on a full size ( 5") 1911 .45acp made by Kimber. I have some very conflicting info. Wolff lists it as 21lbs I thought most 1911's had a 23lb Kimber customer service says they are and were 18lb? As you can tell from me writing this post, I don't trust the customer service people at Kimber at all. 18lbs sounds low for a .45 acp, but I guess it is possible. That sounds more like a 9mm MS? Does anyone have real data for me? Ty Rich ..read more

I am currently looking at YouTube reviews for both the S&W M&P9 2.0 and Beretta APX in 9mm. I already own a S&W SD9VE, so that would give the M&P9 2.0 the edge as far as familiarity. I am essentially wanting the next step up in quality, so stick with what is more familiar to me, or is the Beretta genuinely worth the extra cash ..read more

My daughter is working on her shooting to move towards her CCW license. She has shot 22 rifles and AR’s in the past and done ok. Those are hard to CCW. So, without my guidance, she bought a Springfield Hellcat. She liked the longer mags for a better grip and shorter mags for carry. It has a decent, but probably 6.5lb trigger. When she shoots, she either stokes the trigger too fast or too slow. This combines with some weird grip loosening which causes the front sight to drop like 2 foot POI shift at 7 yards. Oddly, my 45 auto 1911’s trigger allowed her to hit a paper plate, but it looked li ..read more

Just picked up a factory new 3032 Tomcat (Product Code J320126) which has a very loose-fitting/wiggly barrel when 'tipped-up'. With minor hand movement, barrel will rock back and forth which makes me think there may be in issue. If not, I suppose I would've expected slighter higher fit and finish from Beretta. Lockup is tight when barrel is locked into receiver/pushed down. Probably would've simply figured they're all like this, however my older .25 Model 21A has absolutely no play whatsoever when the barrel is in the 'tip-up' condition. Solid as a rock and feels significantly more refined ov ..read more

I've just purchased a 1983 vintage left-handed Remington 1100 with a 21'5" slug barrel. It's going to be my new "bedside" gun loaded with #1 Buckshot. I've been debating on whether I should add a 2 round magazine extension. taking capacity from 5 to 7 rounds. What do you think? Would you add the extension ..read more
