Check out the Olight S2 Baton $50, very small, yet 950 lumen and BRIGHT, deep carry pocket clip too. 18650 batteries are cheap and plentiful, so I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader, but they are a great form factor for size, power, and battery life. (Even if you decide against this light, ...

Looks immaculate to me. The bolt pattern on the face is normal due to minor peening. If you want to keep on the lookout, the damage that will cause you issues is firing pin dents at the 12 o clock on the chamber edge and potentially the extractor slot at the 3 o clock. (The firing pin stop is suppos...

They've been pounding out articles almost daily since SH that make the LA or NY times look right leaning.

Agreed. I own a 22/45...only caveat is if you get a Mark III 22/45, get the Sam Lam bushing and remove the magazine disconnect. I've seen this a few times, I'm going to be getting a 22/45 "eventually" why (in your opinion) should the magazine disconnect be removed? The magazine disconnect...

Don't bother wasting your money on some bushing. Just buy a MK2 bushing and an MK2 hammer. Viola! No more magazine disconnect. I have the Volquartsen kit in my MK3 Competition. Just buy the MK2 kit, and then the MK2 hammer bushing. My MK3 Competition is unbelievable now. The internal lock crap I've...

SAM isn't the only one in the game these days, there is another guy here in the USA that makes the "BAM" bushing. The "TANDEMKROSS" one is also from the USA. (Confusing right?) http://www.rimfirecentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=472711 Pictures and pricing included. Clark and V...

It's a little Allen key bolt that sits just below the manual safety. When turned so that the screw sticks out inside the frame, it blocks the manual safety from being disabled. It's just a tiny little hole, you would almost never guess it was a "lock" just from looking at the gun. They &qu...

Can't do that on MGT. You will get a warning now! unless its a PM I was picturing more like a gun show, since there was a mention of that a couple posts above mine. I'm imagining one of those tables with a seller far too full of themselves. (This is not ALL tables at shows.) MGT (and any privately ...

The high availability of the financially gullible willing to pay the high price inflates the value of used hardware for the rest of us. Especially with a pool of buyers the size of the internet. Capitalism works all right. If anything, it's these buyers that are the issue though. Why fault the selle...

Also if you look at my pics the end of my rod doesnt even come close to hitting the end of the barrel. It's under recoil that it happens, they're pretty snappy and it tends to bounce around enough to hit it. When you reshaped the mail head di you alter the part where the sping sits. If not you may ...

KelTek does sell a metal guide rod as an accessory for $7.45 http://www.keltecweapons.com/product/p11-195s-recoil-spring-guide-steel-also-fits-pf-9/ I'm all for home gunsmithing though and I've sure yours is a bit cheaper so long as you don't count labor ;) I love to tinker with my guns. Only warnin...

I've not yet put more than a few hundred rounds through my GP100 (.357), which is for most purposes a redhawk, so I was basically looking at the same line of decisions myself. The Taurus guns I eventually decided against because of how loose all the used ones ones I picked up and looked at were. I'm...

Just to add fuel to the fire. I bought a handgun from a local prominent law professor who posts on another board. I was upfront telling him I was buying it for a gift for my returning Marine son. He told me "as long as it is a gift to a direct family member, it's not a straw purchase". Ye...

the out of state person did not say 'hey, this person will buy it and give it to me..." Ehh... if the out of state person says they want to buy it, and only after you insist that it goes through an FFL do they mention the in state person? That's a little more than allusion or suggestion, you c...

This would fall under straw buyer... If you sell a gun to somebody who openly admitted that it's not actually for them (even if they are a legal buyer), you're breaking the law. However... I don't think it's a felony for the seller, only the buyer and ultimate possessor. For dealers, the ATF will re...
