    What do you think about Savage getting into the 1911 market?

    Another firearm manufacturer offering their version of a 1911? Isn't that like another baker offering cupcakes? Its popular, parts and forgings are all over the place, the patents are up and the design is public domain, its sorta like its to cheap and easy to pass up making your own version....

    New FN Pistols

    Few have been tougher on Sig's P320 than myself, but judging by the numbers in the news, most of them don't have issues, the number of uncommanded firings is very small, small fractions of 1%, they have fixed the drop fire issue, its just enough it something that can't be ignored..... ...and...

    New FN Pistols

    "Tactical" is the Pro-2A term for the Anti-Gunners "Assault Weapon".... It means it has meaningless bells and whistles on the pistol, at least for most people.... ....for the most part its an "appearance" package.... Sure, if you want to go through what is necessary for a suppressor, the...

    Springfield Armory XD-M Elite OSP in MAGPUL OD Green Cerakote

    A quick follow up.... I put 60 rounds through it today... The trigger is improved, but still heavier than I hoped... The sear seems to have loosened up and there is no additional friction... So tonight I swapped out the reduced power spring in the trigger for the even lighter competition spring...

    Powder River Precision Drop In Trigger Kits

    A follow up, I installed the Powder River Precision Trigger Kit for the XD-M Elite in my XD-M Elite OSP 10mm. Did the same as the XD-M .45, kept the OEM striker spring. Replaced all the rest of the parts opting for the reduced power spring and not the competition springs.... The replacement...

    New FN Pistols

    I have five .45 ACP's, three of them 1911's.... I really like my one 10mm, and I like FN's but also only have one of them.... So yes, a FN 510 may be in my future, looks like the first few released sold out right away, and there is going to be a wait.... The deciding factor is going to be the...

    New FN Pistols

    I went to the range today and shot my new Desert Eagle in .50 AE.... Then shot my XD-M Elite 10mm and my XD-M .45ACP.... After shooting the Desert Eagle in .50 AE, the 10mm and .45 ACP felt like shooting a .22lr...

    New FN Pistols

    I have the SA XD-M Elite OSP 10mm, I really like it. I just installed a powder river trigger kit, and Cerakoted it MAGPUL OD Green. I have an FNX-45 Tactical as well, and it is the most reliable and accurate pistol in my collection. I have about 600 rounds through it and only one single...

    Lisa Marie Presley, the singer and only child of Elvis, has died at age 54

    He died in a bathtub in Paris, yes. There is mystery around it, because there was no autopsy and he was buried right away, with very few actually sighted his body. His history with drugs certainly raised the speculation he O.D.'ed. But eye witness reports were he was not using drugs heavily at...

    Lisa Marie Presley, the singer and only child of Elvis, has died at age 54

    Her mother is still alive, at 77 years old and looks like she is in her 40's... ...but Lisa Marie looked like a female version of her father, give her a man's haircut and she could pass for her father, so its possible there may be traits she inherited from her father... Yes, Elvis died early...

    Cleaning rods

    For my Rifles I have a single piece fiberglass rod, for my pistols a brass single piece rod. I read the edge of the segmented rods create the perfect ridge to damage the bore, for that reason multi-segmented cleaning rods are not as good a single piece rod. Running my finger down a...

    EOTECH EFLX Red Dot Sight (Unboxing)

    6 MOA Dot is easier and faster to find in the window, but obscures more of the target, at 25 yards it may be covering more of the center ring... 3 MOA Dot is more accurate, simply because you can see more of the target behind it, but it might take longer to find in the window.... The size of...

    EOTECH EFLX Red Dot Sight (Unboxing)

    That will be interesting, I have an EOTECH 512 on my AR. While understand the technology and how they are different, I don't have enough experience to really see how the holographic is that much better than the red dot, in the sense it will perform better and allow you to be more accurate...

    Springfield Armory XD-M Elite OSP in MAGPUL OD Green Cerakote

    Did it myself. Cerakote, it is important to lay it down in a single thin coat, and being an amateur using cheap tools, I still am doing a less than perfect job. I've done 4 pistols and a dozen small parts for other pistol... I've got the prep right, so the coats are adhering and adequate...

    Springfield Armory XD-M Elite OSP in MAGPUL OD Green Cerakote

    So Springfield Armory has a Sportsman Warehouse Exclusive XD-M Elite OSP 10mm in Cerakote MAGPUL OD Green (H-232). I couldn't get one, but got a regular XD-M Elite OSP 10mm locally. So I Cerakoted in MAGPUL OD Green (H-232) and went a little further, I cerakoted the frame as well as the slide...

    EOTECH EFLX Red Dot Sight (Unboxing)

    A shot of my XD-M Elite OSP 10mm with an EOTECH EFLX and the SA Optics Height Sights installed (the one's SA Customer Service Sent me for $25).... Just tall enough to co-witness / act as back-up sights... The EFLX has a window as big as the Deltapoint Pro (The EFLX is more square though, while...

    M1A1

    I was going to suggest, there are "tactical" stocks for the M1A that would provide the flexibility of the picatinny rail, not sure if the OP wanted to keep an original wood stock look. I swear looking at Maryland's Gun Ban law from a few years ago, the few M1A's in modern tactical stocks is the...
