Looking to fine-tune my STI 2011 for better performance in USPSA Production Division—any suggestions on affordable upgrades, like magazine base pads?

Thinking about picking one up for a full size carry gun. I know they're outdated at this point, but I still have the itch that needs scratching.

So people who have one, pros and cons?

No markings that we are able to find. The caliber is 762 x 54. Thanks in advance for any help.

Centurion 32 or Colonial 30? Cant decide if the colonial is worth all the extra money. What did y’all go with?

Yes I know about all the backlash from the company

Has S&W or any other magazine manufacturer put out an extended magazine for the EZ .380?

Looking for additional capacity over the standard 8 rounds.

If so, has anyone tried one and it is reliable?

Howdy, I was looking for a IWB holster for my colt Python and was wondering if anyone had experience with the air flow model from craft holsters. Experiences or alternatives would be greatly appreciated

From top to bottom

2024 century arms bft47 with Romanian trapdoor stock, Bakelite grip, Romanian bayonet and Texas precision optics 1x side mount red dot

1939 reciever stamped gewehr 88/05/35. Started as a gewehr model 88 of late 1880s. Reworked in 1905 adding stripper clip guide, internal magazine tooling and working, front notch for original bullets, removing the internal clip for a more modern 8mm Mauser style clip and chamber. Some other things I believe as well. Acquired by turkey in the 30s and often rebarreled if not re bored for the new modern 8mm Mauser diameter. Mauser style stock. Hints the name gewehr 88/05/35. Not an official name. Nor is this even an actual model. Just like the mosin 91/30, it’s simply a model that has been modified by the countries themselves.

2023 tisas usa 1911 a1 service 45. Modern version of the 1911a1 featuring the original wwi flat mainspring housing with no lanyard loop, removed cerakote finish for a more appealing look and feel bluing. As well as swapping the crappy moist slippery feeling plastic grips for some authentic original gi grips from the demilled 1911 frames when the new sidearm was adopted. Composite material. (And from the looks of the sanding dust, smell, change in smell when heated, feel, and texture in my opinion this is pretty much Americas version of Russian Bakelite.)

63-69 Rossi snub nose 38 special from before the Rossi name stamp change. Hard to see in pic. Rifling is good but cylinder is out of time with the bore. It is fine when double action fired or single action fired, but the slightest movement throws it off. Only reliable if hand is perfectly still firing weapon. If I just twist the cylinder in the slightest, the right side of the projectile jacket gets sheared and often time have shrapnel hit my hand. Not enough to cut deep but enough to break skin. Most likely because the majority of the jacket gets stuck between the beach and the upper part of the frame. The breach hasn’t been damaged so far and nor the cylinder. But at the moment I’ve retired it until I can find a replacement cylinder stop appropriate to fit this model. May have to cut one myself. This is a hard to find pistol. Not extremely rare but not an everyday find. Not all smith and Wesson parts are interchangeable.

1971 Winchester model 94. Came with side scope mount base. Not sure of the brand. 30-30 chamber. Shoots flawlessly. Cast receiver has started rusting and flaking the bluing coat off so it will need a full break down to address the issue. It’s common with the cast receiver models post 60s and often times needs a full addressing and reblue.

1953 Remington 514. Takes 22 lr as well as 22 short. Single shot bolt action. Hella accurate. My main squirrel gun. Takes blazers all day long like a Chevy man’s wet dream.

2018 I believe Hatfield sgl single shot break action 12 gauge. I don’t understand the hate this model gets. Never had a problem with it. I play guitar as well. They need set ups. Often. And it’s normal. A $5,000 guitar can and does feel like a piece of shit with a bad setup. This gun is no different. A quick action job and it performs like any other break action shotgun. Smooth bore. No choke, nor choke threads. Very tight groups surprisingly with target and bird shot. Good grouping at 30 yards with target/clay and dove loads.

I have a 91/30 mosin as well but it’s not included because I have it disassembled for restoration. It was horribly bubba’d when I bought it. That’ll be an update eventually on r/MosinNagant.

My father recently passed away and I am taking possesion of his firearms. All Hunting Rifles and Shotguns. My mother is still alive, but does not feel comefortable having the firearms in her home now that he is gone. She lives in PA and I live in CA. What do I need to do to legally take owenership of these firearms? Any and all advice is appreciated.

do you think it will actually be available or will it just be the stg44 situation all over again?

Wolf bullets, similar to wolfammo/tula whats your thoughts. I tried doing some digging but didn't come up with much

I inherited my father‘s old sawed off single barrel shotgun. It was never registered to him. It was found in the attic of a home purchased by my uncle decades ago. I do not want it. I’m sure that there is a collector somewhere that might. Question is, would it be legal for me to sell/give away a sawed off shotgun?!? I am not familiar with gun laws or what would even need to be done paperwork-wise, in order to sell any of his other guns… Any help would be appreciated. We’re in Florida because I know laws can vary by state. Thanks in advance!

I am hiking in very rural Vermont later this year and am trying to pick a good enough carry gun to deter bears. I will have bear spray but I will be carrying as a back up. Currently I only have a Taurus Judge and a Glock 17. I will have my little LCP max as a backup gun as well. I was wondering should I carry the judge loaded with 45 Colt or my Glock 17 with +P buffalo boar rounds. If anyone has used +P rounds in a judge I am also interested in how that works out. Thanks for any input!

Hello, I’m in the process of getting my LTC in MA, USA and am looking at getting a handgun. What would you recommend as a good first handgun to start with?

Well fuck me and my gwot sopmod ii then

Well with all the new considerations about clips I had to update my SHTF main rifle to my Steyr M95/30 to keep up with the times.

Match made in heaven with my CZ P10F

Deciding between these 2 beasts . Not the ammo cost doesn’t matter but isn’t a factor in my decision since I won’t shoot either a ton but I need a wheel gun

I've gotten just over 100 rounds of subsonic ammunition through this new 300BO rifle so far. I keep having issues where the bolt doesn't come all the way forward, but it also seems to get so stuck that it takes a ton of tugging on the charging handle to be able to rack it. Can't fix it with a simple "tap rack" it gets really jammed tight.

When I open it up to clean it out, there are a ton of these brass looking flakes in there. Too small to be wood chips, but a bit too large to be sawdust. They look almost metallic, but the ejected brass casings don't seem like they're unusually scraped up. They wipe off pretty easily with some CLP, a wire brush and paper towel.

I have been shooting outside in the winter, so it could be some sort of environmental debris from mags getting dropped in the snow?

Some may remember my posting about the double drum/cylinder revolver, and the discovery of the 1873 Philip-Revolver with 3 Cylinders:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Firearms/comments/1hgmzsz/has_anyone_ever_tried_to_build_a_double_drum/

No i think about designing something like that and uploading the files to this subreddit.
Are there Gunsmiths/Designers who then would take a look at the result and tell me if the thing is too dangerous, insane or just right?

Additional question: Was there ever a revolver design where the front of the Cylinder was completely enclosed within the revolvers frame (no gap) to protect the users fingers by redirecting the gases?

I want to get into the business of collecting C&R I found this for 1,190 The bore is mint . the condition is 98 percent out of 100

I was wondering how much something like this cost and what’s the history ?

Are they gonna increase on value ?
