1. I've read multiple articles on this topic by various people and it seems like there are two tribes: grease vs oil. One article says absolutely use grease (the right kind) in the usual places - frame rails, slide etc etc. The next says absolutely don't use...
Visited Cabelas a little while back in a (futile) search for .45 ACP rounds. Since I was there, I picked up an eight round Wilson Combat 1911 magazine. Let it sit for a couple of months, finally loaded it and swapped it for a loaded mag in the 1911 in the night holster. Felt a little sticky...
Has anyone seen or shot Ruger's GP100 Match Champion? It looks like a Talo or Lipsey's variant, but is factory produced.

Has anyone seen one, shot one, etc? I was browsing a couple of sites today, saw reference to them and looked them up. They look great, although I have to question how much of a market there is for a GI model priced at....wait for it....$4,350.00, and nope, that isn't a mistake...
Things That Make You Go “Why, Oh Lord, Must Thy Servant Put Up With This…Stuff?”
My brother has been searching for a decent defensive piece, concealability not an issue. Doesn’t know all that much, hasn’t shot a lot of handguns. I told him to get a revolver for his first piece just to learn...
First and foremost up front: this is my 'problem child'. It's the duotone version of which there have been about a zillion pics posted online; if you're not familiar with it see pics at the link below. This particular piece does NOT have the internal lock.

Hey folks -
I've been looking for a new (okay, not new, without lock) four inch 686. In checking the usual online locations like GunBroker and GunsAmerica, I've seen several listings for a 686 Mountain Gun, which look like a 686 with about a third of the underbarrel lug missing. Can't...
Need to sell a S&W 686, four inch barrel, walnut target grips. Very accurate. Asking $400. No trades please; need the cash. I'm in Fishers, will travel reasonable distance for FTF. Pic below along with a couple of the safemates.

WTS STI Spartan 1911
Hate to let it go, but Christmas is coming and I need the bucks...one STI Spartan 1911 clone in excellent condition, with hardshell case, two 8 round mags, Don Hume IWB holster.. Regret that I don't have pics, but multiple pics and a review of the piece can be found at the...
Kind of an off-the-wall question....
I live in the vicinity of 116th & Allisonville. There have been many days when I've gone out on my back porch and heard what sound like live fire exercises over to the west - lots of rapid single shots and what sounds like full automatic fire. It...
A while back I purchased a Bersa Thunder 380 duotone used for $200 at a shop; supposedly with less than 50 rounds through it. Bore looked good, I'd read good things about them as reliable inexpensive concealable pieces and it seemed like a reasonable deal. It was actually issued as an officer...
Savage 99CD in .308. This is the clip fed model. Monte Carlo stock, drilled and tapped, currently has iron sights (Williams). Rated at 95%; case hardening on lever is really nice. Asking $450 firm, will toss in 20 rounds Winchester 180 gr PowerPoint and hard shell case. I'm located in Fishers...
I've got a Savage 99CD in .308 that I may have to get rid of; love it but it's a safe queen and so forth. I keep hearing I'd have a lot better luck selling it in Michigan than I will down here because they're so popular as deer guns up in the big woods. Doe this sound reasonable? Hate to...
Like everyone else, I've been grumbling about ammo availability for the past few months. Forget about prices, just being able to buy ANY in the calibers I shoot, which are 45 acp, 357 mag/38+p, and 380. They just weren't available on a regular basis, I'm talking empty shelves. I'm starting to...
As of 11 this morning, a bunch of 40 cal and 9 mm, including some Remington 9mm FMJ in 250 round packs for 79.99.....not bad. No 380 and very little 45 acp, unfortunately, and 50 rounds of 38 special +P was like 59.95.....go figure.
They do have a sign posted saying they reserve the right to...
Thought I'd add a vote for Premier in Brownsburg...I scored a Savage 99 there last year and really enjoyed the shop. Bryce is very personable, very knowledgeable, and has a fine selection for a smaller shop, particularly in wheelguns - lots of older Smiths, which are some of my particular faves...
