      Can someone take pictures of a stock CZ75 Compact slide for me?

      My dad has a 75 Compact that he wants to put a red dot on. I've been looking at mounting options other than milling the slide, thus a dovetail optics mount. EGW said theirs won't work with the Compact slide. It doesn't have "enough meat" for it to work. CZ Customs makes one that specifically...

      S&W Response Safety Recall

      Couldn't find this posted anywhere. Just a heads up for anyone else who owns a Response. There's a safety recall for any rifle manufactured before 02/12/2024 due to possible out of battery discharges (If you watch mrgunsngear's review of it, it's what happened to his T&E rifle.). Here's the link...

      .223/5.56 Headstamp Questions

      I was processing some brass. As I was sorting .223 from 5.56, I noticed these. There's no military crimp and no cal marking. Do I assume these are 5.56? Obviously, the Federal case is .223, but what is the silver ring? Is that a crimp? I found 25+ that look like that. I should note these are...

      USPSA Questions - Wanting to give it a try

      Like the title says, I'm wanting to try my hand at USPSA in 2022. I have some questions. I hope they aren't too stupid. Is this gear enough/acceptable?

      A Couple (Probably Dumb) Newbie Reloader Questions

      So, I got my tiny bench built this weekend :rockwoot: and am getting things set up. While I'm doing things around the house, I tend to let YouTube videos play. I caught a couple that talked about cleaning new dies before use. Is this recommended? It wasn't in the Lee die material nor either of...

      Remington 5 1/2 Small Pistol Primers

      I went to the only shop near me to pick up some more SPP. I still haven't used the ones I have, but I figured another 1000 couldn't hurt. I went in and asked for "small pistol primers." He said he was out of CCI but had some Remington. I asked what the difference was and he replied it was...

      5.56 Once Fired Brass Question

      I just bought some range brass from Top Gun via Gun Broker. I received it today and immediately decapped it. I was bored. :dunno: There were 20 or so cases that went into my Frankford Arsenal Decapping Tool tighter than the rest of the brass. I easily decapped them by easing the nut back and...

      Cal Specific Manuals vs. Multi-Cal Manuals?

      Still haven't reloaded a single round yet. I'm still acquiring all the stuff that I need little by little. The next thing I want to cross off is loading manual(s). I've seen the standard ones that get recommended (Lyman, Speer, Hornady, etc.). While looking through Cabela's catalog of reloading...

      Decap Before Tumbling?

      Newbie question: Should you decap/deprime before tumbling spent brass? Does it matter? It seems like it's a split from what I've seen on YouTube and Google searches. In my thinking, doing it would ensure the primer pocket and flash hole would be cleaner, but the decapping die will get filthy...

      9mm Bullet Diameter: .355 vs .356

      Total newbie reloader here, but decided, with the state of things, to take the plunge. I have been thinking about reloading for the past couple years and have bought small things and saved brass. Today I bought a press and dies. I'm looking at bullets and have seen both .355 and .356 diameter...

      Cligner Holsters: Any Good?

      Clinger Holsters: Any Good? I'm looking at getting my dad an IWB kydex holster. He checked out the one I got about a month ago from Concealment Express (I love it), but they don't have one for a CZ 75 Compact. So, I was looking at options, and Clinger Holsters came up on my radar. I've found a...

      Is There a "Leftist" Ben Shapiro?

      I've watched quite a few of Shapiro's speeches and many episodes of his podcast via YouTube. While I agree with many things that he says, I don't agree with it all. But, I admire the way he argues and his obvious high level of preparation. I like to hear both sides of an issue. This is what lead...

      Polite Discourse is Necessary

      This may fit better in one of the political sub-forums, but I wanted to get this as widely seen as possible. Although a couple years old, the views expressed in this video, I think, are more important than ever. I know that this has been said on here before, but I think it needs repeating with...

      CZ 75 Compact Magazine Base Plates

      My dad has a 75 Compact, and he got some full size 75B mags (because who wants to spend range time loading mags??). They work great, but there's a gap between the bottom of the grip and the current base plate on the mag. I was curious if anyone knew of either a sleeve or different base plate in...

      Without the Internet, I'm not sure I would've gotten into firearms.

      So, I've been off work for the last couple of weeks (hurt my foot at work and had to stay off of it). The downtime has given me lots of time to surf the net, watch videos, and think. I found myself thinking about all of my interactions and experience with firearms from when I was a teenager...

      Front Sight Replacement: DIY or Go to a Gunsmith?

      I recently purchased a fiber optic front sight for my Ruger 9E. It has Novak-style sights (confirmed with Ruger before ordering). So, I purchased a Kensight front sight. I'm curious if this is something I can do myself or if I should go to an actual gunsmith? I understand that Novak sights (may)...

      School me on benchtop vices.

      So, I want to a benchtop vice. I know next to nothing about vices. It'll be used for general purpose stuff. A little home improvement, a little woodworking, a little gunsmithing. I'm not going to be doing anything too extravagant on it. I tried to do the online chat thing on the Lowe's site. I...

      Electronic Hearing Pro - What kinds do you use?

      I'm looking at getting some electronic hearing protection (muff style). I've been looking at the Howard Leights, Walker Razors, and 3M Peltor Sport 100s. Do any of you have any pros/cons for any of these? Do you use something different that you prefer? Do you use something different and think I...
