Does anyone have a recommendation for a reasonably priced leather holster for sig 220/226 concealed carry? I prefer something with a retention snap or even a retention hood. Something not too expensive, but not cheaply made either.
I have some re-loaded 45 acp small primer brass (loaded with 185 grain FMJ, 6.1 gr Unique, and TulAmmo small primers) that consistently gives "blowback." Does anyone re-load small primer 45 acp brass, and if so do you use faster burning powders or maybe a lower than usual measure of powder...
Hello - I have a "like new" Anza Tracker that I would like to trade for an ESEE Junglas or Tops Anaconda. The Tracker is an intersting knife (Anza's are made in the US from file tool steel), and I don't recall ever using it. The knife also comes with a nice leather sheath. As indicated, I...

What's the word on the 9 to 40 conversion for the 226? Is the 40 slide conversion kit fully reliable and is there any risk of risk of damage to the frame? Last, what is the going price for the slide conversion kit?
I'm considering picking up a Sig p239 for concealed carry purposes, but these are somewhat hard to come by. Does anyone carry a 239 - if so, what do you think? Is it worth tracking one down or not? I have spent a fair amount of time with the Sig 220 (including formal training) and am partial...
I have been searching high and low for a S&W 317 or 63 (3 inch barrel), but haven't had any luck. So, I'm considering expanding the field to include a Taurus 94. What is a reasonable price for a 94? Anyone have experience with the 94 vs the S&W revolvers?

Hey All
I've let a couple older mini-14's pass through my hands and although I didn't like the front blade sight and they weren't very accurate (particularly after several shots), I am considering looking for a series 581 ranch rifle.
