    Astra in 9mm

    Been contemplating trying to get ahold of an Astra A70 or 75 to add to the rotation. A70's are as scarce as hens teeth. See 75's on GB. A buddy of mine had one back in the early 80's. Nice and solid yet concealable. I see one in my hands by the holidays, if I'm lucky. :D

    LC9 put through the paces.

    Terminology police!

    Well, wifie stated that 1) Hornsby should be Hornady 2) Pistols don't have clips 3) Little small to be a gun safe. More like a lock box. I suggested that I doubted that the pistol had been fired only once. And $800 might be close to fair for a new SR with full amount of ammo and the rest.

    The need to change things in your gun?

    It's one thing to do something after you have put a few hundred rounds through it. And are familiar with it. It's another to do it because you...... Look! Squirrel!

    The need to change things in your gun?

    Ok, something I read recently got me to thinking. Why would you buy a new hand gun and immediately change quite a few things about it even before trying it out at the range? And then ask if its a good gun to carry? Within the last 6 months have had 4 young men (under 40) want to show me their...

    9mm LC9 Tractiongrips?

    Ok folks, I have had the LC9 for a while now and am used to the trigger and all. I just want a better feel to the grip without too much. Thinking that Traction Grips might give me what I want without sacrificing its sleekness and concealabity. Thoughts?
