I have recently started carrying a Smith and Wesson SD 40 and have noticed that the magazine rattles when I walk. I attribute this to the double stack and the bullets bouncing around. Anyone have any suggestions for silencing the noise. I am probably the only one that actually hears it, but it is very annoying. The problem will soon be resolved with a 1911 as a carry gun.

Ive noticed some websites say the gun IS CA approved and others say it is NOT CA approved. its model number 3206

which is it?

This particular gun appealed to me due to being equipped with a laser max direct from the manufacture.

As many of you know California is very tough on its handgun laws in particular. it seems to meet all the requirements i can think of (ie. magazine is less than 10 rounds etc)

ive already passed the handgun safety certification b.s. i own a rifle and a shotgun but this will be my first handgun. thoughts? ]]> luvourgunsinca http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/showthread.php?t=107041 speed loaders? http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/showthread.php?t=107024&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 04:41:30 GMT What do you guy think about speed loaders for a revolver?I got this new judge and its hard to get used to since ive always used semi auto.I want to reload as fast as I can.

Century International Arms imports these little pistols which are fun plinkers that can be used for self-defense with the right ammunition.

I did not know Pythoin was made in 38special, called the Python 38 TARGET. Also the scoped 357 both are 8" barrels and the Anaconda was with the pythons.


Then I finally got the 45 Colt to go with the other calibers. The 22 22 mag on top and then the 357 with two cylindes and the 41 mag has a Douglas barrel and is extremely accurate then the 44 mag Bisley " and just got the 45 Colt yesterday. Traded a 44 mag new model Ruger Vaquero for it.

Will get to shoot them tomorrow when my grandson comes up for the weekend.

Anyone have anything they know of that might point me in the right direction. Any other beretta guns like the 92f that might be compatible. Any help at all will help, hate these cheep plastic ones.

(if that's a word lol) It is best suited for larger hands, but it's very accurate and who doesn't want 15+1 of .45 auto? Very picky about reloads though. It's recoil spring is tough and loves hot loads. The OAL of the loads has to be under a certain length because of the tight tolerance in the mags, and if the bullet isn't heavy enough or the load isn't hot enough, it doesn't like to eject the shell. It's eats everything I've ever put through it off the shelves without a hitch though! Just wanted to introduce myself here and everyone loves pics! So here's the start to my collection! Enjoy!

I also have an AR-15, Browning Light 12 Auto 5, and a Kel-Tec P3AT for carry, but I will leave them to their respective forums.

Ok, so I got this Bersa Thunder Pro 9mm UC, about a month ago and finally got to take it to the range today. I was thinking this is going to be sweet...it looks like a quality piece and I like the feel.

So I get up to the line, aim, squeeze, and nothing. Cleared that round and tried again. Nothing. Tried several more times and still nothing. Upon examination I couldn't believe what I think I'm seeing...or not seeing. No firing pin. I can't believe it left the factory that way.

So I came home and called Davidsons. they told me to take it back to my local dealer and they'd send me out a new one right away. Good service from Davidsons but my confidence in Bersa is somewhat shaken. Anyone else ever had anything like this happen with a new firearm? ]]> RunningOnMT http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/showthread.php?t=106766 Video - Webley Mk VI http://www.thefirearmsforum.com/showthread.php?t=106747&goto=newpost Thu, 10 May 2012 15:15:22 GMT My Webley has been altered to shoot .45 ACP in moon clips rather than the .455 Webley cartridge. In this video we'll shoot the old Webley at a variety of targets.

For those who don't remember this was the gun that Texas Governor Rick Perry used to kill a coyote that was attacking his dog a few years back. After all the publicity, Ruger made a run of 1000 LCP's with the "Coyote Special" markings. The box also was stamped "For Sale To Texans Only". They sold out instantly so they made another 1000 (or maybe it was 2000..cant recall)...anyway they sold out fairly quickly too.

Back to the gun show.... There was a guy who had one for sale but the markings were different on the gun and the box was stamped "For Sale To True Americans". When I asked, he insisted this was the real deal and this was the true Coyote Special. I bought one of these during the initial run so I do know the difference. I don't know if he was outright lying or if he was just misinformed, but apparently there are people out there who are selling these later produced guns as the original "Coyote Special's". I know these are not terribly collectible but I do not like deception.

I am posting a pic of mine and the box it came it. I am also posting a pic of the newer copies.
