I can't emphasize what Rusty said enough....know what purpose/roll your new pistol will fill. Also handle and fire as many as you can. It sounds like that shouldn't be a problem with your local range. I was in your shoes earlier this spring and debated for quite awhile between the Glock 19, Glock 17...

I think the first paragraph of your response really answers my question, although I appreciate the more indepth explanation of your conversion. Attempting a conversion like that is more than what I would like to take on as a project. I was looking for a way to get a "2 for 1" by purchasing...

COSteve, So you bought a longer barrel and a new slide for the G20. Did you also get a .45ACP barrel that you use on the G20 frame? What I'm trying to figure out is can you buy a .45 ACP barrel and slide to put on the G20 frame? Would you have to buy .45 mags as well and would they work in the G20 f...

I've never shot a 7mm but know lots of people in Montana who have taken elk with the 7mm (as well as a .270 Win, .270 Weatherby, and the venerable .30-06). Personally I would use my late fathers Model ...

After several months of debating and overthinking on my part, I finally bought my first levergun. I found a 1949 Marlin 336 RC .30 WCF at a somewhat local (45 minutes away) gunshop. The bluing is starting to fade due to wear, but the stock and forend are in good shape. It came with a Lyman 56 sight....
