Reader Comments of the Week
“Take a look at the pending regulations the ATF is trying to push through right now. You won’t be able to find any gun parts or receivers in stock anywhere. Invest now why you can or don’t complain when you can’t find anything in stock. There’s a lot of news shooters that decided at the last minute to buy a gun or mag, only to find none in stock. The experienced shooter knows this, but the newbies don’t.”
– JASON, in response to 10 Things You Should Buy Right Now
“I recently became interested in finding a new double-stack 1911 to relive memories of a Para-Ordnance I had in the 1990’s. I found a RIA TAC Ultra HC FS in .45acp and really liked it. My first trip to the range I set the target at 15 yards and carefully fired my first shot. From that distance I was really sad because I couldn’t see a hole in the target, so I brought the target in to get a closer look. I had hit directly in the center!! I managed to make really nice groups. Really fantastic. I’m very happy with this purchase. If RIA makes it stainless, I’ll buy another!”
– DEAN, in response to Range Review: Rock Island Armory FS 1911
“The S&W .22 revolver was the original “KIT” gun. Now we don’t use the term “KIT” but instead say “BUG OUT”. Still, as a “BUG OUT” gun, a good .22 LR handgun has many things going for it. IF an alternate .22 WMR cylinder could be swapped with the .22 LR cylinder, then it would be very hard to find a better option.”
– GRUMPY, in response to Range Review: Smith & Wesson 317 Lite Kit Gun
