• Hi Power Apex Action Enhancement Kit

    I have been interested in tackling a new project, but I did not want to sink a bunch of money into it until I knew it would work out. As an initial test, I wanted to install the Apex Tactical Action Enhancement Kit in the Mk II Hi Power I bought from Steve in 1997.

  • Recoil Rider Grip on the Ruger LCR

    The goon tape wrapped around the Hogue Tamers that come on the LCR is always coming loose. The tape makes the rubber slick enough not to drag on clothing, but is sticky enough for good handling qualities. I have been carrying the LCR as a primary more as I work around the place. Revolvers work

  • Girsan MC P35 Ops & Springfield TRP AOS

    I thought it would be interesting to compare side by side performance between these two optic equipped and light-railed guns. While the 1911 feels good in the hand, the P35 feels better. The 1911 trigger is better. Does any of that matter? Will they both shoot the same, or wildly different? I am curious as
