Hi all, After being shot briefly yesterday by my Pastor (who loved the gun, by the way), my S40-A1 has started to make a strange rattling noise when I tilt the gun up or down. It also feels as if something is sliding around in the slide. I immediately unloaded the gun and took it apart to...

G'day all. Just ordered my first Handgun an M40A1 from SFRC. Looking forward to all the info and experience on this site. Nice job!!!

Hey all, With all the new members checking in and asking questions about holsters I thought I'd post reviews of my two Galco holsters. I was first introduced to Galco while looking for a nice IWB (in waste band) holster for my Bersa Thunder 380. I found a nice tuckable holster (TUC456) made...

I was "lucky" enough to score 2 boxes of 50rds each (100rds total) of Winchester SXZ 9mm Luger 115gr FMJ Flat Nose "Training". Has anyone else had experience with this ammo? My M9-A1 ran great and all but as I was disassembling it to clean it tonite, I noticed it was extremely dirty after...

Hey all, current handgun noob looking to find his perfect pistol :-) So far Ive had a S&W SD9VE and currently have a Glock 22. Neither have really tickled my fancy so I come here to learn more about Steyr Arms and possibly get my hands on a M40/M357. Hope to get to know some of you and learn a...

Use only non-linting materials to clean the striker or firing pin channel in actually any weapon. Lint can cause light strikes by itself, and with dirt, it can really muck things up. Coffee filters or Chem-X filters are non-woven materials which will clean well and not leave fibers behind. Cut...

This is the Steyr S9A1 sub compact model, amazing feel in the hand, amazing trigger, better than ANY Glock I have ever fired. She came with 2 10 rd clips and a nice case. The trapezoid sights are going to be a hit (no pun intended), target acquisition is very fast and I cannot wait to get her to...

When I bought my GB it only came with one mag. I paid an exorbitant amount for the second mag because once I had the second one I could hunt for the third one at my leisure. The third one was acquired for just under $100. My goal has been to obtain a fourth. Every time I walk into a gun shop I...

Yes, that's about the size of it! 100 rounds, 50 Remington UMC 165 grain JHP, 50 Federal 165 grain FMJ. The gun is brand spankin' new, CWO date code. I was loading one magazine with the UMCs, then I'd shoot one magazine with the Federals, and alternate magazines. First 30-40 rounds were...

Hello, dear friends I am a newbie on this forum. I have got a Steyr M A1. I like it very much, but have some questions about the maintenance. For example, now I have got to replace the ejector on the sub-frame but don't know what to do exactly (there is no tutorials for it, I mean for the...

Howdy, I got this 1909 about 4 years ago and just found ammo for it last week so my son and I went out and was able to shoot it for the first time man it was awesome it shoots great. can anyone tell me more about this rifle? I don't know much about it I bought it from a customer of mine...

So I just got my c9 yesterday. Also another thanks for y'alls insight on my other recent post. Greatly appreciated. Y'all are some of the most helpful on any forum I've participated on. Anyways.... So I was playing with it last night to see the going into battery issue the nra rifleman...

Let me preface this by saying---there's more than one 'right' way to grip a handgun. That said, there's a lot of wrong ways and I see that all to often so that's the root of this post and video. I shot a quick how to video for shooters out there who don't know how to properly grip a semi...

if anyone does I sure would like to see it. thanks

It disappeared a week ago or so and I miss it. :willynilly:

Hi, Im waiting on getting my licence through for my m9a1, but thought i would get on the search for a holster for it now. What i would like would be a polymer (kydex?) holster for it with a push button to release the pistol from the holster, i think this is known as level 3, but correct me if...

Not sure if anyone made a comment on these but the "SIG" version (Sig-Sauer P220, P228) does fit the S9A1 very well. I just got it and it is a little tight but as I understand it will loosen up a little over a few days but for a holster with no straps, I feel it fits perfect. Just passing it on...

Does anyone know where i could order a m9-a1 firing pin? Help

I'm thinking about making a few boxes for gun cleaning kits. If I can get a big understanding of what everyone expects from their kit, I can pop out a really nice handmade cleaning supplies box. Custom tailored to a degree. Woodworking is a passion of mine and I generally make wooden boxes...

Tahoe area Hi! I've been into firearms, mostly rifles and handguns, and hunting since 1961. I just picked up an SSG 69, green stock, iron sights, double set trigger, Zeiss scope. Actually, it isn't here yet and then CA has to check me out.........AGAIN. Probably be another two weeks. This is...
