I always read that many firearms owners enjoy cleaning their guns. Personally, I do it because it has to be done, but it’s a chore for me, like taking out the trash or doing laundry.

I have a Hellcat OSP with a Holosun 507K mounted on it, and I also own multiple 15 round extended mags. With the obvious difference in slide/barrel length, there’s potentially a recoil difference between the original Hellcat and the Hellcat Pro. But the grip appears to be the same size between...

The SA-35 was announced in Oct and the Garrison was announced in Nov, yet I can buy the Garrison in multiple calibers at multiple online retailers and brick and mortar stores, and at normal prices. Meanwhile, if you can even find an SA-35 at all, you’re paying hundreds above MSRP. In fact, I’ve...

I’ve been going back and forth about buying an SA-35, but the decision seems to have been made for me. What’s up with Springfield Armory? Are they having manufacturing issues? Are the rumors of extractor issues true and they’ve stopped making them in order to fix the problem? Why can’t we buy...

Went into my LGS today, a retail outlet that stocks and sells many Springfield Armory products, and the manager told me point blank not to buy the SA-35 due to extractor issues. He said they’ve had 50 units on back order and only actually received 2 units since release. But it surprised me that...

The one type of handgun I’ve never owned or fired is a revolver. Just never saw the need, especially given they usually are chambered in a legacy caliber like .38 special or .357 magnum, and I’m not eager to buy/stock new types of ammo. Thinking about a wheel gun now. Can anyone recommend a...

I know it’s been reported that auction sites are selling the new SA-35 Hi Power clones at exorbitant and in my opinion ridiculous prices. Has anyone seen one in stock at any reputable online or brick and mortar stores at or below MSRP? It doesn’t seem that SA has begun shipping inventory to...

Have only shot 300 rounds through my DYL Mil Spec 1911. Love the gun, but the grips seem to be loosening a little. What do folks recommend? Should I remove them and put blue Loctite on the screws and retighten? Or just tighten up as is without removing? I use a torque wrench/driver, so what is...

Bought my first 1911 (and first .45ACP firearm) a couple of weeks ago. It’s a new SA parkerized Milspec M1911A1-ish clone. Also got 3 additional SA 7 round GI blued mags, exactly the same as the one that came in the box with the pistol. Today was the first chance I had to go put 200 rounds...

So I recently posted that I bought a Springfield Defender Mil Spec 1911, and am waiting anxiously for it to arrive at the FFL for pickup. I’ve know about the light titanium firing pin and heavy firing pin spring which is reportedly how they achieve drop safe. I’m not planning to carry this...

Have been wanting a decent replica of a WWII era M1911A1. The Springfield Defender Mil Spec parkerized model has been highly reviewed and is American made with a stainless match grade barrel. Saw one available, at a discount from MSRP, with free shipping. That’s like Kryptonite to Superman. My...

Anyone have a Hellcat OSP and using a Holosun HS407K or HS507K? Looking specifically for folks who used the adapter mounting plate sold by CHPWS. Any issues with fit? Do you get any cowitness at all?

Subject says it. Looking for any experiences from people who EDC a Hellcat but do it in an ankle holster. Too heavy? Works well? And what holsters do folks recommend or not recommend?
