Frequently Asked Questions

What are the effects of using old, corrosive .22 rimfire ammunition?

Old .22 rimfire ammunition, especially .22 shorts, can be corrosive. Firing it exclusively can erode the chamber, particularly the forward section, causing bulged brass and making it difficult to chamber longer cartridges like .22 Long Rifle. This can effectively limit the firearm to only shooting .22 shorts.

How can a 1911 pistol be modified for shooters with smaller hands?

To improve a 1911 for smaller hands, a "small hands package" is recommended. This involves three changes: installing thinner grip panels, fitting a shorter trigger, and adding a drop safety lever, which is a slightly extended thumb safety for easier reach.

What are the key features of the SIG P365 and Ruger PC Carbine?

The SIG P365 is a compact, slim pistol ideal for concealed carry, offering 10 or 12-round capacity. The Ruger PC Carbine is a versatile pistol-caliber carbine with a takedown design, ambidextrous features, and compatibility with Glock magazines, making it suitable for home defense and other roles.
