Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find thin grips for a Sig Sauer 1911?

Aluma Grips (alumagrips.com) offers thin grips made from aluminum for 1911 pistols. These are noted for their durability and are a good alternative if original grips crack or are unavailable. Remember to use bushings specifically designed for thin grips when installing them.

What makes the Ruger No. 1 rifle ambidextrous?

The Ruger No. 1 is designed to be ambidextrous due to its underlever action release and its tang safety. Both of these features are positioned and function in a way that allows for easy and safe operation by both right-handed and left-handed shooters without modification.

What are the advantages of the Ruger SP101 in .327 Federal Magnum?

The Ruger SP101 in .327 Federal Magnum is highly versatile as it can chamber .327 Federal Magnum, .32 H&R Magnum, and standard .32 S&W Long cartridges. This allows for a range of power levels and significantly reduced recoil for practice sessions.

Can a rifle chambered for .460 S&W Magnum also fire .410 shotgun shells?

While revolvers like 'The Judge' are designed to fire both .45 Colt/.460 S&W Magnum and .410 shotshells, adapting a rifle for both presents accuracy challenges. The longer chamber needed for the .410 might negatively impact the accuracy of pistol cartridges.
