Do you need a Gunsmith?
Reliability Tuning
Does your weapon ever misfire. If it does it is not dependable
for serious applications like self defense. Whatever you choose to defend
yourself with is a personal choice. I will not debate with you. You should
feel comfortable with it, and practice shooting and handling your chosen
weapon. But if it doesn't function, it needs work. Not all arms are candidates
for reliability tuning or repair. What kinds of weapons do the police and
military use. You can bet that they are selected for reliability. Many
are reliable out of the box. Glocks, Smith and Wesson, Beretta, etc usually
are but my advise is test them with the ammunition you will use in them.
Consult a capable gunsmith if there is a problem. Talk with a gunsmith
and not just the salesman behind the counter.
Accurizing
With practice you can master your weapon. However in the accuracy
arena, you usually get what you pay for. The engineering of a fine target
weapon is far removed from the utility weapon which may resemble it. Accurizing
of handguns and rifles is within the realm of the gun pro. Home hobby smiths
can also do much to gain that coveted accuracy we expect. Bedding of the
rifles action and improved sights are a good investment. Adding optics
or electronic sights are new wave methods of hitting the target like never
before. Certain types of handguns are capable of fine tuning to competition
cutting edge accuracy. Check with a reliable smith.
Night Sights
Tritium Nights Sights are small gas filled lamps placed upon your
front and rear sights. Tritium is a radioactive gas which is not dependent
on absorbing a light source as the hands of your watch do. They don't need
a recharge and are readily seen at night. Ghost ring sights for poor lighting
is another option suitable for shotguns and have recently become available
for handguns and improve target accessibility for many shooters. Laser
sights and switch operated lamps are an option. Why night sights? Because
statistics prove that criminals prefer to operate after hours. Your chances
of a gunfight are more likely at night.
Handguns and Custom Rifles
In short, what are your needs? Both new and used arms can be made
to specification. Accurizing and reliability tuning. Military and police
services to appropriate agencies.
