I know this is a touchy topic. I would like to know what objections people have to opening up the NICS background check to everyone, not just FFL's. Basically, give everyone the ability to do a background check and require them to keep a simple log of who they sold a firearm to (and proof of...

If so, where do you post and what do you typically encounter. I would assume that for the most part its an utter waste of time, but has anyone had any marginal degree of success?

I am considering purchasing a set of Hough G10 G-mascus grips for my Sig. If anyone has pictures of these grips on their guns, I'd love to see them. They aren't cheap, so I'd like to know people's thoughts on whether they like them or not.

I like both of these little 9mm's. But, have never shot either. Looking for opinions - which do you prefer and why?

I stopped by my local gun store which is one of the largest in my area. Their inventory on everything has been bought up. Interestingly, they are very low on revolvers and almost anything carry size. The counter-jockey was complaining to a customer he apparently knew that he was sick of...

I listen to Bill Bennett in the morning on AM radio and he came out with a petition supporting the 2nd Amendment. Now, I don't usually sign petitions, but with whats going on right now, I don't want to look back and think "I didn't even put up a fight". So, I post the link here for anyone...

I hate panic-buying. I thought I was stronger than this, but I admit, I panic-purchased a Sig X-Five (competition, 9mm). Here's my justifications: 1. I've always wanted one and would be beyond angry if my opportunity to get one slipped by. 2. Given that this is 19-20 round handgun, there's...

Please, somebody, convince me that this gun isn't anything special. FWIW, I would be looking at it as a rugged, durable substitute for a Glock 17 that I don't much care for (don't like the trigger).

I just heard about the Bumpski slide-fire stock that is supposed to simulate full-auto fire in semi-auto AK's. Does anyone have any experience with this? Do they work? I've done a little research and saw a couple of videos - looks good, but lots of things can be made to look good. Just...

Just a word about Newbie Gun Owners. There are a lot of new folks getting into guns and they don't know anything about the law or about guns. I'm not saying this as a dig on anyone, just trying to keep all of us informed about what's going on. Here's my latest Newbie Story: I was at Gander...

I will admit, I too have been tempted to buy another AR, AK, or other semi-auto rifle that shoots 5.56, 7.62x39 or .308 because of the gun-ban hype. Or, some magazines, or even some ammo. And, I did end up buying a handgun that I've wanted for quite some time - Sig X-Five Competition model in...

I have an old Colt A2 upper receiver attached to a Colt standard government profile barrel, marked "CMP". Are all AR barrels in high demand right now, or is there something special about these old Colt government barrels that causes them to sell for a premium? What am I missing here?

I am intrigued by the SIG 556 R in 7.62x39. I like the round better than 5.56 and I like the "look and feel" of the Sig 556. How do they function? How do they hold up? I am not looking for an AR-15 or another AK. I was wondering if anyone who has one of these, or has fired one (or even the...

So, you buy a semi-automatic rifle or pistol. It comes with a couple of magazines. How many "spare" magazines do you really need per gun? I am not suggesting that people should be legally restricted to some number of magazines - that's not where I want to head with this discussion. For...

I just came from a gunshow about an hour ago. Here are my observations: 1. Arrived at 9:30 - line was HUGE, but it moved and I got into the gunshow within 45 minutes or so. 2. Lots of folks new to guns and shooting waiting in line - made my wait in line interesting hearing all of the...

I have a Winchester 94 made around 1970. It has the usual finish problem on the receiver. I got the gun on a trade, sold the other gun, and have no money in this gun. It's ugly, but works just fine - I call it my "Cabin Gun". I have read that the receiver can't be blued and if you try it...

I just wanted to report that I got very good results using bluing paste to eliminate holster finish ware on one of my guns. I liked the results so much that I ended up doing the entire slide and the several areas on the frame. The pistol has a mat blue/black finish. I did this while sitting...

Perhaps I'm late to the party, but I didn't realize that Tafoglio was bought out or merged into a larger firearms company, Italian Firearms Group. The Witness Stock pistols seem to be now advertised as made by IFG, not Tanfoglio. I just found this kind of interesting - don't know what others...

I've finally decided to purchase an STI LS40. I found a pretty good deal on a good used one. I have been researching this pistol for some time now and am familiar with pro's/con's and some problems STI had with the LS40. Apparently the STI slide stops were not strong enough for the .40...
