I will buy gun stuff that Anti-gun people hate, no not just hate, loath. Some of this stuff is actually pretty neat while some things I eventually end up thinking are pretty silly or down-right useless, but I like it anyway. Most of the time, I don't buy this "edgy" gun stuff just to make Antis...

deleted - wrong forum.

I was surprised to read that there were only 300 million or so guns owned by civilians in the US. My guess is that if this is some kind of "official figure" (I know an official figure is impossible), then it is probably 3 times that number - probably more like one billion. Guns have been mass...

I have a Swiss M1882 Revolver. On the frame, under the left black bakelite grips it is stamped "SIG". I believe this stands for Schweizerische Industriegesellschaft, which according to Wikipedia is German for "Swiss Industrial Company". For any of you who may be knowledgeable about these...

Boy, no one is buying Tavors! There are tons of them listed on gunbroker with no bids. Looks like dealers may get stuck trying to unload these things. I might just snipe one if the price gets well below $1K. Dreaming? Maybe.

I ran across something odd and unusual so I thought I'd post it here and see what others think about this. I see someone is parting out a semi-auto FNC on Gunbroker. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=556749991 (one of numerous auctions) I sometimes see this on an expensive...

I'm sure we can all come up with a few examples of what makes a firearm look dated or actually out-dated. There are guns that were manufactured in the '70's, '80's and even '90's that you might scoff today thinking "yeah, I bought one of those then, but I would never buy one today". Here are...

I admit, I am fascinated by guns. And, not just one type of gun either. A good quality gun (handgun or rifle) is a machine that may be around for hundreds of years and continue to be as effective as it was on the day it left the manufacturer, with very little care. Who knows who will end up...

This is nuts! The price on these things has gone up about $400 over the past 2 years, and they continue to climb. They are single-shot, hard to use, hard to deploy, small caliber, gun-sticks. Why on earth hasn't Bond Arms or someone else bought the patent to do a limited run? At this rate...

I'm an idiot! I knew I should have bought a Boberg xr45s when I had the chance - cheap at $1150! Other than the two XR9-L's on gunbroker, I can't see that anyone has any for sale. I'm not a big fan of the XR9-L's because the extra length defeats the purpose. Now, Bond Arms says they won't...

Some people hate drum magazines; others love them. I admit that I have a "thing" for drum magazines. I try to keep up with all of the different makes of drum magazines, but lately this has been a little more difficult - there are a lot out there. I have several drums: 3 Chinese drums - 1...

DPMS used to make a black-coated stainless charging handle for the AR, but doesn't produce it any longer. Brownells has a steel charging handle, but it's just blued - prone to rust. I installed one of thse DPMS charging handles in one of the AR's I assembled - it works fine and adds very...

It looks like the Bobergs on Gunbroker are drying up. Just two XR9-S's available in black. No more Platinums. None of the 45's either - I knew I should have bought one of those two!:mad:

I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of the Kahr K9. I bought one about 2 years ago. It was an impulse buy - never really had a need or want for one, but the price seemed right. I looked on Gunbroker, and not one person is bidding on any Kahr K9's. Not a lot of demand for them, from what...

Here's what I've been able to find about Trump on gun control: "I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential...

Was the Sig X-Five Competition discontinued. I don't see much about them out there anymore. This is the X-Five that doesn't have the adjustable trigger.

I am interested in knowing where the blast sound emanates from on a suppressed firearm. For example, I believe on average a decent 9mm suppressor will still have about 125db coming from it. Does anyone know what percentage of this noise comes straight out of the muzzle as opposed to resonating...

To all of you lucky enough to attend Shot Show in Las Vegas, PLEASE, tell us what do you see that is new, interesting, revolutionary, just plain "cool", absurd or even ridiculous! I wish I could be there!

I recall (I think) reading a thread here not too long ago that discussed an AR trigger system that fired a shot on the pull and release of the trigger, similar to what was developed for the Mini-14 years ago. Did I dream this, or was this discussed??? I've done a bunch of searches looking for...

Putting utility aside for a moment, and sparing no expense, what are some of the nicest looking, more finely made double-action revolvers currently produced?
