I saw a Kahr K9 that I am interested in this past Saturday. It looked like it was hardly used and had a more polished finish - not the typical bead-blasted finish, and it had a very low serial number (3-digit, but and an unfamiliar letter suffix which I can't remember). It also came with 3...

Will Sig P238 grips fit a Colt Mustang? For that matter, are any of the parts interchangeable?

Some of you will remember the Braverman / Stinger Pen guns. They are about the size of a thick stainless steel pen and fold to make it into a single-shot pistol. They were produced, I believe, in the early '90's. These "pen guns" (not the AOW version) are selling for roughly $700+ on...

I would like to get a S&W 627 8-shot 357 in the 2 5/8" version. I really only want to spend about $850 on one, but these things seem to be selling for $1,000+. Are these guns worth the money? Or are they still over priced for what they are?

I have raved about my LC9 in other posts as being rugged, durable, and reliable. This is the gun I usually carry. So, it's only fair to report when I have problems with it, and so far I've had two: 1. I think I broke the takedown lever. This thing is a PITA to operate and now it won't stay...

I would like to know if anyone has actually tested various bi-metal bullets to see if they will or will not pierce bullet-proof vests, and what were the results compared to lead core bullets? For purposes of discussion, I am not asking about BATFE definition of "armor piercing" or whether the...

My FFL requires that the seller provide a copy of his driver's license to run a 4473 and log the weapon into his transfer log. I always thought this is a bit of overkill and that there is no requirement for seller's identification. Is this a requirement? Not a requirement, but standard...

I am interested in the Chicago Palm Pistol design. For those who are familiar with the design, would you know if there is any possibility of using a .22 barrel liner to convert these to fire .22 short? Would this be legal (to make and sell), even if it were feasible?

All I want to know is what is the absolute hottest .25acp ammo that has been manufactured. Please refrain from making comparisons to 22LR or some other smallish cartridges, I understand the differences. If you don't like .25acp, that is understandable, but that's not what this thread is about...

I sometimes gravitate to odd guns. The L.E.S. Rogak is interesting to me for a number of reasons. I know the history of this gun and its poor reputation for bad workmanship and reliability failures. My question is has anyone here ever handled, or perhaps fired a Rogak. Not the Steyr G.B...

My understanding is that the very early 1911's may not withstand the higher pressure of full power .45acp. What ammo should be used in the very early 1911's?

Is there any practical difference between AR10 waffle magazines and Standard AR10 magazines? In other words, are they interchangeable, or will the waffle magazines only work in certain guns?

I just did a search on Gunbroker for C-Series and T-Series Hi-Powers. Boy, prices sure do look reasonable! I'm not going to post the links, since this is not the sales board, and none of them are mine anyway. They are easy enough to look up. $550 for one C-Series and $600 for another...

Full auto prices are jumping at a rate I've never seen before. One guy on Gunbroker has a bid of 10K for an AC556, but his reserve hasn't been met! http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=355394149 I know it comes with about $900 worth of goodies, but still seems like prices have...

I have been interested in the STI GP6 for some time. My understanding is that it is basically the same gun as the Grand Power from Slovakia. However, I notice that the magazines that come with the GP6 are 17 rounds. The Grand Power P1 seems are advertised as having 15 or sometimes 16 round...

We've watched the trial, heard the facts and listened to the verdict. Still, Zimmerman went through and will continue to go through an ordeal that will permanently alter his life, and likely not for the better. So, my question is - if you see suspicious activity in your neighborhood (a...

Will any non-X-5 magazines fit a Sig X-Five L1 or Competition? Will Sig 20 round P226 magazines fit an X-5 9mm?

Since I get interested in low serial numbers, I thought I'd pose some questions to other collectors out there that find (some) low serial number guns interesting. I know that a lot of people simply don't care about serial numbers - just not their thing. But, what I'm looking for is some...

For the heck of it, I decided to look and see what the J-22 (chrome/wood grips) is selling for these days. So, I checked gunbroker and saw that one is bid up to about $106 - 17 bids and about 10 different bidders! I have one of these - bought it a long time ago for about $79. I know how most...

I've shot a lot of guns: custom Glocks, custom 1911's, Hi-Powers, lots of others, but mostly 9mm and .45. Some I can't shoot worth a darn, and others I shoot fairly accurately. I recently acquired a Sig X-Five (9mm Competition - no adjustable trigger) and this gun makes it seem like I'm...
