    Eig Italian revolver

    Here's one for the experts- Who made it for Eig? There weren't many Italian revolver makers in the early 1960s. My guess is Bernardelli, but I can find no mention of them producing a .38, only .22 & .32s. The only clue is the marking in front of the serial number. The marking is not that of...

    Diamondback DB9 9mm

    Played with one of these today. They are EXTREMELY small and lightweight. The trigger pull is very nice. Really not much bigger than the Keltec P32 I was carrying. Unfortunately, they are pretty thick, and the slide is just...square. The grip angle is not very ergonomic at all. I suspect they...

    The gun Colt & SIG aspire to be!

    With all the talk of Stars, Colt .380s, and SIG P238s, I thought some of you might like to see the gun that really started it all, the Star DK "Starfire." These guns weigh 14 ounces, are locked breech, and very ergonomic.

    Taurus 905 9mm

    Just ran across a great deal on a Taurus 9mm revolver. I believe it is a 905 model. The gun will headspace on the 9mm rim, but without moon clips does not extract. Where would one find the appropriate clips?

    Chamber adapters?

    A friend has "Grampas's" old damascus 12 ga. double, and he insists he wants to shoot it-against my advice. Would .410 or 20 ga. chamber adapters be safe to use? My only experience with damascus barrels has been instructing people not to shoot the guns. Thanks.

    Steel cased ammo/American guns

    I keep hearing people say that steel cased ammunition wears out; chambers, extractors, ejectors, etc.-and they would never use it in their guns, but it's OK for SKS or AK-type weapons because they were designed for it. My contention is that: Old Mikhail never said, "I'm needink to make the parts...

    Tenn. Firearms Freedom Act

    Tennesee's "Firearms Freedom Act" has recently become law-the first in the nation. The law basically says that firearms made in TN, to be sold and used in TN are NOT subject to federal law. ATF is having a fit, sending letters to dealers-telling them the law is worthless and that they will...

    Why people cold blue guns

    A guy "ends up" with a gun. Maybe an inheritance, gift, or just a good deal. The guy knows a "little bit" about guns from hunting or military service. So, he ends up with a Winchester 94 or a 1911 that is well used but otherwise in good shape. The first thing he sees is that there is bluing...

    "It's for close range"

    I think a lot of shooters limit themselves by thinking that small handguns are only accurate at short range. Small guns are harder to shoot accurately, but it seems that limiting ones shooting to say- 7 yards is doing one's self a great disservice. If you can hit a target at 25 yards, then 7...

    S&W 37 3inch

    I kind of have a thing for 3" .38s. Was at my buddy's pawn shop today and saw an older, pinned, round butt model 37 in excellent condition for $320. I stuck it on layaway. Neat little gun. I haven't found much that does anything for me lately.
