    Surplus Beretta M.92S What the deal?

    Has anyone else noticed how many of these are hitting the market right now. I have seen them as low as $289 for Good to VG and have even seen some which claim to be unissued. Anyone own one? Looks like they all have the mag release on the lower part of the frame. Thoughts?

    The Browning Hi Power and +P ammo

    Back in the CZ75 B Saddle!!!!!!

    Well I guess its about time. I normally buy a CZ75 B every 2 or 3 years because I really want to own one but they tend not to fit my hand. I have smaller hands and more to the point short fingers. I keep them for 6 months or so then sell them because they don't fit me. I want to love them but...

    OK so I was wrong I could not stop at one....

    I originally set out to purchase one S&W .357 Mag. Started a thread about what S&W .357 would you buy if you could have only one. Tons of great responses. Lots of info and it helped me pick a Model 19-3 4". Well I was able to get my hands on a nice Model 28-2 4" Here are a few pics of each...

    Well I have been on the look out for one of these at a reasonable price and I was able to find one yesterday. At $450 I simply could not pass it up. Came with everything in the original box + 3 P99 mags. Mags looks to be identical except that the PPQ mags have red followers and are of course...

    Well that did not take too long....

    I was able to score this 19-3 for less than my allotted budget. It's serial number 7K9504XX. This puts DOB about 1975. Yes it is a Bangor Punta gun but I am OK what that. It is pinned and recessed and if I am correct is a 3 screw gun. Looks to be standard sights, standard trigger and hammer. I...

    Thoughts on Fiocchi 357 MAG 142GR FMJ

    I have found some of this ammo for decent price about $19 a box. I have shot a ton of Fiocchi 9mm and 45 ACP out of my autos. Thoughts on this for S&W .357s like Model 19 or a 586?

    There can be only one! What S&W .357 Revolver would you choose?

    I am not a Revolver guy. I owned a Ruger GP100 at one time but sold it. Never really loved it. It was a tank and shot well I just never loved the trigger as much as some S&Ws I have shot. Shot a friends S&W the other day and got me thinking I should own at least one .357. So lets here it! If...

    Recently moved from VA to KY is my VA permit valid in KY?

    I recently move to KY from VA. I have to wait for 6 months to get a KY permit. My VA permit is a resident permit but it is my understanding that a VA CHP is valid even if you move within the state or even out of state. VA does not require that you change your address on the CHP if you move. VA...

    Range near Somerset KY

    I maybe moving to the Somerset, KY area and am looking for a shooting range. I mainly shoot pistol 25 yards and under. Rifle 100 yards plus would be a bonus. All I could find on the web was a range in Keno but the USDA Forest Service shut it down in 2012 due to new homes near the range...

    Fiocchi +P+ 9mm 115 gr ammo... Question

    So I was going through some older ammo cans and I found 17 boxes of this Fiocchi ammo. I believe I bought it from Dan's Ammo way back when. The boxes are standard marked with the standard 9AP marking but I know it is hotter than 1250 fps. IIRC it is 1300 fps +. I believe I have shot it from a...

    Sistema Colt 1911 added to the collection!

    I have been looking for an older 1911A1 style pistol to add to the collection as a shooter not a collector. I wanted something with that GI feel. I checked out the Auto Ordnance and other GI Milspec pistol which are on the market these days but they simply did not have the feel I was looking...
