I just glanced at a firearms auction at the local auction service and all lots show the text "**All Firearms are Illinois Restricted** No Illinois Sales**" including semi auto .22s with 10 round magazines, shotguns, and stripped lower receivers. Did I miss something? Are firearm auctions...

... that I don't want anymore. I have a Mossberg shotgun that drops unfired shells with every cycle after its 3rd or 4th voyage to a repair center. I acquired a Winchester 100 in an estate that will not cycle and the repair estimate exceeds replacement cost. What do I do with them? They don't...

Hello. First post in quite a while. I am following an auction that is selling loose ammunition by weight, for example: "31.5 lbs 223 Rem reloads in a steel ammo can", and "26.7 lbs 9mm in a steel ammo can". How do I approximate the number of rounds in the can? Is a website out there that lists...

Smith & Wesson is "Smith & Wesson" or sometimes "Smith"; "Heckler and Koch" is sometimes "HK"; Sig Sauer is sometimes "Sig"; why is Sturm, Ruger and Co. always just "Ruger"? I have never heard or read anyone talking about their Sturm and Ruger. Was Sturm a jerk?

The local gun club is hosting a summer steel challenge. The seems like a great event for my P210. It just needs a holster. The holster must be strong side, OWB, passive retention; no SERPA or active retention. I have come across Mitch Rosen. What are my other options? Thanks!

From another thread: I see or hear this contrary response, or a close variation thereof, fairly often when reactionary gun control legislation is proposed by a level of government. The mass shooting epidemic would mitigate itself if only current laws were enforced as intended, right? - so the...

Hello. My ex-father-in-law gifted to my son a Colt Woodsman. The slide does not lock to the rear with either magazine inserted. I have not fired it yet. My son said that FIL hinted that it might need some work. So, who works on the Colt Woodsman? The serial number is TM08102. Can you...

I came across this one today: An 80 year old man was having his annual checkup, and the doctor asked him how he was feeling. "I've never been better!" he boasted. "I've got an eighteen year old bride who's pregnant, and having my child! What do you think about that?" The doctor considered...

Bored at home, I was cruising through CTD's .357 mag for sale. Not going to buy any - really expensive right now; but I came across two measurements that have me wondering: sectional density and bullet ballistic coefficient. For reference, S&B .357 advertises a sectional density of 0.177...

My P32 is no longer reliable. It fails to feed 1-2 times per magazine using three magazines firing Fiocchi and S&B FMJ ammo. I sent it back to Kel-Tec. They sent it back claiming it was fixed, but it is not. They claimed they test fired each magazine. Did they fire only one round per mag...

My P32 that I purchased 20ish years ago was experiencing frequent failure-to-feed malfunctions with all magazines and several brands of FMJ. So, I sent it to Kel-Tec for service. Their warranty policy states that I must prove that I am the original owner with either the sales receipt or the...

I am looking into a striker .45 with a thumb rest. Why? I haven't had a .45 in a long time and strikers with thumb safeties fit my hand naturally. I am finding 3 options: Ruger American, Ruger SR and the M&P. The SR45 is the cheapest of the 3, under $300 through Buds, but its thumb safety...

The King Cobra and the Python, what's the difference?

Ok, the back story: My Illinois CCL expired on July 7. I took the renewal course on May 11. Just after I took the class, the same day I think, I logged into the online portal through the Illinois State Police website to renew but could not because my renewal application was in-process (I...

I just bought a shield 2.0 9mm. What IWB and OWB holsters do you peeps use for this pistol under $50? (I am cheap. Cue next question) Has anyone used Promag magazines? I like this pistol so far. If, in the future, I really like it then I will look into action enhancement. Any recommendations?

And Stoeger came through to fill the hole in the market with the STR-9. Anyone seen/held/fired/bought one yet?

I'm looking for a new concealed carry pistol. I have a Bersa BP9cc and a Ruger LCR .38 and like neither. The Bersa has been back and forth to the warranty center 3 times and I don't trust it. It is also a complete pain in the ___ to take apart to clean. Love the size and trigger, though. I...

Sadly, an impending divorce is forcing me to sell my firearms, accessories and unopened boxes of ammo. I will need to whittle my accumulation down to a single multi-purpose pistol, my son's .22s, and what has been gifted to me. Any suggestions? Local pawns shop will likely not pay as much as...

I would like to bid on an online auction for what is listed as a "Ruger NM Single Six .22RF". Stamped above the trigger is ".22 CAL". .22RF means .22 Rim Fire, right?; meaning I can shoot .22lr, .22 short and .22 mag as long as I have the cylinders, right?

The back story: I purchased a Bersa BP9cc for $400 ~2 years ago. That LGS price was comparable to Buds and CTD prices at that time. Now, after it returns from its 3rd voyage to a warranty center, I want it gone. They are listed for $250ish now. What are typical gun mark-up prices? Was the...
