Been looking to get a new revolver, and I was looking at the Ruger Blackhawks. I've owned them in the past and I was looking to get a revolver in .357. When I saw they had 9mm cylinders to interchange, I got real happy, since in my mind that makes three guns in one. .357/.38/9mm Anyone have...

Santa, oh Santa, I've been soooooo good this year! http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=148615259 Daddy needs a new toy.:D Anyone want to admit to having one of these and causing me to die of envy?:p

including the price. Springfield Loaded 1911 or S&W 1911? Only asking about these two, don't need any opinions about Kimbers, STI's, Dan Wesson's, SIG's, Les Baer's, Colt's, Taurus, or any other I can't think of at this particular moment. Choosing between the two to save my money for...

My local range has from time to time put their rental guns up for sale. These guns start out as new and then get sold later as used. Some of them at pretty good prices. I know round count is a lost cause, but has anyone bought a former rental? The reason I'm asking is they recently had a...

Sometimes I don't get myself. I have been a fan of 40S&W for a very long time. Owned several different guns in said caliber, finally settling on a SIG P226. Finally have a few extra bucks for a new firearm, and for whatever reason, I have 1911's stuck on the brain. I have owned three 1911's...

I have a 22 semi-auto rifle I inherited from my grandfather a few years ago. I have tried to research it and have come up empty. I took it to a gun shop for the purpose of information and possible value, but that was an experience I'd just as soon forget. When he made an offer on the gun I...

The theme for the Oak Park Sportsman's Club IDPA shoot in October is ZOMBIES! They will have zombie targets and of course, only head shots, please. Looks to be a blast. As an IDPA shooter and writer/fan of zombie fiction, this is almost too much to bear.

Don't know if this has been posted before, I just discovered it myself, and a search did not reveal any results. Anyway, this cartoon has been around a while and it is very pro-gun, conservative, and very friendly to the troops. The drawings are excellent, and the political commentary is very...

If you had a choice between a standard Browning Hi Power (Blued, 1989) or a two-tone Practical Hi Power, which would you choose and why? Assuming the price was the same. Both are used and have cosmetic flaws which don't amount to much. I have decided on a Hi Power as my next handgun, and will...

Saw this in another forum, thought it had a few good points. The Fighting Carbine We’ve all seen them, so-called “fighting” guns that lack the basics but are full of cheap crap. Someone can spend three-thousand dollars on accessories and still end up with a rifle that does not meet the most...

Finally finished my first AR build. I'd post pics, but haven't got any yet and I had a hard time posting the ones I did earlier, so anyway. Its a Smith & Wesson lower with DPMS internals, and a CMMG flattop upper. I cannot wait to get to a range and start shooting. This could become a...

I was just sitting here reading the threads regarding 380's and 25's, and a question popped into my head. What might happen if you necked down the 380 to accept the 32 bullet, ala .357 SIG sort of thing? Just wondering if the resultant higher pressure would produce sufficient velocity to...

Just finished my book "White Flag of the Dead" available at Lulu.com for book purchase or download. Should be available on Amazon in a few weeks. Working on a second novel now. I made sure guns were a big part of the equation...

Howdy! Looking to trade some Pachmyer Signature Grips for a Browning BDA .380. WOuld like to trade for the original factory wood grips.

Am nearly finished with building my first AR lower. Everything was going well and I am 99% completed. What's left, you might ask? Well, I have to wait for a new take down pin detent because the last one effectively launched itself into oblivion when my finger slipped putting it over the...

Have a situation here. I have shot Cowboy guns for years, never shooting anything less than a .40 caliber gun. I have owned .40 S&W guns for several years, my current gun being a full size SIG P226. I am now shooting IDPA, and my preferred caliber is .40. I picked up a Walther PPK not too...

After a whole lot of hemming and hawing, I finally went and started my first AR! I bought a S&W M&P15 stripped lower from my local shop ($160), and am now looking at various kits and such to "make it mine" as it were. I don't have a place nearby to shoot it, and likely will only pull it out...

Hello the Line! This may sound like an odd request, but I am currently in the process of writing a book. It has many guns named throughout, but I realized that I was only able to describe the sound of those guns that I have actually fired. The main character in my book recently acquired an...

I have decided that I am extremely interested in the SIG P226 line in 40cal, especially the Elite and the SCT. Does anyone own one or both that may give an honest endorsement? With the cost of these things, I can only get one or the other.

I'm looking to upgrade my competition/HD gun. I currently have an XD40 Service, but I have been intrigued by the HK P2000 and the Sig P226. In the near future I will likely choose one or the other. My gun shops have only the P226 to try in their range rentals, so I cannot do a full "shot...
