Okay, I know it's a cheap 1911 but when I bought this thing I had read reviews and the vast majority had nice things to say about the gun. Some even liked them better than the Rock Islands. Anyway, it's a 5" Military (their model name) and I had it at the range for the first time yesterday. I...

Due to some job related financial setbacks over the last few years, it's been a looonnnggg time since I have been to the range (measured in years, not weeks or days). It may be a while before I get to go again, which is a shame, because today I stunk up the place. Since the last time I have...

Well, GunsAmerica had a little blurb that hints differently. "The folks at Colt were blown away (and admittedly surprised) about how much buzz and excitement came from the announcement of the 1903 at last years SHOT Show. We were told that the excitement was so great that the Colt Custom Shop...

.......or have any or all of the states that allowed them since changed the laws to ban those also?

I stopped by a LGS today to look around and chat with the owner as I do once in awhile on my day off. It's a small shop and he gets a few interesting things in here and there. If he gets a Smith & Wesson revolver in that he has questions about he'll have me look at it (not that I'm an expert by...

Do any of you narrow your firearms puchases down to some self-imposed category in order to limit your purchases? Or, is anything fair game? I've sometimes thought about doing that in order to cut back on calibers and types of firearms available for purchase. Obviously the poll questions are...

I was talking to a regular customer in the store the other day and he is always looking for certain revolvers or lever guns or what have you and he told me he was looking for a Marlin 1894 .44 Mag. I told him that I would let him know if I ever got one in and mentioned in passing that I had a...

I know they are all functionally the same, so, this is just a question about what you like asthetically? I have an SAS and one of the Sportsman models that I added Hogue G-10 grips to. I'm looking at one of the engraved models for kicks and would sell one of the others if I picked one up.

I had a guy offer to sell me a mid-eighties Colt Officer 1911 today and, so far, can't make up my mind about it. It has what looks to be a parkerized finish and standard Colt grips. The finish is pretty good except for the front strap. It has wear like maybe someone was shooting it with a ring...

I work at a pawn shop and never really buy anything just because I like to leave the cool stuff for the customers. However, there was a gun come out today that I have kind of wanted for a while but they are generally more than I can pay for a gun. So, I asked what it would take for me to buy it...

I bought a Colt Combat Commander in December (it was a great deal) and would like to pick up something else while prices are low. Their financial problems lead me to believe I should do it sooner rather than later because if some entity (say, the Freedom Group) gets a hold of them then I'll have...

This morning I noticed on Slickguns that a shop by the name of ZX Guns out of Indiana had Kel-Tec PMR-30s for $344 shipped. That's the cheapest I've seen them, but they would still be making 15% (plus a $9.99 handling fee) so I did a cursory check on the store online and they seemed legit....not...

I just read and interesting post by a fairly large and well respected gun shop about being dropped from the Glock Blue Label program because they wouldn't allow access to their 4473s. I wonder if that means that all of those Blue Label dealers that are not being dropped are giving Glock access...

I noticed Gunbuyer.com has them for $499 at the moment. Comes with Sig night sights, Hogue grips, TWO magazines and Sig laser. Free shipping. Sounds like a heck of a deal to me. http://www.gunbuyer.com/p-66193-sig-sauer-p938-two-tone-9mm-centerfire-pistol-with-sig-laser.aspx

First, let me say that I'm not a fanboy. I own a 26 and a 19 because I think Glock makes a good firearm at a reasonable price. Lately, I have been thinking about moving to a small 9mm with a couple of extra magazines instead of the trusty 642, but can't decide on what gun to settle on. I have a...

I may start carrying two j-frames. One will be in a pocket and the other will be on the hip. What experiences do any of you have with an OWB leather holster that doesn't carry the gun too low and will not cost me an arm and a leg. Thanks.

I have been carrying for quite a few years now and have carried a 642 90% of the time with the other 10% being something like an LCP. I have always felt like I had plenty of gun with me for the places in town that I frequent.....until the last year or so. The city I live in is consistently in...

Apparently the factory failed to stamp the caliber on the barrel, or so the story goes.

I asked this question over at Kahr Talk but got no response. I bought a CM9 sometime back thinking I would carry it but I haven't even got around to shooting it yet because I can't seem to get away from carrying a revolver. I 'll drag it out once in awhile and cycle some snap caps through it...

I have a 642 and a 442, each with no lock. I have pocket carried a 642 for almost eight years and love how it carries. However, recently I sometimes find myself feeling like I need something more. The city I live in has a population of about 150,000 and with the surrounding areas the population...
