    I Started A Grail Gun Search: S&W Model 27 With A 3 1/2" Barrel

    The more I see pictures of these the more I want one. In fact, I now believe that this configuration is the most attractive revolver I have ever seen. The problem is they are getting out of range for me as far as price is concerned. I ran across a nickel finished one in rough shape last year for...

    School Me On The Smith & Wesson 1917

    I have no experience with these other than seeing a picture here and there as they just don't turn up where I live. A guy at work bought one this weekend (or what I believe to be one) at an auction and was trying to make sure that it is what I think it is. He thinks it was originally chambered...

    Source For Semi-Wad Cutters, Please

    I was considering buying some 158 gr semi-wad cutters. Is there a good place to buy reasonably priced ammo in bulk? I've looked at Georgia Arms and they seem to be decent. Is there a better place? And, no, I don't reload at present.

    How A Box Of Ammo Cost An Acquaintance Over $5,000

    I work at a shop that does free transfers, so, we get A LOT of transfers in and get to see a lot of interesting stuff coming through. There is a customer that comes in that has really been bitten by the revolver bug and he gets his guns transferred to us so he can pick them up. He was on a Smith...

    There's A New Ruger 1911 On The Horizon

    It looks like Ruger just announced a lightweight commander to add to their lineup. http://www.ruger.com/products/sr1911/models.html

    Just For Fun: Sell SA Loaded And Buy Colt 01991 Government Or Not

    I just bought a Colt 1991 Combat Commander (too darn cheap to pass up) and now I am tossing about the idea of selling an unfired SA Loaded and picking up a Colt 1991 Government before the rebate expires. I'm not losing any sleep over it, just thinking about it. I know the Springfield is more...

    I Found This A Bit Amusing

    I don't buy gun rags anymore, but I'll look at the covers as I walk by the racks and will sometimes see something interesting. The other day I noticed this on the cover and chuckled a bit. I wonder how many "eyes" checked out the cover before going to press.

    I Just Bought My First Colt Combat Commander

    I noticed that Palmetto State Armory had Colt 1991 Combat Commanders advertised for $599.99 today and I thought to myself, "Wow, that seems cheap!", so, I bought one. I know it's the most basic gun they offer but I also know that dealer cost on these is about $840. These deals cannot last...

    I Can't Seem To Break Away From Carrying A Revolver

    I've carried a 642 for a long time. It's nothing special, but I trust it. I carry it any time I am wearing jeans or casual pants. If I am wearing sweats I'll carry an LCP even though I would really rather be carrying the 642. I can't tell you how many small 9mm autos I have picked up thinking...

    Is The Sig SB15 Brace In Jeopardy For AR15 Pistols?

    I ran across this short snippet today concerning a shotgun that was designed to use the Sig Brace and the ATFs response was interestig enough that the author wonders whether it will affect the ruling on the use of the brace on an AR pistol. http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/end-sig-brace

    Do You Think The Colt Revolver Bubble Will Burst Anytime Soon?

    I look at Gunbroker auctions quite a bit (real bored at work) and, like everyone else, have noticed some bizarre prices for Colt snake guns lately. For example, $41, 000 for a Combat Python a couple of months ago, almost $15, 000 for another Combat Python in an auction that is about to end, and...

    Would/Do You Carry A "Pretty" Gun?

    I bought a Sig P938 SAS about a month or so ago and it is a very nice looking gun. It's nice enough that I don't know if I want to carry it. So I ran across a great deal on another P938 (AG model) that is pretty plain but would functionally be no different than the SAS. I can't afford to keep...

    A Little Hi Power Help

    I'm looking at a Hi Power and here are the roll marks: "Fabrique Nationale Herstal Belgique" on left side of slide. There are no roll marks on the right side of the slide except for the serial number, which is 245NMxxxxx. There is a star on the frame above the trigger on the right side and...

    Ruger LCR In 9mm - Anybody In For One?

    I see that Ruger is now doing a 9mm LCR. Will anyone be jumping on this to replace their current carry rig? http://www.ruger.com/products/lcr/specSheets/5456.html

    I Just Picked Up A Sig P938 SAS For......

    ......$499.99 + $17.00 shipping. I don't know how Palmetto State Armory sells them this cheap, but I couldn't pass it up at that price. I work at a gun shop and that's about $75 under cost. Now, what to sell to pay for it?

    A Tale Of A S&W 19-4 And Bass Pro Shops

    I will sometimes stop by Bass Pro on my day off to see what they have in the way of rimfire ammo and while doing so will walk through the Fine Gun Room. Most everything in there is out of range for me but I like to look at the handguns anyway. I walked over to the case with the revolvers and...

    CDNN Has Black Rain ARs On Closeout Starting @ $999

    They start at $999 for the PG5. The PG5 on CDNNs site is pictured with a 7" rail vs a 9" rail in the pboto on BROs site but other than that they look the same. This seems to me to be a screaming deal, or am I missing something. I know ARs in general are not selling well (or at all), but these...

    FN Belgium Hi Powers at Aim Surplus

    I received an email today that they have FN Belgium manufactered and assembled 9mm Hi Powers starting at $409.95. They have sold out of the pre-63 models but have two others available. I wish I had some extra money so that I could pick one up. I've always wanted one, but never picked one up...

    This Evening I Learned What It Takes To Make Up An Arsenal

    I am watching the show 20/20 about Elliott Rodger and Barbara Walters said that in the aftermath of the tragedy the police discovered a veritable arsenal in his car: three handguns and 400 rounds of ammunition. Of course nothing was mentioned about the knife that was used. All I can do is set...
