Well, I've been wanting to add to the ammo stash, so, I've been looking at Aim Surplus when they email me about new products. I went to order a few things from them today and kept running into the "SOLD OUT" notification on every item I wanted. I was just a couple of days too late. I ended up...

A friend of mine emailed me a link to this and it is a very cool idea for hiding firearms in plain sight. I've thought about a safe, but I think I like this idea a little better. It obviously has no fire protection, but other than that I think it is quite a bit nicer than having a safe. Does...

I've always wanted a 1911 in .38 Super, but what a way to get one.

I am buying a Mossberg 500 used but it has the pistol grip. I don't want a pistol grip, so, I bought one of the Hogue 12" LOP rubber overmolded stocks to replace it. However, it didn't come with the bolt and the gunshop where I bought it doesn't have anything. Does someone know how long of a...

I don't buy much of anything anymore (in fact I've been in the selling mode for a while), but I still love to go to the local gun shops and poke around. The only new gun that I've seen and have been interested in lately is the SA XDs. However, I wasn't going to buy one, because I just didn't...

I've seen a little bit of Cint Smith in short video clips and he seems very knowledgable and, oddly enough, funny. I've thought about picking up a training video here and there and was curious to know if any of you have watched any Thunder Ranch Stuff and what you think of them.

I looked on the Desantis site and they listed it as the same holster as the Nano, but other sites have it listed differently. Does anyone have one that can let me know what it is for sure. The Nano holster just seems like it would be too small to me.

I am brand new to shotguns and am picking up a used Mossberg 500. Are there any usefull add-ons to consider for it? I don't want to hang a bunch of stuff from it, so, I don't care about rails and scope mounts and the like. I guess I'm wondering if stuff like a sidesaddle ammo carrier, sling...

I've been looking for an inexpensive entry point to shotguns and got in today as cheap as I've seen in my area. I've been looking at Remington 870s and just about bought one at Academy Sports this past Saturday if it wouldn't have been for the extemely crappy service. So, today I stopped by the...

I was doing laundry last night and went across the street to one of the LGS to see what was new. There was a man and woman talking to one of the counter guys and I like to listen in to shop conversations for fun so I lingered a bit. They were looking at tacti-cool long guns and the guy pointed...

For the last couple of years my mom has given my sister and I a little bit of money as a gift for Christmas. So, now I'm playing around with the idea of getting a suppressed AR upper. Here's what I would like to have if possible: an AR upper in either 9mm or 5.56 with an integral suppressor...

For some reason the .22 magnum cartridge has me intrigued. I thought about one of the PMR-30s some time back, but of course they are nearly impossible to come across. Then I started thinking, "If I am going to look at buying a .22 Magnum gun, why not get a revolver?". I think the PMR-30 will...

I know there are a lot of people that buy Ruger revolvers, but is there a large group of people that collect Ruger revolvers? The Number of Smith & Wesson and Colt collectors is vast and you hear and read about these guns as collectables regularly. I don't hear as much about Ruger collectors...

I was reading the newest American Rifleman and they reviewed the Colt New Frontier single actions in .44 Special and .45 Colt. The guns were gorgeous (except for the grips, as was noted in the review). The list price was $1,455 each. The review stated that, while there was a lot of machining of...

I bought a used S&W model 17-8 in the box three or four years ago. It's the one with the bead blast finish and the aluminum 10 shot cylinder. I bought it on a whim because I never see blued model 17s in my area and it wasn't a bad price at the time. Now, I'm thinking I would like to have a...

I have a '66-'67 RB model 36 and a '76-'77 SB model 36 that will go to new homes tonight. My mom and sister will be the recipients. Both of the guns are in excellent shape. I was going to give them each a 442, but I believe those would be a bit too snappy for both of them. At roughly 4 1/2 oz...

I have a S&W model 520 that I picked up a few years ago for a real nice price, but it didn't have the factory grips. It has some nice finger groove grips on it now, but I would like it to look more original. It was supposed to have the N frame PC Magna grips with black washers when new, but I...

A few years ago I just happened, by chance, to get on Grant Cunningham's list for some custom work. I had a 1974 Colt Detective special that I had picked up for $320 at Bass Pro that I had elected to be the recipient of the work. I was going to have him bob the hammer, work over the trigger...

There is an MC Sports in my area, and while they rarely have anyone in the gun department to offer any assistance I will stop in once in awhile and check their ammo. I stopped about a week ago and was looking at some .45acp. They have a lot of Fiocchi and it is generally the cheapest. The guy...

Well, the economy being what it is has put me in a position where I thought it would be prudent to start "thinning the herd" so to speak. I sold a S&W model 19 the other day and have a Kahr P9 up for sale now on Armslist with more handguns to come in the future. Now, I'm trying to decide what...
