Well, I'm not really a rifle guy. Not because I don't like long guns, it's that I don't have much of a place to shoot them. I have bought a couple over the years though - a Saiga 7.62x39mm, built a Rock River AR, picked up a Marlin .357 lever gun from the early '80s for $450. I've never bought a...

I was in my LGS today and they had a used Royal II for $1,500. That seems like a ton of money for a used 1911 to me. Is there something special about this gun that warrants that kind of price? I will say it was a really nice looking gun, but I picked up a 1974 Colt Series 70 1911 with gorgeous...

Well, money is more difficult to come by lately than it used to be, but I won't get into that as it really gets me in an argumentative mood. Because of that, I don't spend much at all on hobbies any more. However, I have some gift cards that I have received through work and I have been itching...

I've been looking on and off for a SA revolver. I've asked a few questions here and have received some good advice, but I still haven't pulled the trigger, so to speak. I guess it's because I'm not as quick to spend money as I used to be since it seems to be a lot more difficult to come across...

Why in the world do they keep introducing new products that they can't possibly distribute in a reasonable and timely manner? I have four Kel-Tecs (PF9, P11, P32, Sub2000), so, I don't have a problem with the guns themselves for the most part. I think they have generally been a good value...

Well, I've been thinking about a SA revolver for a while now and I think I have it narrowed down to a New Vaquero even though the gun shop guy says he likes the Cimarron guns because they are more "Colt-like". They have two with 3 5/8" barrels and Birdshead grips. One is .45 Colt and the other...

My adrenaline is pumping like crazy right now. I had fallen asleep on the couch with the TV on and had been there less than an hour when I heard a window break, It was the door closest to me that leads to the carport. I woke up with my heart beating like crazy and grabbed a Keltec P32 and ran...

A friend of mine has a S&W model 29-3 in an odd configuration. It has a 6" barrel (+/- a little. He says it is just slightly under 6"), but here's the odd part. It has an adjustable front sight like the silhouette guns that S&W made with the 10 5/8" barrel, a full lug and the cylinder isn't...

I put money down on a S&W 3" RB model 65 about three weeks ago. I already have its cousin in a model 13 3" RB, but I thought $359 was too good to pass up. Well, I was in the same shop yesterday and they just got in a used Ruger New Vaquero Montado in polished stainless in .45 LC and they are...

I like revolvers. And, I really like S&W revolvers. Most of the time there isn't much to tempt me at the local shops other than new guns and they really don't tempt me at all. Then there are times where it seems that there is a "new" old S&W every time I stop by the LGS. Two weeks ago I stop by...

I stopped in the LGS yesterday after work and one of the guys chases me down with a box in his hand. He puts it on the counter and it is an old S&W model 37. He told me I could have it for $325. Well, I need another snubbie like I need another cheeseburger. I already have two 36s, two 442s...

I just got an email form AIM Surplus and they have Police trade-in 642s for $319.95. The picture is of the no-lock variety, so, that seems like a pretty good deal. If I didn't have two 642s and two 442s I would probably bite.

Well, I need another gun like I need another hole in my head, and I told myself I didn't need to stop in and look but I stopped to look anyway. I was perusing the used guns and passed over what I thought was a 2 1/2" 686 for $800 which I have looked at before, so, I didn't pay it much mind. I...

I was in one of the local toy stores last week and they told me that they had just got in a couple of used Pythons. I don't have this overpowering urge to own a Python, but I always look just in case there is a good deal to be had. Well, the first one had a 6" barrel and I just don't care for...

...I know nothing about Uberti. A couple of months ago I asked if Ruger was my best bet in a single action revolver and everyone that answered seemed to think that they were. However, I can't find one that gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling when I look at it. Now, I know that looks aren't...

Just curious what some of the guys that work in a gun shop would do in this situation: I was in a shop today that I stop by about once a week and look at the used stuff. There was another guy looking at the used handguns also and had his eye on a BHP for $800. I had looked at the gun before but...

...a Smith & Wesson Model 29 with a 4" barrel? I've been keeping my eye open for one of these and have never seen one in my neck of the woods. I would have to find one at the right time to be able to pick it up, but I've just never run across one. I know the 5" barreled version is rare. I see...

I know it's not as strong as the Glock Kool-Aid, but I went ahead and took a sip. I sold a Saiga 7.62x39 the other day and was thinking about trying a pocket 9. I carry a 642 and am happy with it, but thought I might want to mix it up a little. I was interested in the Kahr CM9 because I have...

Well, after a long time looking I finally found a Marlin lever gun in .357 (pre-1984 without the safety, too) for a mere $450. Now, even though I am not into any Cowboy Action Shooting, I find myself kind of wanting a SA wheelgun to go along with it. I have been a DA wheelgun kind of guy with my...

I'm thinking (just thinking right now) about selling my 1937 S&W 38-44 HD. I don't shoot it and I have really got it in my mind that I want to pay off my house as quick as I can, so, I could use the proceeds to put towards the principle. The gun itself is, I would say, in at least 95%...
