    Got me a new S&W 327PC

    S&W 327PC revolver came in. 8 rounds of scandium, titanium .357 mag N-frame goodness. Only 21.5ozs. Here it is along side of my 340PD scandium/titanium 5-shot 11.7oz J-frame .357mag. What a pair.

    Mossberg Patrol

    Just received a new Mossberg MVP Patrol TB 5.56 rifle I ordered last week. Also got the scope and base, a Bushnell 1-4x24 AR-223 PCL FFP illuminated scope and Burris QD mount. I realize it's too late to change my mind but I ordered it on the lust of the moment. Does anyone have experience with...

    Boberg XR45--S

    Ordered one last week and picked it up today. OMG! I'm in love and I haven't even fired it yet. It's 6+1 of .45ACP .45ACP+P or 45 SUPER with a 3.75" barrel, yet is smaller than a 3" 1911. It truly is pocket sized. Like my Boberg XR-9 S it's beautifully built and slick as owl poop. The slide is...

    My new SIG PM400 5.56 pistol

    Arrived on the 6th and here it is. It's FDE (obviously) with Magpul grip, forestock and rear sight with an 11" barrel. I fell immediately in lust! Some of you may recall I ordered a TacCon 3MR trigger the first day they became available. I hadn't installed it in my S&W M&P-15T yet and...

    Taylor's & Co. Uberti 1873 Cattleman .22lr

    There was another thread about buying a full sized SAA clone in .22lr and this revolver was mentioned. I decided I needed one and ordered it the same day. Picked it up today and here it is. It's a 6 shot .22lr single action revolver with a case colored frame, blued steel grip frame, cylinder...

    J framed .357 mag / new grips

    I own a S&W 340PD, this is the scandium alloy frame / titanium cylinder 11.4 oz .357mag J frame. This revolver is shipped with rubber boot grips and as you might expect it kicks like a three legged ninja. OUCH! In an effort to improve control without going to .38spl ammo I've been searching for...

    Tac-Con 3MR trigger

    The FedEx man delivered my 3MR trigger this morning. What a beautifully built piece of kit. Maybe the nicest AR part I've ever seen. The package included a new three position selector, 2 new pins that have an extra groove on one end, a wallet card version of the ATF approval letter and a...

    Fatal shooting last night

    A customer of ours just came in to redeem his pawned Taurus PT709 Slim and recounted this story to me. Last night, while stopped at a light, an armed gunman surprised him at his driver's window with a .45 cal pistol pointed at my customer's head, demanding his money and Chevy Avalanche. The...

    A new pistol for me

    Just ordered me a new S&W M&P 9mm Pro Series C.O.R.E (Competition Optic Ready Equipment) Performance Center pistol w/ 4.25" barrel. Comes with two 17 rnd. magazines and the slide is milled to accept a MRDS. Now I have to find a MRDS and a hloster. Anyone with experience?

    Beretta BU9 Nano

    Ordered a Beretta Nano last Sunday and it was waiting for me at work today. This is the first Nano I've handled and so far I'm reasonably impressed. It's small, almost exactly the same size as the Kahr PM9 but slightly thinner, I think, and slightly heavier by about 2ozs. It's a nice...

    SIG Custom Shop

    Sent my P226 into SIG for the E2 grip and Short Reset Trigger conversions Monday before last and received it back this Tuesday. Pretty fast turn around. They did a fine job of swapping out parts and sent the original parts back with the pistol. I think these two conversions have made a noticable...

    PTR91

    Co-worker ordered himself a PTR91 w/ (20) 20rnd magazines yesterday for $1369.00 from One Source Tactical. Dealer said it had a new barrel. I've always been a fan of the HK 91/G3 platform. Does this incarnation live up?

    Springfield EMP holster

    Can anyone recommend a good leather forward cant pancake style holster for the EMP. The single loop Galco I use allows the pistol to tilt out too much for easy CCW. I don't like IWB holsters.

    Bait gun

    An old guy came into the shop the other day and we talked about firearms and politics awhile. He mentioned that he always carried two handguns concealed, a small one and a big one. I piped in "for a NY reload". He said no, that his father taught him to fumble the smaller firearm and when the bad...

    I just drew my revolver on a guy

    A scruffy looking man on a bicycle just came into the shop and proceeded to reach into his front pocket and draw out a loaded Taurus .38spl revolver. When he looked up he was staring at my S&W 340PD .357mag pointing directly at his chest. He was surprised and asked if I was going to shoot him...

    Bought a used Kahr P45

    Here it is compared to my HK 45C I'm wearing today. Even though they look very similar in size the Kahr feels tiny in my hands compared to the HK. I'm thinking this Kahr may become a favored CCW piece.
