Ok, this is one of those things that at the end of the day doesn’t really matter, but I would still like to know. I was at the range the other day and after shooting struck up a conversation with some other customers. The subject of carry ammo came up and I mentioned that I liked the...

Spoke with a guy today who bought a used handgun from a LGS. After he had it a day or two noticed that the serial number on the slide and frame do not match. He went back to the shop and the guy at first seemed concerned, but when he could not find the other matching pieces in his inventory...

So, what is the best way to remove scratches from a polymer frame? Yes, I know wear marks give it character and I am not too hung up about it. However, if I could make it look a little better – why not.

A Georgia man has filed suit against two Gwinnett County Police Officers and a Sugar Hill Security guard claiming violations of his First, Second and Fourth Amendment rights. Gwinnett County and the city of Sugar Hill are located in suburban Atlanta. This all stems from an incident where the...

I had a sort of humorous situation occur this afternoon. First, the not so funny part was an attempted break-in at neighbor’s home. When the Police arrived they found the neighbor’s front door was broken, but apparently they did not gain access to the home. As the Police Officer is taking my...

I have a friend who is selling a gun to an acquaintance of a co-worker. He wants to assure that the individual can legally own a gun, so he would like to have a NICS check run before he makes the transaction. So, can a local gun shop run a NICS check on the person he is selling the gun to? I...

I am just curious for those of you that work in the business or just frequent gun shops what is your experience with the availability of new Colt 1911 handguns. Specifically I am looking at the 1991 or XSE series. I have visited several LGSs and no one has anything and they act like it is next...

I went to the range the other day and after shooting started poking around the sales counter. They were pretty slow, so I asked to see a variety of guns and the one that caught my attention was a GLOCK G36. The G36 is the small single stack .45 which has a 6 + 1 capacity I think they call it a...

In the Georgia Legislature there is a bill in process that would lower the age for a permit/license from 21 to 18. While on the surface it sounds like a good thing what concerns me is the addition of a training requirement for 18 – 20 year olds. Currently Georgia does not require formal training...

I would like to get a good book that covers the complete disassembly and assembly of the 1911. Also, it would be nice if it covered some basic upgrades that are commonly done. While I have no problem reading large amounts of text the more pictures and illustrations included in the book the...

If a person who enjoys repairing and modifying guns as a hobby does work for family and friends is a FFL required? Does it matter if the person receives payment for their work? Keep in mind this is not a business just someone working in their home shop.

Well, be aware if you live in Georgia your freedom is at risk – the legislature is in session. That being said there is one bill being proposed that would actually restore some freedoms related to firearms. HB 981 was submitted and it addresses several issues below is a summary. I have also...

I have been looking at the Springfield Amory Loaded model 1911. I am interested in the standard size with all steel frame and low profile Novak style sights. The gun will be used primarily for personal/home defense and of course range time. If I can track one down they seem to run in the $850 -...

I have included a link to a very unsettling story. Basically a tire store manager had agreed to deliver some wheels and tires to a customer’s home. As he followed the customer they pulled into a gas station where another man appeared and tried to rob him. The manager had a gun which he was...

Three Pennsylvania Teenagers attempted to rob a sixty-five year old man. They apparently attacked him on a bike trail pushing him off his bicycle at which time he pulled a gun and shot two of the robbers killing one. The District Attorney has decided not to prosecute the guy for defending...

I was in the LGS and a guy was packing up a new SA 1911. The guy behind the counter was going over a few issues and the guy asked him how to keep the gun from rusting. The employee told him to cover the outside of the gun very liberally with oil and let it sit over night and the oil would be...

Many of you may already be aware, but just sort of a heads up a new book detailing the history of Glock was recently released. Although I have yet to read the book it apparently covers not only the firearms related issues, but also the business issues. As you may know the Glock Company has...

A North Carolina inmate apparently smuggled a .38 into jail concealed in his, well, rectum. What is comical about it is the gun was not loaded! :confused: So, why go to this much trouble for a gun you could not use? Was he hiding the gun to avoid being charged with possessing during the traffic...

Ok, saw this about a shooting in Florida. A homeowner shot a burglar through the door killing him. It seems obvious what the guy was up to based on his dress and the tools. I basically have no issues with this personally, but is this homeowner going to face legal issues? He fired through a door...
