So I was presented with an early Father's day gift yesterday in the form of a shiny new Smith and Wesson M&P Shield in .40 caliber. I had been wanting a "tiny nine or fotay Big Grin" for some time but every time I would get close to pulling the trigger some quirk or another would drive me away...

Posted in wrong forum originally. Every Christmas I both squirrel away and get some money. Ever since I was a kid I would buy myself my own toy or toys after Christmas and that always made for fantastic fun for me. This is not to say my normal Christmas / Birthday was anything less then...

Every Christmas I both squirrel away and get some money. Ever since I was a kid I would buy myself my own toy or toys after Christmas and that always made for fantastic fun for me. This is not to say my normal Christmas / Birthday was anything less then amazing just that I always enjoy buying...

So we were traveling this past week and on the way home from a nice 14 hour drive, after a rough vacation we were only about an hour and a half from our door step. The baby was sleeping and we were in the home stretch......then the crying starts. Well LMSWMBO(Little Miss She Who Must Be...

I have been on a bit of a Beretta kick as of late and recently picked up a Beretta 92A1. I own, shoot and collect firearms not as a result to placate some tactical or defensive need or desire but primarily because I enjoy the history, mechanics, industrial aesthetics and discipline that comes...

I don't generally have much time to post or shoot as much as I used to but since I a few moments I figured I would post a quick review of the Beretta PX4 Storm. I find that reviews of products on forums, whether firearms related or not, can be an invaluable data point and since I use that data...

I had a buddy ask me today if I knew anything about an explosive target shoot in TN that somebody told him about. I figure it is some kind of tannerite shoot but I know nothing of it. Anybody else know of any shoots or ranges in TN doing this? Thanks Chris

I love my 3inch GP100, bought many years back from Wilditwasagooddealfreeadvertisingplugalaska and it is damn near one of my favorite guns ever. I would love to find a 3 inch blued model to go with it but cannot seem to find any. So what is the deal do they make a blued one anymore?

For an XD45 with a light attached (streamlight TLR1). This is not for carry or real use so to speak it is just to store the gun and keep the trigger covered. I handle my sd guns every day from nightstand to safe and back and I like having them in a basic holster covering the trigger. No...

For example you want a .22 bolt action far and away the CZ452 tends to get the nod. The 1911, the Glock 19, the Smith 642, The Ruger Mark II etc. What are the common factors that come together to make that sweet spot in a given firearm that sort of makes it rise to the top of the...

So I have this run of the mill Colt 1911 but it has one oddity that I think about from time to time but haven't been able to get an answer for. The Barrel (chamber) is marked -.45 Auto Euro - and I don't know what this means or why it is marked this way. I am attaching pictures of the...

So I know Smith released the last of the K frames with 7 shot cylinders (the 620 I think? maybe 618?) At any rate I am thinking of sending in a 66-3 for some work and was wondering if it is feasible to have it converted to a 7 shot cylinder. Any ideas? Thanks Chris

I have a Model 66-3 that has started to have some light strikes so I figured I would send it in to Smith and have them work it over. Basically I am thinking of having the following done. Bead Blasting 4 inch barrel replaced with 3inch Front night sight added Trigger job Fix any issues...

Anybody know any reputable dealers/appraisers in NC that may have knowledge of Civil War era firearms? Thanks Chris

So my Uncle came across an old Civil War revolver and, of course, sent the family gun-nut on the quest for info. I have no pictures at this point and very little info but figured I would dip into the well of knowledge to see if anybody has any info at this point. Below is from the email he...

http://www.pilkguns.com/menu_ar15.shtml I have to say I myself am intrigued, even though the price is very high. Most quality airguns are, however, priced as high or higher then powder burners.

What is ammo availability like. Is this new round dead on the vine or will it take hold? I am normally pretty traditional in my caliber selections but there is something about a six shot SP101 in this caliber that tugs at me. Educate me please

Somebody was injured in some way or another and I heard shot with small caliber handgun. I was just showing up to shoot right after it happened. Engine company, two PD units and a paramedic arrived. They guy they took out appeared to be moving on the gurney and didn't appear to be in...

So I picked up a new production GP100 6 inch tonight. This is a fresh one since it came with the hogues which while comfortable do nothing for me. I liked the old grips but I digress. So this GP100 out of the box, factory new has a fantastic double action trigger, much better then the new...

How about a little seven for sure. :D Smith 681PC and a Smith 686-4 plus.
