So, those of you who regularly check the semi-auto handgun forum already know about the Romanian Draco I picked up today. I'll go ahead and repost a picture (because we all love pictures). I am looking to do a SBR conversion on this gun. I'm looking for resources to help me along the legal...

So I was in Bud's Gun Shop the other day taking a look around, like I do pretty much every weekend, and I saw a peculiarly small AK-47 sitting on a display table. I picked it up and noticed that it was in fact an AK pistol instead of a rifle. It was a Romanian Draco 7.62x39mm AK-47 Pistol...

I've been wanting to purchase a semi-auto rifle that was capable of long range shots and carrying enough of a punch to be equally useful in both personal defense and as a hunting rifle should either need arise. In addition to range and power I also wanted a rifle that wouldn't be prohibitively...

Please forgive the image quality, it was raining outside so I had to take the pictures indoors. It's a new Colt Delta Elite 10mm. I'm hoping to take it out to the range tomorrow if it doesn't rain. I've wanted a 10mm for a long time, I suppose it's hard to find a better first one. :D I'm...

I've been keeping my eyes open for a nice stainless Colt 1911 and it seems like most people who own them either never sell them or they get get bought before I can make it in to even look at them. Fortunately I happened upon this Colt Lightweight Commander XSE in 45ACP right after it had been...

So here is my dilemma, I own a number of stainless guns which are polished on the flats and matte everywhere else. After a while I've noticed that these matte areas tend to get pretty dirty from carry and use and I haven't found a good way to clean them. I don't want to accidentally polish the...

I love the looks and feel of the S&W M&P series of handguns but I cannot get over the two-piece broken in half trigger they have. Does anyone make a replacement single-piece trigger that does not have the hinge in the middle?

Well I finally picked up the carbine I've always wanted: It's a Beretta CX4 Storm 9mm with the Beretta 92FS magazine insert. The factory mags are two standard 15 round Beretta 92FS magazines. I plan on picking up a few Mec Gar semi-flush 20 rounders to increase the capacity since the...

This is a question I've been wondering for a while. Why don't they make slides out of lighter material than carbon or stainless steel? Wouldn't it be possible to make a polymer slide with metal parts in the high-stress areas, similar to how they make polymer frames now? A slide with an internal...

Over the past couple months I've replaced the grips of several of my guns and just got around to taking pictures of them all today. Here are the target grips I got for my Model 63. They not only make the gun much more comfortable and easier to shoot but they also help a lot with the proportions...

I finally found my perfect J-Frame grips. Please excuse how dirty the gun is, I didn't have a chance to do more than a quick wipe-down before taking the pictures. The pictures also came out a lot darker than I had hoped. I'm working on a new light box which should eliminate that issue though. I...

I finally got around to taking pictures of the new grips on my P220. These are factory grips from the P220 Elite. They are much nicer than anything you can get aftermarket (with the exception of NIL's of course) and they were actually cheaper than most aftermarket checkered grips. I think they...

I picked up this Glock 17 RTF2 today from Bud's. It may be ugly but the new grip feels 10X better than the old 3rd gen Glock grip did and the new grip serrations actually make a big difference in the amount of grip you can get on the slide. I bought this as a range gun, home defense gun, and/or...

I recently traded my Glock 19OD for a government trade-in Glock 21. This one is still in like new condition and has every option you can get on a Glock without getting a compensated model (extended controls and night sights). The trigger on this feels much heavier than the Glock 19 it replaced...

I currently own a Glock 19 OD. I have the opportunity to trade it for a 3rd gen Glock 21 with night sights. I don't carry the Glock 19 so its "compact" size doesn't benefit me much. Right now it's my bedside gun and that is the role this Glock 21 would fill as well. Would you just keep the Glock...

A post over on the S&W forum prompted me to do some research on this rare revolver. It was called the Wilson Combat W66CCR, with the CCR standing for "Custom Carry Revolver". Less than 100 were made between 1998 and 2001. The base gun was a S&W Model 66-5 with a 2.5" barrel. The man at Wilson...

I have been pondering this decision for some weeks now and can't seem to make up my mind. Which would you rather have for OWB concealed carry? S&W Model 686 Plus 3": Pros: -Lighter recoiling with .357 Magnum loads -Holds 7 rounds -Huge grip selection -Better factory sights Cons: -Over 10oz...

Does anyone know if.. A: You can buy these grips separate from the gun? and... B: Whether they are square butt or round butt? Thanks! I'd love to have a set of these for my new Model 63. :D

Or at least someone is trying to imitate them... http://www.hoguestore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=569_8_652&products_id=6481

There are 3 or 4 different gun stores I check out on Friday or Saturday each weekend just to browse the used shelves and see if anything interesting has shown up. The first shop was a little disappointing, there wasn't much of anything in there other than long guns, however, at the second shop I...
