I keep looking through my J&G catalog and this Arcus keeps popping out to me. The original Arcus 98 was a Browning HP clone, this 98DA is a DA/SA variant of that gun (as so many BHP-clones eventually become). It's made in Bulgaria and apparently is used by their military and police. For a little...

I always wondered what my PPK would look like without the massive "UNDER LICENSE OF... etc" and the big S&W logo on the opposite side. A couple minutes in photoshop and this is what I came up with: Edit: Wasn't happy with the second picture so I did some more work on it. And just for...

I've had these Hogue grips on order for several months now. I had almost forgotten about them until they showed up at my door the other day. They were worth the wait. The fit is pretty excellent for a mass produced product and the quality is excellent. I wasn't able to capture the color very...

I've been doing a lot of research and scouring of this and other forums to decide on a rifle/caliber for deer hunting, a sport which I just picked up this season. I was between the Savage 116FCSS and the Tikka T3 Lite Stainless. The two calibers I had narrowed it down to were .30-06 and .308. I...

When I first went to buy a PPK I let the salesman talk me into a PPK/S instead of the PPK I wanted (they had a PPK/S on hand so that was what they wanted to sell me). I've never really been satisfied with the PPK/S because in my mind I've always wanted the PPK. I decided to do something about it...

I've had an itch for a 9mm 1911 for quite some time now. I have a Star Model B in 9mm that is based on the 1911 but not quite the same and impossible to get parts for anymore. What is the best value in a 9mm 1911 out there right now? The gun that offers a good compromise between performance and...

I've been looking for a long time for a good pocket gun and I finally made a decision today. I just picked up this Smith & Wesson 642-2 from one of my local shops. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go hammerless or not but I couldn't stand the looks of the shrouded hammer model and the exposed hammer...

I woke up this morning to an e-mail telling me Bud's now has their own forum on their website. I guess they just started it because there's only about a dozen posts total so far. Just thought I'd let everyone know about it. :D It's no TFL but it could be useful for Bud's related inquiries...

I picked up another Glock this week from Bud's. This time I went with the Glock 19, in OD to match my 26. My Glock 26 has been so accurate, reliable, and fun to shoot that I decided I would get the larger version for a full size grip and 15+1 rounds. After my third attempt at customizing one of...

Whew, almost 3 months later I now have my P6 back! It was worth the wait. I love the new finish, it really makes the gun look new again. The frame and slide are cera-hide stainless with house black controls and a new set of Meprolight night sights to replace the factory blank sights. I can't...

My first mousegun was a Keltec P3AT which gave me nothing but problem after problem. I ended up trading it in and I haven't had another mousegun since. I changed that yesterday when I found this NAA Guardian 32acp in the used counter. I ended up getting it for $290 out the door. I shot about 50...

The base gun will be this Rock Island Armory standard 5" GI 1911. I purchased it NIB with an extra Novak magazine and the grips in the picture (it came with the standard smooth grips) for $370. Now I just need to order the Ciener 22LR conversion kit. http://www.22lrconversions.com/1911-pg.htm...

I just traded my Marlin 925: For this new stainless Ruger 10/22 Carbine: The Marlin was giving me some fits with the bolt. The trigger wasn't resetting properly and the bolt would occasionally pull right out. I managed to get that issue taken care of but I was never really happy with the...

My grips finally got here today. I promised pictures so here they are: Walnut, Red Shellac Finish, Sig/P225 Logo (I would have got the P6 logo but it wasn't offered at the time I ordered) Purchased from here: http://www.marschalgrips.com/Sig-P225/sig225.htm

This is something I was thinking about this morning as I was practicing my draw with my new Glock 26. It's taking some time to get used to the grip angle so that when I draw I'm not aiming high, but it also got me thinking that it might be a good idea to find some way of weighing down the gun so...

I would like to build a .22LR 1911 to use for practice and teaching my girlfriend how to shoot. Ciener makes a complete .22LR slide in a kit for about $200 ( http://www.22lrconversions.com/1911-pg.htm ). All you need is a frame to put it on. Here is what I am thinking: A: Purchase a Rock...

I didn't want a Glock but somehow I still ended up with one. I really wanted to take home the XD9SC but it just didn't feel as good as the Glock. I originally wanted the regular black frame but the OD frame was the only one they had. I actually like the look of it on the Glock, it's a nicer...

I've been eyeballing AR's for some time now and I think I'm ready to finally bite and get one. Bud's currently has Doublestar M4 A3's for $699 on sale. This seems like a pretty awesome price for a new AR rifle. Should I jump on this or wait for something else? I've been doing some searching and...

I'm a college student (at least for 3 more weeks anyways :D) and firearms are not allowed on campus except by uniformed officers. I usually don't even bother bringing my gun because I'll just have to take it off in the parking garage and lock it up in the glove box where it might easily be...

I have these walnut grips for my Sig P6 that are currently unfinished. What type of finish should I put on them and what should I coat them with to ensure they stay looking good for a long time? Edit: I forgot to add, this gun is on its way to CCR-Refinishing to get a nice coat of stainless...
