I picked up a Star Model B from AIM last year and while it has been a very enjoyable gun to shoot the magazine springs are pretty worn out. I ordered some replacement springs from Wolff to correct the problem but while inspecting my magazines I can see no way to get the floorplate off short of...

I met up with a few friends to go shooting at Bud's the other day and I saw that they had SW99's in both 9mm and 40S&W for $325. These were show guns that had been used as display models at gun shows. They came "NIB" with a factory warranty and Trijicon night sights. I figured for $325 that was...

I finally bought what I would consider a real wheel gun. I've had a M1985 Nagant that I bought when I first got my C&R license but I've never shot it or owned ammunition for it so I don't really count it. I've been wanting a nice powerful and reliable hand gun for the range and home defense, so...

Here is the digitized version of the German P6 manual I promised; for those who are interested: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IFJDD5UH Size is 15.6MB. Just type in the three letter code provided at the top and click download. If anyone has a better host and would like to host the PDF just let...

The barrel that came on my P6 was well worn in some areas and was missing the bluing. For the sake of protecting the barrel and for a minor aesthetic improvement I decided to polish and re-blue the barrel. These are the materials you need: This is my barrel as it looked before I started...

I was browsing the Bud's Gun Shop website (as I so often do) and noticed they had just added a Sig Sauer P6 police trade-in package. Cost on the website was $325, in store was $324. Being in Lexington, a mere 20 minutes from Bud's, I hopped in the car and drove over to look at them. I really...

I traded in my Kahr CW9 this morning. It was an excellent CCW gun but I wanted something with either larger capacity or a more powerful round. So this is what I picked up: It's a Para-Ordnance Covert Black Slim Hawg. It holds 7+1 rounds of 45ACP and weighs 24 ounces empty. It came with what...

I'm thinking of trading in my Kahr CW9 for something in a 45ACP. The Kahr has worked flawlessly for me other than the faulty magazine followers (which Kahr has addressed), I just want something with a bit more power. I'm planning on spending no more than $600. In that price range I've looked at...

One of my friends had his deer rifle stolen this morning; right at the beginning of deer season. I offered to let him borrow one of my rifles to take hunting since all he has left is his muzzle loader. The catch is that I only collect C&R rifles so the only gun I can loan him will be a WWII-era...

This is the Star Model B I just received from AIM this afternoon. It was exactly as advertised and I think it actually looks a little better than the one they show on their website. There's about 14 pictures so it may take a while to load. The Star Model B is based off a simplified version of...

I've been looking for a concealed carry weapon in a 45 caliber and I'm having a tough time making a decision. My Kahr has spoiled me with it's ultra-thin frame, and now almost everything I pick up feels fat and heavy. I looked at a few Kimber Ultra Carry's and similar offerings from STI...

Does anyone know what slip-on grip fits the Taurus Millennium Pro PT111/140 (9mm/40S&W)? I was looking at Hogue's product line and there are quite a few slip on grips available. :confused:

I've been lusting after the Sig P232 Stainless on the Sig/Sauer website ever since I bought my PPK. I was looking at a blued P232 and the stainless PPK/S. They were both the same price and I had always wanted a PPK so I took home the Walther. I really liked the P232 but I wanted it in stainless...

My new grips came in today from http://abc.eznettools.net/cgi-bin/ez-catalog/cat_display.cgi?25X300536 . I think these are some of my best pictures yet. The new grips make this gun feel 100% better. They fit straight out of the box. I didn't have to do anything with them. They also...

I just graduated from the "Playboypenguin School of Photography". The girlfriend got home with the cameras last night so here are the pictures I promised! Too many images for one post, see next post for more~

Well I went to the range today and compared the Walther PPK/S to the Bersa Thunder 380. Initial impressions and build quality: First impressions are that the Walther is a much higher quality piece than the Bersa, as one would expect looking at the two price tags. Even without knowing the price...

I've just about made up my mind that my next gun will be either a PPK or PPK/S. I like the feel of the PPK/S a little better than the PPK but I still haven't really made up my mind. I'm also trying to decide between the .32 or .380. I've been told that you really feel the difference in the two...

I've been wanting to add a revolver to my collection but I can't bring myself to pay over $500 for one. What's the best revolver in the $300-400 range? Not planning on using it for CC or self-defense. Just a gun that's fun to shoot and can handle a little snake shot for camping. ;)

I've been eyeing this Walther PPK/S at my local shop for about a month now. I've been tempted to buy it every time I've gone in there. On most of my firearm purchases I've sort of jumped in head first without looking. I'd like to actually do my homework before purchasing this time. I've already...
