Hey all, I'm really a complete single action newbie. I know next to nothing about these guns (at least in terms of brands, what's desirable, etc.-I suppose I do have a basic understanding of how they operate). Anyway, I've recently been getting into the old spaghetti western films, and picked...

I've been looking at the Ruger SP-101 for Concealed Carry, it has a great price, and looks like it cleans up real nice with some new grips and some minor buffing to bring out the stainless shine. BUT, I just found a used S&W 65 with a 4" barrel (stainless, no lock) for about $100 less. I guess...

Hey, just curious, I was looking for a serial number search online for a Wingmaster I just purchased- so that I could know when it was made. I found one but it only goes up to 1972. I believe mine was made after that, so, where should I go? Any help would be greatly appreciated. ~Jake.

I have $250-$300 to blow at a gun show that's coming up here in Omaha, and as we recently got concealed carry passed here, I was thinking... All I really know is I want something small that's not plastic. No weaker than a .380. I realize that's not a whole lot of money, but last year I walked...

I don't know anything about rifles (I've owned a handful of handguns and shotguns), but I'm thinking about buying a relatively inexpensive one so I can hunt deer with the father in law this upcoming season (and I'd like to have a SHTF rifle). I have ABSOLUTELY no idea what to get, caliber...

Just put a used 870 Wingmaster on layaway, wanted it b/c it's a 26" (what I wanted for inbetween home defense/hunting use), and could shoot 3" (some of the other used ones were only 2 3/4"). BUT, I did notice the choke tube that was in the barrel only had two notches for the wrench (not four...

Hey all, Just acquired a 12 gauge Winchester 1300 (Ranger) pump. I really dig the feel of this gun, the pump feels buttery smooth, and it seems to point very well for me. HOWEVER, the one thing I really don't like about it is the flimsy plastic trigger guard. I don't abuse my firearms, but...

I'm looking to buy a new shotgun, and I was wondering if you guys could help me pick one out. I have some general requirements, but no real idea other than that. I'd like it to be 12 gauge, 3" (No need for 3 1/2). I like a nice blue finish (no matte or parkerized), and I prefer wood stock...

I was wondering if any of you have any pieces of "knowledge" floating around out there that you know personally to be false. For example: "all Taurus guns are crap", or on the other side of the coin, "all Colts are amazing".

I'm looking for a concealed carry gun, and was checking out the Sig 232 (a semi-auto .380 that I can get for around $450), but pretty much decided against it; not because it's a .380, but because I ran into this Rossi .357 snubby. It's stainless, looks beautiful, and feels built like a...

*stainless (preferrably not brushed) *wood grips, w/ fingergrooves (even if it means buying them seperately) *3" or less (barrel) This might sound like a hundred revolvers out there, but I really do want to see my reflection in it (no brushed stainless), and I absolutely need the finger grooves...

I know Taurus makes a damn good clone of the Beretta M9, but I don't see many other "generic" versions out there. Does anyone know of, or have any reccomendations for other versions of this tried and true platform? ~Jake

Basically looking for what it says in the title. A small, stainless 1911 that won't break the bank. Also, I hear so much about break-in periods: sometimes over 1000 rounds! I don't buy this. Is there any user-friendly, reliable out of the box stainless 1911 out there that fits this bill...

I know this is asked all the time, but I'm looking for something relatively specific. I'm looking for a pocket carry, auto loading pistol, .380 or lower. It'd be nice if it was stainless steel, and definitely not polymer. What would you reccomend for around $400? Or will it cost more? ~Jake.

Two weeks ago, I had the choice to buy either a Springfield XD .45 (Tactical), an EAA Witness .45, a Ruger P series .45, or a Smith and Wesson .357 (stainless), all based on my limited funds, and all based on the fact that I wanted a larger caliber handgun. I picked the Ruger. It's the 97DC...

What if I wanted a 1911 style pistol that I could be sure would not FTF, and always fire straight, right out of the box?.. If I wanted a bare bones pistol, no fancy bells and whistles, without some nonsense 1500-round break-in period? Would you say that this pistol exists? And if so, would I...

I just recently bought a Ruger P97DC. It's functioned reasonably well so far, no jams, but... the first time I took it to the range, I shot through 50 rounds (very quickly), and one of the rounds (in the middle of a 7 shot mag) wouldn't fire, and the hammer was down, instead of up (in single...
