So for this project I want to use my Gen 4 Glock 17 which is bone stock. I don't shoot it much anymore so would like to turn it into a competition...

    P95 and P90

    Just picked up a Ruger P95 and a P90 both in great shape for $500 all in out the door. Kind of feel like I hit the jackpot. The P95 had a bit of rust which cleaned up with almost no effort. Both guns were sitting in a small gun store that tailors more towards the tactical side of the world so...

    So I kind of suck at shooting pistols

    I own a lot of pistols. Over time I have shot a lot of pistols. I kind of suck at shooting pistols. This seems to be an anomaly to admit on a shooting forum. I'm not a competitor or handgun hunter. I like pistols for the history, mechanical operation, fun of shooting, and the potential...

    Canik TP9 SFX Red Dot help

    I made an impulse purchase and now need some advice. I found a TP9 SFX at a local gun store for a price I could not pass up. Came in the box with all of the red dot plates. I've never used a red dot on a pistol and I'm a bit at a loss in terms of what I should get. The gun comes with mounting...

    Taurus Thunderbolt

    Well think I just got a project. Went into my LGS this weekend to pick up a Henry I ordered. Sitting behind the counter was a stainless Thunderbolt in 357. Did not even realize Taurus made such a thing. Serial number starts with a BR so its not one of the late runs which based on reviews...

    Easiest gun to keep running

    I was reading Guns of the Old West magazine yesterday and they had an article on one of the Pedersoli reproduction lever guns called the 1873 Trapper in 45LC. In the article the author referenced how easy it was to maintain given the spaciousness of the frame and simplicity of the action. I...

    I have a confession to make about .32 ACP

    I love the stupid things. I don't know why. I don't carry one but I have developed an all encompassing passion to collect all things .32. This started after receiving my C&R license. I simply did not realize the shear number of 32 auto firearms there were out there and the history and variation...

    Single Action with a Decocker

    Was reading about the development of the P64 specifically that the Polish Police wanted a gun that had an extremely hard double action pull to make it harder for a policeman to discharge the first shot with the firearm. Evidently this was done to require careful preparation and thought before...

    Affordable Single Shot Rifles

    Are there any decent single shots available under $1000? I'm not looking at break actions. Only really interested in falling blocks, trapdoors, or rolling blocks. Also needs to be in a deer or bigger caliber so thinking .357 if a pistol caliber or .243 if rifle caliber. I've looked and while...

    $600 to spend and nothing I need

    Had a fun experience the other day. I won a $500 gift card to a local sporting goods store that despite being a "big box" store is a stellar place to buy firearms. Sales folks are generally very knowledgeable and if you catch them in a blind spot every one I have ever worked with was up front...

    Needing a new 22LR Bolt Gun

    My wife took my gun. On a recent trip to the range my wife evidently adopted my rifle and told me very clearly it is now hers. So I get to replace it. I use this mainly for range fun and some light critter hunting around a cabin we own. I have not been in the market for a 22 bolt gun for...

    Switching Stocks on an M44

    I purchased an M44 recently for a great price as I'm looking for a shooter. Bore is solid and despite some pitting on the bolt knob all the metal is in pretty good shape. The stock on the other hand not so much. Its rough. I toyed with the idea of just cleaning up the stock but thinking its...

    New Friend

    Saw this the other day and being a revolver lover could not pass it up. Lock up is rock solid and everything appears to function perfectly. Looks like it was handled and holstered a lot and maybe shot a little. Bore looks almost perfect and cylinders are extremely clean. Lost a lot of the...
