    One Historical Pistol

    If you could own one gun purely for historical purposes, not to shoot, which would it be? I think I'd have to go with the Walther that Hitler used to kill himself with. A close runner up would be Lee Harvey Oswalds rifle. How about you?

    Movie Gun Errors

    I was watching Bad Boys last night. In the scene where they go into the convenience store and the clerk pulls out a Desert Eagle, the hammer is not cocked back (the DE is single action). Granted he didn't shoot it, but it seemed like a problem nonetheless. I also remember James Bond running...

    Most Expensive Mags

    Just out of curiosity, what's the most expensive pistol magazine you've seen advertised, where was it advertised, and how much did they want for it??? Also, what's the most you've ever paid for a single pistol mag??? I've seen P99 hi-caps advertised as high as 125, and I just saw some P7M13...

    Sabra Holsters

    I have this great holster that I picked up for 10 or 15 bucks at a gun show. I remember the guy who sold it to me was israeli. It was marked "Sabra, Made in Israel". It's been a great hoslter, but it's getting a little worn and I'd like to pick up another one. Has anyone ever heard of these...

    Smith 686

    I just bought (didn't really buy, but did a "buy it now" bid on one of the gun auction websites) for a new in box S&W 686 with a 4 inch barrel and wooden Goncalo Alves grips. $370 plus shipping and my local transfer fee. I think I did very well. What do you think?

    S&W 686 Grips - Which is better?

    The wooden Goncalo Alves grips or the Hogue rubber grips? Which do you find more comfortable, better, and why?

    Glock 19 vs. Walther P99

    I'm not looking to buy either of these guns (I already have a P99 and a G23). However, I've seen lots of posts calling these two the perfect "If I could only have one gun" guns. I tend to agree, as both have available non-LEO hi-caps that hold lots of rounds (15-16) of a good cartridge (9mm)...

    Colt Gold Cup Questions (2)

    1. My new Colt Gold Cup seems to be missing the trigger stop. It's the little screw that goes inside the trigger. I called the dealer, and he said the other Colt Gold Cup he had in stock was also missing the screw. Has this happened to anyone else? Has Colt simply just sent out a new one? 2. My...

    What do you do with more than one of the same gun???

    I like variety, and have a bunch of different guns for different purposes. However, a post by P99 got me thinking. Apparently, he has 6 Walther P99's. I've also seen people who have like 4 P7's, and every Glock in the book. Now I can see having 2 of the same gun if you like carrying with one of...

    Glock 27 in Ankle Holster

    I'm considering a Glock 27. I have plenty of other guns (including a Glock 23), but am looking for a good, powerful semi-auto gun that I can carry in an ankle holster. I have the Galco Ankle Glove, which I love, for some other guns, and I know it is available for the 26/27. My question is...

    Traded my titanium for scandium. Good deal?

    I traded my slightly used S&W model 342ti (the totally enclosed hammer, .38 +P, silver colored, titanium j-frame) for the same gun in Scandium (exact same thing, NIB, but shoots .357). I paid $200 bucks out the door for the trade, plus $5 for the background check. I think I did alright. Did I?

    Trade Titanium for Scandium???

    I've got a S&W Titanium 342ti. Excellent shape. Maybe 100 rounds throught it. I'm considering trading for a NIB S&W Scandium of the same type (the 340, I think). I spoke to a guy at the gun show who will take my gun and 200 bucks. I offered him my gun and 175, but he turned it down...

    Just had to post this

    Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you gotta love this. This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a portion...

    Case Cleaner Question

    My new Dillon CV-500 is pretty loud. Also, it seems to move sideways when I turn it on (tile floor). Is this normal? What can I do (if anything) to quiet it down and/or get it to stop moving?

    Bought Tumbler and Separator. What do I do?

    So I bought the Dillon CV-500 and CM-500 (that's the small cartridge case cleaner and case/media separator). I also picked up a box full of Lyman corn cob media. I've got a bunch of dirty brass sitting in boxes in my closet. Now what? I assume that I mix some media and cases (how much?) in the...

    Para-Ordnance Question

    I have a P13.45 which I was shooting this weekend, and noticed that the rear sight had come slightly loose in the dovetail (I could move it about an eighth of an inch). My questions is: should I contact Para-Ord to send it back to them to fix, should I just have it fixed myself, or should I use...

    Best .308 Battle Rifle

    What is the Best .308 Battle Rifle? Something with 20 or more round clips, semi-auto, accurate, not too heavy, and reliable. I've been thinking of adding one to my arsenal. I'm considering the Armalite AR-10, a FN-FAL, and various HK-types. Am I missing any? Which is the best and why?

    More people buying guns???

    I was in a gunshop yesterday (Miami, FL), and asked curiously if they had been substantially busier in the wake of all of the horrible incidents in NY, DC and PA. They said they had been selling a lot more handguns than usual (though not many more long guns or assault weapons). Has this been...

    Techniques for Separating Brass

    How do you do it? I've been getting brass from the range, pulling out 1-5 at a time and tossing the good ones into the appropriate boxes. I've also considered laying them out and picking out one caliber at a time. Are there any other methods? Which is best? Are there any devices which help?
