    Price check on a SW 4506?

    A fellow that lives a bit north of me has a 4506 for sale in pretty decent condition. It is an older one with the square trigger guard. I was wondering what the going rate for these are? It has 5 mags with it. Some holster wear. Also, if anyone has any experience with this model, now's the...

    Bersa Thunder 9 Nickle- Opinions?

    I handled a Bersa thunder 9mm the other day and I was pretty impressed. Fit my hand great, I liked the position of the safety and the sites pointed dead on for me. They only wanted 330, and it came with 2 17 round mags as well. Very attractive gun IMO with the nickle finish. Though...I have no...

    Another Either Or (Sorry) GI or Mil-Spec 1911?

    Alrighty guys, narrowing the field down...both STAINLESS springfield armory 1911s. I can get a Mil Spec for 670 with tax, but I have to order it off the internet and have it shipped. I've never done this before so it is anxiety producing. I know lots of you do it all the time so it is probably...

    Question about modding a 1911 hammer..

    I really hope to own a stainless 1911 in the future...that fits my budget...I was thinking, if a mil spec ended up giving me hammer bite (I started a thread about it, and it seems about 50/50. Some get it, some don't), would it affect proper function of the gun to kind of bob the hammer a bit...

    Do the Springer Mil Specs slide/hammer bite?

    Still on the fence between a springer mil spec (~666) dollars and a springer loaded (~725) dollars, new and used respectively. Do these prices seem fair for stainless models? I had a 1911 GI type model from Argentina, one of those Argentina colts, and it would bite me pretty bad in the web of...

    Decent 357 Single Actions?

    What is my best bet for an inexpensive but quality 357 (largely for 38 target/wadcutter ammo)? Gander had some Uberti type for about 350..

    Recommend me a shotgun?

    Hi all, Well I'm not new here. I have a lot of training and experience with rifles and handguns, but I am pretty much a newbie when it comes to shotguns. Shot some trap with my grandpa as a boy, shot for fun with my former mother in laws boyfriend some slugs and buckshot out in the country, etc...

    Bought a new Revolver today! :) Ruger Security Six

    I picked up a stainless ruger security six today for 399 plus tax. Now I'm just waiting down the 3 days it'll take me to cool off ;). How'd I do? It is in great shape. Barrel length, honestly I couldn't determine off hand, I would say longer than 4 and shorter than six...so, did they come in...

    Looking for something in particular..

    It is a future project, as for now I don't shoot much anymore and had to sell off my stuff. I would like to get a bright, stainless single action revolver with white or pearl grips. I might be tradional and go for a .45 colt chambering. Longer or average barrel length I suppose. It's weird...

    Am I paying too much for Shipping?

    I shipped my Ruger SP101 to a member here from Midwest Firearms in East Peoria, and all together I paid 57.00 dollars to have it shipped to Texas. Is that right? It seemed like a lot of money just to ship..they charge a fee and for shipping

    How did those 1911s of World World Two do it?

    So, I was watching Hellboy the other day, and it made me think. In the begining of that movie, US army soldiers are off the cost of Scotland, and it is literally pouring rain and they're crawling through the muck and such. How did these blued steel 1911 guns of yesterday hold up to these rigors...

    Taurus 608

    I'd like feedback from current or previous owners. How does this thing rate and hold up? I am possibly considering trading a SP101 for one of these. Advice?

    I made a GINORMOUS mistake! Miss my Sig P226 9mm! :(

    So I sold my Sig P226 a few months back, against the advice of this very forum, and you guys were right...I ended up regretting it! Now I'm looking high and low for a 226 in 9mm, but one like I had..an older West German model, with the older style grips, and in decent shape. But where I used...

    Better Camping Gun?

    Well its getting warmer, time to spend some time under the stars and as far out past the raggedy edge as possible! My selection is a little limited, had to sell off a ton and I'm still behind over here. Sigh. Anyway, would you pack a ruger SP101 or Glock 26 in your bag? I have to point out...

    A new Walther PPK

    I'm thinking about one in stainless. I would need to handle it first to see if it is going to slide bite the web of my hand. I had a Sistema 1911 that did that pretty gnarly.Anyway, what is the deal with the current walthers? Are they made well? About how many rounds can you put through a...

    Where can I find a SW 5906?

    There used to be an online gun store out of Missouri. I lost the URL. Very specifically, I am looking for a model 5906 with SQUARED not rounded trigger guard. I've only ever been able to come across one, and that was at Gander Mountain. They wanted $425 dollars! :eek: This was two years ago! I...
