I bought a Colt Series 70, the start of the seriel number is "70b", I did a check, and it was made in 79', if I recall. So, it is an older gun. Are the parts MIM like most modern production guns? Just curious. I know a lot of people have no problems with MIM.

As the title suggests, I feel a powerful lust for a stainless high power, in 9mm. I've done some looking, but I can't seem to find any in stainless. Does anyone know any sources?

I'm currently an IL resident, but my fiancee and I are planning on spending the summer with some relatives. I remember awhile back reading a site where IL residents were issued PA carry permits through the mail, and were then able to carry in other states with PA reciprocity. I've checked out...

Does Springfield make a good 1911 magazine? I need some more magazines for my Colt and in my little town the shop only sells Springfields (they only sell mags for handguns they also sell). Thanks in advance for input/experiences! I know mags are vital in 1911s shooting reliably.

I am the owner of a Taurus 85 non plus p snubby, and so my choices are somewhat limited. I don't have any real way to test these loads myself so I am opening the question to a wider audience. For a defense load, should I load up with 125 grain jhps, or the heavier 158 grain jhp? Right now, I am...

I just can't seem to identify the gun he uses for 3/4ths the movie! Is it some kind of HK?? Far too slim for a glock...definately not a sig... Sorry for the repost! wrong forum

Alright, I've managed to somehow amass a respectable (in my view) collection of firearms in the two years since I've been twenty one. I've learned a lot about what I like, and consequently, what I don't like. I like Smith and Wesson revolvers, the older...the better. I like blued steel with wood...

Hi, I'm just wondering what a fair price would be for some used SIG P 225s. A few gun stores have them around here. There is one that is asking 399 plus tax, and the slide is showing considerable wear...it would probably need re-blued...

I really like this model, I like the pre-rounded trigger guards, etc. I have always figured they would be pretty cheap with all the trade ins and such, but around my area I see them around 425, and one guy would "make me a deal" for 400... Anyone know of an online source for *gently* used...

I keep hearing conflicting things, and I've looked into it myself but I still can't quite get things straight. I am a law abiding citizen in a state were the right to defense myself and my loved ones is extremely infringed. In my home, behind locked doors, suddenly my rights are restored...

Hey all, I got a little taurus model 85 a year or two back. It's a good, solid little pistol. I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find some alternate grips for it. It came wearing the standard taurus interpretation of a hogue grip, and I much prefer wood grips of some kind. In local stores...

Well, I just spent twenty dollars under five hundred big ones for this pistol that has been getting such rave reviews all over the place. Imagine my incredible anger in the fact that I believe this brand new pistol has problems. Now, I haven't shot it yet as I just picked it up today at two...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows the laws in IL regarding minors and handguns. I know that the law states you have to be 21 to buy a handgun, but do you have to be 21 to possess a handgun? I guess he wouldn't be able to buy any ammo for it, but...eh. A have a cousin I would like to give a...

Any guesses? I suppose you could say I am doing a bit of a torture test. We're going on several months now of not cleaning it. I have some new 17 round mags for it that I'll be getting for christmas, and I plan to burn through quite a lot of 9mm over my christmas break (in college- hence I...

I've had this gun for a couple years now... I am trying to like it. It's my only 9mm. I'm going to purchase some of the mag extenders so it can accept hi cap Beretta 92 mags, instead of the twin neutered 10 rounders she came with. Anyone else have this weapon? For its size, it really is...

I've heard good and bad things...stumbled onto one for under 330 bills. What do you guys thinks?

Hey all, been awhile eh? Well. Boredom prompted me to look through the Brady bunch's site. Boredom, and trying to find the state with the lowest grade they can give. Vermont is very impressive. It appears to be one of the last states to still have true 100 Proof Patriot blood flowing through its...

Hi everyone. My mom informed me of this today, and I couldn't believe it. Under this AER legislation, vitamens, herbal supplements, etc would be banned. They would have to be prescribed by a doctor. I couldn't believe this! In my view, another gross infringement and overstep by the government...

I've just gotta say, I can't sing the praises of this gun enough. It's an old gun, pre lock, with just amazing bluing and original wooden grips. The SW shield is mostly worn, but man...this gun is just amazing! 4'' barrel. Balances so perfect...38's have NO recoil, 357's aren't bad at all...
