    .25 or a good knife?

    Another thread on this forum got me to thinking about a question I've had for a while... An old man who lived through the West Virginia Blair Mountain (Coal Miners) War laughed when he saw my .25 Beretta. I told him, "It fits in my pocket, and it's better than a knife." But is it? Would it be...

    Safe carry for Walther P99 AS

    I have a new Walther P99 AS. Is too dangerous to carry this pistol without de-cocking it? I.E., is the trigger pull too light for safe carry without switching it over to double action?

    Buy a Steyr M-A1?

    A local dealer has a NIB Steyr M-A1 in .40 for $439.00. Should put it on lay-away?

    Dan Wesson, Palmer experts needed

    I saw a nice 6" stainless Dan Wesson, made in Palmer, at a local shop. I have a Monson 715. The barrel nut slots are obvious on the front of the barrel - you insert the DW tool in the front of the barrel, put the tool into the slots, unscrew the barrel nut, and take the barrel out of the shroud...

    Gun addiction support group

    I've just recently got back into guns. So far, I've bought a Walther P99 & PPS, a Bersa Thunder .40, a S&W Sigma .40, holsters and spare mags for everything, gun DVDs, and a lot of .40 S&W ammo. It's been so expensive, the old lady is threatening to leave me. I need to stop buying guns. Is...

    Range report: Walther PPS

    I have nothing but praise for my Bersa .380 as a CCW, but I feel more comfortable with at least a 9 mm. I recently purchased a new Walther PPS in 9 mm from a local gun shop. PPS allegedly means Police Pistol Slim. Only 1” thick and 6’ long the PPS certainly is small, roughly the same size as...

    Sigma vs. M&P vs. Glock

    I recently bought a SW40GVE (Sigma) 'cause it was cheap:p; under $300 for NIB gun, case and 4 mags (two extra mags come with mail-in rebate). Anyone out there own a new Sigma S&W and a Glock, or a Sigma and a Smith M&P? I am curious as to how the new Sigma compares to a Glock or the M&P...

    Kahr CW9

    I'm thinking about getting a Kahr CW9. Anyone have personal experience with this pistol? I want a small 9mm or .40 for CC. A local dealer has a CW9 for $450. Used, one mag, no box. Seems high.

    Poly pistols all the same?

    I recently got back into handguns, and was fascinated by the Glock phenomenon. I was going to get one just to see what the fuss was about. :confused: Instead, I bought a new S&W .40 cal. Sigma (SW40GVE) from a local dealer. Including tax, it cost $348. Lifetime warranty. Came with two 14-round...

    Why so many mags?

    Another thread asks how many mags you have. I see folks with as many as 10 mags per gun. Question: Why so many mags? I've got two 13 round mags for my Bersa .40. Why do I need more than 26 rounds available for one gun?

    Dan Wesson value

    Have any of you recently bought a Dan Wesson, and how much did you pay? I was keeping my Momson stainless Dan Wesson .357 in my car, but I've noticed those things are now going for $600 - $850. :eek: Hell, I'm more likely to have something stolen out of my vehicle than to have to defend...
