I just picked up a 99% 4 screw M17, serial number 3910xx. It has a 6 inch barrel and is the nicest older S&W I have ever seen. It looks like it has seen next to no use. I paid 345 for it. Did I do good? Can anyone tell me when it was made? It is pinned and recessed, and has a frame mounted...

I have one of those 3" full lug adj site model 60s. It has this completely stupid target trigger that kills my finger when I try to rapid fire. Can anyone tell me how much it would cost to have the trigger replaced with a standard one? Would it be best to send it to the factory? thanks

I've found an excellent condition UL Ti Taurus on consignment in a local shop for 249. Is this a good price? How durable are these guns compared to a first production run model 36 smith? Will the gun shoot loose fast? On a similar note, what kind of trade value should I ask for a 98% early...

I just picked up a used 8 3/8" M27-2 (pinned + recessed) in excellent condition. It has a hogue monogrip on it and did not come with the box. There is the beginning of a drag line on the cylinder, but no other bluing wear except the slightest amount (barely noticeable) at the muzzle. It is...

I need to get window blinds for my new house. I'm thinking about going with the nice wooden horizontal blinds, something about two inches wide. Any recommendations as to who would have the best prices? I live in Austin Texas, so are there any environmental concerns (bright sun, etc.)? Also, do...

I'm closing on my new house soon, and I need to get a security system. I had it pre-wired for a system, with sensors on all of the doors and windows. Any suggestions regarding which company to use? What can I do about people breaking window glass to get in? Thanks

I was at the range yesterday shooting my guns on the plinking range. An older man showed up with two or three young children. He set up some targets not more than eight feet in front of the bench resting against one of the small berms, then handed a fully loaded Colt SAA replica to a kid that...

Is my 686-3 2.5" strong enough for regular shooting of full power 357 loads? Thanks

I just picked up a like-new 686 with a 2.5" barrel and the really nice finger-grooved factory hardwood grips for 295. Was this a reasonable price? I checked the gun over very carefully before I bought it, but I just noticed that there is some part rattling internally when I shake it. I'm...

I've found an ortgies in about 60-70% condition for 139. Is this a reasonable price? Are these guns any good? How do they compare to others such as the colt .32 and walther pp? Thanks

Does it have hard chrome or what? Does it scratch easy, etc? Thanks

I like my new CZ75B so much I'm thinking of trading my 1991A1 for a second one with the decocker, possibly with the nickel/chrome finish. The 1991A1 has some bluing wear on the slide, and is the base model. I added pachmayrs. I've put maybe 500 rounds through it. What kind of trade value...

CDNN has promag hicaps for 15, mecgar for 40, and factory for 50. I think CZ sells hicaps for 40 or 50. Are the promags good? Thanks

I traded a NS522 like new for a new cz75B military model, with only a 10 round magazine. I had to supply 102 cash, including tax. Was this a good deal? The NS522 was beautiful, but I had two of them. I think the dealer thought he was ripping me off, but I feel pretty good about it. Thanks Thanks

Does anyone have any experience with these? I handled a 16" stainless one at the local shop and fell in love. Are they durable, accurate, etc? It looked like it was all steel and wood. Are there any pot-metal or plastic parts hiding in the internals? Do they tend to loosen up with time from...
