    Sell to local gunshop?

    Hey guys and gals. I got a bit of an unwelcome surprise today when I headed to the local gunshop to see what I could get in trade for a Bersa Thunder UC .45 with the gold parts. The gunsmith took a peek at it, said it's about 98% and that he loved how smooth the slide was and promptly offered me...

    New reloader

    Hey guys/gals. I need some information on what I'll need for reloading a range of shells for bolt action rifles and auto handguns. I've been running the search function quite a bit, but I've got a few questions about reloading components. I picked up a Lyman turret press for starters. I've got...

    Teach me something!

    I'm curious about a couple of things. I grew up hunting in Wisconsin with a .44 Ruger carbine, which worked out great for me since all of my shots were under 150 yards due to brush, trees, valleys ... that sort of thing, and most of them were within 50. My father used a 30.06, others .30-30s...

    .380 acp ammunition prices

    I just made a trip to Wally world for a frozen pizza and took a look at ammunition prices in passing. This is what I found for my handguns: .380 acp - 100 rd WWB $26 9mm luger - 100 rd WWB $12 .45 acp - 50 rd CCI Blazer $10 (or $20/100) My question is ... why in the world is .380 more...

    Curious ... how much ammo?

    I'm sure that this has been asked in the past, but how much ammo do you regularly keep on hand? If it's a large amount ... is it due to SHTF scenarios, the expected increase in prices, or simple convenience? In addition, do you also have reloading materials? When replying, please differentiate...

    Range report - Bersa/Glock/unidentified .44 magnum

    Headed to the range today with a couple hundred rounds. Needed to test a used mag in the Bersa .380, finish breaking in the Glock 26, and test the Bersa .45 that I just got back from the gunsmith after a 3+ month wait for a new disconnector. First, the Bersa .380 is a great little gun. It was...

    Benelli Supernova pump

    I purchased a Benelli 12G Supernova pump (26" barrel) with the comfortech stock this past December, but hadn't had a chance to test her until today. Wow. This is my new favorite gun, hands down. The slide was silky, the weight was perfect, she points like a dream, and recoil was negligible. I...

    Tikka T3 .270 ... she kicks!

    I bought a Tikka T3 .270 a couple years back, but had never really found the chance to take her out. I fired a box of 150 grain with my brother last year, but hadn't even gotten her sighted in yet. I went out today with a few buddies to the range to rectify that mistake using 130 grain Remington...
