I made this post in the competition shooting forum but no responses, figuered I'd post in the higher traffic of semi-auto forum, Mods, feel free to delete the other one please. Well I'm going to be 23 and I have basically given up rifle shooting for my new found love pistol shooting. I was...

Well I'm going to be 23 and I have basically given up rifle shooting for my new found love pistol shooting. I was recently invited to go to a local IPSC match that is coming up. I don't know too much about it, and obviously never have been. I've been reading up and found you can go with a...

Well I don't know how many of you are familiar with the rather small chain of sporting goods store called Gander Mountain but I went there yesterday because I had a $100 gift card I needed to use that was a gift. They usually over price everything so I don't go there much. Anyways I ended up...

I was thinking about buying a cheap .22 auto for the sole purpose of fun, plinking, extending range time, and practicing double taps. My SW model 17 isn't really great for practicing double taps. I know Ruger's and Brownings are usually the Favorite, I don't want other suggestions, just...

Hey guys, I have some cash laying around plus still need to pick out an Xmas gift for myself and I was looking at getting a CZ-75 B in either all stainless or the two tone. This will be my first CZ and I am really excited. Now I already have other 9mm's for carry guns the CZ will strictly be a...

I was looking into getting a .22 semi auto after just purchasing an old S&W model 17 k-22 revolver a few months back. I bought the revolver because 1) I didn't yet own a .22 pistol 2) Got a great deal on it 3) I cant hunt with a semi auto in PA 4) I forgot how much fun the .22 really is, no...

I recently found one in a local shop I got to check out in person. I didn't get a chance to shoot it because the g/f was anxious to leave and I promised I was just picking up a holster I ordered:(. It got me interested though and I hear these things praised everywhere and how awesome they shoot...

First one is a Model 17 K-22 serial number K 153XXX. Second one is a Model 60 J-frame serial number ADR5XXX. Sorry I'm not big into revolvers so I don't own the book. Thanks for the help.:)

I have some cash accumulating towards a next purchase and kind of always wanted a gun from the WWII era. I started looking at K98 Mausers on gunbroker.com for around $350 that say they have Nazi markings. Now I don't condone what Hitler and his army did but personally I would like to have the...

I was at a local shop down by my college that I sometimes go into to check out some guns my local guy might not have in stock. This shop is a big dealer in a yuppie area so prices are sky high normally so I only go into check out/hold guns I might be interested in than go order them from my...

I sold some items and acquiring another amount of cash I get to spend on a new firearm (yay!:)) but am unsure as to what to get. I was looking for something just plain fun and a .22lr comes to mind since that's about the only ammo that's cheap nowadays. I just bought an old S&W m17 k-22 but that...

I love the look and feel of revolvers but never bought any. My father had a stainless steel model 60 and handed it down to me, its a great gun. I felt the revolver itch building in me after just buying two polymer semi-auto defensive handguns and decided to look. My local shop owner had an old...

I own a lot more hunting rifles and shotguns than I do pistols in general, and out of that the only Revolver I own is a SW m60 snub nose. I also loved the way the old Colts looked but being a college student I can't afford one. I stumbled onto this on Buds and was interested in how they were...

I was sitting here wondering what a good way to train defensive pistol tactics like reloading on the move, getting to cover while drawing, ect. Then it came to me.... AIRSOFT I used to play a lot of airsoft and paintball Mil-Sim style matches with friends back in the day but mostly had assault...

I am not to experienced with revolvers. I have shot a few, and own a S&W Model 60 5 shot J-frame in .38spl. I was considering buying a Ruger Single Six .22lr for a plinker since it was the first handgun I ever shot in my life. Then the S&W 617 caught my eye. It's pretty much the newer version of...

I don't speak German so don't ask me whats being said, but heres a cool video for all you H&K fans out there. Specifically the torture test of the p2000 is amazing, also the man tests it using his own hands instead of a gun vise... guess that says a lot about how much they trust their...

I bought a Kahr PM9 recently and put about 100 rounds through it with no problems so I am happy after hearing mixed feelings about it. This Friday I will be returning to the local range to finish the break in and practice some more with it. I just wanted to ask you fellow PM9 (or similar sized...

Doing some light reading today, thought I'd share. All of these are confirmed TRUE by Darwin Awards.(Scary) 7 March 2002, Colorado) When Gerald was pulled over by police for erratic driving, he decided it was better to flee from the stolen car on foot, rather than face possible jail time for a...

I turned 21 about 9 months ago and bought my first handgun, a full size H&K USP 9mm, I was always an H&K fan and I don't care what anyone says the USP is beautiful to me. Anyways I have the interview for my PA CCW permit coming up soon and purchased a brand new Kahr PM9. I was nervous after...
