    Deal of the century?!?!

    I visited my favorite gun shop here in Pa today and there in the case was a used/new Sig 226 with two factory high capacity mags for $599! The gunshop owner explained to me that it was bought from the estate of a gentleman that had passed away last summer along with $250,000 worth of other guns...

    CZ75 Factory mag question

    Do the 10 round 9mm factory magazines have that silly hollowed out baseplate that you can stick your finger up inside or do they have a plain flat baseplate? I had a Sig with the hollow baseplate and it always seemed to bite the palm of my hand! Thanks, Mike

    SIG 220 vs KIMBER COMPACT

    I already own a SIG 220 and am thinking about an alloy framed Kimber. First of all, is the Kimber as accurate as the SIG? And I've heard that alot of people think that the alloy framed 1911's kick like a mule! Is this true? The SIG also has an alloy frame and I think the recoil is quite mild...

    Usp Durability?

    How durable is the H&K USP? In examining one, I noticed that the frame rails do not look as sturdy as other polymer pistols. Is this really an issue if considering one? Has anyone ever had a problem with their USP? Need input before I put out! Thanks, Mike

    Beretta 92 INOX I'm sold!!

    Just got back from the range with my new Beretta 92 INOX. It is just a fantastic pistol! Fired 150 rds of S&B and 25 rds Gold Dot with no problems. And this is without even giving it the usual initial cleaning! Just a couple of drops of Breakfree. Accuracy is on par with my Walther P99 and the...

    Smith&Wesson firing pin?

    Just bought a used S&W model 65. Brought it home and cleaned it and noticed that the firing pin kind of flops around on the hammer. No spring in the hammer or it is broken. Is this a problem? Mike

    Are older Taurus guns that bad?!?!

    I've searched alot of older posts regarding Taurus revolvers and the general opinion seems to be that the new Taurus guns are "OK" and the older ones are just plain old junk! Anyone here own an older Taurus that can verify that?

    Need advice on Taurus

    Looking at a used (very little) Taurus model 83 in .38 cal. Very good price. It has something that I have never seen before. The cylinder is "fluted". Is this an older version of this gun? Are these as high quality as the new Taurus guns? Mike

    Calling all 1911 experts!!!!

    I just received my second Colt/Sistema pistol from CDNN. The first one works beautifully. The second one I have not shot yet, but I noticed something unusual right away. When I lock the slide to the rear, depress the slide release to return the slide forward and pull the trigger, sometimes the...

    9 pellet vs 12 pellet recoil

    Do the 12ga. 12 pellet loads ALWAYS have more recoil than 9 pellet loads? As far as 12 pellet loads go, I've only tried the Remington OO buck Magnum and it DID have a noticeable difference in recoil and report! I am looking at purchasing a case of Federal O buck 12 pellet ammo online and I'm...

    New 590A1!!

    Just picked up my new Mossberg 590A1. What a beauty! This is one SOLID piece of steel! Action does seem to be very smooth as does the trigger. I ordered mine with the ghost ring sights. Been using military sights for over twenty years now, so that is what I am the most familiar with. For all of...
