Ever go through these discussions and wonder why we read so many extremely good reports, and extremely bad reports, on the same gun? Do you think people just don't give themselves a chance to "learn" a gun, develop skills, practise. Or, is the quality contol in some manufacturing plants just...

I love the reliablity of a revolver. I've been looking at smaller, more concealable guns lately and feel like there is alot missing in the revolver choices. In semi-auto you can choose anything from .22 to 25 to 32 to 380 to 9x18 to 9mm. And with milsurp, lots of those choices are under...

I've always heard mixed reviews about Llamas, mostly about the .45's. What do you guys think about the smaller caliber guns? I was looking at a .32 or a .380. Any problems, or negatives I should look out for? Do they make a .22? Thanks.

I bought three guns on internet auctions in the last nine months. I did everything I was supposed to as fast as I could. In the first two auctions I noticed that the seller didn't leave feedback for me until after I had left feedback on him, sometimes a week after he had my money. This last...

I see the Zanders catalog has these listed now. Has anyone got one of these Russian single shot rifles? What do you think of it? I've been thinking of getting one in .223, I like the fact that it has sights. Inquiring minds want to know---! Thanks.

I've seen these around but never talked to anyone who's shot one so, I bought one and shot it today. I could only get Brown Bear FMJ ammo for it. It did very nicely for accuracy. I was shooting standing, with a two handed hold. At 12 yards I could put shots right next to each other. It was a...

My local shop has gotten some good deals on ammo lately. What is the quality, or performance, difference between the two Russian "Bear" ammo brands? What I'm mostly looking at is Brown Bear 9x18 for just $4.99 a box. Anything I need to look out for before I shoot this stuff? Thanks.

I bought a 1911 at a gun show recently. It is an IAI (Israeli Arms), made in the Phillipines. The barrel is a stainless barrel, with a separate serial number preceded by N.M. Is this a National Match barrel? What would that be worth? By the way, It is not ported, and it sticks about a...

I've seen lots of dumb stuff at gun shows lately. I thought Beanie Babies, and hardware items were bad. At the Springfield, Mo. show over the weekend I think I saw the worse. A table was selling gag gifts, including a remote control fart machine. Just the thing to hide under a shooting bench...

I couldn't find much on these two guns I picked up at the show today. Anyone have any opinions about them? One is an Autugua .32, new in box, for $225 The other is a IAI 5000 in 45acp. Imitation ivory grips, stainless barrel, like new, for $300. Thanks.

I have a very difficult situation on my hands. I just got my tax refund and there is a gun show tomorrow. If any of you are in the area, go to the show. If you see a guy in a Westley Richards ballcap buying everything in sight, slap him good, remind him he needs to get some things fixed...

I've been reading threads here, and on other forums, about self defense guns and what is the least caliber you should carry. Whenever I read these, I think about all the old police guns I've seen for sale in shops, and on auctions. There was a time that it wasn't unusual for a cop to carry a...

For all you fans, Tales of the Gun is on this morning. Get off the computer and watch some T.V.

I found a box of these recently. I remember they were selling lots of it about a year or two ago, but it has since disappeared. Is this stuff any good? Is it good for target, defense, or plinking? Any bad things about it? Thanks.

I have a pre-war Official Police, made in 1930. I was looking at grips for it and saw the gun listed as both an I frame, and a J frame. Anyone know what it really is?

I've got a pre-war Colt Official Police,38spl. It was a state trooper sidearm. Can you tell mewhen it was made? The serial number is 56173x. There is a light D under the serial number on the frame, and there looks like ther is a T in front of the number that is high and to the left. These...

I was in a gunshop today and found a Detonics .45 in their case. It was a small, single action stainless gun. It was in very nice shape. Tell me about them. I'm not at all familiar with them. It had a 4 digit serial number, and was made in Washington (I think). Are they reliable, accurate...

I saw a price book at my local dealers(he leaves these things laying around) and saw an H&R Ultra rifle, the single shot, listed in 500 S&W. It has the standard 22 inch barrel, and is listed at the same price as the other rifles. That seems like alot of bullet for those single shots. I know...

I just saw a press release at my local FFL from Winchester that they will be discontinuing the 9422 lever action rifles. It says that they will have some special editions out right now, but then shut down the line. It's a shame. The Marlin 39 is the only other gun in it's class. Watch for...

The Outdoor Channel has a new show on called "Cowboys". It was on last night(Thursday), around 6, and featured guys at a western shooting competition, and a host at the Ruger factory, walking through all the steps in making a new Vaquero. Looks like it might be interesting. By the way, I have...
