A friend has a very well taken care of 9mm blue Smith & Wesson 3904 he's interested in selling. He's got the original box, the paperwork, and a single 14 round hi-cap to go with it. He claims he hasn't shot more than 4 or 5 boxes of ammo through it since he bought it new--and it looks it...

To date I have resisted 'the dark side of the force'. I own Sigs, Walthers, HK, CZ, Colt, Springfields, Rugers, etc. I have at least one of every major manufacturer's pistols except Glock and Smith & Wesson. I have .45's, .40's (I really don't care much for the caliber and I either own or...

Work out your own scenario--whether it's the bullseye to win the tournament, the bad guy in your house with your daughter as a hostage, Saddam Hussein in your sights, etc.--which is the semi-auto that you want in your hand for that single shot? That one shot with no margin for error and no...

I had the pleasure of spending a snowy Friday afternoon inside at my local range. I took my brand spanking new SIG P225 and my Beretta Cougar 8045 for a little comparison shooting. The Cougar and the Sig are both comparably sized pistols. Length and heighth are so close that you cannot...

If I'm going to buy a .357 Sig caliber weapon, I'm going to buy a Sig pistol. Is the Sig 226, 229, or the SigPro the better platform? Or did I miss one? I've got three nice compacts-- HK USP40c, 9mm Walther P99, and a Beretta Cougar .45-- and a Walther PPK for light concealment, so size isn't...

I own twenty-plus guns and don't have a forty cal in the bunch. I used to own a Ruger P series in .40s&w, but life is too short to spend it with an ugly gun. I've got the fever, and I'm certain it's going to be either the Glock or the HK. The Glock comes with one 15 round mag and a 10 round...

For the last 18 years, my family has gone out on Thanksgiving morning and shot clay pigeons from dawn til noon. During that time I've owned or shot Remingtons, Winchesters, Savages, Brownings, and the odd brand here and there. I bought a Baikal IZH27 earlier this year and finally got to try it...

There are now so many different forums on this site that you have to open up a half dozen different forums just to look for interesting information. This site was a 1000 times better when all I had to worry about was looking down a single list and seeing if there was anything interesting. I...

Just handled and want to purchase a new in box FEG SMC-22. The gun has very similar dimensions to my Walther PPK in .380 and I kind've thought the FEG .22 might be a fun plinker. Anybody have any experience with them? Do they loosen up and wear out fast or do they hold up to a couple thousand...

I came across a used Remington 1100 in my favorite gunshop over the weekend. The wood was nice, the checkering was up to Remington standards, it's a 20 gauge. And it's only got a 21" barrel on it. It's got a screw in Rem Choke down in it and looks to be in great condition. I hoisted the gun...

Just bought a Win 94 in .44 magnum. I've already got a Marlin 1894CS in .357 but wanted to add the big 44 because I'm a sucker for a good looking lever gun. Now I've got to get me a .44 magnum revolver and I'm gonna make it a single action. I have had great luck with Ruger in other weapons...

I've got a .22 bolt action, .22 semi-auto, .22magnum lever action, .357 magnum lever action, .44 magnum lever action, and a 30-06 bolt action. Now I want something in either .220 swift, .223, .222, .22-250, etc. I'm never gonna hunt anything that the 30-06 won't take care of. I want a fun...

Just picked up a Winchester 94AE in .44 magnum. I already had a Marlin 1894CS in .357 magnum. I just can't get enough of those lever actions. The Marlin, however, hasn't shown that it likes shooting FMJ .38 specials. It jammed on me twice. After the first time I took it to a reputable smith...

I just got back from picking up another 17 round factory hi-cap for my Astra A-100 9mm pistol. Admittedly, the Astra is only a Sig wannabe and not in the same class as the big factory offerings, however, my Astra is a good shooter and is in exceptionally good condition. How important are...

I'm overrun with a rabbit population. My wife's screaming about them eating her flowers and I live in the city--no dog, no guns. I'm thinking a discreet, 400fps .177 pistol ought to do the job pretty quickly. If I'm gonna spend the money ($200 or so) what's the best one to buy to get...

I'm thinking of picking up a bull barrel, stainless, 5 1/2" Ruger Mark 2 and went through the instruction manual. Did my eyes deceive me or is there no fewer than ELEVEN steps required for re-assembly? And it was accompanied by warnings that improper placement of the firing pin stop can...

I've been looking at a 12 gauge Sabatti Falcon over and under shotgun at my local shop. It appears to be a pretty nice weapon--the checkering is precise and the wood grain attractive. The receiver is either stainless or nickle with engraving to it. The controls are simple, although the safety...

Trying to make my mind up on a new varmint gun. What's the best value in a synthetic body, stainless barrel, all weather type rifle? I'm not talking about a $750 gun here, just a 'good gun for the money' product. I'd really like to buy something in a 22 centerfire--.223, 22-250, 22 hornet...

I love those lever actions. I've got a chance to pick up a pretty nice Marlin 336 Cowboy in 30/30 for $240. Excellent checkering, blueing's perfect. I'd been thinking about a Browning BLR in 22-250, but it's several hundred more bucks. I just want another lever action for my collection...
