    Wiley Clapp GPs worth the extra $???

    I have my heart set on a GP 100. I was going to get the basic blued 4 inch model, but I really like the look of the Wiley Clap(WC) GP much better. The only reason I have not bought a WC GP is because of the price and shorter barrel. From my understanding, the WC is a little bit finer tuned...

    Why are GPs so pricey?

    I know all gun related items are in demand and are higher in price then they were several months ago. However, of all the guns I have seen Ruger GPs have gone trough the roof. Just a few months ago you could have gotten a new GP for right at $600 out the door, now they are going for $750 and up...

    Rust on 870

    I noticed the other day when cleaning my 870 express that there were a few small rust spots starting to form on the barrel. I have read this is a common thing on express 870s. So what is the best way to get rid of this rust and keep it off?

    Over $900 for a GP100NIB???????

    I know guns have gone up, and things are a little crazy, but a stock SS GP100 4inch going for over $900 and still 4 days left? What is going on? I mean, only a few months ago I could have gotten the same gun for under $600 OTD. Do you think this will be the new going rate or do you think, after...

    Scratches in GP barrel.

    I just bought a GP at a gun show for $365, and it passed the revolver checkout; at least I thought. When I was at the gun show I looked down the barrel and it was super clean; however, when I got it home I noticed it has scratches inside the tip of the barrel that are hard to see unless you hold...

    Auto Ordnance 1911a1s?

    I have been looking for a good reliable 1911a1 pistol that is under $600 or so. I have read nothing but good things about the RIA 1911s; however, I have just learned about Auto Ordnance, and it seems to be the same gun but made in the USA. Is this right, are Auto Ordnance 1911s made in the...

    When will Ruger have new finishes for the SR1911?

    I want a Ruger SR1911 badly, but I have never been a fan of SS on a 1911. SO, when will Ruger have new finishes on their SRs? I want a blue or parkerized one.

    Time to buy? (AR, AK,etc. and hi cap mags)

    I will try and keep this post simple and clean. Is now the best time to buy AR, AK, etc. type rifles and other guns(rifles, handguns, etc.) that take high capacity magazines? After recent events, many people foresee some form of law coming into place that may restrict new purchases of...

    Handguns, a more personal gun than long guns?

    Though I adore all my guns, I find myself more attached to my handguns as opposed to my long guns. I tend to see my long guns as tools, while I see my handguns as entertainment; though, they are still tools. My handguns feel much more natural and personal to me than any of my rifles or...

    How much would you pay for a S&W 19?

    Would $500 or so for a S&W 19-4 P&R 4inch nickle be an OK deal? It has a real tight lock up, and it looks in good condition and all original; no box or papers. It is on consignment.

    How much would you pay for this S&W 586?

    I have been looking for this gun for a while, and I always see them for to much money, or they are 6in. I am not looking for a great deal, because I do not mind paying for what I want. However, I do not want to be ripped off. It is a 586 no dash, but it does have the M stamped on it. It is...

    Ruger GP100 question.

    I have been thinking of getting a GP100 for some time. However, I have a question about the single action on the gun. On almost ever GP100 I have tried, except for a Wiley Clapp GP100, there seems to be a little hiccup right before the gun is fully in SA. I do not know how to describe exactly...

    Is $612 to much for this gun(S&W586)?

    I was bidding on this gun(586-3) on a website, but I never got the gun to meet the reserve price. My max bid was $560. I got an email from the seller today saying he would sell this gun for this price; that would make it $612 after shipping and fees. The thing is, I was the only person bidding...

    What is 586-3 worth?

    What would be the max you would pay for blue 4in 586-3 round butt with box and papers in very good condition? It is online, and I know I have to add shipping and transfer fees. So what would be the price you would pay if it was the gun you wanted?

    Used S&W 586 warranty

    I have been looking at revolvers, and after handling many, I have found the S&W 586 to best fit me. I actually plan on buying one as soon as I find one I like. However, I do not want one with a lock, so this seems to leave me with the only option of buying used. I have no problem with this...

    Gun Store Etiquette

    I was just wondering what your views are on handling handguns(or any gun) while in a gun store. When I ask to see a gun I assume I am allowed to work the actions and everything except for dry firing. Is this reasonable? I have never had any owner/staff say otherwise. Also, how do you aim the...

    Wiley Clapp Gp100 questions.

    Ok, I like the GP 100 and I am really thinking of getting one. I have been looking at the new Wiley Clapp's version and I have a few questions about them. Besides being a 3in, having a different stainless paint job, having different sights, and different grips, are there any other differences...

    When were cartridge conversions first available for old west revolvers such as Colts and Remingtons? I know many were popular after 1873, but when did they come into production?
