IIRC, it's LEGAL to OWN 'switchblades'...in most states....but ILLEGAL to carry them(except under cirtain stringent conditions). Can someone set me clear with the FEDERAL slant on this? TIA

I'm reading about 'more than a few' STAINLESS Beretta 92/96s with broken slide stops. NOBODY can tell me if these failures are with just USA or Italian-made STAINLESS guns. MY stainless 92FS is Italian and I'd REALLY like to know if I have a 'problem' in the works.

....allows for the FASTEST shot-to-shot hits on target and still perform as intended? Would it be standard pressure 115, 124 or 147 grain?

I found an Enfield No4MK1 at a local gun shop. It's one of the ones made by SAVAGE ARMS CO. The gun is in EXCELLENT shape, even having an 'S' marked magazine. However, the stock has been butchered by a 'hunter'. The guy is asking $145 for it. Is it worth putting some $$$ in and restoring it to...

A few weeks ago, I had a defective Remington .223 duty round. After contacting Remington and relaying the problem to them, they asked for the round. Today, a little over a week after sending them the defective round, I received 200 rounds of .223 PSP from Remington......NO CHARGE! Now THAT's...

The following event happened this past weekend. I know it's probably too early to expect a reply from Remington(e-mail was sent this past Sunday), but...(no reply, yet): Mr. Foster(Director of Remington LEO marketing Division), I am an officer with the XXXXXX, TN Police Department. We're a...

How are they holding up?

9MM or .40S&W...which(weapon/caliber) and why? TIA

Anyone carry one on duty? If so, what are your impressions? How does it compare to an AR15? TIA

Today, at the local flea market, I spied a WWII machete. I've owned several over the years, but I've never seen one like THIS one before. It's marked 'True Temper -1945-'. The blade is 17 7/8-inches long and retains most of its original finish. There are NO pits and NO rust on the blade. The...

...will NOT come out when a draw is attempted. I have a new(2 weeks old) 'Front Line' holster for my SIG P239. This is an unlined leather holster from Israel. It is of the 'Askins Avenger' type and is heavily boned. While my P239 goes IN easily, the holster REFUSES to release the weapon for a...

I've narrowed it down to 3 options: 1) Kimber ProCarry II(blued, w/nite sights) 2) Springfield Armory Full-sized ltwt 'LOADED', w/nite sights 3) Springfield Armory Champion ltwt 'LOADED', w/nite sights Have the 'problems' I've heard about regarding the Kimber 'II' versions been corrected...

SOG advertizes them but CANNOT deliver. I want a NICE one REALLY badly.

My new neighbor showed me a revolver he got from a former LEO. At first glance, you would SWEAR it was an S&W M28. Not so. It IS built on S&W's 'N' frame, but.... * it has a .38 Special cylinder * barrel is marked .38 S&W Special ctg The barrel has been professionally shortened from, I'm...

I'm putting together a 'collection' of firearms that LEOs from the 1960s would have had access to. My most recent acquisitions are a 1954 Winchester M12 riot gun and a Colt 'Official Police' .38 Special. My OP has a 4-inch barrel and came with the original 'Coltwood' grips. It has moderate...

I figured I'd ask the experts, so.... I'm trying to put together (2) WWII/Korean War battle gear sets: one for an M1 Carbine, the other for an '03-A3. I need help finding a SOURCE of such gear, whether surplus or repro....it doesn't matter. Any ideas? TIA

I recently picked up a Winchester M12, made in 1954. It's a riot gun, w/ 20-inch barrel(has correct 'cuts' for heat shield), and is in approximately 85% condition. With the exceptions of an incorrect recoil pad(fixable) and the fact that some IDIOT drilled the barrel band/mag tube for a swivel...

I see ADs, but NO guns!

I have the opportunity to buy an '03A3 built on a National Ordnance receiver. I would rate the overall finish of the rifle at 75-80%. I know National Ordnance receivers('03A3, M1, M1 Carbine) were made in the '60s, and IIRC, they were cast(?). The bore is great and it has the correct 'scant'...

I've located a nice(80%+) M12, with factory 20-inch barrel, complete with the 'cuts' for the heat shield. HOWEVER(don't you just love those?)...the barrel assembly doesn't match the receiver. The serial numbers aren't even close to matching, other than both starting with a '1'. The barrel...
