    Bersa day at the range

    Picked up a used (gently, I believe) BT 380 a week or so ago and just had a chance to get it and its little bro, my BT 22, out to the range today. Mostly, I was just function testing the 380 as this was my first time out with it. Put 100 rounds of Monarch brass and Blazer aluminum through it...

    Another 22 - SR22, Bersa Thunder 22, Walther PPK/s 22

    Looking to add a 22 to my range bag. Already have a Ruger 22/45 which I love, but looking for another fun gun. I'm looking at these three: Ruger SR22: gets very good reviews. Seems reliable with almost any ammo. Bersa Thunder 22 and, for that matter, the Walther PPK/s 22, have a coolness...

    Transporting a gun thru DC and Maryland

    So I've done a search on the interwebs, and I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this. Here's my question. I'm in Texas. I have an old High Standard 22 revolver I'd like to gift to my brother in Maryland. Shipping it is not out of the question, but likely to cost as much as the gun is...

    New to shotguns...looking at a few for HD

    Friends...looking at a shotgun, mostly for HD use. I don't think I would use it for hunting, although that might be a possibility in the future. Right now I'm looking at two and would greatly appreciate your thoughts. First, is a well used Savage 69RH. It's a State of Arizona police shotgun...

    S&W 909??

    Ran across a rather forlorn 909 the other day. Was in a bit of a hurry and had no cash on me....but I got to thinking... Looked like a LE trade in...fair amount of wear to the blued finish, particularly on the muzzle. But, I did not get a chance to fondle...errr...examine it. May have to go...

    Weak Recoil Spring??

    I am curious...several questions about recoil springs and when to replace. How do you know when to replace a recoil spring? Can a weak spring lead to accuracy issues? When you replace the recoil spring is there any issue with going with a spring that is slightly stronger than original spec...

    Acquired a S&W 908S this weekend...

    ...a gorgeous little single stack in stainless. From the looks of it, it was shot very little and apparently not carried that much. Very little wear on the slide and the mag was very clean. Honestly, it looks like it was kept in a sock drawer and rarely shot. Frankly, being used to 9mm double...

    Ruger SR22 vs Bersa Thunder 22LR

    Ive been shopping for a smaller 22 semiauto pistol just for general plinking and light hiking. I have a 22/45 and love it at the range but it really doesn't drop in the pocket well for an afternoon hike. Nor does my old High Standard Sentinel. I've read some about both, pros and cons, they're...

    SR9c - I am ENTHUSIASTIC

    Traded up from a Ruger P95 to a SR9c last week and WHOA!! What a lovely pistol! The 95 was a tank and I liked it alot but I wanted something less clunky, more ergonomic and with the potential to conceal carry in the future. The SR9c is all that and more. Even though I have large hands, it...

    Czech Point revolvers

    I've been wanting to add a 22LR revolver to my meager collection as a plinker but man...even the Taurus and Charter 22s are expensive. Not to mention even a used S&W. I ran across Czech Point yesterday and I am intrigued. http://www.czechpoint-usa.com/products/revolvers/ Anyone have any...

    Curious about Lee Handloader...from a complete noob

    And what I need to get started reloading 38 special. I've been saving 38 spl brass, mostly Speer Lawman and Winchester, that I've been firing through a S&W model 10-5. I'm intrigued with Lee's Handloader but would be curious to know what else I'd have to add to it to start some very basic...

    Yessss! Adopted a S&W!!!

    Got my first revolver yesterday, S&W Model 10 with a 4" barrel. Serial number indicates this is a 1970 manufacture. But it looks like it walked out of the showroom last week. For a 40 year old revolver, it is absolutely pristine! Bluing has to be about 98%, there is no holster wear whatsoever...
