From WSJ: After bad bets on cars and home loans, Cerberus Capital Management is turning to guns and bullets. The private-equity firm is in advanced preparations for an initial public offering of Freedom Group Inc., said people familiar with the situation, hoping to sell shares in a little-known...

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/021113/law025_1.html ...Among the new handgun products displayed were three new Model SW99 pistols and the Model SW 1911, which was once the standard firearm of the U.S. Military and remains a clear favorite of competitive shooters worldwide. "The SW 1911, Smith &...

OK, for those of you with giant heads, what shooting glasses do you use? I have a 7 5/8 hat size, and most of the ones I try are too small - not wide enough.

Many people are emotional about the GI .45. Many veterans hated it and grabbed a Luger, P38 on the battlefield or had a pistol shipped from home. Some have grown nostalgic. Many younger non-veterans seem to be in awe, and attribute all sort of properties to the weapon that weren't obvious to...

What's the best choice for a sidearm to use in case of attack by heavy armored vehicles? I mean, if handguns are better than nothing against brown bears and distant terrorists, surely it makes sense to be prepared? It has to be easy to handle and inexpensive. I don't shoot very well with tongue...

Just when I thought I had all the firearms I could need, American Rifleman has an article on the Smith & Wesson Performance Center and four of the pistols they make. All the Performance Center pistols are semi-custom, some are darned near hand-made. The author ascribes 1 large hole groups at 25...

I was curious about how accurate my Smith & Wesson CS9 would be at 15 yards. Given the short barrel and sight radius (and my distinctly average skill) I figured it would be pretty tough to hit at even that distance. Here's a target of a couple of magazines shot from 15 yards, offhand. And...

I finally had a chance to shoot the CS9 I bought earlier in the week. I wanted something handy for concealed carry and almost bought one of the S&W Scandium revolvers (as little as 10.5 ounces) but the CS9 caught my eye. This pistol is more compact than a Kimber Ultra Carry or SIG P239, but...

- Most pistols ship with a preservative oil and have to be cleaned and lubricated before firing. True for this weapon? - Target rifle shooters go through a break-in, shooting one round several times and then cleaning, then five rounds and cleaning, etc. until they have 50 rounds or so through...

Anyone have one? When I was looking at small pistols and revolvers, these looked pretty nice, stainless steel, well-balanced and compact, if not light. I've decided to go for a lightweight revolver, but it looked like a pretty nice piece. Are they new, unpopular, or is it just not gun-forum PC...

MA small CCW choice - probably a S&W Revolver After looking at what was available new and used, I'm leaning towards a Smith & Wesson Scandium .357 Mag revolver. The S&W lightweight 5 shot revolvers are very light and compact (despite the cylinder). But while at the shop I got to handle the...

I want to buy a .223 semi auto to shoot because of the low cost of ammo (relative to 30.06). But I can't possess an AR15 since it's an "Assault Rifle", along with an SKS, AK, etc. I'm left handed so a bolt action rifle doesn't really appeal to me. It seems like the Ruger Mini 14 is a good...

Currently I don't often carry concealed but will need to do so more often. I've never owned a revolver, and don't care for them. But the two people I know who always carry use 5 shot lightweight .38 Specials (one Airweight and one Titanium). Their rationale is that they are as small, light...

Is there such a model?

CONSENT DECREE DISSOLVED "On April 8, following the city's decision to drop its lawsuit against other members of the firearms industry, Boston and the Boston Public Health Commission agreed to dissolve the Consent Decree signed on March 1, 2001, with Smith & Wesson."

I have to manuever a safe into an out-of-the way place so these models seem to work around 200 lbs so they can be man-handled in. The 2210 has three bolts , a thicker door, and a key lock. The 2920 has five bolts and a combination lock. Are those significant advantages?

I have been shooting Winchester and Federal 230 gr FMJ .45 in my SIG P220. But I recently tried MagTech, a Brazilian company formerly owned by Remington. It seemed to group better and shoot a little cleaner than the Winchester - and it's $9.95 a box of 50. Anyone else using it? I'm more...

Good shooter? What about a 5904 in 9mm?

What do they go for in the open market?

Anyone ever bench .45 230 gr FMJfor accuracy? What's best? I assume the most accurate loads are 185 gr semi wadcutters but like to shoot the 230 gr ball.
