I recently bought a used S&W 586 in excellent (visual) condition. Yesterday I discovered that one of the chambers of the cylinder is out of time... not worse than my old Python, which was completely off, but enough to trigger some concern (I sold the Python before doing anything else with it). I...

In less than a month, I have bought TWO revolvers... a S&W 586 and now a S&W Model 29... I never thought myself to be a revolver guy, but I'm suddenly extremely good with the idea... my semis are sitting neglected in the safe, but I'm also almost scared to shoot the 29 because I don't want to...

... from Smith & Wesson business machines. :D

I'm almost speechless. http://www.boston.com/dailyglobe2/331/metro/Calif_fugitive_issued_online_statement_before_arrest+.shtml His full "manifesto" is here: http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2002/11/1545325.php This reeks of popular leftist political propaganda that's aimed at the...

Well, the folks at HKPRO are gonna hate me for this, but I've decided that it's time to let go of my USP 9mm (I've tried to at least twice before), and I'll need to fill the gap. (For all you HKPRO people, never fear: I still have my P7M8 and SL8-4 :D) Anyways, I've narrowed my new gun...

I'm seriously entertaining the idea of getting a (or more than one if it proves itself) Norinco NP29, a single-stack 9mm 1911. I'd get a .45, but I'm not a big fan of the patriot-missle caliber (no offense :)) and I can't afford too much .45 ammo. Does anyone here own an NP29 or have shot it...

I think I'll go spend a few last moments with my guns, before they get confiscated, or I die trying to stop them. http://cagle.slate.msn.com/news/Sniper/1.asp This is just too much.

No, seriously, it does. I've tried FP-10 on various guns of mine, and I have to admit, things are really smooth now, but geez, does it really have to smell like cinnamon hearts? :D I used KleenBore Formula 3 CLP before FP-10, and the smell is much closer to the classic "new gun" smell that I'm...

<sarcasm> It is clear how unbiased and unquestionably accurate the media is when it comes to reporting gun-related "incidents", which, as we all know, are horribly frequent occurances that by far cause more potential harm to people each day than do fistfights, automotive accidents, food...

I recently saw a used Beretta 92FS in the shop; the piece is an Italian made model, which suggests it's been around longer than the others, but is in unbelievably good shape. What are some things I should look for? I know that there was a locking block redesign in the 1990s, but are there any...

Just out of curiosity: What kind of event, short of terrorisim, political uprising, global war, or thermonuclear event, would it take for you to realize that SHTF? I was inspired by another thread on another forum, but the general idea was that there are some situations that are absolutely...

Alrighty, I've determined that I'm going to clean up this current mess of guns that I've bought on impulse and trade them for a collection of guns that I've actually promised myself I'd get. Due to tight finances as well as potential legal hurdles, I am forced to sell certain items from my small...

Welp, I just came back from the range with my new 10/22 (my very first rifle, to be honest), and while the scope is now sighted in, I have a new question: How many jams should I expect in an NIB Ruger 10/22? In 160 rounds of American Eagle (Federal) Copper Plated High Velocity, I had about 10...

First off, this is what I own: Colt Python .357 Royal Blue Ruger 10/22 w/ custom modifications USPF 9mm Sig P226 9mm (German manufacture) Tomorrow, I was going to sell my USP, but thinking further, I am considering taking both the USP and the P226 to the store. I kinda feel bad, considering...

Just for the record, YES, Canadians may own firearms (including handguns). In more ways than one, the entire process of buying firearms in Canada more than goes against the values of our good American neighbors, but here are the basic facts and procedures, just so you can be informed about...

Alright, after months of haggling with the Federal Government, my Colt Python .357 Royal Blue (slightly used) now sits on my bench, ready for the ceremonial scrubbing and cleaning, followed by the ceremonial drooling, followed by more ceremonial cleaning, etc... Question is, how do I take down...

There was a time when this student was obsessed with computers. At least once every month or two months I would spend nearly $1000 CAD on the latest toys, gadgets, consumer electronics, and other latest manifestations of consumer electronics. But technology hated me. It hated me with a...

... you spend the money leaping for a new gun (specifically a Sig P226, in my case), but you find out a day later that a gun that you REALLY want and thought that couldn't legally get in your country (namely, an HK P7M8) just became available in its legal form? ARRRG. NEED. MONEY. NOW. :mad...

Well folks, I traded in my Beretta for a first-generation Sig P226... My choice was pretty much between The 226 and a Walther P99, but after excessive dry-firing, I found I couldn't reconcile with the P99 trigger system. The last option was another HK USP (my current running favorite), but I...

Well, I'm a newbie here, but I'd like to extend my appreciation to everyone for these great forums :) Anyways, I have a question that requires your expertise/bias: I'm considering a new 9mm, either a Walther P99 or a Sig P220/226, CZ75 (ugly), or whatever else you might suggest... Sadly, I'm...
