    Price check Smith 317

    Hello, I haven't been following the market recently and I've got a Smith and Wesson 317 I'd like to sell. It's in pretty good shape, a couple of tiny marks and the usual turn mark. It's been shot some but not a lot and functions perfectly. What would be a fair asking price? Thanks Steve

    Winchester M23

    My brother in law got a M23 from his father in law when he died. It's marked "Model 23 XTR Lightweight". It appears to be unfired. Still in wooden factory box. He has no desire to keep it and was going to take it to the local shop and trade it in on an O/U. I told him to hold off a bit as I...

    Peters .22s

    The local sporting goods store (Garts) has just started stocking bulk pack Peters .22lr. It's really cheap, $7.70/500. Anyone shot any of this stuff? We've beaten the Federal/Remington/CCI comparisons to death around here. Thanks, Steve

    FEG PJK 9HP Project Report

    Santa said I could have a new pistol and so a couple of weeks ago I picked up a new FEG HP clone. I got this model for a several reasons. First, they're cheap, I paid $220 with one hi-cap. Second, the HP fits my smaller hands better than most other full sized 9mm. Third, they're simple and...

    Newbie reloading question

    I'm just getting into pistol reloading and have a question. The Lee dies I have for .380 have the bullet seating and crimp together in one die. The instructions indicate that both operations can be done at the same time. I'm confused by this. The crimp is adjusted by screwing the die in and...

    Ithaca 37 questions

    My dad died last year and one his guns was an old Ithaca Model 37. It has a 28" barrel and has a duck hunting scene one one side and a pheasant scene on the other. Serial number is in the 368xxx range. I'm certain it's at least 40+ years old, as I remember it as a kid. I know Ithaca 37's are...

    CCW Situation

    Something happened to me last Sunday and after the fact I was thinking that I wasn't sure exactly what the right way to handle it would be. My son and I were walking down Main St in Breckenridge with our dog on a leash. The sidewalk was crowded and pretty narrow. I saw a couple with large...

    Trailside owners

    I was just cleaning my Trailside and noticed the following behavior. I've never had the gun discharge at the range doing this: Safety on, cock gun. Pull trigger, nothing happens. Release safety, gun fires! I was using the red plastic plug at the time, don't know if this would cause this...

    Smallest gun with really good trigger

    Just sold a gun so the hunt is on for the replacement. Since I got my CCW permit my interests have centered on small guns, and I've already got a P-32 and a P-11. Nobody would argue that either have great triggers (apologies to Blackhawk, my P-11 trigger is far better than when it came from...

    Anics CO2 pistol

    Well, the kids are back to school and winter can't be too far away so I was poking around for some sort of air pistol for indoor practice and came across this: http://store.shooters.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=259&Product_ID=21537&CATID=81&group=Anics&SPECIAL_GROUP_ID=0 Looks kind of like a P-11...

    Cz 83 ???

    I was in the local gun store today (Dave's Guns in Denver) with the idea of trying on some 9mm's to replace my Taurus 92. The Taurus has never been a favorite, although for no really good reason. It eats everything, is fairly accurate and didn't cost a lot. Anyway, I tried out a CZ 75 to see...

    Taurus 92 sight

    I've had a PT92 that I've always shot low. I've always blamed it on me, bad trigger control. Last week I took a clamp on vise to the range and discovered that the gun really does shoot low, about 5" at 25 feet. Does anyone know of a source of replacement rear dovetail sights that I could use...
