I'm planning to get a model 17-8, which is the model with the 10rd. cylinder. Is this gun a J frame or a K frame? Also, anyone have any experience with ammo choices in these? I have lots of standard velocity ammo and some high velocity stuff. What will give the best accuracy out of a 6 inch...

With the changes at Winchester, what do you think will become of the WSSM calibers? Isn't Win and Browning the only two companies that make them? With model 70's gone will Browning still make them, or will they become obsolete?

I have seen lots of these with magazine clips. Yesterday I found a model 77 with tube feed. The pawn shop had it marked as a rare gun. And, of course, was asking a higher price for it. How "rare" is a tube fed model 77? After smirking at them, I went home and looked through some auction...

I recently won an auction for this pistol. It was sold by EAA in the mid nineties. I assumed it was made by Tanfoglio, but looking at it, it is exactly like the Beretta model 70 target pistol. It has the 6 inch heavy barrel, all the buttons and pins are in the same place, contours are the...

When you ask to look at a pistol at your favorite gun shop, how do they handle it when they get it out? A couple of shops I go to will just hand it to you. A couple others will always go through the process of opening the gun to make sure it isn't loaded before handing it to me. That got me...

What can you tell me about a Colt Pocket hammerless in 32acp? Is it safe to shoot with any 32acp, fmj, hollow points, etc.? The local shop has one with less then 50% finish in it, but good bore, no rust, and seems to work fine. It has the thumb safety, like on a 1911. They're asking $275, and...

I stopped by a shop to buy ammo yesterday and saw what I thought was a PPK clone sitting on the shelf. Lo and behold, it was a Daewoo .22 pistol. It is a PPK clone, even breaks down like one,single or double action, and a 10 round mag. This one looked unfired, no powder residue anywhere. The...

I picked up this nice little Colt at the gun show over the weekend. It is 38spl., 4 inch barrel, target grips. The serial number in the crane is 9653xx. I didn't see any letter in front of it. Is this a 1968 model? Also, is it safe to shoot +P ammo in these? By the way, this had very nice...

Anyone familiar with the Armscor rifles that are out, that look like competition rifles? I think the model number is 1400. I bought a bolt action at the gun show this weekend for $150, new in box. I hoped that at that price I wouldn't get too burned. It is a blued model, 10 round mag...

I found one of these in a local shop. Looking on some auction sites I've seen others listed as models 101 and 102. Some nice looking pistols, how do they compare to other Beretta models? How is the quality and reliability? The model I saw yesterday looked like new. It had a 4 inch barrel...

Well, I went and did it. I was at a shop yesterday and this Taurus grapped me by the arm and made me take it home. It is a model 608, blue, 8 shot, 4 inch barrel that is ported. It has some holster wear, and needed a good cleaning. I got the guys to sell it to me for $225, tax included. I've...

I just picked up an Iver Johnson M1 that is chambered for 9mm. It is in an Iver Johnson synthetic pistol grip stock. It is stamped that it was made in Jacksonville, Ark. It has a 15 round mag that looks like a high power mag. I've looked on the net and havent found much yet. I know it was...

I put my money down on a nice model 645 the other day. Hopefully I'll pick it up next week. Anyway, I've got some wolf ammo in the safe. Would you shoot wolf in a 645? It's the 230gr., FMJ stuff. I've got alot of Win. white box too. I'm sure that's what I'll use first. Thanks.

I found this over/under at a shop yesterday. It is Italian made, 26 inch barrels, single trigger, with barrel selector on the safety switch, vent rib. Anyone familiar with them? What kind of reputation do they have? It was priced at $399. Other than obvious use, it was in very good shape.

Have any of you purchased one of these new .22 pistols yet? I saw one at a gun store yesterday. It seemed nice, lifetime warranty from Olympic Arms on it. It only came with one clip. The price was $279., brand spanking new. If anyone has any experience with it, how does it shoot? Also, how...

I own a Bersa 380, and really like it. My local shop got in a Mini45 yesterday. I know Bersa makes them. Have any of you fired one of these? It seems like alot of bullet in a small gun. How is the recoil in it? Will it shoot HP, or just FMJ? They put it out for $299. Very tempting---...

If you have a Bass Pro Shops near you, they are advertising 9mm Win. white box, 100 rounds, FMJ, for $9.98 a box. That's new Win. ammo at surplus price. Not too bad.

My local shop got in a Taurus Titanium .357, 7shot, snubbie. It is blue, not gun blue, shiny blue. It has the number 0925 stamped in the yoke. I couldn't find any listing for that model number. Any of you shot the titaniums? How do they feel? This one is very lightweight. I should add...

Does anyone know if this pistol was available in any other caliber then .380? I've been told the Blue Book lists .22, and .32,and the 9mm police round, but nobody I know has ever seen them. The only ones listed for sale on any auctions are in .380. Just curious.

This came up at the gun shop recently and I didn't know the answer. We all know John Browning's great 1911 pistol, plus his other guns, but did Browning ever design a revolver? If not, anyone know why?
