'Bout 20 years ago I picked up a 1966 vintage Model 38 in the distinctive MPS colors, blue frame and stainless cylinder. I think I paid like $210 out the door and it became my carry gun. Went back to S&W once to get tuned up as it wasn't indexing well. Stuck a pair of CTC grips on it, sighted...

If this is in the wrong place, please lmk so I can put it where it belongs for best visibility, coz I am at a loss and I am looking for hivemind help. My father passed away, my step mother is the executor of the will/estate/etc. In his will, he left several firearms to his children and...

Wow, its been almost a decade since I last posted here... had some kids, things got expensive, y'know, is what it is. The question is simple, I need something to store the firearms in. My father passed away, and has left a significant number to my children and I. Additionally, the kids have...

Y'know, I finally decided to buy one and for the last two and a half months, give or take, I haven't actually found any. I spoke to the local store I consistently buy from, and their response was they keep ordering them but none show up. Anyone with some insight?

Thinking about making a switch to a 4" XD9 as a CCW. I'm up in the air about it. I don't want suggestions on other firearms, but I will take reasons as to why an XD9 isn't a good choice. :) I'm quite comfortable with 9mm's abilities to perform. I'm not interested in a .40S&W or .45ACP. First...

Cabelas, of all places, has a 4" Colt Python in their used section. Its on hold, now, while I think about it. Their asking price is $695, and I'm undetermined. First, I don't really need it. I already have a perfectly servicable 4" .357 (a S&W) that fills my need, and I was looking for a model...

In a past thread, I asked about a picatinny rail for an AK, preferably the receiver cover style. Everyone said "buy a foreend mount," and then pointed out what was widely considered the best, and I considered above my price range. So, I found a cheaper model. I'd be really happy with it, even...

Plan on putting the EOtech on my (Polish?) AK-47 underfolder, and I need to know what I'm looking for to do it. I'm cheap, and I'm happy with "good enough" over "best" so anything over about $50ish is not gonna be on my shopping list, either. So, am I looking for the sort of weaver rail...

As much as I dislike these threads (and I worry about the answers), I present the question... So, bought a used Yugoslavian underfolder M70AB2 today. Came with 1 30rd mag, 3 40rd mags, and 1200 rounds of boxed Wolf ammo (the grey stuff, not the green). Negotiated price, $600. The going rate of...

...or can I just use some left over brass? I mean, FWIW, at least "real" snapcaps for centerfire calibres have nifty little spring mounted "primers' in them so it looks like they do someting, but on a rimfire... What possibly can it be? A piece of metal or plastic that gets smooshed flat by the...

So, there's a surprising lack of information that I could turn up in a couple of searches on the Taurus 94, most of it from the same people (which, of course, makes sense). So, being that I bought one (the ultralight, 2" snub version), I figure I'll throw my two cents in so that the next guy...

Oh, how I hoped I'd never have to actually make a post like this, but I think I need some informed opinions on what I should do... So, first the setup: I'd like to supplement my CCW practice with something a bit cheaper. I'm not made of money, so 50rds of .38spl once or twice a week will bleed...

Well, this is the second time I've given serious thought to trying this out. Last time I was very prepared to make the plunge, but rapidly priced myself out of it by continually going bigger and bigger with a series of little jumps. This time, though, that won't happen coz I've already made the...

Hello, Stumbled on a deal I couldn't avoid, an EOtech for only $80. Now, I want to search out an ideal mounting solution for the top of my AR-15A4, a flat top. I have a front sight on the gasblock, and mounting the sight directly on the upper puts the reticle on-point with the front sight...

Hi, a friend of mine has a Winchester Model 1897 (he also states the words Model 97 appear on it in another location), 12 gauge and with a long (30") barrel attached. He's given me a S/N of D3968xx. Anyone have a clue for the year of manufacture for this? He said this belonged to his wife's...

Hi! I'm looking for guidance, and I figure there's some people here who'll be able to weigh in on this... Today I found a NiB Model 19 4" in blue steel. Its unfired, as a matter of fact there's barely a turn ring on the cylinder (and its tied off, so as to prevent unwanted abuse). It comes with...

Hey hey! The wife tells me she might like shooting more if she had a different firearm...this is far superior than a discussion abotu new shoes, so I've seized it and run with it. She's been looking at .22 DA revolvers, and it seems like the Taurus M94 fits the bill. We've been looking around...

Hello. First thing's first: Without even saying or researching, I know that a good safe is not cheap. Its a given. On the other hand, ANY safe is better than no safe. Guess what I've got now? Let's start by giving facts... I have a "few" firearms, both long guns and hand guns. They're...

Well, I'm almost positive I'm going to pick up a Hi-Power from CDNN next week, but I'm confused about the differences between the SFS and mk3. Now, I know what SFS does, but I have a question on its use.. If I choose to, do I have the option to utilize the pistol in cocked and locked config...

Came back from the range today, and I seem to have developed a slight issue. Using a S&W 1960's vintage Model 38 I suddenly developed a bad case of the firing pin NOT hitting the primer. It impacts about a millimeter to the side. Now, this guy is old, obviously, and came used to me. The shop...
