Posted about this elsewhere, but wanted to share my happy story here. So I'm at a local pawn shop & spot a 1911 STI Guardian pistol. I'm interested, but there is a red flag that gives me pause. The grip is bobbed. I'm unaware of STI ever making a pistol with a bobbed grip. So I leave to do some...

Not necessarily the best gun you bought, but the "deal" that made you smile. I got lucky when a local GS had some old 3rd gen S&W LE trades for sale. They were so cheap, I bought two. I knew I could flip one to further reduce the cost of the one I kept. I bought a 6906 & a 6946 for $204 each...

Okay, for me, this would be unlikely. Would almost have to be the dreaded incorrect address, or some "prankster" giving false info to the police. But say it happens. I have no beef with coorporating with the police. But with home invaders sometimes posing as police, I want to be positive it's...

This happened about 6 weeks ago. But it keeps buggin me, and I wondered if this was policy elsewhere. There is an indoor range not far from here. I don't go there often, because they have become just too darned expensive. But they are a lot closer than the gun club I belong to. So when I don't...

She retired early ( age, maybe late 40s ) & I work with her husband. They live in a secluded neighborhood. Very hilly, lots of trees and all the lots are 3-10 acres. So even though they have neighbors, they are not close. Their house is one of the most remote, at the end of a gravel road and...

Posted this a few days ago on another forum. No luck getting an answer, so maybe somebody here knows. Bought a used target/varmint rifle. Has a Leupold scope that I'd like to find out what model it is. It's not offered on Leupold's web site. I called Leupold, and got a very friendly, but not so...

Let's see the one ya like to show off the most:eek: Tuckerdog1

Just messing with the camera & trying to figure it out. Still have a longgggg way to go. Tuckerdog1

When I was young, single, and no mortgage, I would just buy what caught my eye. Thought I should never trade or sell, because the collection would not grow that way. That's now ancient history. I've still never just sold a gun. But have traded many. Kind of became necessary, to keep costs down...

Many of you set out to put together collections that have one or more things in common. Could be a collection of 1911s. Maybe all the Python or Single Six revolvers you can gather. Perhaps anything you can afford from a specific maker. Could be guns from different makers, but all in a specific...

The firing pin on my Taurus 605 seems to have a problem with the spring. The pin will protrude out of the frame if I tilt the gun forward. I took it apart to the point I removed the retaining pin for the firing pin, but it won't come out. Don't want to be forcing things, so I haven't been...

makes a change to their duty sidearm ( maybe go from a revolver to a semi-auto ), who is eligible to buy the guns being replaced? Does it have to be a dealer, or can a private citizen make a buy? If it is okay for Joe citizen, how do you find out about such sales? Thanks, Tuckerdog1

Just got my latest issue of American Rifleman. On page 20 is an offer for any active duty military to get a free 1yr membership to the NRA. The link for this is: http://www.nra.org/supportourtroops Good way to increase membership & a good deal for the troops. Pass it on. Tuckerdog1

Just curious what percentage of the folks here are veterans or active military. Thanks,

Does anybody here have their own indoor range? I ask because we plan to build a new home in a couple years. We have 6 acres, but that's not enough for outdoor shooting. I think 10 is the minimum. So I was thinking, maybe I could plan something from the start for the home's lower level ( which is...

They only seem to get mentioned in passing. But I know some of you have them. Please share your pics. I'll start. Sorry, the pic is old & taken with an old low resolution camera. Tuckerdog1

There is a "chance" I could work out a trade for this rifle. But I never thought I'd be in a position to posess a select fire weapon. So I'm ignorant of most of the legal details. This is located in Europe. Is it even legal for me to import it here? If so, what hoops will I have to jump...

28 min long, but well worth the time to watch. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5001380249576962921&q=bull????&pl=true

Several years ago, I had laser surgery for vision correction. I'm sure over the years, the surgery has probably improved. But wanted to share my situation and ask how others that have had the surgery have fared. My Dr. offered three options. Excellent vision up close, but I'd need glasses for...

I'm confused & need a little help. I thought the difference between a 500 & a 590 was steel trigger guard & safety switch. Not much of a difference. Now looking at the Mossberg website, it looks like the 590A1 has the steel & the "plain" 590 does not. If that's the case, what is the difference...
