    Best 'beginner' 1911?

    The title may be misleading, but I don't know how else to put it. Thanks to Walther, I'm now somewhat enamored with semi-autos and other than a Beretta PX4 (.40), I had a 1911 down on my future 'to buy' list. The only thing is there are just a plethora of em out there....but for someone who's...

    Range Report--Comparing My Sixer/Semi-Auto (pics included)

    So after buying that PPK-S of mine yesterday.....then taking it to the range and seeing how positively horrible I was shooting DA.....I wanted to get a better approximation of how much practice I needed to get as good w/the PPK as I am with my S&W. First, the unlucky target. Target was placed...

    My First Semi Auto :)

    Today I bit the proverbial bullet and decided to treat myself. To what you ask? To a Walther PPK-S (.380 Auto) that I've been eying for the last 6 months or so. I would've preferred an all blued finish, but mine is done up in a suitably attractive stainless steel finish w/the std. black...

    K-38 Range Report

    Today I finally took my new toy ('55 K-38 Combat Masterpiece) out for some fun, but first, I had to go buy some goodies which simply consisted of a nice carry case, cleaning kit & tube of Flitz. :) For ammunition, Ultramax was the order of the day, more specifically some of their 125gr...

    Wheelguns Rule (pics inside)

    Today, I got paid......and like I've been sayin all along, I went out and bought my K-38 'Combat Masterpiece'. $279 was kind of steep I thought, but a simple question ("Is the price negotiable?") was all it took for the guys @ Guns Unlimited to drop the price down to $250. I've done some...

    .38/.357 Ammo

    As somewhat of a novice who will be moving up to a .38 (possibly a .357/.38) within the next week or two, from something as small as .17 HMR, I was wondering what would be the best ammo would be in each caliber in terms of recoil & accuracy, for someone who's just getting into mainstream handgun...

    S&w .38

    I'm looking into buying a S&W K-38 "Pre Model 15" for $279. It's got checkered wood grips, a 4" barrel and nickel finish in pretty good condition. I don't know the serial number, but for that price, I want to know if I'm either getting a good deal or not. Anyone have any ideas?

    My Next Gun.........

    The range I go to here in town also sells guns and has a good selection (was actually going to buy a S&W .38spl....but that thing sold fast). However, the place I go and buy my ammo (Guns Unlimited) has a much more impressive selection and one Saturday while I was there on an ammo run, I was...

    Newbie Here

    Turned 21 about three months ago and now that I'm back from school and I've got my permit, I've been out looking for a smaller revolver mostly for target shooting. This afternoon, after some debating back and forth, I settled on a Taurus 17CB4 chambered in .17 HMR It fit my hand like a glove...
