Can you account for every gun you have ever purchased that you don't have any more? Do you know who you traded, sold, gave, etc. each gun?

It seems odd that people are getting so excited by arming of pilots these days. Up until late 70’s it was not uncommon for commercial pilots to carry handguns while flying. My neighbor, an old B-29 pilot during Korean War, was a commercial pilot for Eastern Airlines (anybody remember them?)...

Well, after 26 years, it has been 15 days since I smoked my last cig. I used to smoke upto 2 packs a day but for past 2 ~3 years I was smoking about 4 packs a week. I woke up one morning and just decided to see if I can stop smoking for a while. Wife noticed 4 days later that I wasn't smoking...

Do you have a handgun you just enjoy having? It doesn’t have to be the one you shoot or carry the most but just enjoy having it? I have a blued 4” Colt Diamondback in 38 Special that I got several years ago for only $300 at a gun show. It was built in 1978 (I think) and is in LNIB condition...

I got a walnut stock from VOW for my MAK-90 and need to finish it. Can I just sand it smooth and then rub linseed oil on it or is there better (more durable) method? Any advice on how to do the work?

I have a chance to buy one from a guy I know. He said he got it back in 1976 or 1977 and has shot some trap with it but never took it out in the field. I saw it tonight and it looked very clean and would rate it 99% or better. It looks like it has a 26" barrel with mod choke and a beautiful...

Yesterday afternoon I went with some friends to the local rock pit to do some "long range" handgun shooting. We were shooting empty 20 lb propane tanks from 100 yards and 200 yards with 357mag, 44mag, 38 Super and 40S&W. Towards the end of the day I took out my Browning Hi-Power and decided to...

Do you have all your guns under your control or do you have some outside of your home (as in friend or relative's house)? I realized today that I have: My sister's house - 1 revolver, 1 shot gun, 1 rifle My brother's house - 1 revolver, 1 pistol (maybe 2), 1 shotgun, 2 rifles My father's...

Few months ago my cousin who lives in California was on one of the on-line auction sites and found a spare mag for his Steyr GB. He bidded on it and won it for decent price. Problem is that the description on the aution site showed it as 10 round factory mag for 9mm Steyr GB pistol but nobody...

Early this morning, as he does every other Monday, my lawn guy came by to work around the house so I went out to see him and to offer him a cup of coffee. He and I talk for few minutes every time he comes so I have gotten to know him a little and I like the guy. His English is not that great...

I'm trying to findout when a Colt Python with serial number K160XX was produced. I saw it this morning at a local gun shop and I'm thinking about getting it. The revolver is about 98% condition and has that beautiful deep blue "Royal" finish and the actions feel great. The single fault is...

Which handgun just feels right in you hand... perfect balance, grip and size? I have medium size palm but short fat fingers so shorter reach trigger is import for me. As of now following handguns feels good in my hand: 1. 1911 pistols with flat checkered MSH and short reach trigger. Nothing...

I'm looking to refinish one of my 1911 pistols soon and need some advice on what finish would meet my needs. My requirements are as follows: 1. Durable - Something that would not show holster wear or scratched very easily. 2. Rust resistance - This is one of my CCW guns and I sweat a lot. 3...

What are your personal preferences for self-defense ammo (not LEO, Military or SHTF) in handguns? Here are my personal choices for my handguns: 22lr - CCI MiniMag Solids 38 Special - Federal 125gr Nyclad JHP 38 Special +P - Winchester 158gr LSWCHP +P 9mm - Federal 115gr JHP (9BP) 9mm +P -...

Well, I finally got my own Browning Hi-Power! I have played with my cousin’s Hi-Power on and off for past 10 years but I for one reason or another I never got around to getting my own. After seeing several pictures Mr. Stephen Camp’s Hi-Powers on here and other boards lately I HAD to get...

Go to you local Walmart stores soon and see if they have any ammo with price tag with red stripe on top. These are red tag items and in few weeks they are going to have 50% off sale on ALL red tag items to reduce store space for Christmas season items. Last year about this time I got some...

I received my 15 round Argentine mags for my Browning Hi-Power from CDNN today. Looks like good hi-cap mags for $18. One problem I'm having is that I can seem to be able to remove the floor plate on these mags. Is there a secret to doing it? Thanks.

Anybody have any experience with Argentine KRD 15 round military mags for Browning Hi-power? Are they reliable enough for carry?

Did original Browning Hi-powers (P-35) made by FN back in 1930's have magazine safety or did it come later?

How long do you think you can keep shotshells if they are kept in cool and dry place? I just got 1,000 rounds of Federal Tactical 00 buckshots from a friend at a price I could not refuse. He got them back in 1999 and has kept them in his closet enclosed in ammo cans. The A/C in his house is...
