I have decided to scratch my itch for an M1/M14 style rifle by buying an M1 Garand from the CMP. I've really been lusting after an M1A, but funds won't allow and I really can't find any reason not to buy one of the CMP Garands. $625 for a service grade seems like a steal, and I always love...

Went to the local gun show this morning with a Springfield Armory G.I. 1911 that I was intending to sell or trade off. Turn-out at the show was pretty good, but few of the dealers had anything that caught my eye. Lots of plastic pistols and cheap guns, few revolvers that weren't S&W 642's or...

I just purchased an 870 Express that I plan on using as a home defense gun. The only thing I want to do to it is attach a sling, and I want a sling that has loops sewn in for holding extra shells. I'm pretty much a newb when it comes to accessories, so I'm looking for some recommendations on a...

I'm pretty set on getting a Colt SP6940 sometime soon, but just incase something would happen to where I can't afford to buy it this year, I'm looking into other guns, specifically AK's. And to think, I thought the world of AR's was confusing enough.... I think I understand most of the basics...

To be honest, I've never really had that much of an interest in AR-15's. I've always seen them as sort of generic, and the non-conformist in me kept me away. Recently though I've started to gain some interest in them and have considered buying one as a birthday/Christmas present for myself. I...

I was just watching the latest episode of Mythbusters, and one of the myth's the team put to the test was that of the merry-go-round scene from the movie Shoot Em' Up. In that particular scene, Clive Own uses a Taurus 92 clone to shoot the railings on a merry-go-round, causing it to spin. The...

I know bear defense is quite a popular topic around these parts, so I thought the gun guru's might enjoy this: Bear Sneaks Into House Is your HD piece good enough for bear? :D

I just received one amazing gift from my Grandfather: a Smith & Wesson 27-2. The blue is at 99%, and it came in the wood case with all the tools and the original paperwork. It's damn near perfect. He bought it many years ago after he opened first first successful business. Since then, it looks...

Anyone have any experience with Eagle Grips, in particularly their "Classic" line. I've got a new 629, and I'm looking for set of, well, classic looking grips for it, and Eagle is the only thing I can find that looks original (minus the checkering) and won't break the bank.

I'm interested in getting a .44 magnum Smith. I was going to buy a used Model 29, but unfortunatly it was sold before I could get to it. Now I'm look into getting a new 629 6", the one with the half lug barrel. My question is on the grip frame. I would prefer a square butt, but I can't find...

I've been looking at Tokarev's for a little while now, and I think I'm interested in getting one. My birthday is around the corner, and I've got $400 to play with, and a TT 33 seems like a fun little range toy. I'm looking for some input from the more experienced. I've searched the forums, but...

Well, a family outing to the nearest Cabella's and Bass Pro Shop yesterday resulted in the addition to new members of the family: A 6" stainless GP100 for me and a Buckmark for my father. We got a very good deal at Bass Pro Shop on both guns. The GP100 is excellent as far as I can tell. It's...

Lately I have been thinking about getting a S&W 4506. I was thinking about keeping it as a possible truck/nightstand gun for later on in life. It also looks like it would make a fun blaster for range use. I would also imagine as time goes on it might increase a little in value. So far...

I have a park'd Springfield GI and I am looking to add a little personality to it with some different grips. I have come to love the looks of ivory on a black 1911 (and on most guns in general), and was thinking about picking up a set for my GI. Real ivory is beautiful, but it just doesn't...
