    Educate me on the Yugo M57 (Tokarev)

    I just received my M57 Tokarev from AIM Surplus... http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=F3M57&name=Yugoslavian+Tokarev+M57+7.62x25+Pistol&groupid=3 I make holsters and had been keeping an eye out for a Tokarev "dummy" gun to use as a mold for a future order. These fake guns cost about...

    1911 GRIPS... Show and Tell...

    I FINALLY purchased my first 1911 this past week :) I don't have it in my hands yet... so no pics. Waiting is the hardest part - I think that's a Tom Petty song... Anyway, now that I have a 1911 (kind of) I need to pic out some awesome grips! What is your 1911 wearing?? Let's see 'em!

    Colt 1911's... which one?!

    I have my heart set on a 1911. My mind is MOSTLY set on a Colt. I did a bit of searching here before posting this and there is a TON of info... almost too much to digest! I need to hear from those who know :) My budget is somewhat flexible.... probably around $1,000. Less would be better...

    Up to $900 to spend... which 1911?

    I know, I know... another "which 1911 do I buy" thread. My apologies, but I plan on buying my first 1911 before the end of the year and I'm not exactly an expert on the platform. :o What I'm looking for - - .45 ACP - Full size 5" barrel - traditional look (no rails, etc) - Stainless finish...

    FAL or M1A ... I think I need one of them. Educate me.

    Ok, "NEED" might not be accurate... But I think I've settled on my next purchase being a semi-auto rifle in .308 win. I'd like something in .308 that has decent range, accurate at medium to long distances, semi-automatic, and won't set me back more than $2,000. I've got the bolt action rifle...

    Talk me out of this purchase...FN FiveSeven

    I can tell when I'm coming closer and closer to buying a new gun. I start with the research, YouTube videos, find a buddy that has one... basically just ease in to justifying the gun buy :) The FN Five Seven has been on mind for a while now. I WANT ONE. Not for any practical reason... but...

    H&K P2000sk 9mm

    Picked mine up about a month ago and just recently had a chance to get it to the range. What a sweet shooting pistola! I really like the features of this gun... ambidextrious everything, NO external safety, great DA/SA trigger, HEAVY DA and crisp SA, easy to CCW, oh and the ability to swap...

    Sell my Kahr P380 to fund PM9/CM9?

    I've had my P380 for over a year or so now and absolutely love it. However, I'm not a huge fan of the .380 mainly due to price and availabilty. At the time I purchased it, the options for pocket 9mm's were slim. So I am considering a PM9 or CM9. I have no concerns about stopping power or...

    Show and Tell... recent holster build...

    Just wanted to post a pic of a recent holster I made for a friend. He was looking for something to match the Mammoth Ivory grips on his custom 1911. An exact match with leather or other exotics is always tough... but I think I did alright. The inlay is ivory colored Caiman Crocodile. I have...

    Your EDC - pocket, sub-compact, compact, full-size??

    Just doing a little "market research" to get a feel for the size of gun that is most often carried... Personally, I find myself going for my Kahr P380 more times than not, but I will carry my Glock 23 or P7 from time to time. I know weather, dress, circumstance, etc... play a big factor in...

    Need info on an older S&W .32

    This handgun belongs to my grandfather and unfortunately we are at a point where he is needing to sell most of his gun collection. This will likely be passed on to me anyway, but I am offering to buy the gun to help out a bit. I'd like to get an idea of a fair price to offer... The pics...

    Finally! Dad bought his first gun - Ruger SR9c

    I've been encouraging my father to purchase a handgun for the last few years... Something for home defense and the occasional CCW. I'm happy to say that he finally bit the bullet and picked up a Ruger SR9c last week. He was never that enthusiastic about owning a handgun, but after today's...

    To sell or not... and what to get?

    I'm considering parting with my Sig 239 DAK 9mm. It's a GREAT gun but I find that I don't carry it (or even shoot it) very often anymore. If I do sell it, I would immediately replace it with another 9mm handgun. I'd be in the market for something a bit lighter with more capacity. I still...

    Odd little revolver... "What is it!?"

    This belongs to my Grandfather... suprisingly I saw it for the first time this weekend. I can't seem to find any markings on it, but I have yet to remove the grips. Can anyone identify this little guy for me? Make, caliber, date, etc.??? Thanks!

    Is there a better value than the Sig P6 ?

    I've been trying to get my father into shooting for a while now... He has been reluctant to spend a lot of money on his first handgun. I recently found an older Sig P6 (German police trade in) for $350. It has a fair amount of holster wear, but the internals are super clean and in excellent...

    I think I love this gun (Kahr P380)

    I'll try and keep this brief, but I think the quest for my "perfect pocket pistol" has come to an end. Honestly, I thought it would go on forever. I've owned and / or had a decent amount of range time with the LCP, Kel-Tec, Micro Eagle, Sig 238, and a few other pocket .380's that just didn't...

    Just bought a Kahr P380 (fingers crossed)

    Despite some of the recent threads on Kahr's handguns, I decided that I needed to add a P380 to my stable. I was a little hesitant, but I ordered one from Bud's last week and just crossed my fingers. Hopefully it will get here soon enough to take it to the range this weekend! I'm pretty...

    WTS post got nuked!

    I think I know why now... forgot to put my location in the title, oops. Still, did you really have to delete the whole post? Could you have maybe just sent a quick reminder via PM? I'm not selling holsters from a bungalow overseas. I could have typed the letters "MO" in less time than it...

    Handgun in plain sight while driving?

    Yesterday I was sitting in the drive-thru at Subway after the gym. As pulled up to window to get my $5 footlong :D I realized that my CCW was sitting in plain view, holstered, in the passenger seat. (Not a habit I usually practice, but I was in gym shorts and it just slipped my mind). I...

    My Grandpa wants a Taurus Judge...

    The title pretty much says it. My grandfather has his eye on a Taurus Judge. He's a WW2 veteran who owns rifles and is familiar with guns. However, he is a bit rusty when it comes to handguns. Since I've become a "gun nut" in the past couple years, his interest in owning a handgun has been...
