    CT senator to attempt a ban on all but single-shot weapons

    http://www.cga.ct.gov/2013/TOB/S/2013SB-00122-R00-SB.htm There you have it. If this idiot gets his way CT shooters will only be allowed to own 1800's style single-shot weapons.

    Has anyone here actually "worn out" a handgun?

    We hear it all the time, people posting with questions like "how long with my alloy-framed 1911 last?" and "what will happen if I run a steady diet of +P ammo through my snub revolver?". The question I submit here is, has anyone here actually "worn out" or broken a handgun under normal use...

    S&W 3rd gen magazine followers

    I'm needing some more factory 11-round mags for a S&W 4006. The two I have currently have yellow followers, but I've noticed among the used mags for sale out there some have yellow while others have blue followers, and I believe the new ones also are blue. Is there a difference?

    Owners: Bersa Thunder 380 vs. Kel-Tec PF-9

    I would like comments form those who actually own BOTH of these guns. I have a Bersa, and it was supposed to go to a family member who has very small hands and is recoil-shy. Unfortunately I've found it actually hurts my hand when I shoot it. I see the Kel-Tec PF-9, but I wonder if it has less...

    Help needed to ID 1860 Army replica

    I am curious if anyone can tell me a little about an 1860 Army replica revolver I just inherited from my father. It is marked "CENTENNIAL 1960 New Model Army". It has what appears to be import or proof stamps on it, "Made in Belgium" on the heel of the grip, and on the frame a strange...

    Heads up: new movie "American Gun"

    http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808745928/details I assume it is still in production, but be prepared for this honey to be released sometime soon. Looks like another politically-biased commentary posing as "entertainment". :barf: I might suggest adding comments to the message board on this site...

    1911 owners sign here...

    Okay, in the spirit of the other posts, here's one for 1911's, but with a twist. Just an informal poll on what you mostly use your 1911's for (multiple choice). Also, what is your most frequently used 1911 pistol? Mine changes with the seasons, but currently it's a stainless Colt Series 70...

    1911forum.com down for good

    Ladies and gentlemen, I regretfully have to inform you that Jason (owner of the 1911 Forum) has announced he can't run the website any longer and had to pull the plug. He's looking for somebody who can pick up the torch, but don't plan on that happening anytime in the near future. Very...

    Kahr P-series update?

    When the new Kahr P9 first came out people were complaining of various issues. Same when the P9 Covert model came out as well. Now that all of these have been out for awhile, what has been everyone's experiences? Anybody had a chance to do any long-term testing or shooting? I've had my early P9...

    Anyone have an HK P2000?

    I'm thinking about one of these in .40 S&W. Anybody have one, and how do you like it? I used to have a USPc Compact in .40 but didn't care for its boxy feel.

    Cheap vendor for night sights?

    Having just suffered sticker shock from two local dealers for Trijicon night sights (they want $130 for Glock sights), and knowing that Brownells isn't the cheapest around either, are there any places that sell them for less?

    Kahr 8-round magazines?

    Kahr is now advertising 8-round 9mm magazines for the K9/P9 pistols. Has anybody here tried them out yet? I want to know if they seem to be just as reliable as the 7-rounders or not.

    cell phone holder/gun holster?

    Does anybody know who currently makes IWB holsters for small guns like a Kel-Tec P32, but are concealed on the outside by having a cell phone holder? I used to see similar ones for pagers years ago.

    I am thinking of getting a Colt SAA clone for under $1000. I'm looking for the one that comes the closest to an original 1st generation old-style frame in authenticity and quality. I've heard of the AWA, Cimarron, EMF, and tons of other imported clones. I am also aware of the US Firearms models...

    Star Wars character's sidearms on Earth?

    Hypothetical question. Had the entire Star Wars saga taken place on Earth, where they all used conventional weapons, what would each character's sidearms or main weapons have been? Here's my guesses: LUKE SKYWALKER- Stainless Beretta 92 HAN SOLO- Smith & Wesson N-frame .45 Colt CHEWBACCA-...
