You speak the truth, whether anyone else will admit it or not.

Trying to carry a pistol concealed at all times (necessary in Texas) can be challenging depending on weather conditions, attire, daily activities, and locations visited. There are plenty of places that don't allow weapons either by signage or law. It becomes very inconvenient when trying to run...

Hey guys, what about this ad? I mean, it's an "original" Saturday Night Special! The $300 price is a steal for this cherry Raven .25 auto!! http://www.armslist.com/posts/1439280/dallas-texas-handguns-for-sale-trade--original-saturday-night-special

Thanks for the 2 out of 3 positive responses so far. There are some things I'm passionate about, and one of them is my distaste for scam artists. These guys are usually pretty slippery to catch, but I've caught my fair share in the past and built solid cases against them. I no longer am...

So I wake up this morning on my day off and browse my local Armslist for any good deals. I come across a Colt LE6920 Magpul Special being offered for the incredibly awesome price of $759. I also noticed a few other "really good deals" that seemed to be offered by the same seller because of the...

Something also interesting in the video is that after the shooting occurs, a full 3 minutes pass before police sirens (the officer's backup) can be heard in the background. And this is on an officer-involved shooting, which is a type of call where backup officers waste NO time in getting to the...

Thanks, armedwalleye. I had halfway been interested in picking up a double-barrel shotgun to play around with at the range, but I really didn't want to spend a lot of money. I was in the right place at the right time to come across this Red Label. I initially thought about flipping it to make...

It's not "hot". I ran the numbers through NCIC the next day and it's not stolen. And no, I didn't buy it from a grieving widow. Far from it. Just a homie who posted an ad on Armslist who didn't know anything about what he had. If he had enough computer skills to place an ad for sale, I'm sure he...

Actually, the guy was asking $250, but all I had was $20 bills and he didn't have change. I gave him a $10 "tip". LOL

Ha! Oh no...it was $260 all right. I think the guy I bought it from just didn't know what he had. But I did have a clue and I knew it had to be worth at least double.

I recently purchased a used Ruger Red Label 12ga for $260. Research on the serial number shows a likely production year of 1999. It's in very good condition and appears to have been hunted with a bit because of a few scratches on the metal and a few dings in the stock. The only chokes I have...

Check out this cool Colt Commander: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=28439579

Thanks for the responses. I've been thinking about a Model 18 for a while. It seems that everyone who has one loves it. This one seems to be a good deal with it being in excellent condition and with the box and papers. Any other opinions out there?
