There is a car blog I read called Jalopnik. Every weekday they have a posting called Nice Price or Crack Pipe where a used car is posted and readers vote on whether it is a good price. This Colt made me instantly think "Crack Pipe!". I think it is a good looking gun overall, but not at the...

$0.06/round is right around retail for a Remington bucket of bullets. If you need .22 and can't find it, I'd go up to $0.07/round, but thats it. I imagine .22 will become increasingly available, assuming nothing odd happens with the presidential succession, nor another Sandy Hook style...

My wife and I just purchased 34 acres in Texas about half way between Houston and Dallas. We got it for a pretty decent price as it was owned by a large group of heirs, not all of whom were good about keeping up with their share of the property taxes. One of the gentlemen felled a bunch of...

Ah, now the offer makes more sense. A pre-ban CZ75B in Mass would carry more value. I'd still say "do the trade" since they aren't making any more of those Hi Powers. The only thing that would make me pause is the condition of the Hi Power... Make sure it is in good enough condition to...

Agreed, $325 is a steal. I bought one used right after Christmas for $400 and thought I did well.

I am living overseas, but was planning to make a large ammo purchase this summer as my wife and daughter are heading home to TX to visit family for a month. The shooting in Orlando did not necessarily advance my timetable. My plans to buy are mainly motivated by the next election. Prices...

Guns can be converted to cash, quickly if need be, if they are priced to sell. I see "NIB" Glocks advertised for $500+ "with extras" on Texas Gun Trader. I'm not paying full retail plus taxes for a used gun, even if it hasn't been fired, simply to avoid having it papered to me. However, I am...

Supply and demand? Is the 9mm version more difficult to come by, or is the 40 plentiful?

Do you have any suppressors for your pistols/rifles? Investing in another can wouldn't be a bad use of the $$$.

It depends on how close to the flood plain you live... Whether you think your home will be flooded, blown away, or both. If you have a two story home that will likely survive both wind and flood, then putting your guns in hiding or in a safe on the second floor is a good idea. Better yet , if...

Gun shows are what you make of them. I go with a short list of things I'm looking for over a range of prices, and I try to bring enough cash so that if I see something interesting while I'm walking around I can make a reasonable offer. I generally ask almost everyone I come across carrying a...

Emergency? If I bug out, I am going to take my CCW and a spare mag plus a full sized pistol and a spare mag, plus my 10/22 take down and maybe 200-500 rounds in sleeves. The reality is that, with a wife with type I diabetes, a small child, and two dogs, we aren't bugging out on foot. The...

Good decision! I have several ARs, several 1911's, and several Glocks. My 1911's haven't given me the level of reliability I would like to have in a home defense gun. I may be a bit conservative, but if something goes bump in the night, I want something that will be easy to chamber and run...

Glock 43 Lightly used for a gentleman walking around a gunshow.

Keep the gen 1 and save up for a gen 4 g19. The gen 1's command a premium if they are in good shape.
