Is anybody familiar with Guns and Hunting, a magazine that was published (at least) in the 1960's? I picked up a few old issues of this magazine from the late '60s, but I am not familiar with it. It looks like it was published by Maco Publishing Company, Inc. out of New York City. Anybody...

If you don't like striker-fired guns, then it seems the P30 would be the only way to go. I, however, like striker-fired guns, and I have extensively shot the VP9. I have found it to be completely reliable, very accurate and extremely enjoyable to shoot. I recommend this pistol without...

I guess I am a little confused. If I understand the information from the company, these Saiga rifles manufactured by Concern Kalashnikov. They are imported by RWC Group LLC, the exclusive importer of Kalashnikov products into the US and sold as factory rifles, not converted. That is why I...

So, do you think the US importer is taking Kalashnikov receivers that accept standard AK mags, and then just building it out with US parts to meet 922(r) requirements? Or is there something else that can/is being done to import legally? Since Kalashnikov is putting their name on things, I...

I'm not that familiar with the Saiga conversions, but it is my understanding that until now to use AK magazines in a Saiga rifle, there was a fair amount of work involved. Is this accurate? If so, these new rifles seem to change things a bit. It looks like the basic IZ132 will now have...

For what it is worth, there are two points that I'd like to bring up: 1. The incident did not happen in Kennesaw. It happened in unincorporated Cobb County. It has a Kennesaw mailing address, but the gun law of the city does not apply at the incident location. 2. Cobb County Police...

Thanks for all of the responses. Midwest - I talked to KY Senator Jared Carpenter this evening. He said SB 106 did pass and the state police issue the short term/emergency permit. Thanks again, Richard

My Google skills seem to be failing me. I hope someone here can set me straight. I've been told that some states automatically grant a concealed weapon permit to victims of domestic violence. Does anyone know if this is true, and if so what state(s)? Links would help also. Thanks...

Well, I guess Ruger is releasing the SR45 pistol after all. Information on the new pistol here and here. What's everyone think? 10+1 rounds sounds good to me.

Not sure, but I think the list is tightly held by the NSSF and they charge for it. -Richard

Don't hold your breath on the Charter Arms Rimless Revolver. The CARR has been more vaporware than reality, I'm afraid. The last bit of information I got from Charter is that the project is on the back burner with no shipping date currently anticipated. I detail the whole bit here: Dude...

For what it's worth, criminals know the law and many of them purposely stay away from Kennesaw. I was a Kennesaw cop when I still lived in Georgia, and on more than one occassion I arrested someone who stated they had been warned to stay out of "The 'Saw" by other criminals while in prison...

According to Sig, the mods are more than just a grip swap: http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2010/01/25/more-information-on-the-sig-p226229-e2-pistols/ FWIW, the new E2 pistols really feel nice in the hand! --Richard

More information on the Raging Judge Magnum, as well as photos from SHOT are here: http://www.gunsholstersandgear.com/2010/01/22/taurus-raging-judge-magnum/

Sig has updated the P226 and P229 pistols, offering them as an "E2" model with reduced grips, new texture, short trigger, etc. Pretty cool, IMHO. I love my P226, but it really is too big for my hand. One of these will be just the ticket, I think...
