Nice little revolver. Please educate me on the handgun procurement process, if you are in France.

That exact question is the subject of a lawsuit recently filed by the CRPA. It also addresses the very high fees, considerable delays, and other issues utilized by several LE agencies as a way to discourage citizens from obtaining .gov permission to exercise a constitutional right...

Lots of solid info has been listed, especially about driving. As a lifelong Californian who frequently travels with multiple firearms, my best suggestions are to AVOID any encounters with police, and know about laws specific to what firearms are prohibited. The best possible encounter with ANY...

I have three Kimber products; one is an “officer”-sized model with an aluminum frame that is meant for daily carry and is over ten years old. The other two are limited edition “SIS” pistols named after a famed LAPD detective unit known for taking care of business. I acquired both from a member...

I’ve been collecting 1911 OTC clones (OTC = Other Than Colt) since the early 1980’s, and have found some interesting pieces. Some are better than others, but they all are welcome in our reference collection. Here is a un-fired, NIB Norinco that we are going to start using very soon:

I’m happy to say all of my NHC’s have worked 100% out of the bag, but I certainly expect them to considering the investment. Very true that you can spend considerably less and get something that basically works 100%. I very much like examples such as Norinco, Tisas, Rock Island, Charles Daly...

To each his own. Whatever works is whatever works.

Why not simply get a new one?

I would agree. I do not use “cheap” ammunition in ours, unless you count 9mm European ball such as S&B in that. That stuff actually works quite well. I will NEVER use (or even try) steel-cased Russian ammunition it it, as I save that for Glocks and beater 1911’s, etc. My reloads are assembled...

I’m one who actually gets a fair amount of use out of it, with both the 9mm & .38/.357 cylinders. I’ve put about 2,500+ .38, 500 .357, and a whole lot more 9mm through it in the last year, and so far it has been 100%. Now, I will say that I keep the face of the cylinder very clean because of...

I got tired of dealing with new firearms that had lots of problems. So far, I have been very pleased with this:

Here is a 3”(?) 586 made for a Brazilian police contract that was never delivered.

No, just no. The factory shouldn’t be pinching these butt nuggets in the outgoing shipping basket. Hoping to eventually get something worth your hard-earned money by sending it back even once is totally unacceptable considering what you paid for it.

As to the ending of the NFA and GCA OF 1968: Respectfully, I do not see that happening anytime soon, at least not in my lifetime. That case would have to slowly wind its way up to The Eunuchs of SCOTUS, after having to go through a likely gauntlet of lower court shenanigan, as illustrated by...

Starting to sound like the way California is headed. We currently are allowed to do a “family transfer” within certain thresholds, but that definition is narrow, and must by law be reported. I see the whole situation with National gun shows and sales eventually going the same as California, in...

A comforting notion to his family might be that over 350 people who likely never met him in person took time to send their best wishes, and remembrances of the helpful insight he offered. That is huge; it is a part of the spirit that makes America such a special place, and to know that there are...

Skribs, that is EXACTLY how I evaluate what given load I may use.

You have done very well! The more I fire our 625, the smoother it gets.

I have had occasion to put a bit over three hundred rounds down-range, mostly from field positions from two examples. Both functioned 100% and seemed to be very accurate. If I were in the market for an AR-type .308 semi, it would be my first choice.
