Who had a Father's Day Shoot?

I'm ready to scale down my carry piece (S&W 4043)and, in general, I've distilled it down to these two, I'm not looking for a pocket pistol, just something smaller in weight and dimensions, and prefer a DAO trigger. I've owned three Glocks in the past, including a G26, but never got used to...

Saw a 2" blue Colt Python today, it had been shot but was otherwise was in good shape. Asking price was $899...good deal or pass?

I have a Marlin Coast to Coast Model 42 (70). It has untold thousands of rounds through it. Over the last few range sessions, I've had multiple failure to fire that have steadily increased and this past weekend it barely shot at all. When I got home I thoroughly stripped and cleaned the...

Hello, Seeking opinions: I'm considering consolidating my ammo/handguns. Currently I have a small revolver (.357) for carry and a full size auto (.40) for the home. I'm thinking of either getting a small .40 for carry (i.e. 4053) or a GP100/Police Service six for the home. I shoot...

After years of reading of them I finally came across one today in a pawn shop. It was the 4" blue with lots of rust on the barrel and cylinder. The trigger was @ 40 lbs-heavy. It looked rough and they wanted $399.00 for it-too much. But I was amazed as to the size and weight of this...

This is a serious question that I have, related to the market conditions that seem to be present. Regarding the huge net profit by EM, I got to thinking about how the gun industry benefits from the anxiety that seems to be tied to the political races. I assert that as a person not in the...

Seems like most of us oscillate with different bullet delivery systems, but I'm considering consolidating to revolvers. Rationale: my current CCW is an SP-101 .357. Other pistol is a S&W auto, 4043 (nightstand). Have had a multitude of autos but never seem to like'em enough to keep from...

Has anyone built and M1 Garand? I've noticed the CMP sells stripped receivers. How difficult would it be? Anymore difficult than building an AR? Labor of love?

Other than what appears to be a rail on the .40 and 9mms, what are the differences between the 24/7 Compact and the Milpro pistols? Are they phasing the Milpro's out? Are there features that make the 24/7 inherently more reliable/better than the older Milpro? Not sure what the differences...

Looking into purchasing a weaponlight for a pistol. What are the better brands and where can I get them online? Thanks, Mike

I saw Die Hard the otherday on HBO and my interest in the Steyr AUG returned. :) I've read chatter about one or two USA manufacturers making them here. Can someone steer me toward a website? Does anyone have one? Cost? Thanks, Mike

Hello, I'm considering upgrading my carry caliber to the 10mm. Does anyone have any thoughts good/poor on this model? Thanks, mike

Thinking of acquiring a M1 Garand from the CMP. Please educate me on the finer differences in the Rack Grade v. Field Grade. I'm not looking for a rifle to be a National Match quality rifle, just a rifle that is a piece of history that will shoot and shoot. How many rounds could I expect to...

Hello, When attempting to load my 870 Express at the range, I notice my thumb intermittantly getting hung up on the loading gate/tab when inserting a shell. I have always had a bit of an issue with this, but the last I went to the range my thumb got pinched good. I'm not over inserting my...

While at the range today I struck up a conversation with a gentleman shooting several stalls down from me. He went back to his box and came back with what I thought was a Colt Woodsman on steriods. He asked if I wanted to see a "rare" gun. He said it was called a "Merrill" and was made by...

I just want to say that I went to the range on Saturday. I began by shooting my 70's Coast-to-Coast Marlin .22 autoloading rifle, followed by some zen 870 shotgunning, 9mm S&W, and Ruger .357. I ended the visit by shooting the Marlin once again. My self-commitment to leave in 10 minutes once...

I guess because one can, but when hefting my 870 without the extension on it just seems to balance better-for me. I'm not opposed to the extension, but it seems like it dips into discussions related to capacity and everyone seems to have an opinion on that. So my question to all is, is...

I happened upon a 6946 (used) just over a year ago. I really like this pistol. Over 1K rounds that I've put through it have been accurate, jam free, and easily controlable and concealable. The co-worker I acquired it through got it from another co-worker who is now jonesing for it back. He...

Did anyone see this? Yesterday I was browsing DISH Network and landed on the "Men's Channel." I caught the last half of the show with a guy shooting a Kimber .45 with the .460 Rowland Conversion kit on it and comparing it to the .45ACP. The man (I believe was Mr. Rowland) was giggling after...
