    Happy endings aren't just in Hollywood

    I just thought that I'd share the good news. My beloved second generation Glock 19 was stolen from my home over two years ago while I was working the night shift, and those who've been through similar circumstances will understand the emptiness I felt. It was rather like having one of your...

    Looking for a single action revolver

    Forgive my ignorance, but I'm not familiar with all the various makes and models of single action revolvers other than the old model Vaquero I already own. Is there a good quality SA made today that has a transfer bar and makes the appropriate four clicks?

    Have Colt firearms significantly increased in value?

    I'm going through some moderate financial difficulties and as a consequence am beginning to entertain the necessity (I hope it won't come to that, however) of parting with a portion of my collection, among them some real beauties like my Colt Python, Model 1991A1 Stainless, and my Colt Police...

    Winchester Model 94 Trapper - need help!

    I disassembled my rifle several weeks ago in order to install a large loop lever I'd purchased. Everything went well until I attempted to reassemble, that's when I discovered that somehow I must've boogered up the hole threads for the carrier screw because it wouldn't tighten. I tried and tried...

    Another preventable tragedy and questions about it's consequences

    Last weekend a woman went out drinking and dancing with her husband whom she loved and adored. Later that evening - in a moment of drama, the wife snatched up one of her husband's pistols, dropped the magazine, and attempted to feign shooting herself in the side of the temple. However the...

    News flash! Pro-gun woman found in MD!

    I took a woman I've been dating to the range yesterday for her first ever shooting experience and she loved every minute of it. She'd been wanting to go for weeks and had literally drooled over my modest collection of firearms, taking quite a fancy to my Smith & Wesson Model 36. However, strange...

    Gun Control - the beginning

    I've come into possession of a Newsweek magazine from June 24, 1968 which centers on the discussion of gun control. I've scanned in the pages from the article if anyone is interested. Below is the cover.

    Question for Beretta Stampede owners

    Okay, I actually have three questions. :o First, I know that it has the half-cock notch which replicates the classic Colt action, but does it make that wonderful "click-click-clickety-click" sound when you cock it completely? Secondly, which finish do you prefer - the charcoal blue or the...

    Need help deciding, input welcome!

    Okay guys, help me out. Here's my dilemma... I attend a gun show yesterday and happened across a sweet, near mint condition, matte stainless steel Colt Python with original box. (I've lusted after one for years) The barrel was clean, the lock up tight, no endshake, the forcing cone fine...

    Home invaded - by civil servants!

    I live in a townhouse condominium with one neighbor above me. This neighbor recently rented out her unit and the tenant called the local cable company to install high speed internet access to her son's bedroom. However the installer, while manuvering through the crawlspace above the ceiling...

    Civility strained to the breaking point by UPS Store

    I went to ship my Glock 36 back to the factory today and since the service representative at Glock had recommended that I transport the gun to them via UPS Next Day Air, I dutifully boxed up the pistol, securely taped the parcel, and filled out the delivery slip so that by the time I entered the...

    Glock 36 problem

    (Sigh) Okay....so I finally get to pick up the Glock 36 I purchased at a gun show nearly two weeks ago and everything looks good. I take it home and am crossing my fingers at this point because I note that the original owner purchased it in December of 2002 (the sales receipt was inside the...

    Anyone else do this?

    Because of the snow I decided to stay in today and spent quite a while going through the gun safe ~ handling/fondling all of the hardware and renewing some old love affairs along the way. I also went through the sales receipts for each, recalling how, why, and when I'd bought them and lazily...

    Glock denies any recall

    I contacted Glock today to find out if my Model 19 were ever part of the Great Recall of 1992 yet everyone I spoke to denied that such a recall had ever taken place and acted as if I had a hole in my head. I went through three departments, from Customer Service to Technical Services - same...

    I'm looking around for a good holster for my Glock 19, does anyone have some suggestions?

    Dumb question, I'm sure, but...

    In tactical terms, what exactly is a "Mozambique"? :confused:

    Amazing Glock - modification?

    If someone has a website or page where they can host an MPEG for me, I have one of what appears to be an ordinary Glock going full auto. It looks for all the world like an ordinary fifteen-rounder spitting lead rapid fire, because it has no extended magazine or other modifications. Really...

    Glock 2004 Annual (remark made therein)

    There is an article in the 2004 Glock Annual entitled "Glock tames the wilds" and in it the author makes the follow remarks: "However I wouldn't feel undergunned with a 9x19 GLOCK, and I'll tell you why. Back in the 1970s when many US law enforcement agencies began switching over to 9x19...

    9x19 Glock slides w/ police markings - available?

    I'd love to have one of those Glock 19 slides from a police trade-in, complete with the department markings. Does anyone know where one might be purchased?

    Glock magazines, how long do they last?

    I have two fifteen rounders which came with my pre-ban Glock 19 when I purchased it this past summer. That would make them ten years old at the very least. I don't know whether the previous owner kept them loaded or not, though the gun looks as if it hasn't seen much use. I've read elsewhere...
