My buddy was thinning out some of his collection, and not really being a plastic kind of guy, offered me a first generation Sigma 9mm cheap. He bought it used last year and had only run about 100 rounds through it. It looks brand new, there's not a blemish anywhere on it. Having heard all the...

I grew up hunting and fishing in the Sierras and always carried a .357 "just in case." I knew their was little chance of actually running into a pissed off bear or a hungry mountain lion, but hey, ya never know. So i just felt alittle better with a six gun strapped on my side. Then it seemed...

I'm doing the 922(r) game on my Yugo. Since i don't want to replace the fixed magazine with a removable mag (unless someone makes a reliable 10 rounder that doesn't look like a 30 rounder), i figured replacing the hammer, sear, disconnector and trigger would be the cheapest way to go. So my...

I was at a local gun store yesterday just browsing around kind of looking for some type of subcompact .40. The owner has been in business for years. The staff is a friendly and knowledgeable bunch. The store was packed with customers. There was an elderly lady asking about pepper spray. "Sure...

I was wonder around a local gun store today, not really looking for anything special, when a big bright sticker on a simi auto caught my attention. So i take a closer. It was a Hi Point 9mm. The sticker read: WARNING:YOU RISK INJURY OR DEATH BY HANDLING THIS FIREARM. I just kind of stood...

What an idiot. Why the hell would anyone give a first time shooter a friggin' 12 gauge with a pistol grip? Next time she says "I'm afraid of guns" she'll have a good reason. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfNbRhjy9HA&mode=related&search=

This would not be the primary ccw weapon. For an occasional "slip it into your pocket" gun for those times when you have to answer natures call while camping, run down to the mailbox or maybe down to the local stop 'n rob to grab some refreshments which of the following guns (only the ones on...

I have a Colt Viper (4" blued) that i inherited from my dad. He bought it nib in 1978. It was his fishing gun for a lot of years. Carried a whole bunch and shot a lot. Mostly his light 148 gr wc reloads. It's in perfect mechanical shape but the blueing is worn a bit. I think it's an aluminum...

After reading TacoMalo's story about his friend Joe i decided to post this story. I have a co-worker that's a big history buff. Especially military history. Mike has more history books than most libraries. One day he was talking to another co-worker, Reggie. I'm not sure how the subject came...

I've been trying to talk my buddy out of his Star Firestar for awhile. He finally broke down and sold it to me yesterday. It's a 9mm with the starvel finish. He bought it from a friend of his dad's. It was one of those "Just in case" guns, bought, stuck in a dresser drawer and never fired. He's...

I have a chance to pick one up in 9mm in the Starvel finish. It's one of those "just in case" guns, bought, had one magazine full run through it, cleaned and stuck up on a shelf in a closet. It's a neat little gun. Anyone have any experience with those guns? Good? Bad? In between?

A few years back i bought an FEG Hi Power (Browning clone, it uses all Browning parts) 9mm. Since i was raised on 1911's and S&W wheelguns, it just felt natural in my hand. It was one of my favorite guns. A couple years ago i let a buddy talk me out of it. He had a Mustang convertible i...

The new American Rifleman came in the mail today. Cover blurb: ELECTION DAY 2006: "This is the opportunity we've been waiting for." -Sarah Brady Need i say more?

...and cut this piece of $#!& Rock Island Commander into about fifty pieces. I bought it nib from a local dealer. The first mag full it failed to go completly into battery three times. I take it back to the dealer. I get it back three weeks later. This time it isn't as bad. It only failed to go...

A recent thread by whatbrick brought back alot of memories about Dad, his guns, our hunting trips, and just plain ole plinkin' sessions. I thought maybe some of might have some good hunting or shooting memories you would like to share. One of my earliest memories is of his old S&W M&P he...

In December of 1980 i bought myself a blued 3" Charter Arms Bulldog as a Christmas present. It cost me $128.45 otd. It was my fishin' gun until i gave it to my dad as a retirement present in the mid '80's. Dad loved that little brute. Between the two of us we must have put a zillion rounds...

A few days after my dad passed away in Jan of '05 mom gave me back the Taurus Model 85 i had bought him for Christmas a few years earlier. The day before his funeral i just felt like i needed to shoot that little gun. I'm not even sure why, maybe i thought it would help ease the pain a little...

I just brought it home a little while ago. It's marked: GIBBS RIFLE 7.62mm R.F.I. 1968 It has a synthetic stock and what looks like a satin nickle finish. I have no idea what the finish is. The bore is nice and shiny and no pitts that i could see. I got the rifle, a scope mount, a 10...

I went to the chiropractor today for my monthly tuneup. Afterwards we were talking and i mentioned our RKBA petition. After i explained what it was about he said bring one by and he would sign it. I keep a supply of petitions in my truck, jeep and my wife's car for just such occasions.
