    Gun Dealers and taking ID Photocopies?

    Is it a legal requirement by either ATF or the state of California for gun dealers to take a photocopy of your ID? All the gun dealers I've bought from require a photocopy of your ID, but is this a store policy or an actual law that a photographic copy be taken and that simply recording the...

    Is it possible to get brand new German or Swiss-made SIG pistols still?

    Disappointed to see most all of them are either half-way or entirely made here now.....

    What is the point of the M & P anyway?

    With the Glock and P99 being proven, reliable, accurate designs for much longer time and with arguably better build quality, what does the M & P really do any better or differently? Can S & W even build something to the reliability level of either of those guns, considering the dud they made...

    Handgun Melting Point Laws

    I have read online that several states have these. A lot of people say it is just a legal ruse to disarm Americans. In trying to be fair and give them some kind of merit for this kind of a law, is there any kind of evidence that proves that ordinary guns (whether inexpensive or expensive) melt...

    John Browning's Move to Europe

    Can anyone clarify for me why Browning went to Belgium? I know he had many of his guns made there, but Wikipedia didn't say much on this subject. I also notice he lived until death there in Liege. Did he lose his patriotism and like Europe better than the U.S.? Or was his purpose staying...

    Can anyone help me identify these rifles and rifle features seen on Miami Vice?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP1ApmPOKUE Pause the video at these time intervals and full-screen them to see: 1. 0:13 - This is a PSG-1, right? It's pretty dark and hard to tell... 2. 0:40 - What M-4 model is this: A1, A2...? Why is the barrel shroud trapezoidal with circular holes in it...

    Why did Smith & Wesson pick MA as their home state, considering...

    ...how MA is overwhelmingly anti-gun?

    Massad Ayoob

    I hear this guy's a real good gun issue writer. But curious, where was he born? Sounds a bit foreign.

    Legal ownership of guns when in the presence of police help

    1. When pulled over for a traffic stop does one have to tell the police if they have weapons in their car? What if they refuse to answer or lie? Is it a crime to do either? What if you have weapons in the car but they are in the trunk which are considered out of plain sight for the purpose of...

    Having a hard time with my aiming/hold

    I am told to keep my arms straight when shooting hanguns but find it uncomfortable because I have long arms. It is actually extremely uncomfortable. Are there any alternatives. Must I keep them totally straight to be accurate or absorb recoil as I'm chastised by range people and a cop who'd...

    Why doesn't the .45 look more powerful than the 9mm on paper?

    According to these data .45 is only a few foot pounds stronger than 9mm. If that is so why is .45 regarded as the more powerful "manlier" caliber?? :confused: .45 ACP Ballistic performance Bullet weight/type Velocity Energy 165 gr JHP 1060 ft/s (~323 m/s) 378 ft·lbf (~514 J) 185 gr JHP 950...

    The P99 and caliber conversions

    I have been told to buy a P99 in .40 not 9mm because the .40 can supposedly convert into .357 Sig and 9mm. If this is true is it a thicker outside diameter 9mm barrel than the one in the factory 9mm version? Thinking that the factory 9mm has a smaller hole in the slide since 9mm is a smaller...

    Rifles with Integral Red Dot Sights

    I don't remember the brands or models of these rifles but I have seen some that come with integral red dot sights. I don't believe they had open sights as well. So I wonder, if the battery in the red dot sight dies, how do you aim the gun??

    Why did Sonny Crockett stop carrying a 220?

    After Season 1 Episode 1 he switched to the infamously unreliable Bren Ten?! The gun he carried was (and still today is) world class.

    What kind of pistol is this?

    http://graphixgroup.com/buydirect/images/3d_memorabilia/movies/scarface/scarface2032_13.jpg I guess that is some sort of promotional setup from the Scarface movie. Did it actually come with a real gun though? What kind is it?

    Beretta PX4 Storm/Smith and Wesson M&P?

    Are these 2 guns essentially the same design? Perhaps another attempt of Smith and Wesson at reverse-engineering? Say like how they copied the Glock design and called it a 'Sigma'? :barf: :mad: If I am mistaken and they are both unique guns, which is better? How are they any different?
