    A New Walther CCP

    I almost bought a first gen. CCP a few months ago. It was in decent shape, priced around $350, box and mags. But when the sales guy got the box out the little tool to disassemble the slide wasn't in there. Some of the complaints about them cameback to me and I declined the sale. It was sold a...

    Mauser M20 .22LR

    I found 2 Youtube videos about this pistol, one by GSG guns in German. It does seem to be a variant of the Firefly and it looks like the same mag. The other video was from an owner that was made in 2022. I've seen Firefly mags listed as low as $19.99. You could always buy one and try it out.

    Curio & Relic Carry Piece

    I've carried a CZ 82, Russian Makarov, FEG Pa63, and a CZmodel 70 in the past. That was mostly over 20 years ago, when all those pistols were under $200 and ammo was cheaper. I never carried any of them until I had put them through their paces at a range. I felt like I really needed to be sure...

    Finnish Lahti questions

    Sorry I don't have any helpful info for you but I did own a Lahti a number of years ago(about 12 or 13 years). Mine was marked as a Danish police gun, if I remember right. It was a heavy pistol but a great shooter. I got it at a gun show for about $350. Right after I traded it off prices started...

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Yesterday I picked up a good used M&P Bodyguard 380. It's the non laser model, came with the box, soft case, paper work and both mags. I wish I could find out who traded it in. So often I buy a used gun and it's dry and dirty. This one was clean as a whistle with fresh oil on the rails. It's...

    22mag reliability

    I've shot lots of 22lr over the years and had lots of duds, it's just expected with that round. It's also why I would not feel safe carrying it, I've seen some 22mag revolvers at the stores recently. I don't have as much experience with them. Is 22 mag any more reliable than 22lr? It seems like...

    How to spot an online auction scammer

    I was on Gunbroker when it started and got winning bids from someone who claimed that her husband got drunk and made the bids and she wouldn't be paying for his mistake. It's been going on a long time. I look at Armslist for local trades. There's a couple Facebook pages too. But I don't do...

    Which one??

    The KelTec is a nice pistol and you will enjoy it. The first couple hundred rounds you shoot should be Mini Mags. They will break in the gun nicely. Stay with good high velocity after that and you shouldn't have any problems. Not just the most expensive stuff, just high velocity ammo from good...

    Taurus "Deputy" ?

    I had a Gaucho in 357 back in the day. I mostly shot 38spl in it and it was a reliable, accurate shooter. I don't remember any coming back in to the gun shop for repairs. I hope they make a short barrel model with bird's head grips.

    CZ 75 D PCR compact v. Bersa TPR9c 9mm - your exp/opinion of either or both please

    I've owned and shot both. I have to agree that CZ is a much nicer pistol, but I wouldn't pass up a good deal on a Bersa. Actually, the Bersa's tend to be much more affordable than the CZ's and mine have been perfectly reliable. Of the two, CZ has a better trigger. CZ has a much better supply...

    Can someone help

    I Ilive in Missouri, in a town near the Kansas and Oklahoma borders. I've seen guys in a local gun shop make deals with the store. As soon as they show the out of state license, the guys let them know it will need to be shipped to their home state. The shop knows some of the near by shops in...

    If you could have only one pistol?

    I agree withwhat others have said, there's no perfect one and only pistol, and I think people start these kind of things just to post pics of personal favorites. Frankly I read them to see all the cool guns that you guys have and feel so fond of. As I age and find myself in some health issues...

    Grendal P30 22mag

    I know the P30 has a certain collectable quality to it with some of the rimfire guys. I know it's been out of production for awhile too. A local store took one in on consignment recently. I saw it but didn't look it over too closely. It looks good, has a low serial number. The owner is asking...

    Email from S&W

    If it's a DA/SA Schofield type revolver, can I start a "go fund me" page here to finance it. I don't think they could put out something like that today except at a premium price.

    Are you stocked up for 2024

    I shoot 9mm and 22 mostly. I stocked up in both around the pandemic and still have most of it. I've retired but have had medical issues that have kept me from the range. I have a fair amount of .380 too, though I've sold my 380 pistols. But if we have a shortage, I will probably offer that to...

    No more gun shows for me

    I went to our local show about 2 months ago. It's in a smaller building and there aren't as many dealers anymore. I go to sell things I don't want anymore. The local shops tend to really low ball you on trade ins. I can sell at the show and get a better price on a Saturday morning, then go to a...

    380 vs 9mm For A New 115pd Shooter

    Last year I was in a gun store with a family working through their daughter going to college and what she needed to take with her for self defense. After lots of looking and handling various pistols she picked a Sig P365 in 380. It's what fit her hand best and seemed to be what she felt...
