Well. I came home from the shop today with a New (to me anyway) Kimber Compact Stainless. The gun had been sitting there for a while and looks to be in immaculate condition except for needing to be cleaned due to dust buildup. I do have a couple of questions though. THis is my first 1911 with...

Ok. I went into my local shop to day and decided I was going to leave with a used but very nice Kimber Compact today. After making the deal i handed the clerk my license and my pistol permit since my license has my old address on it. Now, for the past three years I have been buying guns from...

Well, thanks to another board member, thanks poe, I got one of the guns I have been after for a while. I came home with a 9mm 2 inch SP101 and 20 moonclips. I cant wait to get this thing to the range tomorrow and try it out. My question is, what can I do to improve the trigger? It is a...

Well.....i did it. I came home with my first .380 tonight. I had been thinking about getting a cz83 for a while but when i swung by the shop on the way home i got to looking at something else. It seemed to fit my hand like a glove, i knew the controls well, and it seemed VERY well put together...

I just picked up a 3rd Gen Detective Special. I got it for $300. It has some holster wear but I think I am going to have it refinished anyway. I have a couple of questions. The serial is S441xx Can anyone tell me when this was made. Under the serial is the letter W. Anyone know what...

I was thinking of ordering me a couple of pairs of these bt I have one question. How do the sizes on these run? I ask this because depending on the cut and fit i can wear any size wasit from a 38 to a 44. I can imagine that the length will be the same at 34 but i am not sure there either. My...

Well.....i did it. I knew i would it was just a matter of time. I visited my local shop today and walked out with a new S&W 1911. I got it for $740 with three Wilson Combat mags. This was a little unusual i thought since i was pretty sure it only came with 2. Not sure. Anyway....I can't...

After spending part of my day off today browsing through my two local gun shops i realized why more and more people, including myself, are turning to the internet to buy their firearms. They were so overpriced as to not even be funny. I can deal with that if they are willing to haggle a little...

Has anyone heard anything more about the CZ RAMI? The last i heard was that it was supposed to be imported sometime this year. I did a search through the forums but no one has posted anything recently. If i can get this in 9mm i will be VERY happy. Here is some linkage for those that havent...

I just picked up a H&K USP Compact Stainless in .40S&W at a good price and was wondering something. I have read before that a .357 sig barrel was available for this gun. Is that all that will need to be changed? I assume so since the .357 sig is just a necked down .40 And what can I expect to...

Could someone give me the expected price for a used but in good condition Ruger sp101 in .22lr with a 4 inch barrel with a set of hogue rubber grips?

I am about to start up a website devoted strictly to revolvers and had a question. What would you guys like to see in such a site and do you have any suggestions? I am going to start out simple with a few reviews and the like but I am trying to decide if I want to do a revolver forum with...

I just traded for a S&W Model 65-5 with a 3" bbl. My questions is this. Is this gun safe to carry hammer down on a loaded chamber? I only ask because I have never owned one with the hammer mounted firing pin. Does this has the same type of trigger safety that a frame mounte pin would, where...

I will be the proud new owner of a M65-5 with 3" bbl in a few days and have a question. What is the best way to carry a K-frame with that size barrel? I plan on using it as my daily carry if I can figure out how comfortably. I am a pretty big guy, 6'5" 250. I was thinking of a pancake...

Well. I was walking around my local shop and guess what followed me home. I ended up buying a Ruger sp101 in .22lr I only have one word... WOW This gun shoots so much better than I do it isn't even funny. I was hitting the 10ring more than I have with any other gun I own....including my...

I am looking for a new revolver. I want a Colt. Plain and simple, right? Wrong. There are only two gun shops in Huntsville and you cant expect to get a deal at either of them. One has a Python in stainless 4" but is wanting $900 for it used. They also have several lawmen and detective specials...

As you may know from my previous post i ordered a CZ-75B dual tone and it finally arrrived on Teusday. It looks FANTASTIC and seems to shoot fine. The onyl real glitch I had was that it seemd to have a hard time chambering some winchester white box ammo. It never actually jammed but you could...

Well. I just left my local shop and orderd me a brand new CZ-75b Two tone. I cant wait. They said it should be here middle of the week. I do have a question. Does anyone know how durable the finishes are on these. I know the black polycoat is tough since I already have a 75bd in that but how is...

Ok. I dont understand this at all. When I bought my used Charles Daly I immediately went to the range and put 25 through it. Everything went perfect. Couldnt ask for a better shooting gun. Now I went last night and everything went to hell. I was using the same ammo.....Winchester White Box...

Has anyone here ever shot any specialty ammunition such as tracers or incendiary cartridges? I see them for sale from time to time and have always thought it would be fun at the range to put as the last round in a magazine. Anythoughts on these or where to buy and any risks to modern polymer...
