I am looking for a J frame and have an opportunity to purchase a 438 at a reasonable price. I was trying to find out some information on them but the sources I perused have conflicting information. Some state that the barrel and cylinder is made of carbon steel while others claim stainless...

I have 1,000 rds of Federal Lightning and 1,000 rds of M22 Winchester. I have shot the Federal with decent results but have not shot the M22s. I am going to sell one of the two brands to purchase a holster for a newly acquired pistol. I want to keep the better brand for myself. So, in...

I have seen this particular of Canik on a couple different sites and it really intrigues me. I have tried to find them for sale in the US to no avail. I know that Canik offers several similar models (even through Tristar) but this is the exact model I am looking for. So, in short, has anyone...

I just purchased a NIB 2014 P-07 manufactured in Feb. 2014. I have read about the amazing trigger on this gun but I find the DA to be ok. While somewhat smooth (and it should smooth out even more with use) the trigger has considerable stacking before it breaks. Is this normal? BTW, this is...

I only lack a good AR 15 to complete the collection I want and am looking to obtain one. I am looking to get a good entry level AR and possibly more after that. Anyhow, I have a few questions: 1. Is anyone familiar with this AR 15? Is this a good rifle? For this price...

Tiers of Quality When I hear or read of gun manufacturers of semi-autos in my mind I automatically lump them (maybe foolishly) into a group quality wise. I don't consider this gun snobbery as all funtioning, reliable, and safe guns is better that a stick. But, OTOH, some guns are better...

I was in a LGS looking for a Bersa Thunder 9HC Pro and during casual conversation the fellow behind the counter pulled out one of his personal firearms he said was for sale. It was a S&W Model 66 with a 3" barrel and Hogue grips. He said it was a .38 Special and he wanted $375 for it. I...

I over the past year have acquired two Marlin model 60s. I have decided to take up small game hunting and need a good, rugged scope which will not break the bank. I noticed Walmart has some CenterPoints for around $70. Are they any good? If not, any suggestions? Also, what should I look for...

I have numerous bulk boxes of .22 LR ammo and I need to pack one box in a bug out bag. Brands of concern are Federal, Winchester, and Remington. I need to pick a single box and am wondering which of the three are the best. I don't have a load of experience to discern between the three. As...

Today my wife and I went to a gun show and we purchased a S&W 642 for her to carry. I was trying the trigger dry firing it and it was working ok. Switched it to the left hand and something didn't seem right while dry firing. The gun would cycle and the firing pin would protrude but the...

My wife and I went to a gun show yesterday. Among other things we were looking for a small revolver as her CCW in .38 Special/.357 Magnum. We looked at S&Ws, Rugers, Tauruses, and other various inferior makes and she was always drawn to the Tauruses. I know that Taurus semi-autos have a...

All the Walmarts around me sell WWB 115 gr. FMJ and 147 gr. JHP along with Remington 115 gr. FMJ and 115 gr. JHP but nothing in 124 gr. Why no 124 gr.? :confused:

I have been looking for a Walther P99AS for around $500 - $550 to no avail. Internet stores that do have them are listed over $600. Box stores even more. That is stretching my budget. I have noted that the Magnum Research MR9 (which sells for less) is a clone of the P99AS. I am wondering...

I am interested in maybe acquiring a Walther P99AS. I was wondering if there was a site which has them in stock that I am not aware of for around $500 +/- a few bucks. Any input is much appreciated. Thanks. ;)

Recently I replaced my Kel Tec P3AT with a Kel Tec PF9 to be my main warm weather EDC. After replacing the extractor and extractor spring KT sent me this little pistol has been utterly flawless. :) Being a firm believer in "one is none, two is one" and the PF9 reputation of going down I went...

I had been wanting to get Bersa HC 9 a few months ago. Then in April I got to shoot my NRA Instructor's 9 UC for a class to get my CCW permit. I fell in love. Then I wanted a 9 UC. Badly. Since then I bought a second Stoeger Cougar 8000 F for I knew how they fired and loved them. Great guns them...

I have been acquiring HD loads for all my weapons and all are Golden Saber. Last night I got the last caliber I needed (.38) which was for my wife's S&W 15-3. 125gr +P. Then this morning a thought struck me. :o Will the 15-3 handle this load safely? Any info is much appreciated. TIA :D

Today I was in a LGS looking for a Marlin 60 when the owner showed me two Hungarian Makarovs. I have been looking for a second ccw weapon and to state I wasn't tempted would be a lie. The two guns were in great shape, felt good in the hand, and pointed really nice. But then he said I could...

I am looking into getting an affordable 22 rifle. I have narrowed it down to the Marlin and Ruger. The gun will be utilized for plinking and small game. I would like it to be accurate , reliable, and easy to use. Please, from you rifle aficionados out there, please give me some advice and...

switch from the polymer guide rod to the metal one? I am watching an auction on a Cougar 8000 F and the guy stated he bought the Cougar new in 2009 and it has a polymer guide rod. I bought mine mid Feb. this year and it has a metal guide rod. Just curious when Stoeger made the switch...
