    Turk vs Turk (Stoegar vs Canik55)

    I'm hoping someone has experience with both these handguns as I'd like a comparison. They are pretty similar. Both are priced similarly. Both are made in ISO9001 certified factories in Turkey. Both have solid pedigrees (Beretta vs CZ). The two I'm looking at are the Cougar 9mm...

    Help determining value of Civil War NCO Sword

    I have in my position a sword from the American Civil War. It's what I believe to be an M1840 NCO sword made by Collins & Co. My google-fu has brought me to some sites that say that very few were made (around 800) but I've seen values all over the map. It's condition is hard to describe...

    Walther PPX vs S&W SD9VE vs CZ P07 Duty

    These three seem to be pretty close in comparison when you look at features, size, and price. All come with 2 16-17 round mags. All look similarly dimensionally. Has anyone had any experience (hands on and/or shooting) with these? Are any of these made in the USA? SD9VE Pros- Lowest...

    3" .357 with available aftermarket front sights

    Hi all, I'm looking for a 3" or so .357 revolver. Problem is, is that most 3" revolvers have fixed sights. My eyesight isn't very good so I typically have issues acquiring the front sight quickly. I'm hoping that replacing the stock front sight with a night sight or a big dot sight might...

    Opinions? Most Accurate C&R

    So what does everyone think is the most accurate C&R rifle? I didn't want to make a poll because there are so many to list and my brain certainly can't remember them all. Personally I think it's the Swiss K31. But I hear that the Sako m39 and the Swedish Mauser is up there also. Any other...

    Where to buy: 147gr 9mm GoldDot HPs?

    I'm looking for a source for some 147gr standard pressure GoldDots. Didn't they used to sell these in 100 round boxes for law enforcement only. I used to have an online source for them, but quickly lost it. Any help would be appreciated!

    The 870's Thin Trigger

    I was never really into shotguns until my friend let me shoot his 870. It's a lot of fun and I'm considering getting one for myself. I loved everything about his 870 (Express with 20" smooth bore w/ RS) EXCEPT the trigger. It was woefully thin and didn't have a nice feel to it. It made...

    Wow! Grips really do make a huge difference!

    I bought a Mk.III BHP a month or so ago, and I've been out only a handful of times to shoot it. Right when I bought it, I mistakenly bought a set of inexpensive Cocobolo grips as I wanted to improve my BHPs appearance. I had been shooting with it, and wasn't shooting as well as my old Sig...

    Practice Ammo Comparison (9mm)

    So I'm looking to buy 1k of 9mm for practice. I've looked around and have found some decent deals. I'm curious which you think would be better ammo? Right now I'm between S&B 115 grain and Georgia Arms "Canned Heat" 115 grain. I can get the S&B shipped to my door for $7 less than the...

    I have a set of inexpensive Cocobolo wood grips on my Browning HiPower. I was wondering whether I should remove the grips when cleaning my handgun? This is the first time I have put anything wooden on any of my firearms. I typically use CLP for all my jobs. Thanks.

    Another Versus Thread (I know I know...)

    (Ok, I know I do this FAR too often. I appologize that I'm all over the place with stuff like this. Thanks for humoring me again.) OK, so if you were given the option of either: a) Browning Hi Power Mk.III, used in excellent condition. Non-adjustable sights and just basic. -OR- b)...
