    KelTec P17

    Stopped by the LGS on the way home from work today and a P17 caught my eye. First one I've seen in person, looked interesting. Anybody here have any experience with one? The price seems pretty reasonable, thought it might make an ok plinker. Any and all thoughts and/or opiions appreciated.

    To trade or not to trade.......

    Recently posted my Diamondback DB10 for sale on Armslist. Have a trade offer I'm considering, thought I would get some opinions from the members here. My gun: Diamondback DB10 16" barrel, 3 mags and a Shepherd P-2 scope. Less than 40 rounds fired, just enough function check and get it on paper...

    Decisions, decisions (another "what to buy" thread)

    (Another) Beretta 81 question........

    Considering spending a bit of my Xmas bonus on a Beretta 81, trying to decide between the plain 81 or the 81BB. Is there enough of a difference to matter? It will be primarily a range toy/plinker, I have other handguns for carry/defense. All opinions welcome.

    Went to the gun show this weekend........

    And they got me again. I picked up two .22 rifles, a Marlin Model 80 and a Glenfield Model 60. Pic is in the "Last Gun You Bought" thread. This show was both better and worse than last few. The bad: Quite a few empty tables, and that's with one section of the building not even set up. I would...

    Question about a Hi Power.......

    Looking at what appears to be a Browning Hi Power 9mm. The serial number (on the front of the the grip frame and the barrel) put year of production at 1985. Now for the odd part. Aside from the serial numbers on the frame and barrel, and a couple of small proof marks on the side of the trigger...

    Heading to Vegas...

    Like the title says, I'm heading to Vegas with the wife and daughter. Looking for suggestions on gun shops or pawn shops with gun selections to visit, etc. I did notice that the Crossroads of the West gun show will be in town while I am there, curious to know if any of you have visited it in...

    1944 1911A1

    My brother just traded his Kahr CM9 for this WW2 era Colt. It was brought home by my cousin's father-in-law, who was a fighter pilot in the South Pacific. He did advise our cousin of the disparity in value between the two pistols, but she didn't care. She has no children to pass it to and she...

    Rossi Plinker .22 - Good, Bad, Ugly?

    Ran across a Rossi Plinker .22 for sale today at a reasonable price. It's the later model with the matte finish and a 4" barrel, and seems to be in good condition with no obvious flaws. Anyone here have experience with one of these? Trying to decide if I should lay my hard earned cash out for...

    Carcano stock question....

    Just picked up a Carcano 1891 TS for $20 at a yard sale. Bubba has had his hands on this one, and the stock is in sad shape. I've been looking around for a stock and have seen a few for the M38 version and I am wondering if my 1891 will fit into an M38 stock. This is going to be a truck...

    A Pig in a Poke.....

    I bought a .22 revolver this morning sight unseen. I don't even know what brand or model it is, only that it holds 9 rounds, the cylinder has to be removed for loading/unloading, and the barrel is ~ 6 inches long. Sounds kind of like an old H&R 922, but I won't know for sure until tomorrow. I...

    Another new shooter thread.....

    My daughter brought home a few friends from college this last weekend, and one of the things she wanted to do was go out shooting. One of her friends is from Chicago and has never fired a gun before, and she wanted a chance to try it. So we brought out a couple of 22 rifles, a couple of 22...

    Bye, Bye, Hunting Rifle.........

    At Least For This Season....... Ok, took my daughter out shooting this last weekend, getting some practice in before rifle season. Figured she would be using my Savage Axis in .223, mainly due to the relatively light recoil. We set up and started shooting, but she was having no luck...

    Went to the gun show this weekend........

    And it actually wasn't too bad. No screaming mobs, no mile long line to get in. The ammo was picked over fairly early on, and there were a few people who were out of their minds on primers and ammo, but overall prices were within reason. AR's were nearly at pre-panic prices, and not many...
