GUNMAGWAREHOUSE just e-mailed me some info on a possible Glock Carbine Rifle. https://gunmagwarehouse.com/blog/glock-rifle-patent/?goal=0_0d355b7f6d-9a0a266475-429341932&mc_cid=9a0a266475&mc_eid=6ddfbd884f The article by Stephanie Kimmell credits a German Gun Blog SpartanAT...

Just received this link in my Google News - https://www.guns.com/news/2021/04/29/coming-to-america-beretta-importing-new-manurhin-mr73-revolvers Article says Beretta will be importing two models of the Manurhin MR73 Revolvers chambered in .357 Magnum and favored by the French Special Forces...

Thank you, Gumby0961 and THR. I was the lucky winner of the Ruger SA Revolver grip giveaway from Gumby0961 in the April 4, 2020 drawing - I chose a pair of dark Cocobolo grips and they are sweet! My .45 Caliber Convertible Ruger Blackhawk likes them as much as I do. Here are the 'before'...

I have a one-person retail business in a small town in southern Illinois doing light automotive repair, propane sales, and firearm sales / transfers and ammunition sales. Ammunition is selling like hotcakes - easily the biggest ammo sales week in my modest history, with customers buying one to...

The Governor of Illinois has issued an Executive Order EXECUTIVE ORDER IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19 (COVID-19 EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 8) that mandates people stay at home and shuts down non-essential travel and business operations, with exceptions for things designated 'Essential' -...

I was putting together a GunBroker listing on a consignment sale for a customer and was surprised at how nice one of the photos turned out. I was trying to show how good the finish looks on a clean, nearly 60 year old Double-Nine W-104 Nickel-Plated DA/SA 9-Shot 'Cowboy' Revolver and used my...

I have been doing a good job of resisting the urge to take advantage of the offers that show up every day lately in my e-mail. Most of the time I delete them without even looking at specifics. It makes it a little easier now that Palmetto State Armory and many others have had to start charging...

Found this link in my E-mail from All Outdoors this morning. It talks about sight / target focus in a self defense situation. It is a little over six and a half minutes long and mostly covers basic fundamental sighting stuff (I never mind spending a little time re-hashing fundamentals if the...

I had been able to long resist the siren call of putting together an AR-15 Pistol - it just seemed like I had no use nor need for one - but I could only ignore the Palmetto State Armory deluge of e-mail deals for so long. Finally, a 'daily deal' on a PSA 7.5" 5.56 NATO 1/7 Phosphate 7" M-Lok...

I just saw this story about some Georgia legislators rethinking $40 million in tax breaks on jet fuel for Delta Airlines. http://www.11alive.com/article/news/politics/no-discount-no-tax-break-former-ga-senator-upset-over-deltas-nra-decision/85-523318264 A glaringly public severing of ties or...

I found myself with a little extra cash and a bad itch for a new gun - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/taurus-992-tracker-combo-9-shot-revolver-22lr-22wmr.832022/ and https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/ifc-410arum-410-bore-upper-receiver-for-ar15-lower.832086/ but I...

It is that time of year when I come into contact with 'new to me' available firearms https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/taurus-992-tracker-combo-9-shot-revolver-22lr-22wmr.832022/ and I start thinking that maybe I need to get that shiny new object. The latest is a .410 Bore 2.5"...

Lord, help me. I cannot get the Taurus Tracker Combo Revolver out of my mind. Changing the cylinders appears to take seconds, and with a quick reset of the the adjustable sight for elevation you can quickly switch back and forth from .22LR to .22WMR (if you want to). I have been shooting my...

It took a while, but I believe I have finally found my load for my .38 Special SS Taurus M85 Snub Nose Revolver. Titegroup and CFE Pistol have been OK, but good old Bullseye really worked well with the X-Treme HPs. Today I shot my best target yet with that dandy little handgun. A ten shot...

I had a customer want to buy himself an AR-style 12 gauge shotgun for Christmas. The projected uses were: a) "blowing up pumpkins after Halloween"; and b) "general home / farm defense". He did not want to spend a lot of money and was not interested in an AK-style shotgun, but wanted one that...

This sure seems like a gun buyer's market for the time being. Here is a link https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-12-08/smith-wesson-maker-tumbles-as-gunmakers-battle-over-prices to a Bloomberg (gasp!) online article about gun manufacturers in general and Smith & Wesson's parent...

Every once in a while, deals on surplus firearms still show up on the market now and then. After looking for five to six years, I finally found one of my 'Grail Guns' - a CZ83 chambered in .32ACP for a price well below $500 (believe it or not, that is tough to find!). A shipment must have come...

Looking through the hundreds(?) of e-mails with 2017 Black Friday Deals, I came away less than impressed this year. Maybe I am just getting older and more jaded and crabbier as I get closer to qualifying for Medicare, perhaps it was because I took advantage of numerous 'deals' in the last year...

I used to look at just about every thread in the half dozen areas of my specific interests on THR (as well as EVERY thread that included a post from rcmodel), but I find myself more and more passing by ones with relatively non-descriptive titles like 'Sale' or 'Help' with no real indication what...

I just spent a week with H110 and it was an eye opener. After a lifetime of turning wrenches and screwdrivers for a living, heavy loads with sharp recoil in handguns are just no fun for me and my worn wrists. I have been loading most of my revolver rounds with lead bullets over Trail Boss the...
