    Selling a G19

    I'd like to sell one of my Glocks. I've got 3 G19's. A GEN3, GEN4 and a GEN5. All are black with NS's and no add on's/upgrades. All are in LN condition. I've owned Glocks since the '90's but I'm a revolver/1911 guy and really don't keep up with Glock's Gen changing technology. Which one would...

    AMMO

    A friend and neighbor of mine and I are both retired and able to peruse local gun shops at will. He is an avid smith collector. At any rate there's a Cabelas 10 mins. away and my buddy goes there 3-4 times a week. He called me last night and told me the gun dept was packed with customers and...

    Bought this guy the udder day. 66-2 In pretty nice shape Made in '87. Came with orig grips which is getting pretty rare these days. No flame cutting.

    Walther PPS M2 question

    I've got a chance to buy a used LNIB PPS M2 9MM for a pretty good price. $330 for gun, box with all the stuff and 1 each 6,7, and 8 rd mags. Gun does not fall in safety recall serial # range. I really liked original PPS but paddle style mag release turns me off. Any owners out there? What do you...

    Kimber Tale

    About 2 months ago I bought a used Kimber Pro Carry II at a large sporting goods store. It was priced at $550 but I got a discount of 10% because of a used gun sale they were running. They applied a couple small discounts to the remainder and I wound up paying $490 for the gun. This particular...

    Chinese SKS

    I bought a Chinese SKS "paratrooper" the other day. I paid $400 for it. Don't laugh, the days of the $80 imports are gone. I might invest in a Murray's firing pin assm.. Anybody else have any interest in these.

    Det Spec problem

    I bought Det Spec today, looks like '73 production. This gun has the hammer bobbed so I had a little problem doing pre purchase checks. The hammers bobbed but it can still be cocked. There's no serrations on the hammer so it is difficult to cock. A dangerous condition that I may or may not...

    Ruger Service Six

    Yesterday I bought this Police Service Six. I've had both Security and Speed Sixes many moons ago. They seem to be getting harder to find. Maybe cause they only made the "six" models from '72-'88. Looks lke it was made in '85. I got the gun for $375 inc. tax, which seems to be pretty reasonable...

    My "new" Bicycle gun

    I've looked for one of this type I could afford for a long time. This is an Iver Johnson chambered in .32 short. This one has lost all it's finish, but is mechanically sound. Grips are worn a bit but intact, no cracks or chips. I thought about cold blueing it, but I think I'll leave it alone...

    S&W 13-3 3"

    Today I purchased a 13-3 3" and I'm curious about your thoughts. The gun is about 90% because of holster muzzle wear and a couple small owies. Mechanically it's perfect. I've been looking for a 19 2.5" for quite a while now and affordable ones are non existent. Are the 2.5" 19 and 13 3"...

    Strange Colt Agent (revolver) problem

    Today I bought a black underlug Agent which I have been unable to date. It's ser# is W32180. WAG would be mid '70's. When I tested lockup in the shop it appeared all was well. I was satisfied handing over $500 for the gun as it appears to be in 98% shape with correct grips. When I got it home I...

    Remington RM380

    Bought one of these today. It's supposesd to be a direct copy of a Rohrbaugh with ambi mag release as opposed to bottom of grip. Knowing of recent past history of Remington handguns I was hesitant. Cabelas down the street had them for $349 but the store matched online price of $300 minus 5%...

    The only Colts I have left

    Pretty sad. 20 years ago I probably had 25 Colt 1911's and revolvers. I've pared my collection down to what I carry comfortably. The Colts are: 1 DS, 2 Cobras, and an Agent. My new favorite is the finished challenged Cobra top right. I got it from a dealer for $165.00 last month.

    Colt Cobra

    I bought this gun last week. It's a '71 Cobra with a hammer shroud. There's some question as to whether it left the factory like that. I'm looking for some short (hard to find) Agent stocks for it. Gun came with rubber aftermkt. junk on it. I added these stocks and Tyler for now. I really like...

    FNS-9

    I bought a 4" FNS-9 last week. It's used with no signs of wear and night sites. I was never a fan of plastic or striker fired guns (Glock being the exception) until the last couple years. At 68 and with arthritis in both hands I'm having problems with traditional DA guns and their long first...
