    Found a Unicorn at a Gun Show

    Actually found what I think is a deal at a gun show. Went with some friends to a show in Tampa, FL on Sunday not really believing I would find something that would get my attention. I've been wanting to get a CZ 75 B but based on past gun show experiences I didn't figure I'd get a deal on one...

    CZ 75 vs CZ Shadow 2 Orange

    I've shot my friend's Shadow 2 twice now and am quite impressed with it's accuracy, ability to control recoil, fits my hand great and looks cool. I shoot it better than my Kimber KHX Custom. My main hang up with the Shadow 2 is the price. I can get it at a local store for a bit over $1,600...

    Hesitate and you lose!

    At the local LGS/gun range yesterday I noticed in the used gun display, a Ruger blued MK III 5" heavy barrel. Pistol looked like near new condition and priced at $179. I wanted to think about it as I have 2 other 22. lr pistols. When I finally decided I need a 3rd one, another guy was at the...

    Recommendations on spotting scope between $400 and $700

    I want a spotting scope that will let me see a .22 bullet hole at 100 - 200 yards in a black bullseye. Need to be able to see holes when the target is in the shade. I have an old Bausch & Lomb 20X - 45X that does well in bright sunlight but when the target is shaded, I have problems seeing the...

    Fully Automatic Shotgun

    AA-12 Fully Automatic Shotgun!!! - YouTube This video was posted on a social website that I participate in where the poster of the video implied that this shotgun could be legally purchased to possibly shoot up a neighborhood. I thought the 1986 gun act limited the number of legal fully...

    Got a 9mm 1911

    I've been wanting a 9mm 1911 pistol for a while now because of arthritis in my hands. My 45 acp 1911 is becoming a bit too painful for me. A friend that shoots in a bullseye league with me just couldn't shoot his pistol well and decide to sell it. One look and a short shooting session and I...

    Gifting handgun to family member

    I've searched the forum and ATF website and can't find the answer. I'm waiting on a call back from the ATF. I live in FL and traveled to TN for Christmans with family. I brought 2 handguns as gifts to my Grandson. If memory serves correctly I need to do a transfer through an FFL to him. I...

    Kimber LW Night Patrol

    I'm looking at 9mm 1911 pistols and have been fondling the Kimber LW Night Patrol. My question is about the aluminum frame. I am concerned about the steel slide causing excessive wear on the frame. Is this a concern or something I should worry about in 40,000 rounds? I know this isn't one of...

    4.6 X 30 mm Ammo??

    Was at the LGS today and noticed some Fiocchi 4.6 X 30 mm ammo on the shelf. I've never heard of this cartridge so asked one of the more experienced sales people what he knew about it. He had no idea what gun it was used in. When I got home I got on the internet and found out that it is for...

    Arlington Ordnance M1 Carbine

    Locally there is a Arlington Ordnance M1 carbine for sale. I did some internet searching and found that Arlington Ordnance rebuilt Korean M1 carbines back in the 90's. The price on this one isn't too bad considering what I've been seeing them sell for on the internet. The seller is asking...

    Sportman's Warehouse has opened here.

    A while back I posted that Sportsman's Warehouse announced they were going to open a store here. I went the other day and was surprised at the number of guns for sale and the number of different models in stock, long guns and handguns. I was surprised at the amount of ammo on hand and the...

    Sportsman's Warehouse???

    Just read in our local newspaper that a Sportsman's Warehouse will be opening here soon. The building they will occupy is a fairly large space so the selection of merchandise should be decent. I've never been in one so how does it compare with the competition, Cabela's, Bass Pro, Sheels, etc...

    Is an aftermarket trigger really worth it for S&W M&P 9?

    I have a full size M&P 9, 2.0 that supposedly has an improved trigger. When I pull the trigger it feels like its dragging through sand and gravel in the first stage and in the second stage it feels like I'm pulling against boulders. I'm quite disgusted with this pistol as I had to send it...

    I did a 180 on attitude towards AR15 platforms

    Previously I owned 2 AR15 rifles but kept them less than a year, just couldn't warm up to them. The ones that I was issued in the Army were worn out and in need of rebuild so that created a disdain for the platform. A while back I bought another one to give it one more try and I have developed...

    What dove tail profile on S&W 1911

    I have S&W Performance Center 1911. I'm trying to determine what slide dove tail profile is used on the pistol. I've looked at some pictures of the 4 most used profiles and it looks to me like it is BoMar but LPA is quite similar. I called S&W customer service and the rep said he had been...

    Pearl Grips for Kimber Mico 9?

    I have a Kimber Micro 9 that is all black with the OD green Crimson Trace laser sight grips. The laser sight is a no-go for me as I grip the pistol up high and my fat index finger blocks the laser. I've been considering grips with a bit of "bling" to offset the flat black color. Found a set...

    Hi, my name is George and I'm a shootaholic!

    I'm shooting more now than I ever did before and think I'm addicted. On the 2nd Saturday and 2nd Sunday of each month I shoot metallic silhouette. I shoot rifles in 30-30, 44 Mag and 22lr to add a bit of variety and a T/C Contender in 22lr also. On the 3d Sunday each month I shoot metallic...

    Shot my AR pistol for the first time today.

    I have an AR pistol, Anderson lower and a PSA 11.5 inch upper, Romeo 5 red dot. Nothing fancy or expensive but it will work well for my purposes. Finally got to shoot it today and really, really like the thing. I've heard they were loud and even with foam ear plugs and ear muffs it was LOUD...

    Taurus Repair Experience

    I have a Taurus Model 44 in .44 Mag that I broke the cylinder stop plunger when I inadvertently dropped the cylinder and crane while taking it apart to clean. Broke the plunger and the spring found a black hole in my shop. Then I noticed that the firing pin had broken. I bought the gun a...
