    Wilson Combat KZ 45

    I wanted one of these years ago, and didn't have the $$ back then. I happened to have some cash recently for a gun purchase, and found a nice used example for sale at a good price. Got a chance to shoot it Thursday night and it ran like a champ. No issues at all, and very accurate. I...

    Found an old school Taurus 85 today

    I bought a stainless model 85 back in the early '90s and really liked it. It was a well made piece. I know there are Taurus lovers and Taurus haters, but some of these older models really are nicely finished. I sold that stainless 85 to a friend years ago, and it was subsequently stolen. I...

    Folding stocks -- why or why not?

    What are the real benefits of a folding stock on a rifle? I have an AK with an under folding stock, mainly because they were banned in '94 and when the ban sunsetted, I got one. But what is the real benefit? More compact for transport? I can't really shoot it worth a flip with the stock...

    Semi-auto guy discovers the Over-Under...

    I have always been a Semi-Auto shotgun guy. I have never warmed up to pumps. My 20ga Remington 1100 has been the go-to gun for dove, quail and informal clays shooting for the last 15 years. It has always been 100% reliable too, until this past dove season. I bought some super cheap dove...

    Best bang for the buck deal on .40 S&W pistol?

    What is the best bang for the buck deal on a .40S&W pistol that is reliable and decent? Don't say Hi Point or any Bryco junk stuff, but what are the best deals out there? Police trade-in Glocks? S&W 3rd generations, Rugers? Dare I say Sigma? Just a good reliable, goes bang every time .40...

    S&W 99 vs Glock 22

    If you had a chance to pick up a S&W 99 in .40 S&W for $300, or a Gen 2 Glock 22 for $325, which would you get and why? Both would come with 2 mags.

    Can anyone identify this gun?

    A friend of mine went to the range and got to shoot another friend's pistol. She can't recall what it was. Can you identify it from this pic? She said she thinks it was a 9mm.

    Remington 1100 20ga foreend?

    I have a Remington 1100 20ga that is the full-size, not the LT20. I want to replace a cracked foreend, but I want to make sure I get one that fits right. Will a foreend for a 12ga fit? I don't see the 20ga full-size guns that often or parts in many places. Everything seems to be for the LT20.

    S&W 3000 12ga pump

    Anyone else get in on the recent sale on these? Mine arrived last week. The gun has some nicks & scuffs being a police trade in, but she is solid and locks up nice. I like the speedfeed stock too. Seems like a good value for a HD shotty. 18.5" barrel, police cylinder choke, 2 3/4" chamber.

    Colt Cobra 3" shrouded - value?

    Saw one locally for sale from an individual. Colt Cobra, .38 Special, 3" barrel. Looks like a mid '90s gun, based on the blue Colt case. Looks to be new in the box. Seems like a fairly scarce gun. Ideas on value?

    CZ-82: who has them in stock, where's the best place to get one?

    I've decided to jump on the CZ-82 bandwagon since they are now C&R eligible. Aim Surplus doesn't show them on their website anymore, and Centerfiresystems is out of stock. Who has them for a fair price? Any recommendations on good places that will ship to me as a C&R? Thanks in advance!

    HK P7 vs. Browning Hi Power?

    Anyone have pics comparing the relative size of a Hi Power to a HK P7 PSP? I often carry a Hi Power IWB, and am looking forward to picking up a German P7 police trade in soon, and would like to know the overall size difference compared to a Hi Power. I has been too long since I have seen a...

    Taurus 85 Homeland Defender?

    Has anyone seen or handled one of these? Looks like a standard ultralite model 85, but I like that it has a fiber optic front sight. Hard to tell from the pics if the front sight is dovetailed -- anyone actually seen one?

    Broke the v spring in my Cobra -- where can I get a replacement?

    Well, I went and did it tonight! :rolleyes: I completely disassembled and cleaned the innards of my Colt Cobra (lightweight version of the Detective Special) and I managed to break the main V spring in the action. I guess I was a little heavy handed with the needle nose pliers. Anywho...

    Got me a nickel Colt Cobra

    Snatched up this little gem recently. ;) The finish was a bit dull, but some Flitz and plenty of elbow grease took care of that! The Cobra is basically a Detective Special with an aluminum frame. :cool: With some 158gr LSWC hollowpoints it should be a handy little tool...

    Rossi 462 frame size?

    Does anyone know how the Rossi 6-shot snubbies (46202 and 46102) compare with S&W frame sizes? As the Rossi line is mostly a copy of S&W, are these more of a K frame size or J frame? These Rossi's hold 6-shots instead of the usual S&W J frame 5 shots. The only one I have seen seemed to me...

    My second N Frame

    Just picked up this piece. It is a S&W model 28 Highway Patrolman in .357 Magnum, pinned barrel, recessed cylinder, finished in hard chrome from Armoloy. I know most out there are 27 fans, not so much the 28. But this one just said "Take me home!" :D

    Fair price for Ruger M77 MKII 30.06 SS/Zytel?

    I have a Ruger M77 MKII all stainless with Zytel stock just taking up room in the safe. I bought it new in 1993 and it probably only has 200 rounds through it. It is in excellent + condition with no marks or scratches of any kind. It has the integral Ruger scope rings and a padded sling, but...

    New rear sight from SDM -- Novak replacement for 1911's

    I recently picked up a nice used 1911 compact from a forum member. The only thing I didn't like was the Novak rear sight. I have Heinies or Bomars on all my 1911's and Hi Powers and I just can't get used to the 3-dot Novak. Rather than replacing both front and rear sights with Heinies, I...

    Added another Security Six to the collection

    I found this one on Gunbroker and couldn't pass up the $150 "Buy it Now" price. :D I have a 4" also and a 2 3/4" Speed Six. These are great guns and can be had for bargain prices!
