When I got into guns, auto loaders were hot. Revolvers were passe and on their way out, thus, cheap police surplus. You could buy used model 10s, pristine, under 200. Pristine model 66s or 586s for 350. Anaconda for 400. Range ammo was about 7 bucks /50 rounds of 38. Now, we're awash in...

Saw one under the glass locally. I think it was around 450. I was in a hurry, no one at the counter so no chance to scope it out yet! Anyone own one? I already have 45acp on hand. I like the idea of loading from a 1911 mag, and that unlike my SW Governor, moonclips are not necessary for the...

Does anyone know where I could have an old detective special worked on? My grampa had me look at it. I took it by a large local gun store that also offers gun smithing but to no avail.

My 642 is showing its age. Who cares, plenty of life left in it! Does the black finish on the 442 wear better than the silver finish on the 642? The silver is flaking and peeling, generally looks pretty bad. Anyone have any 442s that rode the river so to speak? Anyone have any experience in...

Man, I heard about these back in like 2006! They were always out of my price range. Lately, I've been considering a couple of their models. Does anyone own any and if so, what did you think? Wish I could handle several...so hard to tell from stats on a page !

Just wanted to get a general consensus on the best of these. I've tried: P365 with safety Ruger ec9 Sig p938 Hellcat (x2) I've shot a sw shield. I don't have any of those as it stands. I'd probably rank them hellcat, ec9, 938, 365, shield. But now there are a ton of new models...I can't keep...

How are you doing? I'm tempted again. Some lovely wooden grip, stainless finish models at the local fun store. How is reliability? Are you finding inexpensive range ammo feeds okay? I like the winchester flat point 380 round. It isn't the hottest, but is flawless in my lcp and my wife's 238...

How are the r92 lever guns by rossi? A buddy has one with a stainless finish in 44 mag. I fired some specials out of it. Ashamed to admit, I couldn't hit squat! I was better with my six inch l frame. But, I think with a little practice and sighting it in for me maybe one in 357 could be fun...

What do you think the better load is? If barrel length is a factor, let me know.

What do you take along? Normal ccw? Does location dictate? Certainly would play a part if you're going to awb states. I don't bring long guns personally, but I usually bring my ccw. I like guns I travel with to stay with me as much as possible. Part of me likes revolvers. I shoot them...

Hello, Any recommendations for good quality, affordable throwing axes and throwing knives?

Browsing the ammo aisle the other day, and shaking my head, I've decided I'm only buying 50 round boxes of (reasonably priced) jhp from here on out. It seems like these top of the line boutique ammo boxes keep getting smaller and smaller. Probably be selling one round at a time soon. I'm of...

It seems many loads start to open up at three inches, but what would you choose for a 2 inch model 60 or 2.5 inch L frame? These steel frame models are hefty enough to handle hotter loads, especially an L frame! I'm not as up to date as some out there, just know that the fbi load 158 gr lswchp...

Plucked my money down on a Ruger LCP custom. The middle child between the original lcp, and the redesigned lcp 2. The custom has a wide red aluminum trigger, the greater purchase supposedly helps offset the heavy pull. The model comes with a stainless steel guide rod, as well as usable sights...

In the market for a gun that's flatter smaller and most importantly lighter than an airweight. Looking for suggestions, will start some window shopping shortly! I've been looking into loaded weights. I've owned an lcp, lcp max, naa guardian, tcp, naa, 21a, taurus ply22, p938, hellcat, ec9...

Hello, I remember a resource a few years ago dating serial numbers and proof marks to figure out an approximate born on date for glocks. I've picked up a gen 3 glock 19. It has a 3 digit alpha/3 digit numerical serial as well as a proof mark on the barrel that appears to be a pentagon and a...

Looking for recommendations on holster options for carry for a 686 plus 2.5 inch barrel. Open to iwb/owb maybe even shoulder etc. Even though it's a bit heavy, it's handy and well balanced, quite fast on target. I bet someone has found a great holster and I hope that they share the love Thanks!

I haven't been to a gun store in some time. Got tired of empty shelves and crazy prices. Most new guns don't do much for me. Today I had a Dr apt and ended up needing to kill time before a script was ready. I actually found some decent deals! First up a 686 plus 2.5 inch barrel for 750 asking...

Recently did an order and my requested load of a 158 grain jhp was out of stock. Owner asked if 125s were okay and I said sure, thinking they were also jhp but they were actually jacketed SOFT points. Not a big deal, even with shipping it's less than 30 per box and in my area 38s have...

I've got a model 10-5 in the box. I just don't take it out much. I just read the face to face Illinois sales law and from the state police website I think we can still sell privately for now at least. What would you ask for it? Pencil barrel. Bit of muzzle wear. The Bangor punta box has seen...
