    Smith Model 1917 .45

    Id heard of these but never seriously considered one until I noticed one at a local shop. Who owns one? What can you tell me about them? The one in question is linked below, $450. https://www.yourgunrack.com/landing/1606 The grips are wrong I think but the price seems good?

    My First 1911

    Hoping for some guidance from the resident 1911 experts around here. Looking for my first 1911. I’d like it to look at least passingly close to a WWII era 1911. It doesn’t have to be correct down to the minute details, but should have the classic A1 WWII look. It also must work with quality...

    How Have you Built Shooting Skills?

    I’ve had an LTC for a little over 6 years now, and I’ve been shooting for 7. I built a lot of skills the first couple years but then improvements started to get less frequent and much more subtle. For the last twoish years, I’m not sure I’ve improved much at all. It’s not a fun thing to say...

    New Auto ordnance 9mm 1911

    Just happened across a new 1911 I didn’t know existed: https://shopkahrfirearmsgroup.com/copy-of-1911a1-gi-specs-matte-black-finish/ It seems like it could be a good economical choice being in 9mm, but still getting the A1 GI vibe. What do you guys think? Anyone tried one? I like 9mm but for...

    School Me: .357 Sig

    Hoping to glean some knowledge on the .357 Sig cartridge due to the potential for a trade I was offered. Who has one? What do you like about it? Dislike? What pistols do you like best? If you don’t have one, is there a reason you don’t want one? I live in Massachusetts and I was recently...

    Your Favorite Inefficient and Obsolete Guns

    Sometimes you just like something without good reason. Often guns fit that mold. What are your favorite guns that you know are obsolete, inefficient, or objectively-not-the-best for the job you use it for? For me there are a couple: Single or double barrel shotguns for hunting. I can’t really...

    NAA Mini Convertible .22lr/.22mag

    Hi Considering getting a NAA mini convertible. If you have one I’m hoping to hear your impressions of it. It will mostly be for fun, but definitely will be carried sometimes as a backup or for gym shorts carry where anything else would be too heavy in a pocket or clipped to the elastic waist...

    Scope mount

    I recently bought a primary arms 1-6 scope. Part of the deal was that I got an optics planet gift card with it, which I used to get a primary arms scope mount. Since I got the mount it’s been nothing but trouble: wouldn’t tighten down on my rifles pic rail, tinkered with it, removed a washer in...

    As I’m not really a revolver guy, I just came across something I hadn’t seen before and it piqued my interest.

    Hey guys, I’m in the market for a reasonably priced Muzzleloading rifle. It will be used for a few things: - Range use. Gotta be fun. - Hunting white tail and other critters.

    Looking for a low power 1-X optic

    Hoping for some feedback on a couple of optics I’m comparing for my AR. I’m not a rich man so I’ll say up front that things like aim point and eotech and the like are simply too rich for my budget. I’m looking for a versatile 1-4,6, or 8 scope. Primarily it will be used for plinking, hunting...

    BP noob, and NAA Companion

    recently I kind of got intrigued by black powder revolvers. I’ve never held or shot one before and I’m hoping the pros can share some pitfalls and tips about ownership and use based on experience. Any models/ manufacturers that would be a good choice for a rank amateur to buy and try? I have...

    Remington 870 Supermag

    Ran into a Remington 870 supermag used at the shop Saturday and I know nothing about them. It was 175$ and seemed mechanically fine. Stock was obviously spray painted black and ugly as hell. Would be used as an all purpose shotgun, mostly hunting activities ranging from squirrel to black bear...

    Purchasing a new pistol, behind enemy lines

    I will preface this post with: I live in Massachusetts. For those out of the loop, we still have the awb and a list that governs what pistols a dealer can sell you. Now to the good stuff. I have a small chunk of change saved and I want to buy a new pistol. I have a SW shield 9mm already...
