    S&W 386 Nightguard - why no love?

    Presumably S&W quit making the 386 NG due to lower than expected sales. If that's true, why didn't it take off? I think they're pretty cool, but I'm not a big revolver guy, so I'm looking for some perspective from revolver aficionados. Why no love for this pistol? Sent from my iPhone...

    1917 Eddystone - pawnshop price

    Hello all, I saw a 1917 Eddystone in a small town gun shop today. I'm not familiar with them and now know only what can be learned in a three minute web search. As for the rifle itself, it looked to be in pretty decent shape. I couldn't take it apart to fully inspect, but the visible metal...

    AR-15 within $1500 budget

    Hello all, I have a buddy that fell hard for shooting after getting his first handgun, a G22. Now he's socking away $1500 or so for an AR-15. I have an Armalite AR-10 (love it), but I can't help him too much on little brother. It will primarily be for self defense and range use. Any...
