    MCK Sales, Discounts... Because They're Verboten?

    I just received a text from MCK concerning a "buy one, get one free" sale for their products. Last month, I removed my G22 from the MCK kit that I had, which was a shame as it was pretty sharp. Correct me if I'm wrong, but with the brace installed, these can no longer be used legally without...

    Rossi M885, Limited +P Okay?

    I bought a lightly used Rossi M855 last month from a coworker for a decent price. Due to his wife being diagnosed with a psychological condition, he doesn't want it in his house. According to him, he just received the revolver back from the PD (his wife killed his neighbor's dog with it, long...

    9-Shot .22WMR Alloy-frame DA Revolver... A Unicorn?

    My wife asked me about a female coworker of hers that wants a revolver that's greater in capacity than 5 or 6, light in weight AND light in recoil. I know there are a great many .22LRs out there that may fit this bill, however... is anyone aware of such a thing in .22 magnum? Is there an alloy...

    It's 2023 and you see a mysterious new PDW in the display case... interested?

    I'm a sucker for new gadgets, interesting concepts and so forth. I like new shiny things. What I carry is boring (Gen4 G19) but it makes me happy. I see a lot of potential for future PDWs, however. Especially if the ATF refrains from going after pistol braces. Would there be any interest...

    You must buy either a: Walther WMP or PSA 5.7 Rock

    You're sleeping and a genie awakens you to demand you either purchase a Walther WMP (a 15+1 .22WMR semi-auto) or a Palmetto State Armory 5.7 Rock (a 23+1 5.7x28 semi auto). No, you cannot punch him. He throws $549 at you and tells you they both cost the same, so chose one and figure a reason...

    Could I go wrong with a Dead Air Wolfman for my AK-V?

    I finally decided on a Dead Air Wolfman to pair with my Palmetto State Armory AK-V 9mm. This will be more first and likely only suppressor. There's a shop nearby that will walk me through the process. Being a creature of instant gratification, I may only be able make the wait only once...

    Pick out a suppressor for my AK-V

    My mind has been rendered to mush over the past few weeks with a ton of things happen resulting in ample overtime at work and fun (read Covid) at home. I want to suppress my Palmetto State Armory AK-V and do intend to do some research on the different types. However, with the amount of stuff...

    Benjamin Bulldog 357: What do I need to know

    I recently got back into the air rifle scene after being away... since my teens. I was in Greenville, SC recently to stop by the Palmetto State Armory and really didn't find the deals I was hoping for (but not really expecting during these times). I then stopped by a nearby Academy Sports and...

    Atomic Ammunition 357 Magnum (Nosler 158gr JHP)

    About a year ago, I purchased a DWM Luger and two 1895 Nagant revolvers from my inlaw's neighbor. Along with the handguns, I also purchased all the ammunition he had. This fellow had a prankster friend who willed him all his guns and ammunition, knowing full well he was borderline anti-gun...

    Legal to keep a machete/sword in DC hotel/personal vehicle?

    So my wife has surprised me with a week-long trip to a family's beach house on Long Island followed immediately by another week-long stay at a fairly nice hotel in Washington DC on the Potomac (Canopy by Hilton "The Wharf" or something along that name). My last few trips to NYC were...

    Value of an IAC/Norinco 1897 "Trench" Shotgun

    Due to the dwindling space for long guns with my latest acquisitions, I've decided to take a look at what I have and what I simply never use. I have an IAC/Norinco shotgun in used condition (with perhaps a total of 50 trouble-free shells fired). There is a strange discoloring on the finish on...

    Polymer EAA Witness in 10mm: Consensus on hot loads?

    Now that the Tanfoglio (full size) Witness P 10mm has been out for a while, are they considered good to go for the hotter 10mm options such as those from Buffalo Bore and Underwood? The only 10mm I have currently is a RIA Tac Ultra FS and since I've had it, I've cast, powder coated and loaded...

    Jumping into the world of suppressors: Best option for AK-V

    A coworker of mine informed me of a nearby shop that will walk a person through the process of obtaining a suppressor, something I've been wanting for a while. I don't want the suppressor for "cool factor" but only to save my ears if I ever needed to fire for defense indoors. I do have a .300...

    Suppressing AK-V, JHP Choices

    I decided to suppress my AK-V as I keep reading it's a platform just begging for a can. I would like to use this as my go-to for home defense. I bought a .300 Blackout 7.5" upper to suppress, but with ammunition being next to impossible to find for a reasonable price, I'm going to shelve that...

    Issues with Micro Roni

    I've been loving my Micro Roni/G22 gen4/Holosun sight combo. Hit probability has skyrocketed for me at ranges beyond 20 yards. I haven't fired this much, perhaps around 200 rounds. While at the range last Saturday, I ran into malfunctions where it appeared the slide would short stroke and...

    1911 magazine pops out when slide cycles

    I purchased a new Tisas 1911 GI and overall I'm happy with it. However, when using any other magazine than what the pistol was shipped with, the magazine will pop out when attempting to chamber a round. This has happened with Chip McCormick Shooting Star mags, Wilson Combat 8-round mag and a...

    Going through an FFL for local sale (plus question about permits)

    A buddy of mine as agreed to trade my DWM Luger and RIA 1911 for his low-miles Suzuki C50 Boulevard. We both work for the same employer that require annual background checks as a condition of employment, so I'm quite certain there's nothing preventing him from owning a firearm (and he already...

    How does SDS Tisas compare to RIA?

    I recently made a trade with a buddy of my 1921 DWM Luger and RIA 1911 for his Suzuki Boulevard (low miles). I was not overly fond of the luger but I did enjoy the RIA 1911 quite a bit. Unlike my Kimber Classic Custom, it fed all my SWC reloads. I found and purchased a SDS Tisas 1911 GI...

    Ever feel like reducing down to just a few firearms?

    Over the years I have collected WW1/WW2 C&Rs and many modern firearms. Sometimes I get bitten by a bug for one thing and I cool my jets for that after something else piques my interest. Lately, I haven't been bitten by any bug nor has anything really caught my eye. In fact, I was even...

    Radical Arms... Different from Black Aces and Panzer?

    A buddy is shopping for an auto bullpup shotgun and decided on the Panzer Arms DP-12 (I think). These are sold out locally but we stumbled upon a seemingly identical bullpup shotgun to the Panzer DP12 called the NK1 offered by Radical Arms. The NK1 is both in stock and $100 less. We were...
