Is there a difference, or are they different terms for the same thing?

Customized Glock 19 that looks like Legos. Culper Precision Introduces Block19 Customization For Glock 19's -The Firearm Blog

This little gun comes up in discussion now and then with reliability being an issue. I know that there can be a big difference between specific examples of the gun, particularly with different kinds of ammo being used. Just wanted to note that mine has always run quite well. Took it out today...

A few years back, when I used to live in Ohio, I was heavily into reenacting the 1770s-80s settlement era. I had a number of blades, most of which I ended up selling when I retired from the hobby. There are a lot of fur trade and later Western style blades on this forum, but there doesn't seem...

Just noticed a listing for the 42nd Annual TN/KY Rifle Show on April 30-May 1 in Knoxville. Anybody been to the previous shows? I was wondering if it would be worth the trip and if it is limited to members only or if the general public can go- the ad didn't specify one way or the other. I...

On November 7th, I sent in an order for a Tyler T-grip. My check was cashed on 11/16. Hadn't received the grip, so I sent them a text on 1/22, got no response. I called them today, 2/1, and was advised that the voice mail box was full. I have purchased them before (years ago) and while they...

In NYSRPA vs Corbett, the NY State Rifle and Pistol Assn is asking SCOTUS to grant cert in their case challenging New York’s requirement to show a special need for a concealed carry license. Very focused and well written petition...

A year ago, I moved from Ohio to Tennessee. In Ohio, I was a member of a great outdoor range where I could shoot anything I wanted. Here in Tennessee, I have a great indoor range 3/4 of a mile from my house. However, I can't shoot black powder there, and the nearest outdoor range is an hour...

This morning my Uberti '51 Navy returned from Goon's Gun Works. When I purchased it from Cimarron, the gun wasn't too bad overall, the arbor length was wrong of course, but I epoxied a couple washers in the arbor hole to correct that. After having gotten it back, however, I can now see a HUGE...

I am continuing to add classic designs to my handgun collection. My most recent is a Bulgarian Makarov. It is claimed that more Makarovs have been produced than any other pistol model. It feels good in the hand. It is a bit heavy, but the weight makes felt recoil pretty soft. DA trigger is...

I have a NAA .32 Guardian which I purchased to carry in the handwarmer pocket of a winter coat. I find it difficult to access my holstered primary carry gun with any speed from under heavy clothes. I need a really small gun to fit the pocket and while the .32 ACP isn't exactly a powerhouse, it...

I am retiring and moving to Sevierville, TN at the end of October. Are there any state organizations doing a good job of protecting gun rights that I need to support?

When I started dating the woman who would become my wife, she got freaked out when she saw me perusing a gun catalog at her house. She had no previous experience with guns and so had a bit of fear out of ignorance. After letting her know that my interest in guns/self-defense, etc was...

I've had a Beretta Bobcat for some time, it is a well made little rimfire that is fun at the range. One of the drawbacks to the gun is the small thin front sight. In the past, I have painted it orange, but it never would stick to the rounded surface very well and would flake off in short...

Thinking about picking up a S&W 642 or 442. I know that several years ago, there was a lot of complaining about the finishes on these guns being fragile, particularly with the 642 clear coat peeling off. Can anyone comment on recent production examples? Have they changed finish methods? Do...

I was browsing a local gun shop yesterday and came across a S&W 3906. Always been a fan of the 3rd Gen TDA S&Ws. I knew that they didn't make a lot of the 3906s, and this one is in excellent condition, I couldn't pass it up for $360 out the door. When I got home, did a little more research...

Recently picked up a Lipsey's special Single-six with a 4 5/8" barrel. I've had .22 revolvers in the past, but they got sold or traded over the years. I needed a good wheelgun for plinking. I've only gotten out to shoot it once, but I was able to do pretty well with it. My only complaint is...

I was thinking about the Dominator, the single shot bolt action upper made to attach to your 1911 lower, produced in the mid '80s. Anybody here own one? How well does it shoot?

I recently acquired this Star BM from AIM Surplus. Finish is about 98%. There were a couple small dings in the checkered black plastic grips, but I replaced those with a nice set of Cocobolos from J&G Sales. There were barely any scratches on the barrel hood, nor wear on the slide rails. I...

My newest acquisition is a surplus FEG clone of the Hi-Power. It is another classic design which I wanted for my collection. An original FN would certainly by nice, but as they stopped production a year ago, prices are steadily climbing. For my purposes, the FEG fits in nicely. It is an...
