Hey, all - I'm going to be in Phoenix next week for Massad Ayoob's LFI-1 class, and I was wondering which shops I should check out? Preference is for stores with a good selection of decent-condition, reasonably-priced, used handguns; I'm especially looking out for snub-nosed .38/.357 revolvers...

So yesterday, I'm at the range doing a few hours' worth of private tutoring with a single mom/novice gun owner who recently took a CCW class with me. At this point, I've taken her all the way from baby-steps shooting from the bench, up to two-handed Isosceles stance, and firing 3.75-second...

This just hit my in-box, figured I'd pass it on:

Hey, all - I've got my eye on a nice-looking nickel CZ85 Combat, but wanted to pose this question before I move forward on it: Is the rear sight dovetail cut for the "Combat" models' adjustable sight the same as on the standard, "non-Combat" CZ 75/85/SP-01? Or, more to the point, can I...

...and now I know why buying my MkII was such a smart move!!! So anyways, this poor fella walks into the gun store I'm shopping at with a field-stripped Ruger MkIII 22/45 in pieces in the factory box, asking how the heck you're supposed to put it back together. The call goes out, "Anybody...

I was up late last night, and my sleep-deprived brain kicked this idea out from between the gears: Suppose you wanted to show novice shooters EXACTLY what goes on inside a double-action revolver...you could: 1) Obtain an inexpensive S&W(e.g. police trade-in Model 10, 64, etc.) and...

On Saturday, I spent some time coaching a very classy lady in shooting her new G26, and the subject of field-stripping her Glock came up. So, I showed her the officially-approved method from the owner's manual and the "armorer's grip" - which she was unable to make work due to limited hand...

OK, I was just at one of my favorite local FFL's, and he has a stainless 6" barrel(more or less) Ruger Single-Six in used, near-Excellent condition(very minor scuffing on recoil shield from holster/case) for $250.00. The gun comes with the yellow cardboard factory box and papers, but only has...

This thought has been bouncing around in my head for the past week, so I thought I'd run it past the rest of the forum: Would there be any benefit(or conversely, any negatives) to claiming temporary hearing loss after a self-defense shooting? Specifically, I was thinking that claiming...

...or else I'm not gonna have as much fun shooting the Entreprise Arms L1A1 Sporter I just put on layaway. :D I've already got a gross metric buttload of FAL mags, but mine are all METRIC-pattern; I understand that inch-pattern FALs can work with metric mags, but that the fit may be loose...

I seem to remember that at least a couple of folks here have had S&W replace their 6-shot L-frame cylinders with the 7-shot version - obviously I'm not holding my mouth right when I do a search, 'cuz I'm drawing a blank. So, I'm just gonna put the question out there - how much does/did this...

Title says it all - finally got the little blaster off of layaway yesterday, and now it's home, sniffing butts with my "full-size" K40. I do have a question, if anybody knows the answer for sure: This gun, Serial # HA17XX, should be a relatively early-production gun - I think I have a Massad...

These questions came up at yesterday's CCW class, for which I did not have a ready answer: - When TSA does an ID check at the airport security checkpoint, are they automatically informed of, or have the option/ability to further investigate, whether an individual has a CCW/CHL permit? - If...

Well, since my company-issued duty gun is a S&W 910, I'm going to get a LE-surplus 5906 for independent practice/training/IDPA. I'm also considering a compact version for CCW, so I'd like to hear the opinions of those of you who own or have owned one of the above guns. I usually shoot...

...So, I and a friend got up to Phoenix today for the Crossroads of the West/Small Arms Review gun show - the ONLY gun show worth battling Phoenix's rush-hour traffic on the way home for. :cuss: As usual, the prices for new and used guns there ran at least $100 more than I would have been...

Mac, who also works at the local county jail, was injured in an escape attempt a couple of days ago. His ribs were broken, his skull was fractured, and he received a concussion, but he was up and walking around, and talking normally to a reporter on local TV today. If anybody has any guns...

A friend and co-worker passed this on to me: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Red Fridays. Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the "silent majority." We...
