I just bought a new Remington 870 Express shotgun a couple of weeks ago. I have had two 870 Wingmasters for some time, but I bought this one to be used for trap/skeet. My wife and I shot a few rounds of skeet with it with Remington brand 7 1/2 shot size game loads the day after I bought it...

I just bought a slightly used Saiga 12 shotgun, it looks pretty much brand new and I'm very pleased with the purchase because I've wanted one for a long time. I took it out shooting yesterday evening (same day I bought it) - and it functioned as expected. I started out with some light target...

About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Keltec PF9. The next day, I took it to the range and fired about 40-50 rounds (different brands such as Winchester white box, Blazer Brass, Wolf, Remington, etc.). Some were JHP and some were FMJ rounds - all 115gr. It functioned flawlessly with all rounds fired...

I have a Romanian SAR-1 and I want to add another rifle with the same chambering to my collection. I have decided to get an SKS. I called around to 4 local gun shops. Only one has them in stock. They have a "Chinese one" with a wood stock for sale. I asked if it was a Norinco. They said...

A friend of mine sent me these pictures of his father's gun. He states it is a .32 AUTO. I have never seen the gun - just these pictures. He suggested it is from WWII-era Germany. Any info on this gun such as: - approximate manufacture date - who is the manufacturer? - country of...

Due to a new addition to the family and an imminent move to a new home, the gun storage needs for my brother's household are going to be changing in the future. He owns 3 or 4 handguns: .38 Spl Snub-nose revolver .45 ACP Colt Defender Small .22LR semi-auto of some kind 9X18 Makarov...

I have a Taurus 85 Ultralight 5-shot .38 Spl Revolver. It has the standard rubber grips. I would like to get some grips for it that are smaller, thus making the gun easier to carry in a coat pocket. The rubber has too much friction. I have a Model 36 S&W .38 Spl as well -- which was...

Today was an awesome day. I spent several hours up on my family's farm in Southwest Virginia shooting a variety of guns with my wife and father-in-law. It was a bit chilly, but I can't think of a better way to spend a November Saturday. MANY photographs were taken - as we love to photograph...

Today, my wife and I went shooting -- primarily to practice with our carry and home defense handguns. She had not been shooting for quite some time, so we made sure we took our time - spending about 2 1/2 hours at the range so she could really get proficient again with the various guns that we...

I currently own only one revolver - as I have (now regrettably) traded my others in for other guns. The single revolver which I currently own is "retired" as I call it - meaning it is not eligible to be carried for CCW. It is a Smith and Wesson Model 36 Chief's Special - .38 Spl. It was...

I purchased a new Kel-Tec P3AT the other day, and I am very pleased with it. I fired about 100 rounds through it with no mishaps - and the accuracy is acceptable. I have owned at one time or another every pistol model Kel-Tec has produced (I think), and I am more pleased with this P3AT than...

A good friend of mine just purchased a new Springfield Armory 1911 - with Novak sights. At about 7 yards, the pistol is shooting about 4-5 inches low. What is the best way to take care of this? (Note: This is with three or four different types of ammo.) Helpful comments will be...

An acquaintance of my father's is a local businessman, and is also a reserve deputy sheriff. This person served as some sort of county jail keeper for many years. He is also one of the nicest people I have ever met. Let's call this person "John". One day, "John" was waxing nostalgic...

I CCW every single day. I prefer 3:30-ish OWB with a cover vest or jacket, and I usually either carry a full-size 1911 or a Makarov. I also always carry a Kel-Tec P32. I drive a whole lot, and when I'm in my vehicle, I don't like my gun in its holster for a couple of reasions. 1...

I am commonly known by my family and friends to be a very avid gun enthusiast. I am an NRA certified instructor (pistol, hfs), and do a lot of training for people wanting the CCWs here in this part of the state. I like to make sure that both my wife and myself are adequately prepared. For...

I am considering purchasing a new shrouded-hammer .38 Spl revolver, since the accuracy of my current Smith model 38 is dismal. Yes, I have shot it from a benchrest. I am considering: Taurus 851SSUL Taurus 851BUL Smith and Wesson Model 638 Does anyone have any experience with any of...

To begin, thanks to everyone for their advice about my questions regarding my newly acquired J-Frame Model 38 shrouded-hammer revolver. I am having some accuracy problems with this gun - it is shooting about three inches low and four inches left of POA at about 7-8 yards, with groups at about...

I just bought the J-Frame Model 38 Airweight .38 Spl shrouded-hammer revolver I posted about earlier. I took it to the range today, and at 7 yards the gun shoots about three inches low, and four-inches left. The gun also has fixed sights. What can be done, if anything to correct this...

I am getting ready to purchase a Smith and Wesson .38 Spl Model 36 J-Frame Airweight shrouded-hammer revolver from my father. I currently own a Model 36 .38 Spl that has the standard frame and hammer. My father bought this gun used several years ago - probably at least twenty years ago...

I wrote a letter to Senator John Warner's office a few weeks ago - to urge him to not support any further gun legislation, especially re-authorization fo the Clinton Gun Ban. He replied in a letter basically saying that he takes each case, and judges its merit, and doesn't align himself...
