I got this 75B as part of a trade about a year ago. It had an amazing trigger job (note the competition hammer) but looked like it had been "put away wet" most of it's life. A local gunsmith offers water-transfer printing .. I picked out a desert tan digital. I think it came out fantastic...

Over the weekend, I stumbled across this as-new-in-box Silver Chrome Hi Power from 1995. $600 out the door. Appears to be unfired. It was a consignment pistol from one of the local shops. It also came with a Browning-branded holster. I'm hoping to get some range time with this...

Hi folks. I just ordered some Renaissance Wax and was wondering what type of preparation is recommended prior to applying it to metal? I looked high and low on the web and searched THR and came up empty. I'm wondering if I'll need to remove any existing CLP/oil/grease residues prior to...

My wife and I came across a NIB, unfired, LadySmith 3913 at a gun show over the weekend. The price was a little high, but it was an unusual find. What caught my eye was "NRA 1 of 100" engraved on the slide just below the ejector. The pistol came with a beautiful Smith & Wesson gun "purse"...

Those of you who know me already know that I've long been an avid supporter of CZ and own quite a few of their products. My interest of late has been waning due to the massive price increases, although I occasionally stumble across a new pistol at a somewhat reasonable price. I recently...

Just a quick note/warning. Yesterday, I purchased several boxes of Winchester USA9JHP Personal Protection 9mm ammo. This is our normal 9mm carry load, and I've bought lots of it in the past. This evening, I was loading up a couple of magazines and noticed the brass didn't look very nice...

Hi folks. A week ago I inquired here regarding how to surrender a C&R 03 FFL which was not in use. As stated in the thread, I made one C&R eligible acquisition during the period in which the 03 FFL was active. That acquisition was a spur-of-the-moment, face-to-face in-state transaction, and...

Given the widespread reports of ATF abuse and demands for on-site inspection of C&R collections and bound books, I'd like to rescind my 03FFL since I'm not doing anything with it, nor do I plan to. I have one acquisition. No disposals. Bound book consists of a sheet of paper with one entry...

I sent the following in to Sig Sauer, but wanted to share here as well. If you have a P238, please check your safety WITH THE GUN UNLOADED. Steve I was evaluating a P238 last week and made a shocking discovery, which led me to not purchase this pistol. I wanted to drop you a line and...

A Bersa Thunder 9 Ultra Compact Pro followed me home today. It's a fairly compact 9mm autoloader, which I haven't yet had a chance to shoot. I wanted to post some initial thoughts on the pistol ... I'll post a reply to this one with my range notes. The Ultra Compact seems to have a lot to...

It's kind of anti-climactic to see a post subject like this without a message body.

I picked up a NIB brushed chrome Baby Eagle in 45ACP recently and took it to the range this afternoon. The recoil compared to every other 45 (1911's, officers and micro) was insane. I was shooting Remington UMC 45 hardball. Cases ejected 20+ feet to the right and 1' back. I was able to...

I just returned from a gun show, where I had the pleasure of looking over two Charles Daly Field ECS 1911's. I noticed the first pistol had a very nice trigger. A little takeup, but a crisp clean break. Unfortunately, on my second trigger pull, I noticed the hammer cammed FORWARD when I got...

Hi folks. My wife bought me a gorgeous 1972 model Browning Hi Power for Christmas. It came with the original Browning zipper case and the seller even included his original purchase receipts. I am absolutely in love with this pistol. It's dead-nuts accurate, perfectly reliable so far, and...

A friend of a friend is in need of some cash, and has an M1 he's looking to sell for $300. I know *nothing* about M1's. I looked the rifle over this evening.. there's some surface rust on the muzzle end of the barrel, but otherwise appears in decent condition. It's a SG model, which indicates...

I picked up a used Mossberg 590 last week. It has a plastic trigger housing and safety like the 500, but it is certainly a 590 (says 590, has a bayonet lug). I guess there are several 590 models out there, some with metal and some with plastic. Immediately after purchasing the 590, I field...

.... which best I can tell is bigger than a 92. It's in a locked display case at a local gun shop with the owner's other "toys". The staff doesn't have the key, and no photographs are allowed. On first glance, it appears to be a Beretta 92 in stainless. I own a 92FS... this gun looks...

Ask Anything: 10 questions with self-defense expert Kathy Olevsky. I'm not sure if this actually belongs in S&T because there really aren't many strategies and tactics in the article. Perhaps, for purposes of discussion, we can agree that the lack of a strategy or tactic is the strategy and...

Here's a tactic! http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,443747,00.html A policeman’s finger stopped his gun being fired at his colleagues when it was seized by a man they were trying to arrest, an Australian court was told Thursday. James Lyle Rakatau, 25, fled police when they tried to...
