I have a 1943 Underwood M1 Carbine and a Winchester Model 37, 20 gauge shotgun and I am wanting to swap them both for different gun(s). I am wanting to know if I would be better off auctioning my guns off online for money and then buying what I want or just trading them locally to a dealer or at...

I see that the Springfield XD is the most viewed gun on Gundirectory.com. It has been viewed (as I type this) 77,304 times. This makes it the most popular of all the handguns on that site. I also see that it has garnered 403 comments. This is the most commented on handgun on that website BY...

I was wondering about all of the companies really: Accu-tek AMT Astra Autauga Baer Beretta Bernardelli Bersa Browning Charles Daly Cobra Colt Coonan CZ Dan Wesson Derringer EAA Entreprise Glock Hi-Point HK Kahr Kel-Tec Kimber...

I've been wondering where all the gun manufacturer's are currently having their guns made. NOTE: There is a huge difference between where a gun is made versus where the company is geographically located that owns that assembly plant. Actually, it could be all over the world anymore...

I can't help but comment that our troops in Iraq are mostly shooting .22 caliber lead. Obviously the military thought .22 caliber was just as deadly as .30 caliber or they wouldn't have switched over to it over 50 years ago from .30 caliber. They use their .22 centerfire cartridges in...

Hmm, I just went to the SIG arms website but I don't see their Trailside Target pistol listed. Did they stop producing it?

I started out wanting a Ruger Mk I, Mk II, or Mk III, but I have heard that they are an absolute pain to strip down, clean and reassemble. I have also heard that they come with a long and sloppy trigger from the factory and could use a trigger job right out of the box. On the plus side, I...

I'm looking for recommendations on getting a .22LR autoloader pistol. What is everyone's favorites and why?

I am relatively new to guns, so please be polite. :) What is the most lethal and deadly .22LR cartridge on the market for personal defense in a concealed carry pocket pistol? (Please spare me the sarcastic comments, wise-cracks and jabs about how wimpy the .22LR is for this role. I...

I am new to this forum and guns in general. Isn't there a website somewhere that is like a comprehensive encyclopedia, catalog or digest of every gun made along with a photograph of that gun? If there isn't, there ought to be. I have browsed around the internet but haven't really seen such an...

I am a newbie to Police and Military revolvers. I am interested in these revolvers mainly because they are usually built better with much closer tolerances than civilian revolvers. I was wanting to start a list of U.S. makes and models of both Police and Military revolvers that were...

Thanks for the pictures of that nice Police Service Six. I did some research and checked the dimensions on that gun. It seems like it was just made for my hand (smaller than the Smith K or L's but bigger than the J's). Perfect! That's just what I had in mind. Your pictures appears to be a 3"...

Great ideas so far. Thanks. The Ruger SP 101 is now in the running. I will have to go look at one. What is the difference between the Ruger Security Six and the Ruger Police Service Six? Or are they the same guns? How much are these currently going for, any ideas?

I am thinking of getting a Smith and Wesson revolver for my first handgun. I like the versatility of the .38/.357 lineup in that you can shoot .38, .38+p, and even .357 Magnum loads all through the same gun (target practice with the .38 and then later put .38+p or .357 in it for personal...

What is the difference between a Smith and Wesson K frame and L frame revolver? Both are listed on Smith and Wesson's website as "medium" frame revolvers. So other than that, what is the difference, does anyone know? How do you know if you are holding a K or L frame at a gun show if they are...

Hmm, that's interesting, I wonder how much just to have S & W just ship me a smooth, replacement side plate only.

Interesting. So it can be done after all. It seems like I've seen guns in the past at gun shows that had a "bruise" area where some engraving might have been and someone who didn't know what they were doing tried to remove the engraving but simply left a "bruised" area in the finish instead...

Hmm, sounds like it may not be a good idea. I was just wondering if something like that could be done without destroying the looks of the gun. Maybe I had better leave it....

Can anyone advise me if the words "Lady Smith" can be in-filled or somehow polished out or otherwise refinished or resurfaced so that these words can be eliminated on the stainless steel Smith and Wesson 65LS .357 Magnum revolver? I have never had any such work like this performed and I don't...
