I was reading an older book, "Great Combat Handguns" by Leroy Thompson and Rene Smeets, and stumbled on a picture of some 9mm ammunition that I've never seen before. Can anyone identify the bullet design shown on the right? What is it called, and what was it supposed to accomplish? :scrutiny...

Does anyone have recent experience with the Kareen MK III pistols being sold by Southern Ohio Gun (and probably other importers)? I've read conflicting posts on whether the MK III is built by Israelis or Bulgarians, whether it uses FEG parts or not, etc. :confused: SOG is asking $269 - which I...

How do small FFL dealers purchase their new guns, and what sorts of costs are they getting them at? By small dealers I mean, the dealers who maintain an inventory of new guns and that are regulars at local gun shows - but who do not maintain a store front. Where do they purchase their new...

Hello - I picked up a used S&W Model 10 this week, and would like to replace it's beat up rubber grips with nicer wood ones before taking it to the range. Does anyone have experience with Altamont grips? I like the look of their grips (and their prices) -but would love to hear any first hand...

I was reminded recently of the great service that S&W offers - the historic research that Roy Jinks will do for a reasonable fee. Aside from Smith and Wesson - what other gun manufacturers offer "letters of authentication" or a printed letter detailing the history of a particular serial...

Well - I finally got around to picking up a CZ-82! Mine came from SOG last week, and is great shape (I went with Handpick). A few small areas on the slide and frame show holster wear, but otherwise the finish is nice and strong. What are people's thoughts on the best way to do a thorough...

Greetings! While reading up on Tokarevs and CZ-52s, I stumbled on the .223 Timbs cartridge. :what: Are there any other handgun cartridge loadings that are similar (and hopefully commercially available) - where a smaller caliber bullet with sabot is moved at much higher velocity? Also - it...

Does anyone have any insights into what C&R handguns can be expected over the next few years? Will there be other more modern guns such as the CZ-82?

Thought I'd share my first C&R purchase - which just arrived a few days ago. I picked up a Romanian Tokarev in 7.62x25 from Southern Ohio Gun. They processed the order in only a day or two.. much faster than what I expected given the volume of business coming their way! I paid $219.95 plus a $10...

I've had my C&R for a year or two - and am just now getting around to making my first purchase with it. :banghead: I'm looking at the Tokarev (TT33)... it looks like a fun little pistol. I've read posts in the past about converting these from 7.62x25 to 9mm. If anyone can clear up a few...

Has anyone tried one of these? If the fit is good, this could be a nice alternative to laser grips. http://www.laserlyte.com/new_products/ADP-S637-140.html From the item description:

Anyone have any experience with this that they'd like to share? I would have thought that a magnet strong enough to hold the gun in place would be strong enough to pull internal parts (ie, magazine springs) around. :scrutiny: The Gun Magnet From the item description:

An excellent article from a columnist at the Times-Dispatch. Some familiar arguments (to THR), but I thought this was a good point: http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/opinion/oped.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2007-09-07-0011.html

A fatal shooting from a few weeks ago in Richmond, VA - story still unfolding: http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/news/policebeat.apx.-content-articles-RTD-2007-09-08-0136.html Excerpt from the article: I hate that a foiled armed robbery could end with the manager going to Jail. This could...

Hello, I've got a Remington 870 for home defense, and also have two small kids that I want to keep safe from the 870. Currently, the gun is in a zippered gun case with a trigger lock on it. It's empty, and the ammo is stored in a different closet. Given that the time to getting it up and going...
