You are forbidden from possessing firearms only if you have been found mentally incompetent by a judge or have been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility. Simply being prescribed antidepressants is a long way from being disqualified.

The Colt Python that I recently bought from a former co-worker. I could see that it was in perfect condition, but the trigger was a wonderful surprise. Absolutely no take-up or creep in single action. The instant the trigger moves, the hammer falls.

Thanks, Chicken-Farmer. I don't think they're charged my credit card yet, and their website has shown my order status as "IS BEING PICKED" for about a week. The email I've received from them said they "worked through the weekend" on the problem, which makes it sound like a major issue, but I...

I recently decided to build my first AR-15 and placed an order at Brownells, mostly for tools. That was on Monday, 10/3. When it hadn't shipped by Friday, I inquired via email and was told that they were having computer problems and couldn't access customer information or order history -...

If you're considering indoor, Front Range Gun Club in Loveland is a friendly place. Handguns, any rifle except .50BMG, slugs only in shotguns. Tell Ed I sent you.

I used a Browning Buckmark for Handgun, a Ruger 77/22 bolt action for Benchrest Smallbore Rifle and a S&W Model 41 for Bullseye Pistol. All .22LR.

If you want qualified opinions on the value of this gun as a collectible, post detailed photos of it here.

I bought a Lee Classic Cast (single stage) about 15 months ago and have loaded about 5000 rounds - 9mm, .45ACP and .44Mag. I use Hornady Lock-n-Load bushings in it. I'm perfectly happy with the set up. It's not fast; I do about 50 rounds per hour, but that's mostly because I'm a little...

Colt Python I just bought a 6" blued Colt Python from a friend. I bought it because it I love the "Royal Blue" finish, and this one was in perfect condition. The surprise was that its single-action trigger is perfect. Absolutely no creep at all; a 4 pound pull, and the instant the trigger...

There is no federal law requiring handguns to be registered. Beyond that, you'd need to tell us what state you live in.

I did just some basic physics and came to an interesting conclusion. All other things being equal, the muzzle energy of a given cartridge in a given gun is independent of the bullet weight. However, the muzzle momentum, and therefore the recoil, is proportional to the square root of the bullet...

I bought a PM9 with Crimson Trace a few weeks ago. Almost 200 rounds through it and not a single malfunction.

When I served on a federal grand jury, we indicted lots of people for violations of 18USC922. We were told that any gun that had crossed a state line qualified. All the prosecution had to do was show that the gun had been found in a different state from its manufacture.

Buy whichever you prefer and lock it up.

My point was just that rearward motion of the gun - for any reason - will affect bullet speed, independent of friction between bullet and barrel.

That's an interesting question. Here's a thought experiment that creates an extreme case of limp wristing: Mount the handgun in a machine that is capable of accelerating the gun backward at the moment of firing. Program the machine to jerk the gun back at a rate so that the breech's backward...

Just got a set of $120 sights for my 1911 for $90 from Brownell's because of the discount. And I get some discount on almost everything from Midway - usually 10-15%.

Deleted.

It's due to a principle of physics called the Ideal (or Perfect) Gas Law, which says that for a fixed quantity of gas, volume and pressure are inversely proportional. So, for instance, if you squeeze some gas down to half its original volume, its pressure will double. If you allow it twice its...
