    Painting polymer frames

    I own a number of polymer framed handguns, and in that catagory of questions for which the answer is a vaguely defined want, I am curious if there is a way to paint the frames. I find the colors most manufacturers who make polymer framed guns offer to just mis the mark for me in appeal. Also...

    Firearms you don't use.

    I agree with Dr. Bob in that I won't buy a gun (collectable or not) that I wouldn't consdier shooting.I am not a collector, I think of myself as more of an accumulator. Having said that some of my favorite guns to shoot are not particularly collectable or fashionable in a tactical / combat...

    Carrying a G26

    Of late I find myself spending more and more time in the company of a Glock 36. I've owned a 17,19,21, and 26. Currently I also have a 22 and 27. For years the only thing I though I could really really hide was 442 in an ankle rig. The 36 has to be the redheaded stepchild in the glock line...

    K-38 Reblue or not Reblue? Advice Please

    I have a Smith & Wesson K-38 built in 1955. I bought it last year for $350. It locks up tight, and is an accurate shooter. It has what I would estimate to be about 80% / 85% of it's blueing still intact. There are no scars, scratches or marks on the gun only honest holster wear, and a fair...

    S&W Model 38

    I wish I could find a nice nickel model .38. It's tough here in CA and I have a list of S&W's I wish I never sold and that's at the top of it. At one time I paid to much for a pony model 38 from an estate sale back east.There was a run of them made for a PD in the north east, nickle barrel...

    Sig owners: P239 vs P229 question

    I also own both and would say the 239 is a much more comfortable companion. One of the things I personally notice that does not get as much attention around carry is the LOADED weight of whatever weapon one is considering.I own some wonderful doublestack guns that quickly become bricks with...

    How many people order extra mags with their guns?

    I try to to always have at least three mags for each semi auto. Ideally I like 5 but that can get expensive. It depends on the gun and the intended purpose.
