    Is this ususal? (Carry permit application)

    There is a concealed carry bill currently in the Illinois House (I know, I know...it will never pass) but it contains this requirement: The application shall contain only the following information: (i-iv omitted) (v) a waiver of privacy and confidentiality rights and privileges...

    How'd my $10 eBay grips turn out?

    Just got this back from Dave Clements today. It is an Old Model .357 Blackhawk converted to .44 Spl. I am very happy with the grips (massive understatement!). I got them off eBay ($10 + ship), they were advertised as "tea stained ivory micarta" and were dirty, stained, and hugely oversized. I...

    Two "new" M&Ps this week :)

    Both these came into the local shop on consignment. They are old cop guns and show it, but that's just what I like. First is a 1905, fourth change made in 1934. Not bad for $270. Next is a 2" made in 1948, it was a little more...$330. Love those classic Smiths! I'd...

    Need help with Illinois laws

    My local shop has changed hands and the new owner has some funny ideas. He thinks that the Illinois waiting period (72 hours for handguns and 24 hours for long guns) means three business days, instead of the actual hours. He also thinks the waiting period doesn't start until he gets the...

    Have we lost a huge 2A advocate? Sen. Larry Craig's shame

    I think this is terrible news. Sen. Craig was always a very strong advocate for Second Amendment rights. http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2007/08/sen-craig-arres.html

    Today's "protest" at Chuck's in Riverdale, IL

    "Father Flaky", as Father Pfleger is known in Chicago, and Je$$e Jack$on were at it again today. They staged another march to Chuck's Gunshop in Riverdale, IL just two weeks after Pfleger's incitement to murder at the last protest. There were 50-60 protesters there and about two dozen...

    Ever seen one of these 629s before?

    It is a 629-5 "Mountain Backpacker". I just bought it and all I have been able to find out about it (on the S&W forum) is that 500 were made. The interesting thing about it is that there is the faint remnant of some laser engraving on the right sideplate. Anybody know anything about this...

    Just to make you drool :)

    Picked up this gem recently for less than a new S&W would cost, it's a 1950 Target Model in .44 Spl: It must be true, they ARE still out there!

    First Rossi.....Anyone have any experience with them?

    Just got a used Rossi (Interarms) revolver from a local shop. I have never owned one before but this one looks pretty well made. The fit and finish are fine, the lockup is tight, and the timing is right on; it even has a pinned barrel like the older Smith's. The trigger pull is even good. It...
