Hi All, I have an opportunity to pick up a slightly used GP100 (stainless, 4in barrel, newer production around 2010ish). It belonged to an elderly person who passed away. The person had picked up the gun (their first) in their golden years because of the felt need for some type of home...

Got a chance to take my new Glock 42 to the range today. Fired 98 rounds, with results as follows: 50rds of Blazer, fired 100% with no malfunctions. Followed by 20rds of Winchester PDX1. Function with the Winchester was not so good. No problems with feeding or extraction/ejection, but...

The weather is breaking and I’m in the mind to do some shooting this week (I have the week off). It has me thinking, that in my opinion, in this day of “Nano’s”, “Shields”, “LCP’s, “XD” (models x 10), etc., etc., that there are three modern classics that would serve anyone well who is interested...

I'm trying to decide on a carry load for my Ruger SP101 revolvers 2 1/4in and 3in barrels, and S&W Centennial. I want something optimized for short barrel revolvers, and it seems like the best choices are the Speer Short barreled revolver loads, and Hornady FTX Critical Defense. I was...

As I previously posted on these forums, I had a chance to pickup an old 1903 Springfield that belonged to me back in the 1980’s. As I wrote, I sold it to a friend when we were going off to college. After college the friend moved out of state and we lost touch until recently. During our...

I posted back in the fall about an opportunity I had to purchase a 1903 Springfield from a childhood friend. We had planned on making the deal in November - but he and his wife were on a cruise - and then the holidays put things on hold. We are now planning on getting together in Feb. I will...

I noticed on my new Reminton ADL that the barrel no longer is marked "Made in the U.S.A. as they used to be. Anyone know if they are still made in the U.S.A., or elsewhere? Or if there is a reason Remington chose to retain all of the other old barrel stamps/markings, but dropped the Made in...

I enjoy reading the EDC (Every Day Carry) forums, and thought this would be an fun EDC type hunting topic thread with hunting season being upon many of us. Mine... Gun - Remington 700ADL w/x pro trigger in 243WIN caliber Ammo - Winchester 95gr Ballistic Silvertips Knife - Buck 110...

and does anyone know a good online source. I've been looking but it seems everyone is out of them. What is a good price to pay? I haven't bought any in a good many years. Thanks for any info.

I had lunch with an old friend that I hadn't seen in 20+ years yesterday. During the course of the conversation he mentioned that he still had the 1903 Springfield that I had sold him when we were teens. He couldn’t remember what I had sold it to him for, but I’m sure at the time the sum was...

Word of advise to other shotgun newbies around here...listen to the guys with experience. I'm been trying to figure out a way to have a good amount of defensive shotgun ammo on hand on or near the HD shotgun. So far I've purchased the buttstock shell holder that holds 9 rounds, a sling that...

Hi All, I want to have the option of putting a sling on my Maverick. It came with the two studs, and it doesn't seem like a difficult task to drill the hole on the buttstock, but I do have a couple of questions... Is it necessary to put glue/epoxy in the hole? Can I just screw in the...

Got this idea from jpwilly in the "tactical" shotgun picture thread, and thought it sounded like fun. Might even prove helpful for those who don't want to invest in add-ons, and instead just want a basic defensive shotgun. So show us your average/ordinary minimally-adulterated defensive...

Today, I'm carrying my rediscovered 303. It's a pretty useful knife pattern for most EDC needs. Also, carrying a Fenix E15 which I like very much. Nice natural color, and I like that it comes on in medium (140lumens) mode, first. Usually when I need a light at night, I want to see what I am...

Hi All, I’m new to Enfield firearms. Today I picked up a, what I think is a 1943 Shirley from what I’ve been reading on the Net. That said, I no virtually nothing about these rifles and I was hoping some of you could shed some light on my confusion. For one, this is a Century import...

I've got a second G26 that I purchased as a backup in case something ever happened to my CCW G26. It's been sitting in a safe for 5 years, and I'm tempted to trade it for a SP101 in 357. I'm hesitant though, because the G26 is my favorite handgun, and also because I don't want to regret making...

A local shop has a hex received Mosin Nagant 91/30 dated 1938. From what I've read the hex receivers were only used until 1935. Would one marked 1938 be considered "rare"? Thanks for any info.

Picked up a Nagant revolver at a local gun show today for $139.99. I remember these going for under $100 in recent years, but at todays show this one the only one I saw, and since I wanted to add one to my Man Cave WWII collection, I figured I'd buy it. It is stamped 1939, by Tula. At a glance...

I’ve used a Mika pocket holster for my S&W 642 since I began carrying it. The Mika holster works great, it’s held up well, and I am very satisfied with it (actually I have 3 Mika pocket holsters for my 642, and another for a Ruger SP101, but I've only used one of the 642 holsters since 2005)...

Early Christmas present from my wife and kids. Blade reads "Case Christmas 2009 Trapper" also with the red Case logo.
