I was shopping for a gun safe today. Ran into a gentleman who stated his father may still have a few surplus military weapons lockers. He said they're quite plain but are gen-u-wine steel plate and much more resistant to forced entry than the $1000 RSC's with pretty paint. No fire protection at...

Hi all, Was at the local shop yesterday and saw a pretty Colt 1911. Asked about it as there were a stack of mags next to it that didn't look like normal 45acp, and the answer I got was that it was originally chambered in 38super (I think) and then rechambered to fire .38 wadcutters! He said...

Ammoman has some Portuguese FMJ 7.62x39 up for sale. Thinking about ordering a crate, any experience with this ammo would be appreciated. I am going to pick up a Yugo SKS tomorrow (please, I don't want this to turn into another SKS thread, let's keep it on the ammo, I'll post pics when I get...

Damn! Went to the range today and the only hearing protection I had was a pair of foamies. They were the nice kind, on the plastic string, but I guess they were due retirement (I usually only wear foamies for one or two range sessions) because they just plain weren't working well. I probably...

And it's being given by Ms. Sarah Kemp Brady ('64) Why her? Last year we had astronaut David Brown speak. The year prior, Michael Powell. If she keeps it non-political I won't mind a bit, but given the current '94 ban situation, I dunno if that's possible. How do I voice my displeasure...

$25 off any new S&W, right? Does that only count if it's purchased from your friendly neighborhood gunshop? Because I think it would be the bees' knees to buy a new S&W from CDNN and get $25 off their already sweet prices. :D Somehow I don't think that will work though. :( Anybody know for sure?

So I found a good S&W revolver at the local gunshop. The finish and handle are beat up. It's in great shape internally, looks like it hasn't been fired. But it was stolen at one point, and the shop owner just recently got it back from the police. I'm considering the gun, once I learn more...

So I have had a hankering for a revolver... Not sure what to get though. My local gunstore owner recommends Taurus, which is partially because he knows I don't have a lot of cash, but also partially because from what he's seen at his shop and with his customers, he feels they have a good track...

I went to the NRA range tonight with a friend from school, but it was closed. Afterwards, we decided to open carry (legally) to Starbucks and get some coffee. This was apparently a very bad idea. We had been sitting and drinking our coffee for about 10 minutes when an officer approached and...

Hey all, Sorry no pics. Went to the range with my roommate today and we broke in my new P22. Shot 500 rounds of Aguila Hyper Velocity, and I'd estimate 50 rounds of CCI, 90 rounds of Federal High Velocity and 40 of Winchester. I had multiple failures to go fully into battery with the...

My roommate went to the local gunstore yesterday and since it's a 50 mile drive, I asked him to pick up a holster for my new P22 if they had one. He called me from the store and said they had a nice leather belt slide for $40 and it was for a Walther PPK (Gould & Goodrich, says 801 232 on it). I...

So I went to the gun show the other day. Sold my Marlin 336 and ended up buying a Walther P22 with the 3.4" barrel. Got it for $260 OTD with an extra magazine. Really fun looking little gun but I haven't been able to go to the range yet (my usual range is closed all summer, and I'm trying to...

Hopefully some fellow Virginians can help me out. I have a legal question regarding CCW at work. According to the VA state police; Does that mean the place I work, or does it only apply if I'm the proprietor? Also - I work in the kitchen of a local bar/restaurant. So if I read...

What the heck? I can't believe this... linky If I were in Britain, I'd be fighting this as strongly as I could. I love the comment about "clever people"... :what:

I went shooting with some friends today. I'm not sure why, but I performed poorly in my opinion. Maybe it was just a bad day. I began with my CZ 452 (22lr bolt action) shooting playing cards at 25 yd. I moved back to 50 yd. after shooting 5 rounds each at the first 6 cards. I was shooting OK...

Hey all - I've been thinking for a while that I want to get a C&R FFL. Of course this is impossible at the moment because I live in a college dorm, but I have secured an apartment for next year. I may move there in about a month, but depending on the job/internship situation I may have to wait...

My girlfriend had never fired a gun before this weekend. She visited me this week (spring break) and my friends and I made sure to take her to the range. I went over all the safety rules, manual of arms for each weapon and basics of marksmanship in the apartment. I started her off on my CZ 452...

OK, here goes: I'm in Virginia. A friend wants to buy 3 handguns from a family friend of his. They belonged to the woman's now deceased husband, and have bad memories associated with them. Unfortunately, said friend is only 19. He already owns long guns, is in ROTC, and is a responsible kid...

Hey all! As many of you know, I turned 21 recently and have been looking for a 1911. I had decided on a stainless Colt, but my gunshop's usual distributor was out of the model I wanted and he was having trouble finding one. And he had the gorgeous SW1911 which was tempting me, so I bought it...

I've done a search and read the cruffler.com review, and it seems everyone who's handled one is pretty enthusiastic about these little pistols especially given the price point. But from what I had seen most of the posts and range reports were from "early" in the life of the handgun. How do...
