    Kahr CW9/CW40 ???

    I own the CW40 and have use to own the CW9 and would think either would be a fine choice. Here are my takes on the CW40 since it's what I am most familiar with. Pros: - Size- the pistol is narrow and can be comfortably carried in a wide variety of holsters and positions. It nearly...

    Ruger GP100 4": Standard sights and small grips?

    My guess is more than likely no barrel swap was performed, but then again...you never know I have seen weirder things. Ruger produced GP100's with the 4" barrel and the fixed sights. Their more common 4" model does sport the adjustable sights, and larger grips. With the smaller grips, they...

    Attic access

    This is excellent advice for anyone in a similar housing situation. When I was in college we lived in a large complex that had open attic space that would allow access to all the condos on the 2nd level. One afternoon, an apartment of young ladies arrived home and went upstairs to find the...

    Great job huh?

    OH DEAR! I sure hope the picture looks worse than it does in person. I would hope he has offered to replace the slide, or do something to make that right. I would be in a rage.

    Sold: Grandpa's WWII BHP Bring Back

    I am sorry, that is heartbreaking to lose not only a piece of history, but something that was so personal to you and your father. I get nauseated just watching Pawn Stars seeing what heirlooms are hawked by the owners children for some cash. Yes they are the legitimate owners of the item, and...

    Do You Patronize Your Local Gun Shops?

    I rarely find what I am looking for in my local shops, and when I do, it has a tendency to be far over priced. I have gotten accustomed to purchasing online and using my local FFL for their fantastic $10 transfers. I'm a huge supporter of buying local, but there is a point of absurdity when...

    budsgunshop

    I'm sure there are complaints out there, but you rarely just casually run into someone who has had a problem with Bud's. Personally, they have been professional and timely, and I have no problem recommending them. I don't know if your FFL's beef is price competition or a personal horror story...

    Finally finished my 2nd and 3rd knives

    Beautiful work! You could have said they were your 202nd and 203rd made, and I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. You sure have a talent for it.

    Now this is just sad

    This is appalling! Do they plan to next train their police and military forces in laser tag arenas? There is going overboard, and then there is this.

    python worth $300

    Man, if he is a good friend I would give him at least another $400. They easily fetch $1000 online at Gunbroker. If he is just one of those acquaintances that we all use the loose word "friend" to describe, then take it for $300 and run.

    Why is it so hard to find 3" Ruger GP100

    A little longer So thinking that it was divine intervention or just incredible luck, I jumped on the impact guns deal as quick as I could. After not getting a delivery confirmation for 4 days I gave them a ring to see if there was a hold up with my FFL. Come to find out there was a mistake...

    Catching flak for ccw

    I have watched a particular family member go through the same scenario. In fact, it at one point turned into an issue where when he would show up or would get called to go certain places with certain people, he was asked to leave the gun at home. This was all at the same time that I was carrying...

    Next Gun? You Decide.

    Nice choice with the CZ. I don't own one yet, but have shot several and have been impressed each time. I would definitely outfit what you have before you start putting away for another. (i.e. get a holster, spare mags, etc). However, since that wasn't the point of the post I will give you my...

    How do you feel about polymer framed pistols?

    I love metal framed guns. I love the feel and heft to them. However...I love polymer guns too. To me they both have different uses and beauty to them. Personally, I don't enjoy carrying around a metal framed gun all day long, but I sure enjoy shooting them.

    Sig 226, H&K P30 or Glock 19

    All 3 great choices! They would serve you well in multiple capacities. For me, under your conditions of use, I would go with the P226. First for range burning, I like the feel of a heavier all metal frame. I find that it is more comfortable to shoot a heavier gun during practice, and I tend...

    Feral dog hunting... memories from my youth

    Luckily never had a problem with feral dogs. I have heard a lot of horror stories. It is incredible how quickly the pack and predator mentality can come out in even the most gentle dog if the circumstances are right. Back when I was a kid we lived on 5 acres an hour or so outside of Boston and...

    P220 or Pro Carry II?

    I currently own both pistols and have been extremely happy with both of them. Zero reliability problems and have found both to be very accurate and fun to shoot. Between the two offerings, I'm going to go against the grain of what has been recommended above and select the Kimber Pro Carry II...

    Why is it so hard to find 3" Ruger GP100

    THANK YOU goodtime for finding this. I had been looking there just a day ago and showing that they were backordered. Talk about perfect timing. Now I will have to use my new found patience waiting for it to arrive. :)

    Why is it so hard to find 3" Ruger GP100

    Those are some beautiful revolvers. I just love the look of that 3" barrel. It feels like the perfect compromise between a trail gun and range burner. I would love to haul around a 4"-6", but it just won't work for me. Just for the fact that it's such a hassle to find one seems to be a...
