Dear Friends, Living in Switzerland, I can't understand why full auto weapons are so expensive and scarce in the US (or at least in certain States). I have heard many different explanations (taxes etc.) but none from knowledgeable people. Could someone explain to me in a few words why the...

Dear Friends, Although an ethusiastic collector for many years, I will be buying my first 1911 next week. Could one of you explain what exactly is the so called "idiot mark"? Thanks in advance, Nick

Dear Friends, I am thinking of buying an ASAI One Pro .45. It seems that the company in Solothurn (Switzerland) still exists but I have never heard of them. Have any of you had experience with those guns? I read on a forum that someone had owned three and that the slide had broken on all of...

I live in Switzerland where it is possible to buy and use full auto weapons or to convert semi's into full's if you obtain special authorisations. I have just obtained such an authorisation and I would like to convert my Glock 17 into a full auto. My market research has shown me that two kits...

Dear Friends, The other day at the range, I witnessed a heated debate between two of my friends about the possibility, in theory, of converting a semi auto into a full auto (it was a theoretical discussion because, in Switzerland, it would be a rather serious offence to do such a conversion...

Dear Friends, I was discussing this afternoon with a friend of mine the advantages and disadvantages of DAO pistols and revolvers over usal DA ones. I must say we were hard put to it to find many advantages for them. I would be interested in reading your various opinions...

I am going camping in France with a friend in a few weeks (We live in Switzerland). Local laws prohibit me from carrying a firearm. What knife would you recommend me buying (just to defend myself against human beings, there are no dangerous wild animals were I am going...)? I don't know much...

I have just bought a brand new Glock 19. I do not carry a gun on a daily basis for, in Switzerland, CCW is rather difficult to obtain and being an attorney I am all day long having to enter Government building where it would be highly inadvisable to bring a firearm. I really only carry a gun...

Dear American Friends, I have no particular tie with the US except that, as a Swiss citizen, I think both our countries share the values of armed freedom, democracy and determination to remain free against all ods. I know most Europeans, disinformed by the media, are hoping for a Kerry...

I am a collector of WWII guns and am looking for a Sten MK II full auto. I have been proposed one in good condition for USD 400. Does that seem a fair deal to you (taking into account that in Switzerland where I live, guns are more expensive than in the US). Moreover, do any of you know what to...
