Hi, how important is a safe dehumidifier? I live in San Jose where humidity is practically non-existent. Should I still have one anyway? Opinions appreciated. Thanks Eddie

Hi all. Ok, here goes. I know it may have been discussed in the past, but just too lazy to figure out how to retrieve archives. My sister lives in Texas, and she's finally decided to buy a gun. She is taking a gun course where she'll shoot wheel and auto pistols. She's asked my what model...

Wonder how long this box would last in CA?

I didn't know China sold ammo in the U.S. This is supposedly a result of using Chinese ammo.

I bought a Cannon safe from Costco and delivery was made about a week ago. I have it in the garage figuring it would be hard to steal a 500lb safe from a well-secured garage with dead bolt in side door and locking garage door. But today I read something from an old post in another gun-related...

I have a 39 yr old S&W 2" Chief's Special AirWeight. I bought it new in 1971 to use as my off-duty weapon. I think I have fired it about 10 times in all these years. The other day as I was checking it out which I do once a year or so just to make sure it still works, I noticed something. The...

For those interested in WWII pistols, see my thread with pictures of a PPK from WWII. It's under the Firearms Research Venue.

Hi guys, a friend wants to know if this pistol has any collector's value. He said his father confiscated it from an officer (the story, unconfirmed, is that he had killed the officer - {no documentation}) Click to view larger image. There is no Nazi swastika emblem, however, notice the eagle...

Why does California have the obligatory fired casing that comes with the purchase of a handgun? Is it somehow connected to the gun itself? Like if it's used in the commission of a crime and they find casings, can that lead to the owner of the gun? I find that hard to believe so wondering what...

I bought a couple of thousand rounds of .22 LR HP, Federal and Remington. I've been shooting the Rems using my Ruger MKIII Hunter. I shoot at 25 yds and consistently hit the bulls eye, a group of about 2 inches. I also use an old Marlin semi-auto rifle using scope shooting 100 yds and...

My SIL and I were discussing guns today and he said he's heard of MIs selling for around $200. I gasped :eek:and said I've been wanting to get a Garand forever but they're way too expensive for me. He said that this price is for members of some club or organization that uses Garands only...

Tonight's 10pm news had a short segment showing several men carrying their weapons in plain view. There were about 4 having coffee at a Starbucks. The reporter said no one paid attention to the men and a cop cruising right in front of the store did not see them, or did not care. Having lived...

I read that a 12' 6" 800 pounder was killed by a 5-year old using a .410 shotgun somewhere in East Texas. He fired from 5 feet killing the monster and a second shot by another member of the hunting party was fired for good measure. This happened yesterday and if anyone is interested, I'll...

There is a rule, one of many, that says you can't do rapid fire. You must have three seconds interval minimum. Why? Is this common to all ranges? When I shoot my autos I so desperately want to fire rapid, but alas, not at the range. I might add, it's a county-owned range. Perhaps that's...

I have posted in the past about inheriting my mother's old .32 S&W. My sister has the gun in Houston and we were trying to figure out how to ship it to me here in SJ CA. Here's what we found out. She went to UPS and they said they will not accept gun for shipment if you don't have a FFL. And...

I don't know if this is the right forum, but if need, it can be moved. About a week or so ago I was purchasing some merchandise using my Visa CC. The clerk asked for ID and as I was looking for my DL I decided to instead show my Utah Concealed Firearm Permit ID. It has my picture on it as...

Found this site for the Wildey gun. With a 5" barrel it's a whopping 4 lbs which equates to 1,814g. My G17 is 620g. Who would want to carry one of these beasts?:eek: http://www.wildeyguns.com/wildey.html

I am looking to buy a small carry gun that has the above feature. The Heckler & Koch USP compact does have an extended magazine floorplate, which is just what I'm looking for, but I'm not familiar with this gun. Any opinions on this compact appreciated. Thanks

I was browsing a gun site and there is a book one can order on how to get a FFL. Can an individual have a FFL? I have always thought only retail gun stores, or similar type stores could have a FFL. Anyone here have an FFL? If I were to somehow get my own FFL does that mean that I can buy any...
