Somebody always says this, but that's not been my experience either. At a local gunshow last weekend, used S&W revolvers were selling for a little more than used ones. That's typical around here. Sorry to hear about the Armscor guns. Wonder if the Rossi revolvers are any better?

I'm confident more trigger time will take care of the low shooting. I wrote the report above on Saturday, after shooting it on Friday. By Sunday, my hand was pretty sore. I guess 230gr loads in a 23oz. gun do have a little recoil. :D No big deal. I don't plan on shooting 200 rounds in...

I had an earlier PT145 when Taurus first came out with them. With that first gun, I was impressed with the small size, the light trigger, the "shootability", and the accuracy. I think it may have been my first .45, and I liked it. But... pins backed out, the rear sight rotated, and then the...

Actually, what I was looking for was something like "124gr. 9mm weighs about .3 oz.". Well, if nobody has the data, maybe I can check some rounds on the postal scale in the mail room.

I've been carrying a gun as often as possible for several years now. With me, every ounce makes a big difference in daily carry, but I want to carry as much gun as I possibly can. Has anybody weighed .38 and 9mm ammo? If we know what one round weighs, (124 gr. is a good start) then we'll...

Where are you located? Near me, (S. E. Tenn.) Kahrs just don't sell very well. High price, not a very well known name, not high cap., etc. They can be found here, but if looking for a particular model, you just about have to pay in advance, if you can find a dealer who will order one...

My wife has a 642 that she loves. But.... she had me put target grips on it, to soften the recoil! Talk about an odd looking gun. :barf: Anyway, I want one of my own. (And this is post number 642. That means I should get one today, don't you think?) :cool: So, the 642 weighs around...

Thanks guys. I'll see if I can come up with more info.

Hey guys, A buddy just traded for a S&W military .45 revolver, (model 1917 maybe?). He says it has excellent blueing, no rusting or pitting. The grips have some wear, but overall, the gun is like-new. He says it has several military markings on it. A Blue Book that is several years old...

OK, somebody answer this one for me. At the end of the first season, or beginning of the second, there was a scene where the President's guards all pulled their guns. (She was about to be arrested or assassinated or something.) They looked like small, CCW-style 9mm guns. Same episode had an...

You've got an excellent gun. I just passed the 1500 round count with mine. I replaced the recoil springs around 1200 rounds, just to be safe. Mine has been flawless. In my opinion,it's one of the best, if not the best, 9mm handguns for CCW on the market.

I've owned one of the compact, alloy frame, DAO .45s. (Model 357 maybe?) It wasn't quite as compact or light as a Glock, but had an excellent out-of-the-box trigger. It was accurate, reliable, and felt very ergonomic. Given it's relatively light weight, it was very comfortable to shoot...

My wife was anti-gun when we married, but there was never any doubt that we would have guns in the house. I had taught two of my kids to shoot and handle guns safely, and was waiting for my youngest daughter to get a little older. I tried to make sure she knew who I was before I proposed...

I've owned and carried KelTecs in .32 and .380, and NAA Guardians in .32. Yes, .380 ammo is cheaper and easier to find. :( Still, I chose the .32 Guardian. In my opinion only (YMMV), the NAA just gives me more pride of ownership. Yes, the weight is an issue, but since I got used to...

We've got a nuke plant about 1 hour to the north, and a closer one to the south. There is actually a large air horn mounted on a pole about 1 mile from our home. It is tested at noon on the first Wed. of each month, and it will rattle the pictures on the walls. If the horn ever went off...

Recently bought a used .32 Guardian. I called them and asked a few questions. In a few minutes a package was on the way to the house. I asked for: replacement mag release button, two flat mag bottoms, stainless hex grip screws. I figured the mag release button would be free, but I knew...

My brother has a 9mm that he bought used. He loves it. I wasn't too impressed with the trigger, and it was ugly, but you can't beat the price new, and used prices are a real bargain. I had the jones bad for a while. I finally called the factory, and asked the nice lady if they had...

Please don't use gun-grabber terminology like "Saturday Night Specials". :fire: Terms like "Assault weapon" "Saturday Night Special" and "Junk Gun" have no place in the vocabulary of responsible gun owners. An RG or Jennings or Raven may be all of the gun that some people can afford. I...

On Gunbroker.com, you can find a half dozen Bauers for $169 - 200.

I use the 124gr +P Gold Dots in my PM9, and in my Glock 19. You can tell it's a more powerful round than the WWB I normally shoot, but shot recovery and accuracey are excellent. Georgia Arms makes an excellent Gold Dot load at a great price. (It's new ammo, not reloads.)
