    I feel like I won the lottery

    Okay, a little update this afternoon. I just off work and double checked the serial number against the receipts and markings on the box. All the serial numbers match, and while the label on the box doesn't say PRO anywhere on it the SKU number matches the model I received, a 442 PRO. Also, it...

    I feel like I won the lottery

    So a couple of weeks ago I decided to buy S&W 442 for pocket carry. I had been carrying a Ruger sp101 and have taken a liking to pocket carry, but that danged revolver is just too heavy for it to be comfortable. I even tried carrying it in a jacket pocket but it pulled that side of my jacket...

    The Gun that Got Away?

    I nearly made the deal of my life about a month ago. I check a certain local gun classifieds site almost daily, and one night I noticed an ad for a really clean Ruger Security Six, nickel finish (of course it was actually stainless), four inch barrel, original wood grips for the advertised...

    Heinlein and Librarians

    I'm a public librarian in the DFW metroplex, and we have several books on gunsmithing, histories of gun manufacturers like Reminton and one about the invention of the derringer pistol that I've enjoyed reading, as well as a few gun blue books. I dunno about kids books off the top of my head...

    Judge Joe Brown and CCW

    So I was channel surfing this afternoon when I happened upon an episode of Judge Joe Brown in which a CCW applicant was suing his instructor for providing incorrect information. The plaintiff claimed that when he called his instructor to sign up for the class, the instructor told him that...

    Pawn Shop staff playing with Guns

    Wow, thanks guys. I had no idea this was an acceptable practice. However, from the loud ratcheting sound the gun was making, it sounded like maybe he was pulling/releasing the hammer like each of you suggested. In either case, I know for a fact that I closed the crane as far as it could go...

    Pawn Shop staff playing with Guns

    Last week I visited my local pawn superstore to take a look at what guns they had behind the counter. This shop is the largest in the area (East Dallas) and usually has about 50 long guns on racks and several dozen handguns at any given time. On this day, I took a look at a nice looking 4 inch...

    Norinco Model 6 O/U, question about barrel attachment

    Actually, after looking up the k-80, I have to say that the barrels are attached in exactly the same way as the Model 6 I saw today. I guess that answers my second question, thanks oneounceload! I certainly hope the gun will last for 40 shots, but how long after that I have no idea. Is...

    Norinco Model 6 O/U, question about barrel attachment

    While making the usual rounds through some local shops, I came across an interesting O/U that I had to check out. It was a Norinco Model 6 in 12 gauge, imported by Clayco. It was so hard to break open that I literally had to put it over my knee. It had bright bores, and the insides still had...

    Bad Gunsmithing on MAK-90

    A couple months ago I decided I wanted to put a side rail on my Norinco MAK-90. I ordered a side rail from kalinka optics and started pricing gunsmiths. Most of the gun shops I called refused to even work on AKs, so I was left with only about three places who would do the work. When the rail...
