    Unrepairable Python

    I agree with the majority here, take the buy back offer and if you still want a Python (which I would in your shoes) go get another one. The price is in the ballpark for a Python and who knows maybe you can get one a bit less. Good Luck. And keep us posted. RC

    Moonclipped .357 revolvers: Worth it?

    Since I don't compete I can't say what's legal or illegal regarding the use of moon clips. I own a PC627 and have no problems with moon clips securely holding the rounds, they don't come loose nor do they rattle either. When I'm at the range just keeping up my quals' I don't use them but I do...

    Is the "new" Gunsamerica.com better than the old?

    I agree with the concensus here that the site is not friendly like it used to be. But I still go there when I'm looking for something because I can usually find it, and compare prices. I do prefer the old site for ease of use. RC

    Did CDNN stop selling handguns?

    CDNN made a business decision after the tragedy at Virginia Tech. They decided to take out the handgun ads from their online catalog. This was to avoid what might have become a big "PR" problem with the media, figuring that the gun craze would start and everyone but the "Nut Case" would be...

    Just Picked up a Browning HP!

    Mr. Williams, Per the s/n you supplied your HP was mfgd. in 1989 which was about the time that MK III's came out. These had cast frames for additional strength. You can tell the difference by looking at the bottom of the frame if it is smooth it is the older forged technique if it is ribbed...

    Who Makes Grips in Spalted or Birdeye Maple?

    You didn't mention what revolvers you had. I would like to recommend a couple of makers but they don't make for every kind under the sun. RC

    Just Picked up a Browning HP!

    Congradulations on a excellant purchase. I know you'll enjoy it for many years to come. I don't care for the pachmyar grips on a High Power myself but I dislike even more the square box type original grips that usually come with HP's. Since you saved a lot with this purchase I would suggest a...

    New(ish) Kimber 1911 Owners Sound Off!

    I posted a thread and range report a couple of years ago on another forum after I purchased my first Kimber. Here's the link if you'd like to read up on my opinion and first experience. To date I have only made minor changes (mostly cosmetic) but I changed out the trigger for a Chip McCormick...

    Here's why I don't buy handguns on line

    If I was intentionally trying to sell something as "NIB" I sure wouldn't show the label that says "Condition Very Good". You can always email the seller and ask him to reaffirm his description. By bringing it to his attention he may change it but since there are already bid(s) started I don't...

    Funky Hi-Power Question

    It's worth the asking price and more if still in shootable shape . . . "CH" Inglis' w/shoulder stocks are going for quite a bit nowadays. So one without is still a good investment. If you decide you don't want it drop me a PM and let me know where it is. RC

    BHP vs Sig

    I voted BHP because I really love them . . . lots of history from JMB. I own quite a few HP's but only one Sig 226. Sig is a excellant firearm and there are a few newer models that I'm considering but I have no special attachment to the Brand Name like I do the HiPower. RC

    Finally narrowed it down, Help me choose from these 7 autoloaders

    I picked the XD because I own and shoot one with good results . . . I don't see the reason though for dropping the Walther P99 it is in the price range of several you opted for and is a hell of a pistol. :confused: RC

    Browning HP vs. Walther P38

    As I understand it, the germans needed a cheaper sidearm for their military instead of the expensive Luger, that's how the P-38 came to be. I like the pistol and it's history, some day I will own one. I'll put it along side the dozen or so HP's I already own. RC

    More Ruger Trouble.

    Sorry to hear about your problems . . . I'm a big Ruger fan from way back. And the best things about Rugers used to be the K.I.S.S. method of mfg that they used. Now they're into competition to get military and police contracts. Other mfgs seem to have problems from new designs and Ruger is no...

    Hi-Power or CZ75

    It all comes down to personal preference. I like the HP and have not owned a CZ (yet!). If possible try to shoot both and get a feel for them, you should know right off what you like and then make the right choice. As for quality, the HP has always had a excellant reputation. The CZ I have heard...
