I applied for a CHP in Northampton county on April 18. I called the clerk of the court right around a week ago to see what was going on, and I was told that my fingerprints hadn't come back from the State Police yet. Seeing as how I'm employed by a local law enforcement agency, I wouldn't think...

Like a long slide .45. Why is it they have long slide pistols in 9mm and .40/.357, but none in .45. I'm not much of a Glock fan, but it seems to me they would market well to the competition and SWAT crowd. Chris

A buddy of mine just got a Mod 67 and we're having the hardest time trying to get it disassembled. For some reason we can't work the slide, and I can't get the pivot pin for the trigger group out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Chris

At the last gun show, I saw a bunch of CAI AK's, both in pre-ban and post-ban configuration. The pre-bans were 350.00, while the the post-bans were 305.00. On a couple of them, the stock had a little bit of a wiggle. Otherwise, the fit and finish looked okay. My question is, has anyone had any...

I visited the Chickahominy Shooting Range this past Saturday with my cousin, so we could put a few rounds through his XD-40 and my P99, as well as his M4. When I started shooting my P99, I was very disappointed. The range was only 15 yards, but I was getting patterns, more than groups. After a...

Thanks to mine, I am now the proud owner of a Walther P99QA. :D Chris

I have been searching for a thread that was posted a few weeks ago about a 1911 that had been built by several craftsmen, and was being put up for auction to raise money for charity. For some reason, I just can not find that thread. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about, and if so...

I'm sorry, I can't remember the model number, but I handled a S&W .500 at the last gun show, one of their performance center models. I was expecting it to feel rather heavy, but I was surprised at how light it felt. It has to be one of the best balanced revolvers I've handled. I would have...

Just out of curiosity, but if one was interested in a 3" revolver, what kind of options are readily available? Chris

It seems to me that there is a stigma attached to spending more money on customizing a gun than what it is worth. So I'm curious, are there any out there that carry or shoot a customized Star, Makarov, Bersa, FEG etc? I'd love to hear of any, as well as see some pics of them. Chris

I was able to make it to the range again today. I decided to try out my first .45, a Kimber Custom. I was a little apprehensive at first, knowing that it would have a bit more recoil than the 9mm. Anyways, I get to the range, load up a magazine and let loose at 10 yards. 6 out of the 7 shots...

And I had a blast. This was the first time I have been able to shoot a pistol larger than .22 in about 6 years. I finally had a chance to fire some of the handguns I've been considering for concealed carry, Springfield XD-9 Sub-compact, Walther P99, Sig 228, and a Glock 19. Here are just some...

I went to the C & E gunshow in Richmond today, was just browsing around when I came upon something that made my hand shoot for my wallet. A Norinco 1911...for 279.99. The tag said it was used, but to me it looked like it had been barely shot, and definitely didn't look like it had been carried...

I was just wondering why certain guns were designed with a heel release for the magazine rather than having a button behind the triggerguard? It seems like the heel release is a bit slower, and at least in my limited experience, harder to activate. I notice that it seems to be found mainly on...

I saw an Astra 100 at the gun show saturday for $225. It was in .45 and if it had seen any use, it was very little. It has a blued finish, and the double action trigger felt kinda heavy, while the single action wasn't half bad. I'm really tempted to pick it up tomorrow, but haven't been able to...

I keep seeing ads for these gold and titanium plated, engraved limited edition pistols and revolvers in the gun mags, and I have to wonder, have any of you bought these? And if so, do you actually fire them? Chris

I was eyeballing those Steyrs at CDNN, and just had a couple quick questions... Is the Steyr a pistol designed for the .40 adapted to 9mm, or vice versa? and. Does the Steyr have a steel sub-frame like the HK USP? Chris

I've been doing a bit of research the past couple of years, trying to decide which pistol I'm going to buy. It would sort of be an all around gun, with the primary use being concealed carry. The HK USP compact is one that caught my eye, but I seem to hear complaints about it's large size...
