Do you wipe down you firearm after handling it? Not after shooting it, but lets say you pick it up, and touch any of the metal surfaces. Do you wipe off the places you touched? Just asking, as I personally do wipe mine down after touching any of the metal surfaces. I guess I just don't want...

Will it damage a Kel-Tec P-11 if fired with NO magazine installed? I was shooting with a friend at the range. He asked, "Will this fire if it doesn't have the magazine in it?" I said, "I didn't know." So he pulled the trigger and found out. IT DID FIRE. Not sure if this was a good...

I recently bought a SLIGHTLY used Sigma SW9VE. As of now, I've never shot it. But reading some reviews. I hope it is a Gen.3 As the older ones would break, and jam ALOT. The shell cases that came with it read 11-07. And The receipt in the box say sold 12-07. Any one have any idea on the...

I have a Taurus in SS I bought a week ago. When looking down the barrel about half way down the shiny goes away, and kind of looks dull? All most like it is looser in that spot? is it normal for a SS barrel to look dull/shinny in different parts of the barrel? I thought it might be...

I found a Rossi Model 461 (Made by TAURUS) it's a .357 Mag. It's a 6 shot, and being a 6 will it still be fine to shoot a steady diet of .357 Mag, or stick with .38? I'm not sure how well Taurus does there metal in the cylinder? As it being a .357 I'd be a little more concerned about the...

Any one carry a blued revolver in Hot/Humid weather, and how has it held up to rust? I do farm work, and recently a young lady was attacked by "wild" dogs. The farm is 10min away from where the lady was attacked. All I own are Blued revolver, and I was worried about rust issues? I do own 1...

The cloth works so well it took the lettering right off my NAA Mini-Revolver. I was using it to remove the slight surface rust on the barrel. and figured since it worked so well, I'd just wipe the whole thing down with it. Though I'd let you all know before using it on yours. I would have...

I have a NAA Mini Revolver and the barrel has developed slight surface rust. I looked at the used ones at the local gun show and they too have the slight rust, almost like a stain more than rust. But it is rust. This is only on the barrel, none of the rest of the gun/frame has this problem...

I have a .223 Savage and found 45grain JHP ammo on sale and bought a box of them. On the box it read 3600fps, I have a chrony, but didn't confirm it. No need to, it is factory ammo, and is what it is. I stopped by the local gun shop today, to see if they had any. I got the last box at...

The model 10-6 has a 2" barrel. Will both hold up fine with factory loads, and which will more likely retain more value.

What exactly is the GunShow Loop hole? All the gun shows I've been to have FFL Dealers, and private citizens. Last I checked it is legal to sale Personal/Privately owned firearms. If you are selling them for primary income , and selling "NEW" firearms you need an FFL. And the NICS is NOT open...

Reading a post here on the K-Frames. It seems like it isn't very good to fire 125 grain bullets in your .357 Am I misunderstanding some thing here? I put over 500 rounds of FACTORY Remington 125 grain JHP in a Ruger Service Six. All seems well with it so far. Buy shooting 125 grains, Is...

Are the Model 10(-6) worth the extra money? Seems like the 4" is cheaper than the 2" by $50-$75. What is one worth any how? Local shop has one, and might be interested in it? Figured I'd ask here, and see how far off they are from the ACTUAL current blue book value. Thanks Guys.

some where on this forum I read that a lead away cloth was abrasive. I've used mine cloth, on my Stainless firearms of course...... Luckily I read on here first not to use it on Blued firearms. As the package only said it was Lead, and powder fouling removal. Now back to my...

I'm pretty lacking in my knowledge in S&W revolver. As I am Ruger, and Taurus Tracker series type guy. I'm can't afford to buy the hack saw, to remove my arm/ and or leg to buy a S&W revolver. But have noticed when looking at used ones. A lot of time it is said to have a pinned barrel? What...

Any one have any experience with the new model 82. I've been looking for a good range gun for a good price. Which I've found used for $200.00. Thanks for any input.

Not sure where to post this, It is a legality question so I figured this might work? Tennessee has an ammunition tax, I live in Tn. I was wanting to order some ammunition but wasn't sure if it was legal to buy ammunition from out of state, and have it shipped to Tennessee. Thanks.

Does the Barrel link pin on the 1911 punch out? I know it sounds dumb, but I wasn't sure if one end is grooved, bigger, ect? Thanks.

This just in from the NRA). Proposed Bill Could Ban Lead Ammunition in Massachusetts! Please Contact Your State Legislator Today! House Bill 783 and Senate Bill 558 introduced by State Representative Jay Kaufman (D-15th Middlesex) and State Senator Steven Tolman (D-2nd Suffolk &...

First off....I just replaced the extractor in my RIA, that had a Charles Daly slide. Ordered the extractor form Numerich. The rear of the extractor stuck out the back of the slide a 1/16", and the head of the extractor was slightly longer causing it to 3-Point jam, as the extractor was pressing...
