I'll do my best to answer the questions/comments posted... First off...THANK YOU. I love this forum. It is absolutely the most civilized, helpful, and respectful web forum I read/contribute in. She is plenty familiar with snubbies with both .38 and .357. We've tried various breeds at the...

How is the DA pull? We tested some DA only revolvers at the range and she wasn't too hot on them. She likes shooting SA but would adapt pretty easily to DA if the pull was smooth and light. I've considered making my GP100 lighter with a new spring kit just haven't gotten around to trying it...

Doing some preliminary research. I've scoured the forums and still have some questions for you all. Looking for a snub for my wife. She currently has a Bersa Thunder .380 and isn't overly comfortable with it. She much prefers a revolver. In fact for the shooting portion of our CC class, she shot...

IMO... go elsewhere for the $. My father in law has a Taurus 44 (dunno model) and he likes it but the trigger seems funny to me. I just went through the same dilemma as you in January. I wanted 4" .357 but stainless. I opted to spend the extra $75 for a NIB Ruger GP100. LOVE IT! Full...

"What cell phone for bears/zombies/ninjas?" Just wait until they finally figure out that cell phones are turning our brains into scrambled eggs. Then they'll be screaming about those things too. I'm more afraid of the 17yr old behind the wheel of a car with one of those then I am of any...

I have the exact same gun but with a more 'standard' cowboy grip. (Sorry... don't know the technical term for it) It's one of the most accurate handguns I own. That may be because it doesn't kick like the .357, but accurate none the less. I've assasinated many aluminum cans with that bad boy! My...

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a smith or an expert in this matter... I own a 4" GP100 and have put about 500-600 rounds (75% .38's) through it since I purchased it in January and have had absolutely no issues. Other then a little smoother trigger now (polished using the IBOK)...

+1 for the Bersa. Full disclosure... don't own a Taurus auto but some family members do and they like them. My wife's primary gun (when she's not stealing my Ruger GP100 at the range :) ) is the Thunder 380. Mags are tough to come by and expensive but I bought one yesterday (used but who...

Yes, alloy. My fault. I meant that it was not the polymer model that CZ has listed on their site. (Although I have never seen a polymer model for sale new or used) After doing a little research, am I correct that CZ puts night sites on as a factory standard? I didn't know if these were...

"Seems to me that your brother should know plenty of still active bretheren who would be happy to buy it off-of him." This is true. He's looking local though (that's why he wants to avoid eBay) and all his 'brethren' are still in NC @ Bragg and he'd have to ship it to them. That stuff is...

He hasn't given me the specifics yet. I was just throwing out feelers here first. I'm gonna talk to him tonight or tomorrow about it. Is this the appropriate subject board to put a 'for sale' post in? Is there another site all together that anyone can suggest? All I know for now is that he's...

It wasn't military issued, he bought it as an extra set. He was special forces for 6 years and this set was purchased out-of-pocket and has never been worn. Dunno why he bought it as he was always supplied with armor, but he doesn't want it now.

I think that it is, but want some others to chime in before I 'pull the trigger' on this one. Used CZ 2075 RAMI, 9mm, all steel, nightsights... $400. It's listed used, but if this thing saw more then 100 rounds I'd be surprised. Should I be jumping on this one or is this not a good price? I have...

Forgive me if I am putting this in the wrong place. It was my best guess based on the options here. My brother has recently ended his Army career and has some unused body armor he would like to sell off. Does anyone here know where I might be able to find a buyer for him? He would rather not use...

So we recently purchased new handguns. I went revolver (GP100) and she chose the Bersa 380. After 2 trips to the range, she's not 100% about the Bersa. I like it so it's staying. But I want her comfortable with her choice so she carries it. Here's where everyone comes in... What suggestions...

I just had the exact decision to make. $500 in my pocket... first gun to call mine... loved revolvers... I bought the 4" GP100 (SS). Nice compromise from 6". Not a CC piece for me, but needed to be carried at my cabin as a backup gun when in the deepwoods.

Good point. But wouldn't the FFL transfer register that gun to you at that point? I'm not familiar with the process as I have never done it (only bought new and from private party). I would think that it would otherwise what is the point of all the paperwork right? Anyone have any other sites...

Fantastic site. I really like the compact .40 S&W they have available right now. Doesn't get me a 9mm for plinking, but hey... I can use it as an excuse to get 2 guns. One for CCW and one for plinking. :D

Just bought a Bersa 380 (regular not CC) and have been flirting with the idea of the 9mm myself. I'd like to see others' response to this as well. I like the Bersa I have and we (wife and I... it's her gun technically) have talked about getting a 9mm for plinking and the price is right on those...

Good info all. This is my favorite forum on the web. (Sorry Ruger forum... no hard feelings) If I get one, it's gonna be the Sig. $16/100 @ Wal-Mart is hard to beat for ammo. Plinking with the .357 is getting pricey (I know I can save $ shooting .38, but I love the sound of the .357!). "You...
