    Storage question....

    I've got several of those "spam cans" of ammo, both rifle and pistol. Some is relatively new production (less than 3 years old). Is it better to leave it in the spam can, or put it in a USGI ammo can with desiccant and a humidity indicator card and check it once a year or so? How do I know...

    I swear I'm going to vomit on my cat if...

    ... I hear the phrase "Springfield XD" ever again! All I ever see is XD ads, everywhere! ***!!! It may be a fine pistol, but is it 100 times better than a SIG, Walther, Colt, Beretta, [insert name here] pistol? For the record I have fired an XD in .40 S&W (don't know the model, but it was the...

    Wal-mart cheap ammo

    Got lucky here and found a dozen or so boxes of WWB 100 round for $19.97, and about 20 100 round boxes of WWB .45 auto for $29.97. Bought a few of each. All other pistol ammo except .22 bare. Heck, they were even out of .25 auto this time. No shortage of rifle ammo at all. Comes and goes, I guess.

    Got a new Sig Mosquito

    Is this going to turn in to another "my Mosquito is a Jam-O-Matic" because someone didn't read the manual?

    Sig P230/232

    Thanks for the replies. Mine is blued; I wish it was stainless but I bought it used so not really a choice. I might have it chrome plated though... :rolleyes:

    Quick LCP question ...

    Hi CP. I think maybe I'll stop by tomorrow and see if the nearest local (within 30 miles) shop can order one for me. Actually there is one closer but he's much more of a gunsmith than a stocking shop. Nice if you need your hunting rifle worked on. Really nice folks and cheap transfers, though.

    Fake Magazine Alert

    How about these? The SS one sounds like the type Slademark mentioned, but does not have any visible weld mark down the spine. Pretty sure the blued one is OK...(?) I'm not a 1911 guru, and definately not a photographer.

    Quick LCP question ...

    Must be nice... Went to the the local Sportsman's Warehouse to check one out about two weeks ago. None in stock. Waiting list? **32** people ahead of me - for that particular pistol - in po-dunk Washington. I would have been number 33. No PPKs in .380 (or .32). No P22's except in pink. Very...

    Sig P230/232

    What's the difference between the two? I have a P230 in .380 and was wondering what makes the P232 different/better.

    Who makes the best 1911 magazines?

    I have never had a problem with new/old stock USGI surplus mags. The only other mags I've tried were Wilson Combat brand with a big heavy brass weight at the bottom. I bought a copier box about 1/4 full of various mags at an auction because it had some WW2 P.38 mags in it, and those were at the...

    bring back P38 with pics

    Made in late 1943, considered a "second variation" byf 43. Approximately 88,00 made. Made by Mauser as stated above. I'm not sure what you mean by "second marking." There is a eagle over 135 (e/135) acceptance mark on the frame. On the slide (can't really see) there should be an e/135 acceptance...

    Washington Gun Show

    I wouldn't say I'm in favor of their policy, but I understand their position (as well as yours). You're right too that we don't have a lot of the silly gun laws here that other states have, which is even more amazing as we have a Democratic governor. Governess, I guess. Now if we can get rid of...

    Price on a Walther P-5 ?

    Got the flyer today - $379 in "excellent" condition with box, manual, cleaning rod, and two mags. +$15 for "handpick". Probably one of the best deals out there in a quality used 9mm.

    Beretta 92FS clone by Taurus?

    I have both, and both shoot very well. As was mentioned above, a lot of the parts are different than a Beretta, even the magazine and grips, so I would not consider it a clone. I bought my PT92 used, and it had crappy looking ("buggered up") grips screws. To replace them I had to get them from...

    Washington Gun Show

    Uh, yes, I'm quite serious. If you had an AD in the mall, they ("they" = the anti-gunners) would not try to shut down the mall. If you had an AD in a bank, they would not try to shut down the bank. If you had an AD in a gunshow, you bet your ass the liberal media would make it a front page...

    Dry firing- why is it bad?

    Hi Oro - I was thinking of a rifle in which there's no way to gently de-cock it, like a 98k or AR15, or a centerfire pistol with no external hammer.

    Washington Gun Show

    To answer the original post, I've been going for about five years now. Prices have recently gone up, as they have everywhere else. At least at the last show I could still find ammo, when Sportsman's Warehouse and even Wal-Mart are very thin. I priced ammo I was interested in, mainly 9x18...

    Washington Gun Show

    Well if you don't go, I guess it's more guns for me. I fully understand and support their policy. All it takes is one accidental discharge and the liberals would be all over it. It's the largest gun show in the state, held right in the middle of the biggest concentration of liberals in the...

    Dry firing- why is it bad?

    So do you leave it cocked when you are ready to store it, or do you dry fire it? Which is worse - leaving the firing pin spring compressed for long periods of time, or the dry fire?
