You are forbidden from possessing firearms only if you have been found mentally incompetent by a judge or have been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric facility. Simply being prescribed antidepressants is a long way from being disqualified.

The Colt Python that I recently bought from a former co-worker. I could see that it was in perfect condition, but the trigger was a wonderful surprise. Absolutely no take-up or creep in single action. The instant the trigger moves, the hammer falls.

Thanks, Chicken-Farmer. I don't think they're charged my credit card yet, and their website has shown my order status as "IS BEING PICKED" for about a week. The email I've received from them said they "worked through the weekend" on the problem, which makes it sound like a major issue, but I...

I recently decided to build my first AR-15 and placed an order at Brownells, mostly for tools. That was on Monday, 10/3. When it hadn't shipped by Friday, I inquired via email and was told that they were having computer problems and couldn't access customer information or order history -...

If you're considering indoor, Front Range Gun Club in Loveland is a friendly place. Handguns, any rifle except .50BMG, slugs only in shotguns. Tell Ed I sent you.

I used a Browning Buckmark for Handgun, a Ruger 77/22 bolt action for Benchrest Smallbore Rifle and a S&W Model 41 for Bullseye Pistol. All .22LR.

If you want qualified opinions on the value of this gun as a collectible, post detailed photos of it here.

I bought a Lee Classic Cast (single stage) about 15 months ago and have loaded about 5000 rounds - 9mm, .45ACP and .44Mag. I use Hornady Lock-n-Load bushings in it. I'm perfectly happy with the set up. It's not fast; I do about 50 rounds per hour, but that's mostly because I'm a little...

Colt Python I just bought a 6" blued Colt Python from a friend. I bought it because it I love the "Royal Blue" finish, and this one was in perfect condition. The surprise was that its single-action trigger is perfect. Absolutely no creep at all; a 4 pound pull, and the instant the trigger...

There is no federal law requiring handguns to be registered. Beyond that, you'd need to tell us what state you live in.

I did just some basic physics and came to an interesting conclusion. All other things being equal, the muzzle energy of a given cartridge in a given gun is independent of the bullet weight. However, the muzzle momentum, and therefore the recoil, is proportional to the square root of the bullet...

I bought a PM9 with Crimson Trace a few weeks ago. Almost 200 rounds through it and not a single malfunction.

When I served on a federal grand jury, we indicted lots of people for violations of 18USC922. We were told that any gun that had crossed a state line qualified. All the prosecution had to do was show that the gun had been found in a different state from its manufacture.

Buy whichever you prefer and lock it up.
