Hello Everybody, I saw a Ruger .22 that looked an awful lot like the Walther P22. I was wondering what people think of the pistol. I am interested in a comparison to the P22. A new .22 in my collection might be in my future.

I understand the whole poor college thing, been there. I think in the long run you would regret a trade for the Winchester. Of course, I hate to give up any of guns.

I like this family heirloom topic because it makes me realize how important some of my guns are to me. I also really had not been into guns until my father passed away a few years ago and I inherited his collection. So you could say his death sort of sparked a hobby that I will not soon get...

P22/PK380 Deal I ran across this thread and thought I would chime in on what I saw at the gun shop a a week ago. If anyone is thinking about a PK380 or a P22, I noticed that Walther is packaging a P22 and the PK380 with two magazines for each for around $680. I thought that it was not too bad...

I do not know whether it counts or not but I finally got enough guns where my wife can not keep track of them. I do not think she really cares. She still thinks I have 5 or 6 but I eclipsed that number long ago and I do not go out of my way to correct her when I bring other new gun home. I do...

I have an Interarms PPK/S in .380. It has been very reliable and is easy to conceal and carry. However, compared to my other carry guns is not my first choice. I agree with some of the other posts. When I use it at the range, usually it will cut or a least pinch the web of my hand and it...

I am proudest to own my father's Smith and Wesson model 19 revolver he was issued and his Walther PPK/S he used as a back-up. Both keep him safe for many decades. Now they keep me safe.:)

I picked up a Smith and Wesson model 1000M shotgun this weekend. I am looking at doing a thorough cleaning and I did not get any schematic or manual with it. I am not all that familiar with taking shotguns apart so I was wondering where I might find a good schematic for it? I know that Smith...

It has been a while since I last posted and my priorities changed a little in life, so I am not quite the gun "nut" I used to be but I wanted to ask everyone's opinion on a gun I bought last year. When I bought it the gun shop guy told me that they had fired it and it was in great shape. When...

Thanks everybody for your input. I ordered my suppressor. One other question, what type of .22LR do you feed through your suppressor that makes it the the most quite? Is there a huge difference between supersonic and subsonic ammunition?

This may have been ask before. I really have only researched a couple weeks on suppressors, so it may not even sound like an intelligent question. I am looking at getting a .22LR suppressor for my Walther P22. So far, I like the Tactical Innovation and Gem tech suppressors. I also have a...

Thanks everyone for you thoughts on the shotgun. I may even go bird hunting with my brother-in-law now.

3pairs12, I happened to be at the right place at the right time. The daughter of the guns late owner told me that she did not like guns and was just going to turn it in to the police. Since I noticed that it was a Winchester, and I knew that most of their rifles hold there value, I offered her...

I do not think I will modify the choke and I will probably keep it in its current configuration and condition. Even though this is my first shotgun purchase, I have bought many rifles and handguns, and I think this gun is in pretty good shape. I would estimate the bluing at about 75-80% and...

I just picked up a shotgun at an estate sale. It is the first shotgun that I have ever bought. I was looking at this gun to shoot skeet. I have read the generic online history of the gun but I was looking at trying to find out a little more specifically about the model and any quirkiness it...
