The gun market is not so different from the housing market, values in some areas have been going down, while going up in others. The HK P7M13 prices have stabilized but are still pointing upwards. Utilitarian classical handguns that are or have been largely available, especially from surplus...

When driving through Memphis, I do.

I have been over to Whittaker's many times in the 1990s, driving from Southwestern Indiana was always worth the trip. While my wife and the kids were feeding the carps in the lake opposite of the store, I had time to look at the large inventory. Mr. Whittaker was a very nice person to deal with...

I find the crimp very pronounced in a fired case. I would check case length and if the case head may have been past the chamber.

Without intending to let this thread drift further into politics I feel compelled to add that the 1968 GCA import restrictions were very much supported by U.S. firearms manufacturers who wanted to stem the flood of cheap small guns that were imported mostly from Italy, Germany, and Spain. What...

The Windicator is made by H. Weihrauch and is available with 2", 4", and a 6" barrel. Since a revolver with a barrel shorter than 3" is not importable, the barrels are most likely sourced in the States and fitted by EAA. Weihrauch normally uses Lothar Walther barrels and the HW9 revolvers that I...

Borchardt immigrated with his family to the U.S. when he was 16 and lived and worked here in firearms manufacturing for a good many years before returning to Germany. Ludwig Loewe, the owner of Mauser and DWM was very interested to discuss American production methods with Borchardt, since those...

We are discussing the shipment of a handgun here, as is clearly stated. You are not just wrong but now off topic.

That is wrong. USPS requires PS Form 1508 filled out and signed for all handgun shipments and the shipper has to sign that he is a manufacturer or bona fide dealer of firearms shipping to manufacturers and bona fide dealers. Dogtown Tom had explained firearms shipping in great detail and it has...

USPS wants handguns shipped Priority mail, which is going any way that is fastest or most economical. Fedex and UPS want 2nd day air for handguns for approved dealers. This might have made some potential bidders unsure if everything was legit, what was called a red flag in the thread. As a...

I am not aware that any shipper that will accept a handgun for ground transportation.

Nightlord, the rod is indeed to push out the empty shells. Lothar Walther has long discontinued the shotgun conversions but barrel inserts have always been in demand in Germany and Krieghoff made very nice ones that cost half a fortune. This is the fun part of our hobby; to play around with...

I have a Lothar Walther 12g to .38 Special conversion that shoots pretty well, most importantly POI of the .38 is the same as in 12 gauge. It's easy to keep the rounds in a fist to hand sized group at 25yards with a Remington 870 with rifle sights but Lothar Walther conversions have never been...

When a retailer is drop-shipping items from a distributor or manufacturer unnecessary shipping is avoided and some cost saved but the downside is, that the retailer is at the mercy of their own suppliers for any price increases. Since cases are back-ordered, which are most likely drop shipped...

I shot that one a little bit and the accuracy is no different than a good Smith & Wesson K-22 or Korth. I like the S&S 4" version better, though. I just gave a S&W 17 to my son that had been professionally shortened to four inches and the Sauer & Sohn shot as well in many side by side comparisons.
