Thanks for all the info and suggestions! I'm looking forward to VA come September.

Hello, I'll be moving to VA in a few months and was wondering if anyone has any information off the top of their head regarding the need to register firearms in VA? Also, any tips for transporting them to VA? I'm currently in and surrounded by unfriendly states. I'll do more research on...

Hi folks, I would like to fill out the warranty registration for my new Kahr, but I'm not sure who to enter as the dealer since I purchased online at Buds. Would it be Buds, or the FFL that transferred it to me. Thanks for any clarification.

Thanks for the responses folks! I got some good information and will apply it to my next purchase.

Not very big. I tend to wear relaxed fit jeans, so the pockets aren't terribly big. I guess I should settle on something for IWB carry if I continue looking for a full grip, short barrel handgun.

Hi Everyone, Are there any short barrel, slim, lightweight handguns that allow three fingers on the grip? My last outing with the Glock 26 left me wondering if I should start carrying a .380 with a better grip. The recoil made rapid firing difficult and groupings were poor. All the...

Here's a question for S&W revolver experts. I bought a brand new, no lock, 642. It was just delivered to the gun store when I pounced on it. It's never been fired, dropped, or snapped open/closed. I didn't notice it at the time, but there is a slight gap where the crane meets the frame. I...

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll buy a new recoil spring and perhaps a couple magazine springs to be on the safe side and see how it performs at the range.

I just purchased a used TSW 3913 in excellent shape. My only concern is I don't know how many rounds have been fired through it and subsequently...how much wear and tear the springs and internals have been through. Do any of you make a habit of replacing springs and such upon purchasing a used...

I'll have to be on the lookout next time I see cop. I could just ask my cousin since he's a cop here too, but since I only see him once a year it would be weird. The Waterbury PD has a pretty nice website with a bunch of history. I think it mentions some of the firearms they used in the past.

I've been thinking about this myself. I'm in New Haven County.

G17 recoil spring I'm pretty sure the stock spring is 17 lbs. Midway USA has the various springs listed as reduced power, factory, and extra power. The 17 lb spring was listed as factory. Mike

I have a 3rd Gen pt-111 without an accessory rail. I noticed that the front part of the outside of the trigger guard is ribbed (or has grooves). Does anyone know the purpose of this? Is it there to facilitate a clip-on type laser since there is no rail? Thanks for any responses.

I played with dozens of toy handguns when I was kid. I vividly recall a plastic 1911 with a rubber band inside that worked the hammer when the trigger was pulled. Now I'm not that old (28), but some of the toy handguns back then could pass for real ones. I even had a Luger cap gun with a...

Probably because it means high ratings for NBC. The more shocking a news story, the better. It doesn't matter if more people are hurt in the process.
