    small 380/9mm ccw pistol

    +1 more on the Bersa Thunder 380. Fits my hand great, soft recoil, disappears in jeans pocket, and have never had a failure since out of the box. Downside: ammo more expensive than 9mm.

    I may buy a Hi-Point

    Hmmm, I guess guns are cheaper in Colorado than in Texas. Prices from two years ago mean nothing today. Like Cajun Bass, two years ago I bought a NIB Hi-Point C9 Comp for $105 just to see how bad they were. Around that same time frame, I also bought a *used* S&W Model 49 for $250, and felt...

    Latest Reviews on the HiPoint C9

    I have some of the fancy named ones like S&W, Remington, etc. but I bought a Hi-Point C9 for $105 two years ago to see for my self how bad they are. It's a truck gun, it's inexpensive, I don't have to fret about it getting dinged (or worse yet, stolen). For me, it fits my hand better than a...

    Which is the best small blowback .380 that ISN'T a Kel-Tec or Seecamp?

    Bersa - definitely one of the best values on the market today.

    Good HD Shotgun?

    In addition to ChinaMart, if you have an Academy store near you, they also have the Maverick HD model and an H&R HD model for less than that. Why the hassle of buying online and FFL fees when you can beat that price locally? I too looked at the Maverick and Mossberg before deciding on the...

    Hi Point pistols

    Alrighty a new Hi Point thread to liven things up! Haven't seen one of those in a few weeks. Hi Points are inexpensive ($105 for my C9), they have excellent service (forever, no matter how many owners), they are no uglier than Glocks, they fit my hand well, and I have shot many boxes and...

    Remington 870 Marine Magnum

    $300 must have been in a real old thread. I bought one from Bass Pro in Sept 2007 for $419. They said it was mis-print but they honored it. I was told wholesale was mid-$500. They had it priced at $599 back then. MSRP is listed at $733 on the Remington site at...

    Need help on J.M. Marlin .22 Little Joker

    I have a .22 short revolver that I got from a great uncle 30+ years ago. It is branded "Little Joker" by J.M. Marlin New Haven Conn U.S.A. According to what little information that I can find, it is one of about 1,100 manufactured between 1871-1873. It is a single action repeater with nickel...

    870 Question

    I just got the Marine Magnum version or the same weapon. Had to use a pair of 12inch water pump pliers with leather padding to break the magazine extension free. Of course, unscrew the clamp first. And by the way, be prepared - the magazine spring is longer than you think! I ended up using a...

    870 Marine Magnum Birthday Present

    Picked up my own birthday present last week. Bass Pro Shop finally got a single 870 Marine Magnum in and honored my $419 rain check from their Fall Sale. Even got about $15 back on their rewards card. I was pressed for time and was going to come back later, but I had the sales guy check to...
