I tried to get to Gary's site, but it appears down. Anyone know what's up?

Hi all, My business is moving me 1 state to the left, from Pennsylvania to Ohio. Currently, I'm in a company paid for furnished apartment in Beachwood. I work in Euclid. Can anyone recommend a rental pistol range in the area? I don't need to rent a gun, just an indoor place to shoot in...

Last weekend, my wife & I had to vacate the house for a while – the realtor was bringing someone through to show it. We went to lunch, but still had a lot of time on our hands. We really had no where to go, & she had no ideas, so I suggested we go over to my favorite gun shop & see if I could...

My story: My collection includes about a half dozen long guns & *many* handguns. I don't have a safe. My company is relocating me to a neighboring state. No problem with anything I own going with me to where I will be living. My question: should I let the moving company move my guns...

I’m in the market for a Commander length 1911 in .45ACP. I have (2) 1911s from Kimber (a 5” Stainless & a 3” Ultra CDP) & would seriously consider a Pro Carry, but I’d like to go with a true Commander-length 4.25” barrel. I’d also prefer an alloy frame. From what I can see, my options are...

What is an appropriately sized 9MM semi-auto for a smaller hand? This gun would be for range work - so a small, light-weight compact would not be the best choice here. The gun is for my wife - and, if I've learned anything, my daughter would be next. I want to stay away from a 1911 for now...

I've wanted a BHP for a long time, finally decided that now is the time. I went to my dealer last week & put a deposit down for him to order a polished blue 9 MM with fixed sights. I called him today; he called 7 distributors & no one has a polished blue with fixed sights. :banghead: The...

Hi folks! I bought my now 25 y.o. daughter a Model 637 last year. It is the first gun she has ever owned. I choose it because she expressed a desire to obtain her CCW. While we did some occasional plinking, it was a few weeks ago that she, my wife & I took a 1 day Handgun Class. She did OK...

I've finally managed to schedule a day for my wife & daughter both to take a Basic Handgun class. This is not the NRA course, but a class more structured on how to handle a handgun & what to do if ever the time comes to have to defend yourself. I don't believe it will be the last either. I'm...

The 870 I bought used is set-up with a left-hand safety. I'm not familiar with the mechanism - can it simply be reversed, or do I need to by a new assembly? Also, is it difficult to switch/install? Thanks....

A while ago, I picked up an old 12g 870 at the right price. The gun functions fine, the finish is not-so-fine. My intention has been to modify it & use it as an HD weapon. Finally, that time is arriving. I will fit a magazine extentsion, a synthetic forearm with light, & a synthetic stock. I...

I'm in the market for a belt holster for my 2-1/4" SP101 (standard hammer). This would be for CCW with a jacket, over-shirt, etc. & will not be IWB. It will be strong-side. The belt will be my Broommland or Sparks. Any recommendations (pics are great!)? Thanks.....

Spring will be here soon (I hope!), & I need a new warm weather CCW piece. I've been carrying a Colt Mustang in .380 ACP in hot weather for years, but want to retire it. I bought my daughter a Model 637 about a year ago, & after handling it a little I'm thinking about moving to a wheel gun...

Once again - I have to thank THR contributors for answering my questions & offering opinions on making a decision on what revolver to buy for my wife. I drove to my favorite local dealer early yesterday afternoon. I had a few final choices in mind & thought I might be there a while deciding...

I have a plan to buy my wife a revolver this weekend. I bought my daughter one last weekend (threads located here on THR), & when I give it to her I also want to surprise my wife with one. Some of this is repeat; mentioned in the threads about getting my daughter a gun but here goes: While...

First, thanks to all who took the time to answer my questions about buying my 24 year old daughter a revolver & offered advice on what to consider. I cruised the on-line auction & classified sites & visited a few gun shops. In the end, I bought this at the shop where I have purchased...

On another post I indicated I was looking to buy my 24 y.o. daughter a revolver. Thanks to some member input, I'm re-thinking my choice of a 642 & believe that a revolver with these characteristics would be ideal to be employed as a nightstand and sometimes CCW piece (purse and glovebox carry)...

I'm buying my 24 year old daughter her first handgun. It will be a wheelgun; something small that can be carried (if she so wishes) and for HD in her apartment. I'm looking forward to this! It's going to be a surprise. She's plinked with me a few times but wants to learn how to handle a...

I've been trying to get into Springfield's web site, & I keep getting re-directed to a Network Solutions "This Site is Under Construction and Coming Soon" page. The web address I have is: http://www.springfield-armory.com/index.shtml Anyone know????

I'm going to add another of my "must haves" to my handgun collection, & I've narrowed it down to either a Spingfield GI .45 or a Hi Power. I'm leaning towards the Hi Power. I'm not concerning about having "BROWNING" on the slide; unless I would get a really good deal I'll go with an FN. I...
