I bought an RCBS 5-0-2 scale from a member here and I cannot get it to work properly. I've been advised on another forum that it's broken but I want a second opinion before I throw any more money at it. Take a look at the attached pics and tell me if you think the beam looks right. sorry for...

A cousin shared this gun with me today. It was his fathers and came home with him from WWII as a bring-back. The story is that Uncle Sam (yes, that was his name) was a Colonel who helped liberate Italy. He got this pistol in one of the towns as a gift, said to be the gun of a German officer...

I want to try EDC'ing my 3" K-frame and I need some advice on a good holster because I can only afford to buy one. If you concealed-carry a medium frame revolver and you have a setup that you like I'd like to see how and why it works for you. thanks! ps: I tried searching and came up...

Hi all, I am considering a trade for the gun in the attached photo. It's a S&w model 64-3 that has had it's hammer bobbed. What does a mod like that do to the value of a gun? Any expert advice for this situation? Thanks,

I'm working on a trade to get a Dan Wesson model 14 357 Magnum. I've read a ton of threads on model 15's but nothing specifically on the fixed-sight model 14. If anyone out there has had personal experience with one I'd like to hear about it - good, bad or ugly. Thanks! CHH

dumb question but that's never stopped me before... Could you please describe the proper sight picture for fixed blade and notch style sights on a revolver? I have a Heritage RR .22, an Iver Johnson model 55 .22 and a Colt PPS 38 special each with this style sights. None of them shoot to...

I'm using 158g LSWC bullets and Titegroup powder shooting through a S&W model 66 .357 magnum revolver. I have the Hodgedon load data for standard 38spl (3.2-3.8g, 15400cup) and 357 mag (3.5-5.0g, 24,900cup) I cannot find a 38 spl +p recipe to go with them - anyone have a resource they...

Ok so I know the answer to my question is "work your load up from the minimum until you get the performance you want" BUT I'm trying to avoid driving 30 minutes and paying $12 to shoot 10 bullets...repeatedly. If you can help, thank you. I am loading .45 ACP small primer brass with 230G...

I saw a S&W 547 9mm in a pawn shop today. Mechanically it's in great shape but it has a big ugly scratch (gouge?) down the barrel that goes to bare metal, and I can't tell if the grips are original or replacements. Sorry, no pics. Just imagine that your GF took a screwdriver to your 85% model...

I'm shopping for a hand gun and I find that I seriously limit my options by sticking to a FTF transaction. But I'm also reluctant to send any individual I don't know hundreds of dollars on the promise that a) the gun is what they say it is and b) they'll ship the gun to my FFL. What have you...

I inherited this gun and don't know much about it. Neither does Google. It holds 7 shots and is marked Omega Mod. 5 and 32 S&W long. It locks up tight with no endplay, has a clean shiny bore, everything lines up mechanically, it shoots fine both DA and SA and aside from some blemishes in...

I'm looking to buy a sheet of Kydex to play with - I want to make a new belt clip for my holster. I'm not sure what product to get that would be best suited for the task. Anyone able to point me in the right direction? Thanks

Stupid Question Of The Week: Could I use my Lee .45 ACP dies to load .45 GAP or would I need a separate die set? It's a stupid question because I don't own a .45 GAP pistol, I'm just curious.

Any of you own and carry one? I'd like to know what you think. I'm interested in form/function/feel comments, not hate for chips. I saw this video today and it looks impressive. http://www.uscca.us/ccr/view_post.php?postId=266 So how about it, any real experiences with the Rhino?

I searched and read more than a dozen threads but none so far pertained to my question so please bear with me. The gun: Kimber Ultra Raptor, 230gr RN hand load ammo Problem: My big hands vs that little pistol - I've practiced the proper grip technique and I CAN shoot it properly. When...

I found this old cleaning kit in the safe and it contains these handy instructions on the inside of the cover: "Be sure bore is clean before firing" Check out the picture... and don't try this at home.

First of all I'm more or less a shotgun novice. I found a great deal on an older Remington 1100 in great shape and took it to the range just to test it - it goes bang and cycles just fine. I'm just more comfortable using a pump action SG so I had every intention to sell or trade it for a pump...

I'm in NC I've heard and read many inferences that it's not legal to carry concealed in a hospital but I cannot find anything official. I've reviewed the NCDOJ brief and googled a bit - I'm concerned and I want to stay out of trouble. Do any of you know if hospitals are specifically off limits...

Whenever I'm forced to lock my pistol in my truck for CCH prohibition reasons I use a lock box and still don't feel right about it. I'm obviously missing something because many smart people choose to keep a gun in their vehicle, so educate me - why? My thoughts on this are from the SD...

Hypothetically speaking, of course, if a friend of mine had a pistol that he purchased long ago with no paperwork how could that friend now make sure the pistol was not stolen property? He has no reason to suspect that it is, btw. Along the same lines, if my friend ;) wanted to buy a long...
