Been pondering the Model 19 for awhile now, and am ready to buy once the right one comes along, if only I can get past a concern. I've read several times that the Model 19 can develop issues if too many magnum rounds are shot through it. As such, should I be overly concerned about what previous...

Had a malfunction with a Glock 23 I haven't seen before in a semi-auto (only been shooting semi's for maybe 2 years though). After firing, the spent casing ejected properly but the next round went nose up and prevented the slide from fully returning to battery, being wedged upright between the...

I heard a story from a friend that I found pretty interesting and figured some of yall would too. Perhaps a debate about how his partner should have reacted could be had. When a rookie cop, my friend and his partner responded to a domestic dispute. They walked up to the house and knocked. A man...

What firearms regularly manufactured and sold today do you think will become highly sought after collectibles sometime in the future? This may require some prescience unavailable to us mere mortals, as the guns may increase wildly in value only if production stops. My guess is AR-15s, but...

Fooled you! Still like Smiths, but my first Colt has got me pretty excited. Only $150 for a pretty little gun that doesn't shoot (or that I'm too scared to shoot) as the timing seems to be off. But I'm going to see a gunsmith - I'd be willing to put in another $150 or so if it'll make it run...

Apologies if this is a double post, but a search didn't pull anything up. It appears there is a recall on all S&W M&P Shields manufactured before August 19, 2013. http://www.hyattguns.com/news/shieldrecall.pdf

Just inherited this old sword from my grandpa. Don't think there's any real story with it, but I think it's pretty neat. Has the markings "Ames Mfc. Co. Chicopee Ma" on one side near the hilt, and "U.S. A.H.K. 1864" on the other side. I believe it's a Union "Musician's Sword." Not all that...

Simple question that I imagine will get a couple different answers, but what was the typical price for a 50 round box of .40 s&w target ammo, before the recent unpleasantness? For unrelated reasons I sold my 9mm and bought a Glock 23, and am not sure what the "regular" price of the ammo...

Is it legal for me to sell across state lines to an FFL? I believe it is, just want to verify before I commit a federal offense. Edit: I am selling a handgun.

I'm considering buying my first revolver - just a shooter, nothing fancy. Anyways, found a deal on a S&W Model 10 that could be a good deal (negotiations remain to be done), if only some dimwit hadn't carved his initials into the frame just below the cylinder (the seller didn't do the carving)...

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/18/county-official-proposes-bullet-tax-to-curb-chicago-crime/?test=latestnews Chicago officials are proposing a 5 cent tax on every bullet. That will increase every WWB 100-count by $5 (15-20%), hurting those who enjoy target practice, but I have grave...

I was hospitalized for two days (just an infection, I'm okay) and got bored and tried to get on THR. This site was blocked, so I tried the website of a local gun shop, gunbroker, and armslist - all were blocked. I have no idea why; I even read their internet security policy. I understand why you...

http://www.gq.com/news-politics/big-issues/201209/gun-shopping-gq-september-2012?printable=true This article seems to be in the upcoming issue of GQ magazine. Long story short a big-city liberal wants to understand gun culture, immerses herself in it, and comes out better for the experience...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-18815326 Apparently some artists are doing their good deed for the day, and taking out "24 AK's in the world doing damage" and making them pretty for "Peace Day." And here I was thinking AK's were already fine looking guns. Wish someone would give...

Many times we hear about the onerous gun laws already in place, but are there any new laws, consistent with the RKBA, that you would like to see implemented? Any laws that would improve our situation as responsible gun owners? My inquiry is not totally out of curiosity, as I need some ideas for...

What rifle is he using? It's probably something simple and obvious, I just don't have a trained eye like I know many of yall have got. This is a pic from the next installment in the Bond series called, "Skyfall."

Test your knowledge of the 2A on this quiz by the Christian Science Monitor. Not sure how I feel about the answer to Question 10. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2011/1104/Second-Amendment-Quiz/Topic-of-Second-Amendment

All in fun, and inspired by the recent thread about gun movies, I wanted to see what gun songs you all loved, whether the song is all about firearms, or just has a good lyric or two mentioning them. In respect of THR's copyright policy, it's probably best just to give the name and artist of the...
