    guns you wish you had kept

    I always intend to keep 'em, but once in a while trade for something a bit more interesting or having more desirable features, particularly the old military types.

    The "pressure" of buying surplus.

    HELP WITH FIRST HANDGUN?? WHAT TO BUY

    If you want a revolver, a Smith and Wesson in .357 is an awfully good choice for a lot of reasons. Reliable to the extreme, good re-sale value, variety of ammo choices and readily available ammo. Although, if I could only keep one of my handguns, it would be the CZ-75B. Glad I can have both...

    Home Defense: Shotgun or Rifle?

    have thought about this more than once, and tend to feel that a .357 mag in one hand with a flashlight in the other is my best option. I don't want the light to reveal my exact location. With a revolver in one hand, the light can be held in the opposite hand away from my body and my weapon...

    Good Scope recommendation for around $200 for a .30-30

    While I am not necessarily recommending it, I had a cheapo Wally World BSA Classic 4x on my Marlin 336 for a couple of years, and it worked flawlessly, consistent 1-inch groups at 100 yards out of this rifle with factory soft point ammo, amazing. Then I found a scratched up Leupold M8 4X at a...

    best ammo for my 9

    My self defense load for a 9mm pistol is Speer Gold Dot 124 grain +P. You may find an equally good cartridge in some of the Winchester loads.

    AK questions

    $350 would be a very fair price for a milled AK. And yes, you can make them 922 compliant, although it seems to me they do have the angled receiver, and there was only one outfit that was making standard style AK buttstocks for the milled angled receiver, so the price may be higher than on a...

    Lighter Trigger for Marlin 336, 30/30 ?

    I've had similar experience with my Marlin (Sears) 336 .30-.30, really surprised me that little rifle could consistently do 1-inch groups, should be even better with the new Hornady polymertip loads.

    Taurus 85 Question

    I called Taurus and they verified the 85 I am looking at was produced in 1994, which is the first year they produced it to a +P standard. Now if it is still there when I go back, I'm going to pick it up. Seems to be a real good all around choice for the application it is designed for...

    Taurus 85 Question

    I looked over the 85 again this weekend, serial number is NF32XXX. I plan to call Taurus and ask them about the +Ps, and if OK, buy this one, it appears to have very little wear thanks for the comments on the +P+, I found some of those in my gun cabinet that a former State trooper gave me and...

    Taurus 85 Question

    All responses appreciated, I may have to get the serial number and check with Taurus. It is definitely not a "new" Taurus, tough to tell how old though, because it is in such great shape. I appreciate the advice about practice with standard loads, nothing like the "real" thing to inspire...

    Taurus 85 Question

    I am thinking about buying a used Taurus 85, blued, and putting some Crimson Trace grips on it, was wondering if anyone knows if these are rated for +P, if it doesn't say that on the firearm?

    Buy AK, or modify the one I've got?

    My $0.02 is: go with another AK. While the Saiga mods make for an exceptionally nice rifle, part of what you may want to consider is potential re-sale value if you have changing fortunes. If you have to cash in your "chips" some day, my opinion is: you would do better with a stock Saiga plus an...

    Survival Firearm? (Lost in the Woods)

    This is an interesting question, and since this is my first post in this forum, I will try to keep it short and to the point. The answer would depend on the scenario. If we are talking about an end of the world as we know it scenario, then it would be a different answer than a 2-week...
