I am considering purchasing this model 10 as a fun gun, and, perhaps in the future, for work. I currently work as a security guard, and if I were to ever get involved in being an armed courier, I would be required in my jurisdiction to carry a .38 revolver. As such, this seemingly well used...

I’m price shopping for a level III retention holster for a revolver. Options seem sparse. I remember hearing that Safariland makes one. Does anyone know of some that I may be unaware of?

I have gotten a job as an armed security guard for an active industrial facility in a mostly abandoned section of an American city. The post is behind a fence with razor wire. Now, about a decade ago, in my late teens, I was very much into guns, and considered myself knowledgeable. I own...

I have been out of the loop regarding guns for the past few years. I'm fairly young, spent a few years at college, and now live in a more populated area. I have never used a formal range, and it's a bit intimidating because I don't know what to do. However, my question is not about range...

I have here a photo of post-war anti-Soviet Lithuanian partisans. I have no idea what sort of firearm is carried by the gentleman second from the right, but I am curious. I think the rifle in the middle is an SVT, although I am not sure. I know that the submachine gun on the left is a PPSH...

I've heard some people say that when it comes to CCW pistols, you want the absolute most reliable gun you can afford, because its better to not risk a failure. I've also heard people say that a mid-level brand like Kahr or Taurus is fine because reliability doesn't factor in unless you're...

Lately I've been researching self-defense loads for a 2" .38 +p snub-nose. I've been reading a lot of conflicting information. Some people say hollowpoints are best, others say wadcutters. One side says +p rounds are the way to go, another says that regular .38 spl rounds are best because a...

Tonight I heard anti-gun sentiment expressed on the radio. This is the second time I've heard someone advocating for gun control on the radio - the second station as well. Both times it comes from someone claiming to be a gun owner. Tonight it went something like this: The DJ, a music DJ...

From the Washington Post of all places comes an article about the rapid growth of competitive shooting on University campuses - Ivy League institutions such as Yale, and schools such as MIT. I find both this surge in interest as well as the reporting on it by a major media outlet to be...

It seems that Washington's new background check law has forced a museum to remove historic rifles loaned to it and return them to their owners to comply with the law. The Colombian reports, Why isn't this an ex-post facto law? According to the article, authorities have taken a neutral...

I know someone who wants to build an AK-47. He says he wants the best quality at the lowest price, and I told him that I could help in that endeavor. The thing is though, I haven't had AKs on my radar for a long time. 1. Where can I get the best quality for the lowest price? I understand...

It seems that politicians (even highly pro-gun ones) say that they support the 2A, but never seem to stir debate about rolling back gun control laws which infringe upon it. They always talk about holding the line, never accepting new gun laws, never taking one step back - and yet, they never...

A few days ago, I was talking with someone who used to work in a gun store. She told me about one customer who brought in a 9mm Kel-Tec and complained about it jamming. The owner took it down to the sand-trap where they test fired guns and started blasting away. It went smoothly for a little...

Recently I had an epiphany about background checks. It seems that they are accepted by just about all gun organizations as "reasonable". It seems intuitive, after all, "we don't want criminals to have guns". Anti-gun folks use this as an excuse to make hay about "gun show loopholes" and other...

I found a newer book in a library called The Gun Debate: What Everyone Needs to Know by Philip J. Cook and Kristen A. Gloss. I half-expected it to be in favor of gun control, but skimming it, it seemed fairly balanced in it's Q & A. One question asks whether gun ownership deters tyranny and...

Over the summer I went to a gun show. The guns were nice, the atmosphere was friendly, and accessories were plentiful. I picked up some goodies. Yet among the typical stuff - guns, knives, gold & silver, etc. were several snake-oil peddlers. One sold "essential oils", another sold a hologram...

The Second Amendment Foundation is seeking to take-over the financially troubled Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership. The SAF has won useful court battles, but notably, was lambasted for its recent support of "universal background checks". The JPFO is a pro-gun educational...

I mentioned in another thread that Bill Clinton banned importation of Chinese firearms. Then I realized, aren't Padner firearms (like the Padner Protector) Chinese made? Was that lifted, or is there somehow a way around it?

There seems to have been a lot of high-profile shootings in the news lately. I know that there's another thread in this vein, but I'm not saying we should "do" anything. As I'm seeing another incident in the news, followed by another, and then another, I'm steadily growing concerned about what...

This news shocked the heck out of me, in a good way. The Saint Louis Police Department is auctioning off 29 prohibition-era Thompson Submachine guns in order to purchase new sidearms. The cheapest is appraised at $14,000. Here's an article, which includes information on the auction, and a...
