I just want to give a brief shout out for Kershaw customer service. My Kershaw Leek folding knife had a blade break failure at the location of the thumb stud. Followed their online instruction, I sent a check for $10 for a new blade + $7 for shipping and handling. When they returned my knife...

I have a High Standard Derringer, Model DM-101 Model in .22mag that does not reliably fire the upper chamber. From looking at the mechanism, it’s my opinion that the problem is in the design geometry of the internal parts. The firing pin (for want of a better term) alternates between the top and...

There are guns that I buy and keep, and then there are those that I decide that I don’t need and sell. Only to find that I miss one and end up buying another years later. Case in point: the Ruger P-series I’ve owned a P-95 and - IIRC - a P-85 at different times. I decided that they were too...

I’ve long wanted one of the Iver Johnson Cadet revolvers for range us and general enjoyment. And I’ve always thought that they were small and handy for pocket carry (just a yard & garden gun, not serious EDC given the calibers). Just recently got an IJ Model 55-SA; this one is .32S&W long...

Does anyone know what models Taurus is manufacturing at their Bainbridge, GA facility? I’m a resident of Georgia and I’m always looking for an excuse to buy another firearm. I am glad Georgia has: 1. Glock in Smyrna, 2. H&K in Columbus, 3. Daniel Defense in Ellabell, 4. Honor Defense in...

I’ve searched old threads, & while there are plenty discussing slide swap compatibility, my question goes a little deeper. And my questions only concern Gen3 (& Gen2) 9mm handguns. Which internal parts of the slide are interchangeable between models 17, 19, & 26? And which internal parts of...

I was musing this morning, waiting for a doctor’s appointment to roll around, when this random thought crossed my mind. If a firearm doesn’t have a serial number, what individual component is the firearm in the eyes of the law? I have a few old long guns - Glenfield/Marlin Model 60, J C...

In the past couple of years of looking for bargains and project guns, i have ended up with two ugly Glock 17 frames. One is a gen2 frame that is shortened to Glock 19 length - the frame was a LE trade and had such severe wear at the bottom that the jagged plastic edge would draw blood if you...

I live in southern Georgia, & this is a testament to the fact that guns owned by law abiding citizens are not a problem. The attached picture is of a fund raising raffle ticket from our police department. Notice that of the three prizes, two are firearms, & one is an AR-15!! I thought this was...

Wather's replacement of the broken slide on my P22 went above what I expected. Full story: I let them know that I was not the original owner, that I had +/-2000 rounds through the gun, and that I bought the gun from a gun range with an unknown round count. And I asked for the cost of a...

Is there a larger capacity safe (or safes) set up specifically for a handgun collection? Ideally it would hold 30 to 50 handguns. (I know there is always the option of just adding shelving inside a long gun safe)

I have a couple of old revolvers that are beyond their shooting days, & I am considering making them non-functional display items. On each I would remove the firing pin and plug both the chambers and the barrel. What materials are best to fill the chambers and barrels? Epoxy, lead, other? I'd...

With recent world events, I'm posting to introduce an idea/suggestion for gun free zones. I propose that locations that are gun free zones by legislative action and by private ownership decision be made legally responsible for the protection and security of their customers, clients, vendors...

Hello, I'm cchangfire, and I'm a firearms enthusiast. (as my support group, the forum answers back, "Hello, cchangfire!") I have a couple of guns I've accumulated that I'd like to stage in my home for defense purposes, & I'm asking for suggestions and thoughts. The guns are: a 20" single barrel...

Could someone who has experience with both the Beretta 1934 and the Cheeta (models 83, 84, 85) give a comparison of these two .380acp pistols? I can see the obvious differences in safeties & mag releases, and know the 84 is higher capacity since it's double stack. How does shootabiliy...

I have a S&W Model of 1905 of manufacture date around +/-1908 (SN 138xxx) that is well worn. I'm getting it back in shape as a range shooter, & so far I have replaced the hand & the cylinder release parts-- timing is now good and the broken/mismatched cylinder release is looking better and...

I'm selling a few firearms to thin the collection, and a LGS owner made a comment that peaked my interest. Now being back to school time, he mentioned that his inventory is rising (used guns obviously) since folks need $ for school clothes and supplies. They are selling guns for the cash & not...

I need some guidance. I have a French MAB Model C in .380acp. Neat pistol w/ grip safety & striker fired, imported by WAC post WWII through the 70's I believe. The problem is an extremely tight fit of the magazines. I've tried polishing the mags plus various wet & dry lubricants without much...

I am buying a Knickerbocker SxS 12 gage & am considering making a coach gun from it. The shotgun is early 1900 American made, and is in sound mechanical shape but with no finish left and with a butt stock that needs some repair I know these guns aren't generally collector guns and don't have...
