I have an opportunity to latch on to a lightly used Series 80 Colt Commander 1991A1 for $575 OTD, one with the old roll mark billboard. I haven't been able to try the trigger yet, but know some shooters object to the harder/creepier pull caused by the firing pin safety. I don't know if it'll...

I got my grandfather's Winchester 24 down this weekend to give it a good cleaning. The guns 60+ years old and he's been dead since '56, so the gun doesn't get a lot of use. After I oiled the receiver and barrels well and wiped them down, prior to re-assembling the gun, I snapped both triggers...

I was doing some web surfing this weekend, mostly concerning British pistol laws and armed police officers when I was directed to links on Wikipedia. Yes, I know that Wikipedia isn't the end-all in authoritative research, but this article got me asking some questions. One article dealt with...

I recently had a heart monitor prescribed. For esoteric and arcane reasons, it's worn on the right side. I have four weeks of this. I explained my difficulty to the cardiologist and he scowled, saying, in effect, "Go lefty." Actually, he was sympathetic since he also carries strong (right for...

I see where summitgunbroker.com has LCPs and SP101s available. I don't have any connection w/ the company, just that he's good folk to deal with.

I see that J&G Sales in Arizona have an S&W 99c in 9mm for $390. That seems lik a good price. I aready have a Glock 26 and CZ 100 which are tactically similar to the 99. Although both the Austrian and Czech pistols are OK, as far as I'm concerned, I could get rid of either and never miss it...

A few issues ago, Shotgun News ran an article about a highly modified Colt 1908 pistol in .380 ACP. The author had combat sights replace the small original arrangement; he fitted a 1911-style magazine release (which entailed cutting a slot in the magazine body); and he had the pistol dehorned...

I've pretty much decided my next gun is going to be a single stack 9mm for carry. I'd like a ceiling price of $500, although I can go higher if need be. Being a cheap, SOB, though, the less money on the gun, the more on the ammo, the more time at the range. :) Most likely candidate will be a...

A cousin died and he left me our grandfather's .22 Remington. It's a 12A, takedown, 22" barrel. I know they quit making them in 1936. I was wondering what year it was made. The serial number is 595XXX. Thanks for the information in advance.

I had noticed it before during regular maintenance, but never thought about it. Then the light bulb went off. Looking down the mag well of my CZ 100 polymer frame 9mm, you can see, clearly stamped in a metal insert, "GUN." It's in better than 1/4 inch letters. Of course, it's not otherwise...

Something new happened to me this morning. Taking my morning summer walk, I slipped my usual Smith Model 36 in my pocket. On my three mile route there are lots of dogs, so I carry CCI shotshells for the first two rounds and three wadcutters, followed up by a speedloader of solids. Getting home...

I went to the big Houston show at Reliant Arena Sunday with the goal of buying a pistol. I had set myself two possible targets, a summer carry piece or a "classic." Texas Gulf Coast heat and humidity had me decided on a single stack nine, like a Smith 908. For a classic, I was searching for a...

Yesterday I bought my first double-action only striker fired and first polymer frame pistol when I decided to go with the CZ 100 as a cold weather carry weapon. As a guy who started big bore shooting with the standard 1911 Colt, I hope I didn't make too many changes too fast. There won't be a...

I need a duty holster, leather or Kydex, for a Glock 23. Prefer a thumb break or "roll top". Any favorites out there?

I've been a lurker here for several months and I love this site; now I need some advice. In a couple of weeks, I'm moving from a subrban residential area, to a rural residential area. That means going from 50 yards to 300 yards. I've got 3 9mms and other pistols, a 9mm. carbine, 3 12 gauges, but...
