Hey Guys/Gals, I recently acquired a Browning Hi Power, but I am not familiar with this particular gun all that much, so I'm confused about which "version." I have. It's a 9mm with wood (walnut) grips, and here is what it says on each side: On the left side of the slide, it says...

I'm looking at trading for a buddy's AK variant, but I have some questions about it. It is built much like a Hungarian AMD 65, but with all the paint on it (don't ask) I'm not sure if it's an FEG receiver or not. I am not sure about the quality of this model, but this is what is stamped on the...

Hey guys and gals. I got a Mossberg 500 APR from a buddy of mine. He cut the wooden buttstock down an inch or two and it has no buttpad. I didn't care for the length of pull with this short stock and plan to replace it. I was thinking it would be easy to replace the stock with some new...

Does anyone know if the S&W 442 can handle +p ammunition? Mine says .38 special on the barrel, doesn't say +p, but I wanted to know. Reason being, there are far more reasonable/good +p choices of ammo available to me locally than there are plain old .38 special, when it comes to hollow point...

I bought a stainless 3" barrel revolver today, mostly on a whim. It cost me $200 cash. I checked it out, looked like it hadn't been shot much, finish is darn near perfect, lockup is good and tight. It's marked "Interarms", "made in Brasil", and when you unlatch the cylinder, it says M 89, so...

I had a rough experience today, but part of it was my fault. I bought a brand new Beretta 92A1 three days ago, a gun I had been wanting for some time. I took it to the range today, having brought several 50 round boxes of PMC FMJ 115 grain ammunition. While at the range, I also bought some...

I traded for a Springfield 1911 A1. It's marked "Factory Comp" near the muzzle. The gun is in EXCELLENT shape. Only one issue. The guy I got it from got it from the original owner, who was an idiot. The comp has been takent off. Now, the threads on the barrel seem to be fine. Nothing else...

These days, most S&W revolvers are labeled +p or not. But the model 60 is an older weapon. Is it okay to shoot +p .38 special out of these guns? If not, I may or may not want one. It's not that I think that +p is needed, but I buy some +p offerings from Speer and from Georgia Arms. I have...

Friend of mine found one, but he likes the bigger revolvers, especially in .44 magnum. He's willing to trade me my Taurus Raging Bull (with some cash) for the Smith, which actually comes in it's original box. It doesn't seem to have seen many rounds. Good deal? I've kind of been wanting to grab...

As much as I like the Glock 23, and I'll probably buy another one some day....the XD-M 3.8 is whispering in my ear. I'm sure I want one in .40. Picked a couple of them up at the store, one black, the other bi-tone. I'm afraid to touch them again, they felt so good. So, does anybody out...

I'm sure some will call me a fool. Others will say I'm a blasphemer. And the die-hard Glocksters will burn me in effigy, despite not knowing what I look like. Simple fact is, I had finally ponied up enough dough to get one of these brand new super-duper HK45s. Niiiiice looking gun. Very...

Looking at one that seems almost brand new with night sights and three 13rd mags. Price is around $600. I had a USP .45 that I liked, but one thing I can say: recoil reduction system my a**! While recoil in general doesn't bother me, that gun sure was flippy. I guess the high bore axis didn't...

Let me start off by saying that I prefer not to get a WASR. A lot of them have wobbly magwells and others have canted sights. Other than that.... The ones I've been looking at that are available locally are the Yugo underfolder, the AMD-65, and the Century "bullpup." The AMD looks really...

What's a good hollowpoint bullet to use in a 1911? I just bought a Springfield Armory Loaded 1911a1. It has the usual Loaded Model stuff: ambidextrous safety, extended beavertail, tritium night sights, nicer trigger and hammer, etc. I want a good load that won't jam up the action. Some...

I just picked up what seems to be a fairly decent deal. It's a Sig Mauser M2 in .40. The gun has been used, but not a whole lot. It's chunky and has slightly strange take-down procedures, as well as a weird manual safety on the rear of the weapon, just below the bottom of the slide. The trigger...

Finally going to get myself a .44 magnum. The last one I had was a Ruger Super Redhawk with a 9.5 inch barrel. Since I don't hunt with handguns, it was kind of pointless for me to have it (I bought it on a whim because it was big, stainless, and fun to shoot-and got it for less than $400)...

I just recently came into possession of a Smith and Wesson 686 plus, the 3" stainless version. I have my wonderful wife to thank for this. It's a 686-5, which I know is not that old of a revolver (but not sure what the manufacture year is). I like it a great deal from just the feel of it, but...

Just picked up an LEO trade-in Sig 229 (regular ol' DA/SA trigger) with rail, night sights, 3 12rd mags for $550. The gun looks almost new. Really. Not a scratch on it, and no holster wear to speak of. I doubt if it's even seen much more than a few hundred rounds. I figured I was lucky to get...

Okay, I've finally found it. I have been wanting either a Remington 870 Tactical or an 1100 tactical. I already know where I can get the 870. I've finally found the 1100 tactical. It's the same OD green color, has the speedfeed IV stock (full buttstock and pistol grip with R3 pad on the back)...

I know it seems like a dumb question to at least some of you, but I really don't know. I know my pistols are drop-safe. If nothing gets in the trigger guard, it's pretty much okay if they are dropped (assuming you don't try to catch it and engage the trigger somehow). But I really don't know if...
