I bought a police trade-in Glock 22 recently. I've had it to the range once and hated the trigger. I've shot S&W Sigma's that felt better. It took real effort to get it to break and threw my aim off. I was told that it probably had a New York trigger in it. If that is the case, I...

I've been seeing alot of these used Glock 22's in the shops lately. I assume they are first generation models. The serial numbers are usually 00xxx DPD. Detroit Police Department is stamped on the right side of the slide. I found one at a shop today at $350, with 3 14rd mags. Around here...

I traded for a like new .357 Gaucho recently. With my trade, I only have a little over $200 in the gun. It's a 7.5" barrel, case colored frame, and locks up tight as new. I shot it yesterday with some .38spl. ammo. It's still really hard to find .357 around here. It was very accurate and...

I recently got a nice stainless single shot NEF in .45Colt/.410. It has a 20" barrel on it. It's a rifled barrel, for the .45 and, of course, you can shoot the .410 in it, with a choke tube. How much can I expect to see out of this gun in .45? Will it handle hot hunting loads? Is there a...

I stopped in a pawn shop the other day and looked at the tactical shotguns again. I like a short, easy to swing shotty, but want more options then just the open cyl. on most. Then I found a model 500 sitting nearby. It was a 20 inch, factory barrel, vent rib, bead sight, and uses the...

I bought a Sig P6 recently. It only came with one mag. I looked at shops around here and factory mags were about $45 each. I have seen ProMag magazines, which are half that. The general buzz on the forums seems to be negative about them. But I noticed they are advertised with a lifetime...

I just bought a used 9mm S&W model 6946. I really like it, it seems like a very nice, accurate gun. I got it with the box and owner's manual, but only one 10rd mag. Looking up info on it, I saw a comment on one site that said I could use the 59 series mags with it. Is that right? I see 59...

I saw one of these raygun looking pistols at the past weekend's gun show. I thought they had been recalled, or are they back in business? It was being offered as new, I forget the price tag, except it was pricey. Are they still around, or was someone selling old stock?

Looking at on-line auctions, I found a guy selling a Russian Makarov, like new(he says). The ad says it's been in a safe for years, holster and extra mags included. The asking price is $1,169. and some change. Now, I know Mak prices have gone up, but is a Mak worth that much now? Would any...

A local shop got in a Python. It is a 4 inch, blued model. It has black rubber grips on it. It locks up good, but it is not in great cosmetic condition. There is bluing loss on the barrel and a little pitting at the end of the barrel. There is a turn line, and a little blue loss on the high...

I've seen a couple of these lately. They are a polymer framed, DAO model that CZ makes. Any owners here? What do you think of the gun? Generally, I assume anything made by CZ is going to be good. I found a used one in a shop recently, a .40S&W version, and just wondered what experience...

Academy has a number of high capacity mags on the shelf right now, all made by ProMag. I saw 15rd mags for the Ruger P90, 20rd mags for XD's and Taurus, etc. All were priced at $19.99. What is the quality of ProMag? Are they reliable, well made mags? If they are good, they seem like a bargain.

A shop near me got in a couple FEG's. One is a PA63 in 9x18 for $159. The other is an SMC in .22 for $199. They are both Walther clones, and for the price, I don't expect Walther standards, but are they worth the price for plinkers/CC? It would be nice to have enough money left over to buy...

This was a good man that alot of us locally traded with often. His house was next door to his shop, which was out of town, in a quiet area. The shop near my house was talking about the fact that you just don' know who may come in the store to just look around, or may be casing the place. I...

I saw this ad for a new palm pistol. I have heard that palm pistols are a big no-no with today's regulations, something about barrel length, etc. What do you think? http://www.palmpistol.com/

I was looking at a nice, used Taurus 145 Mill.Pro last night night. If any of you own one, what do you think of it? Is it reliable, hard recoil, accurate? Also, I have lots of rounds of 230gr. lead round nose ammo. Can you shoot lead through these, or should I stick with copper coated stuff?

I saw a real nice 608 for sale yesterday. 4 inch barrel, blue, very clean and tight lock up. I could have it for $300. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it had a ported barrel. If I understand it all right, the ported barrel will reduce muzzle flip, get me on target faster,etc...

I was looking at a Glock 27 at the gun store today. Any owners willing to tell me how you like it? Is it comfortable to shoot if I take it to the range for target practise? Does it take any of the other Glock .40 magazines? I can find mags for the model 22 anywhere. TIA

The latest issue of Shooting Times has a short review of a new, smaller, Sharps type rifle that they say Charles Daly will be offering(page 76). I went to the Daly site and couldn't find it listed. In fact it had the word "discontinued" in red letters on the top of the rifle page! Anyone...

I just bought a new XD9 sub-compact on Monday. I haven't had a chance to take it to the range yet, but I was reading old posts about them and I have a question about the finish. I've read that the old finish had problems and that they have a new one that does better. How can I make sure what...
