    Your favorite TN gun shops?

    Farnsworths Firearms in Vonore. They have display cases full of WWI & 2 firearms and other trophys. Lots of surplus rifles and old sporting guns. Worth a visit just to see it all.

    SP101 Picture Thread

    Here is mine and it's brothers a 3" GP-100 and a 2 3/4" Security Six. I use a Don Hume IWB holster for carry. I can't seem to get decent close ups after dark.

    Cold Steel Spike: Which one?

    I have the regular and the tanto. I prefer the regular. I think the thickness of the blade does not suit the tanto style.

    Taurus 905 9mm,,,anybody shot one?

    I have a 905 and it sticks with everything, +P or not. I wouldn't dare carry it for defense due to this but it is a neat alternative to other snubbies. I have extensively polished the chambers to try and correct the extraction problem but to no avail so far. Yes, recoil can be sharp and I found...

    1851 Navy Conversion Cylinder

    Has anyone tried one of the drop in .38 Special conversion cylinders for the 1851 Navy replicas? They look like fun for plinking with easier cleanup.

    Your least favorite gun

    Mine was a Springfield MilSpec 1911. It would not stay on an IPSC target at 25 yds. A friend of mine bought one just like it at the same shop on the same day. His was equally bad but he had it remade into an excellent weapon with the attention of a good smith. Maybe the factory was having an off...

    Webley Question

    I have an unconverted Enfield No. 2 (.38) marked RAF 1937. Top Breaks are neat weapons. Mine is light and balances well. The single action is light and crisp. I need a Mk. VI to go with it.

    Taurus 9mm Snubbie

    Yes, I own one. Out of the box it exhibited many light strikes and had to go back to the factory. On return the light strikes were fixed but extraction was by rubber mallet only. Dealer said to polish the chambers. I have probably spent four hours polishing but extraction is still next to...

    Older Charter Arms Undercover - Jewel or Junk??

    I have had an Off Duty model for at least 25 years. It was my first centerfire handgun. Other than the front sight falling off once (resoldered by a local smith) it has been fine. It has been accurate and reliable. I didn't use +P in mine either.

    Browning .22 lever

    My cousin has one. It is a beautiful rifle. The lever throw is much shorter than with a Marlin or Winchester. If you're not used to it it won't feel natural. My cousin's is very smooth and accurate (open sights). It is a fun plinker.

    What's the story on the Taurus 905???

    I bought one a month ago and intended to write a review and post it. However on it's first range outing it had so many light strikes that the dealer sent it back to Taurus. It hasen't come back yet. Another thing I found was that unlike my 625, the rounds flopped around a lot in the moon clips...

    Browning Pro 9

    I also have an FNP-9. It came with three sixteen rd mags and does not have a magazine disconnect. The sights are very well regulated. In fact it is the only fixed sight auto I have ever owned that shot to point of aim out of the box. Now, if I could only find a holster.

    Gun show Knoxville

    That was the poorest attended Knoxville show I have ever been to. With the possible exception of one held the same weekend as the Nascar race at Bristol. Still, I did pick up a nice pencil barrel model 64.

    Loudon County (TN) sheriff's captain shot

    Our Sheriff was on the news yesterday saying that he was sure the rifle was unloaded and that they had only received the rifles last week. He reported that they had not issued them yet. This is the same department that had a deputy killed by a sixteen year old last year. The rifles were...

    22 Bearcat

    I have a blued model. It's a fun plinker. Light, small and reasonably accurate. I think it's a good gun to introduce first time shooters to pistols because it is small enough not to intimidate and it is simple and safe for them to use (under supervision of course). I do wish I had gotten the...

    Fnp-9 $

    Bought one in Tennessee for $365 with 3-16 rd. mags. Haven't shot it yet. Maybe this weekend.

    Browning Pro-9

    I just got an FNP-9 I hope to try out tomorrow. It is very light. Also, nicely rounded. No sharp edges. Did the Browning have a safety or only a decocker?

    Funky pistol designs, part XIV: The Browning BDM

    I had a late production BPM-D which was without the DA only mode and with a decocker instead of a safety. I wish I hadn't traded it. It is a neat design.

    colt king cobra

    I have a 6" model. It is very heavy and I also had timing problems out of the box. It went back to Colt and they kept it for three months. When it came back it was OK and has remained so. The action is smooth and it is accurate. I think I paid $379 for it new. The last one I saw at a show was...
