I'm interested in picking up a Taurus or RIA 1911. They've been out for several years now, and I was wondering if they held up as well as their higher priced brothers. I tend to look at a gun as a lifetime investment, but any money I save on one, I can spend on another. The reviews I see...

I have an old Marlin 336 in 30-30 sold as a Western Field. I got it already scoped at a gun show for a pretty good price. It's my deer rifle. I live in a hilly part of the country, and my max shot is going to be about 200 yards, which is fine since my 50+ year old eyes ain't what they...

I bought a Marlin 336 30-30 last weekend at a gun show. It came with a no-name scope attached on see-through rings, and the original front sit post bent to the right about 30 degrees. I took it to the range yesterday to see what worked and what didn't. The rifle went bang every time I...

Bought my first shotgun at a gunshow yesterday. It's a Westernfield 500A, 26" barrell with an adjustable choke. A Westernfield 500A is a rebranded Mossberg 500. It appears to have an aluminum reciever and will take either 2-3/4 or 3" shells. The serial number is B28xxx, but I don't have any...

I've read where a number of members here have had a pistol stolen over the years. I joined that number sometime between Sunday afternoon and Monday morning. It was taken from the center console in my truck. The pistol was a nice CZ-82, with extra magazine and cheap holster. That stinks...

Everything I don't know about shotguns would fill several books. Everything I do know about shotguns, I learned on the internet. I am ignorant. Much of what I know is incorrect. I've read, here on THR and on other sites, that shooting buckshot (or any shot for that matter) out of a...

I can't justify spending a whole lot of money on this project, but I'd like to build a scout rifle. My initial thought was to get a Mosin Nagant M38 to work on. (I already have an M44 that I like well enough). I then got the bright idea to buy a 91/30, and cut the barrel down to about 20"...

Has anybody out there tinkered with the safety on a CZ-82? Mine is very loose, loose enough that my thumb can nudge the weapon into safe while I'm recovering from my last shot. I guess I've got a bit of a high grip. There's no definite click or anything, the safety lever goes into and out...

Took my new (to me) Norinco 1911A1 to the local indoor range today. It's my first 1911, well at least since I got out of the Army and didn't have free guns, anyway. My Norc is pretty accurate, actually it may be the most accurate of the seven handguns I own. I don't claim to be a great, or...

Picked up my new (to me) CZ-82 from my new FFL on Tuesday. I ordered it from makarov.com, who advertised it as near mint. I don't have words to express just how beautiful this gun is. Except for a little wear down by the business end, the finish, which looks like a gray powdercoat, was flawless...

I think I can get a Rock Island Tactical for about $450 or maybe a Taurus PT 1911 for a little over $500. I'm left-handed so I want the ambi-safety, and I'm old so I need the bigger sights. Any advice? Thanks.
