I am going to get a Savage 110 soon, probably an old used one. I want it for deer, and maybe the occasional elk, if I ever get another elk permit. Most used 110's are 30.06, 7mm, sometimes 270, and 300. I am leaning towards a 7mm or a 30.06, but have never shot either. Now, I know that it...

I am finally contemplating getting a double barrel (SXS) shotgun, after wanting one for many years... preferably a nice older European make. But, being uninformed about the terms used in shotguns, I am a bit confused. Can you help me out with explaining some of these, and what the terms mean...

My gal shoots a pair of Single Sixes in .32 H&R mag, and I am thinking of getting her a pair of Vaqueros or Blackhawks in a larger caliber... perhaps .44 or .45 LC. How much different is the feel, recoil, etc? She is 5'9", and solid, but I don't want to overdo it. I have never fired the larger...

I recently bought an old Colt that had been reblued in the past, and it got me to thinking. How can you tell if a pistol has been reblued? Also, how does it affect the value of an old collectible firearm? I admit to not knowing very much about it, and so I'd appreciate some thoughts on the...

Dad is 89 now, and going strong. Several months ago he was reminiscing on his Army Air Corps days in the pacific. I knew he had been on the Air Force pistol team in the mid 1950's, shooting the Colt 1911, but he had never mentioned his sidearms during the war... until I mentioned that I wanted...

I am interested in buying a new 9mm semi-auto to do some range shooting with. Thinking about the CZ 75B. My 15 year old wants to go to the range and see what it is all about... is the 9mm a reasonable caliber for a 15 year old to shoot comfortably? (I have never had a 9mm before).

I started the thread about hiding serial numbers and it had me ruminating on some crimes committed by idiots in the past. I have always remembered reading in a news magazine about 20 years ago that there was a bank robber in the southeast US that went into a bank with a gun and a note. The...

I have noticed quite a few times, reading the forums and looking at auctions that people are very wary of posting a serial number, but usually call it something like 1234XXX. Is there a reason for this? I am trying to figure out why people would hide serial numbers... any thoughts? - The...

Way back in 1968, My roommate in College was Bob. I owned a Ruger Single six, and I bought a Semi-auto shotgun, so what did Bob do? He bought the same pair of arms... we were Wildlife Science majors, so it seemed the natural thing to do. Our other two roommates, Don and Walter were hunters, and...

Hello... I am a new member, and want to get back into guns. I had a Ruger Single Six that I sold back in the late 1970's, and would like to own one again. Can someone give me some info on the pistol... I understand that recent versions have a "warning" stamped on the barrel... when did this...

I find this photograph fascinating, and thought I would share it. It is of Pancho Villa (center) in 1914 in the town of Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, along with some of his "Villistas". These fellows were not ones to fool with... especially if you were a Rurale or a Federale. I am trying to track...

I am getting back into pistols after a long hiatus. I have wanted a 1911 Colt for probably 40 years now (My father was on a USAAF pistol team). A question... Should I prowl the shows and shops for a real 1911 vintage, or are the current pistols marketed by such makers as Springfield Armory...
