I've been looking around and everything is from 2010 or earlier. Additionally, the Gunpal/Gpal website does not exist, showing only a default server page. Is it gone? Did anybody get their money? Is Ben Cannon facing any charges? It's been a while since I saw anything about this, and while I...

Those of us who remember when the Assault Weapons Ban was passed remember what Bill Ruger said, and the backlash was swift and firm. I often wonder how much business Ruger actually lost because of it, but that's a question for another time. The company's policies have changed over time, and the...

Someone on another board that I frequent is looking to liquidate his collection in anticipation of moving to New York City. He has between 10-15 firearms that he needs to sell. If he does them via private sale how many does he need to sell before the BATFE classifies him as a dealer without a...

I have a goodly number of handguns (although you can never have enough), so I decided to take the plunge and get my first long arm. Since it's my first I went with the basic 12 gauge Mossberg 500, although I got the 18.5" Tactical model with the adjustable stock because, well, that's what I...

I just won an auction on Gunbroker for a NIB Ruger 22/45 Mark III. It's my first .22. I've been looking forward to getting one for a long time, but I never could justify it until today. So, for a mere $255 (plus shipping and transfer fees) I get a 4-inch bull-barreled .22 that I can teach my...

I'm looking at getting a few replacement parts/upgrades for my Kimber, and one of them is a flat mainspring housing with attached magazine well. In the listing it says that it may require "fitting" by a gunsmith. Now, if I already have OEM parts on the gun, why would replacement OEM parts not...

The following pictures are of a 357SIG casing, resulting from a fired round that my friend mindlessly loaded into my Kimber Tactical Ultra II chambered for .45 ACP: The gun fired, amazingly not causing any damage. I was not watching him load the weapon because I was working...

I bought this gun used, so I do not know how many rounds it has through it. As a result I find that I want to replace the recoil spring. As some of you know, it has a bushingless bull barrel with a double recoil spring, intended to be replaced as one unit. So, here are my questions: 1)...

Museum shooting stirs gun amendment controversy OK, let's evaluate this dispassionately, if we can. Surely Misters Mendelson and Brown will do the same upon further reflection. 1) DC v. Heller was about handguns. A handgun was not used here. 2) Longarms have never, to my knowledge, been...

OK, I'm coming back from BFE soon, and I'll have some money to spend on a new handgun. I'm going to get a 10mm. Why? 1) I want one. 2) I already have a 9mm, 357SIG, .40 S&W, and a .45 ACP in addition to a .357 revolver. 3) I want one. 4) I don't care if you think I shouldn't get one...

I was curious to see what our esteemed Congressmen and women would do on the first day. They didn't disappoint. Wedged in with resolutions honoring Paul Newman, apologizing for slavery, and repealing the 16th and 22nd Amendments, we have a few gun-related bills. H.R.17 : To protect the right...

Does anybody know what handgun he owned that was used in the shooting incident he was purportedly involved in? I ask because Sal Paolantonio from ESPN reported that he was told by Lynne Abraham that it was a "rare, armor-piercing handgun", which is already bunk because the rounds, not the...

It's not so much that I don't understand what the Brady Campaign is all about. I do. I'd imagine that I might feel the same as Sarah Brady or Carolyn McCarthy if my family had been killed or severely injured, and I have a certain empathy with their positions even as I disagree with them...

I admit that I used to be a Glock fanboy. The first handgun I ever fired was a Glock 22, and the first handgun I ever purchased was a Glock 27, which I still have. I know that Glocks polarize opinion, mostly because of their appearance and their fans, who unfortunately assert with regularity...

I graduate in three weeks, my personal 14-year odyssey to learn absolutely nothing and pay out the nose for it is nearly at an end. After it is over I am going to treat myself to a .45. Sounds like a good, solid plan, right? Well, here's the deal: I don't know where to start. So, here's what...

It's been said that you should not unload and reload your weapons repeatedly because it may result in bullet setback. I haven't had that problem with my other autoloaders, but today I noticed that, for the second time, one of my 357SIG hollowpoints was pushed back into the case quite noticeably...

My Sig P239 is chambered for 357SIG. While I don't have any intention of converting it to .40 S&W via drop-in barrel (I've got that caliber covered with my Glock 27), I do wonder why the magazine is not round-interchangeable. I can't think of any other handgun so chambered that requires new...

You know what I'm talking about. Take the newer Glocks for instance. Some of you might say that the looks of a Glock can only improve, but I find that the rail detracts from the appearance quite dramatically. And for what? It gives me a place to attach a flashlight? Right. Who carries a...

OK, this doesn't involve me directly, and I will not say anything that might refer directly to someone in case it is illegal, so bear with me. Someone I know bought a handgun off a guy. It was a face-to-face exchange, and to the best of my knowledge they did not go through an FFL. This...
