    New Taurus model 66

    Found one at the gun show today. Guy said I could give him $140 and my Shooters arms 1911 .45 that I paid 350 for new 6 months ago. I might be able to get him down another $20 if I can find the original grips for the 1911 and mention to him that I have 2 extra 8 round Pro-Mags. Hell probobly...

    I just acquired a used H&R model 949 (.22 lr) and was wondering if anyone dould describe the manual of arms (how to safely handle) this weapon. It loads like a SAA but the trigger is DA as well.

    Transporting pistols from AZ to MD

    So I'm flying to MD on Saturday and am trying to decide how to get my pistols there with me. I know the TSA regulations but would like to avoid any complications with my travel plans. This would be my first time flying with firearms and I am leery of trying it. I can legally ship (UPS or...

    New GLOCK question

    I just picked up a used but like new G19. it has the letters MPBPD engraved in the slide. Any idea what this means? I googled MPBPD and it didnt turn up any police departments and if it was intended to be issued it certainly never was because the finish is still perfect. Also, I heard...

    Favorite 1911 mags.

    What are your favorite 1911 mags. I want to know what works best for your gun. I just got into 1911's and started out cheap with a Shooters Arms Military 1911. The factory mag works alright but the after-market no name 7 rounder barely fits in the gun and if I pull it out while loaded it spills...

    1911 hammer only falling to half cock

    I went to J and G Sales this afternoon and bought a NIB Shooters Arms 1911. Took it out to shoot right after. A couple rounds fired and then the gun stopped working. I realized that when I was pulling the trigger the hammer was only lowering to half cock, not striking the firing pin. I was able...

    Calling all CZ 82 owners...

    So, I just got a new (to me) CZ 82. I have some questions. 1. Anyone else have problems with their grips coming loose? I'm having to tighten the grips after every 2-3 mags. The screws look to be stripped around the top; but then I don't know what they're supposed to look like. They tighten...

    Reccomendations needed for clay pigeon launcher

    Hello all, I'm thinking of asking for a clay pigeon launcher/ thrower for Christmas. I've done a little shopping on-line but I figured I'd ask around here too. I'd like something that can be remote operated (by voice or foot pedal maybe) by one person that way I can shoot by myself, if I so...

    Defensive driving: WWYD?

    Hello all, I'm feeling greatful that I'm able to write this post right now and am not in a helicopter being flown to the ICU. I don't pray but incidents like this make me reconsider that choice. I was on my way home from a friends house a half hour ago (3:00 a.m. EST) and was almost in a...

    Springfield Hi-Cap 1911's

    Who's got 'em? Who's fired 'em? Who can compare 'em to a Para Hi- Cap or a standard Springfield 1911? I ask because I'd never seen 'em before and I'm wondering why the reserve on this pistol was so low: http://gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=85375044 Just as good as any other...

    What caliber for Opossum? And night shooting is hard.

    Ok, so I woke up about 30 minutes ago to violent shreiks from just outside my window. I looked and saw an Opussum fighting my cat. I grabbed my bug out bag with light and large knife and dug up a co2 bb pistol. I ran out the front door of my apartment and around to the side where the fight was...

    Recoil reduction for Rem 700?

    Sorry if this has been discussed but I searched and it turned up close to nothing relevent. Anyway, I have a Remington 700 SPS in .308 and it kicks like a mule. I wouldn't consider myself "recoil sensitive"; I have no problem putting 3 inch slugs and buckshot through my 870 but the 700 beats...

    Gun under the pillow?

    Who keeps a handgun under their pillow? I saw the Lets see your HD weapons thread and a number of people indicated that they keep some sort of handgun under their pillow. I would think that this would result in the muzzle being pointed in a most unsafe direction. Is this really a good idea?

    #4 long range vs. #4 buck: What's the difference?

    A friend just sold his shotgun and gave me a box of shells. They're Remington #4 shot long range. 3 3/4 dram 1 1/4 ounce #4 shot. Is this similar to #4 buck? Sorry if it's been discussed, search button isn't working for me right now.
