Since the stay at home order has given me some added free time to go through my gun room, I thought about two interesting $75 dollar purchases I made (that ended up costing me more) The first one was a 50s era Marlin 336 in 35 Remington, that was missing the Lever and the Bolt. I walked into...

I picked up a Colt Agent this week for a great deal and just had to share! I stopped by a Gander Mountain in my area on my way home for work and it was the only new thing in their used case: A Colt Agent for $249.99! After looking it over a while, figuring for sure there was something...

Took a trip to a local gun show today and ended up coming home with a Marlin Model 60; the old style with the 18 round magazine tube. The wood looked almost perfect and the warning sticker about only using 22lr was still on the bottom; the bore was nice and shiny. The only flaw was some of the...

I thought I'd brag a little bit about my latest find. Two weeks ago I took an out of town trip to watch my alma mater play a football game. With time to kill before the late game, I stopped into a local gun shop. There it was in the pistol case: a pre war Walther PPK, 7.62 (32 ACP) with...

I bought myself an early Christmas present: A Charter Arms Undercover. I had one about a year ago and wish I had never traded it towards another purchase. I had been carrying a model 60 as one of my CCW guns for a while but was thinking about getting the hammer bobbed on it. I perfer my...

Today, I helped my Dad buy his first handgun! My dad got his CCW a few months ago. He finally decided he wanted a Sig for his carry gun an we spent the day going to local shops. He finally settled on a Sig P230SL, used, w/ two mags, for around $400. He liked the size of the gun and the way...

This past weekend I popped into a gun store I hadn't been in for some time. I used to pop in once a week when I lived near the store but since moving into the city, I don't get up that way as often. The owner immediately said "I'm glad you're here! You work in computers for your company...

For a year or two now, I've been keeping my eye out for a S&W 940, a hammerless j-frame in 9mm. Most of the listing on gun broker I've seen go for upwards of $700. A few local shops that have gotten them have also put them on gun broker where the auctions easly got that high or they priced...

Last Friday I stopped by a gun store near my car dealership and found a vintage Charter Arms Undercover .32 in about 90% condition for $165. The shop also had a set of wrap-around factory grips for $25 dollars; also picking up a box of ammo, the whole thing cost me about $230. This is by far...

I finally got to pass something "up" to my Dad. My Dad pretty much tought me how to fish. From how to tie a hook onto a line, to set the bait, how to take the fish off the hook etc. We still go on a fishing trip every year and he still manages to teach me something. He grew up in New...

A local shop has a Ruger Security Six with a 2 inch barrel, hogue grips, blue finish at about 85%. Also the previous owner tried badly to paint the front sight orange. They are asking $370 out the door. I was thinking about picking it up but thought I would run it by my fellow revolver...

Walked into a neighborhood shop yesterday and it caught my eye at the bottom of the used case: An H&R 929, .22lr, in 95% condition with the box and papers for $150. The serial number starts with AY, putting its manufacture in 1982. I've been looking for a good plinking pistol and after...

I heard this the other day and I just can't wrap my brain around it: After work yesterday, I headed out shooting at a local range/shop with a friend of mine; I realized my card for an hour of free range time expired today. I heard one of the people behind the counter mention that there are...

Got a new pony for the herd. It followed me home from the gun show this weekend. Its at about 90% condition; with slight carry wear around the end of the barrel and the backstrap. It also came with a Colt holster. I traded a Smith & Wesson 10-5 for it plus some $. It came with original wood...

I'm looking for a safariland speedloader for a colt detective special. Most online stores have it listed as out of stock. If anyone knows where I can get one or has one to sell; it would be much appreciated.

Charter Arms -- Purchase Advice Just thought I'd run this one buy everyone: A local gun shop has a used 1st Generation Charter Arms 5-shot .38spl, 85-90% condition for $189. Most of my revolvers are Smith & Wessons or Colts; I'm not all up on Charter Arms. I do know most people who have...
