    Suggestions for what gun to hand down later

    My wife and I are having a son in a month or so, and while I was daydreaming during the baby safety class last night about some of the nuances of my childhood, it occurred to me that I wished my dad had been into firearms, and had taught me more about them. (Nothing against him, he did a great...

    Flying with guns - can anything else be in the locked gun case

    I'm flying from Nashville to San Antonio on Southwest. My gun will be packed in a Pelican 1450 case, which has plenty of room left in it. Are there any regulations prohibiting me from putting non-gun related items in my locked pelican gun case? Specifically my wife's digital SLR, and probably...

    Smith & Wesson Model 39 only fires DA

    I'm working an old Model 39, and I believe it is supposed to be DA on the first shot, then SA after that. If I insert snap caps and rack the slide, the hammer stays cocked, but with a mild jarring of the frame it will fall. When shooting it at the range, the hammer never stays cocked, so...

    Is it OK to carry snubbies in your back pocket...

    and sit on them occasionally? Any chances of bending the crane or anything else important? specifically a 442 in a nemesis in my case.

    What makes some 1911s so expensive?

    So I don't know much about 1911s, but they really seem to run the gamut in terms of price. When I first got more interested in firearms (not that long ago), I was under the impression that 1911s started at maybe $800ish and climbed into the upper heavens if you wanted something "custom". Then...

    Our Alarm went off this morning...

    Around 4AM I woke up absolutely thirsty, so I got up and grabbed a drink, laid in bed drinking it, and my wife had some too as she was thirsty, and is a light sleeper, so she always knows when I get up for anything. Everything was normal, finished the drink, went back to sleep. A bit before 6AM...

    Should Snap Caps Spark when dry firing?

    Searched but didn't find anything on this. Just got an DAO airweight .38, and bought some of the Azoom aluminum snap caps to practice dry firing this 47 lb trigger before I went to the range. I noticed when the firing pin falls, a small spark appears. :scrutiny: Is this "normal"?

    XD9 - Talk me into (or out of) bitone finish...

    After much reading the internet and renting about every gun available at 3 different ranges, I've made the decision to purchase an XD9SC, primarily for concealed carry. I'm hung up on whether or not the bitone (silver colored stainless steel) is worth the extra $50. I'm looking at $440 for...

    Holster for S&W Model 39

    I just got my CC Permit and need a decent holster. I currently have 2 uncle mike's, a paddle and a shoulder. I don't really like shoulder carry due to the weight, and I'm not in love with wearing a jacket when it's hot. I would like the paddle, but for trying to conceal anything I feel like...
