    When only the military has arms...

    A link to a story about a pending military coup in Fiji. They are taking the arms from the few police units that are even allowed weapons. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,20867181-661,00.html

    Maryland man, 34, charged with pretending to be a policeman

    Why do many reporters feel compelled to use phrases like "arsenal", "semi-automatic" and "assault" when writing about firearms?? Do they think it makes them sound knowledgeable or is it just an anti way or trying to scare the masses?? Geez, how about "he had several firearms at his home...

    Trade and purchase gone bad

    I did talk to the guy Friday-he said that when his retirement check comes in two weeks he will settle up with me. He also said that he was being "straight up" with me and that one of the pistols is in a pawn shop and he can't afford to get it out until this check comes.........AAARRGGHHHHH! I...

    Trade and purchase gone bad

    I would like some advice on how to proceed with this. I traded a handgun to someone out of state back in May. I sent the pistol overnight to his FFL. We also agreed on a sale (Me buying another pistol he had listed for sale in one of the forums). I sent him a postal money order for the...

    DC Area Gun Owners!!! Gun Show at Dulles Expo Center!

    I was there Saturday and have two complaints. One, $10 to enter the show? C'mon, that's a little steep. Most of the shows in Virginia are $5. The second is the BIG sign out front stating that concealed carry was forbidden. Is it just me or is it kind of crazy that a place that is...

    Carry gun and sweating problem

    I have started wearing a coolmax running singlet under my shirts when I carry IWB. The Coolmax fabric seems to help keep my skin from being rubbed by the grips and keeps the pistol dry.

    Shoulder holster recommendation

    I had a Galco Miami Classic and could not make the thing comfortable nor was it easy to draw from--the leather seemed too soft. I used a Mitch Rosen sholder holster when I attended a SIGARMS Academy course and it was great--very comfortable and easy to draw from. Big disadvantage is the...

    The Best 9mm

    $300 is a tough dollar limit. Perhaps a used CZ 75 but if you save a little more you could buy a new one in the mid to high $300 dollar range. You could also look at a police trade in SIG 226--probably going to be in the $400-$450 range though. CDNN is listing FN fullsize Hi Powers for $299...

    Para P-12 vs. Colt officers

    I've been thinking about a smaller 1911 for range and CCW uses, have opportunities to pick up either a used P-12 or a Colt officers. The less than full size 1911's aren't highly recommended by many over on 1911forums due to timing issues with the shorter slide/barrel. Any experience with...

    Officers length grip vs. "full size"

    Looking for opinions on if there is much difference in being able to conceal carry an officer's length grip over a standard full length government/commander grip. Thinking of picking up an officers model for summer, but not sure it will be significantly more concealable. Any...
