Hi folks, I've just ordered a new Smith & Wesson M&P45c from Woodbury Outfitters (based in Ohio) for $400.99 + $20 shipping. That's a pretty good deal compared to many places that I've checked online, significantly cheaper than even Bud's. Filter for Smith & Wesson, and you'll see it listed...

Guys, Can someone from Houston TX recommend a good lawyer for gun issues, particularly for CHL issues? I've heard that Thomas Wilburn is excellent. Any others or is he the best man for the job? I won't go into details, but it involves an arrest in a prohibited area that did not have the...

Hey guys, I picked up a NIB Mauser HSC-80 (380 cal, 13-shot) last night, and it seems like a nice enough gun. The only problem is that I took it apart to clean the internals, and now I can't get the slide back on. :( Have any of you dealt with reassembly of these Mauser pistols? I pull...

Hey guys, Heads up! CDNN is selling NIB Beretta 92s (full-size and centurion models) for $299! That's a terrific deal if you're interested in a 92. I would order one if I didn't own several of them already. A couple other highlights: Grade A H&K P7 PSPs for $649.99. Very good to excellent...

Hey guys, At the range today, they had two Olympic arms wolverine pistols for sale for $299.99. I checked gunbroker, and the price at the range is actually quite competitive. Are these decent and reliable guns?

I was reading an article about the arrest of the Times Square bombing suspect and the gun that was found in the car parked at the airport. The article from the brilliant NY Times reporter mentioned a Kel Tec "automatic" 9mm pistol with a rifle barrel. That sounds so scary! :D So, which gun...

Hey guys, Recently, I picked up a Glock 17L with the long slide, but am not satisfied with the standard sights. I'm interested in installing something similar to the triangular sights on the steyr pistols. Speed of target acquisition is not so important, just the ability to place...

Hi all, I've been out of town for the past two months, but am back and planning to go to the gunshow at George R Brown this weekend. I handled a CZ P07 Duty at Academy this evening, which I like, but think that I can do better than $449. Has anyone seen it for under $400 at the shows here...

Hey guys, I see that Bud's Guns is selling some used Smith & Wesson model 64-7 revolvers for $279 delivered. Has anyone here ordered one? Is it the pre-lock version with the trigger-mounted firing pin?

Hey folks, I've got a Persian mauser (mint condition, picked up from a gun show), and was wondering if any of you Mauser experts might know the translation of the farsi inscription right behind the receiver on the left side. All the Persian mausers seem to have it. See circled area of...

Hey guys, Today, I picked up an old Smith & Wesson Victory revolver at the gun show, and am trying to determine its approximate production date. I was told that this one dates back to before lend-lease, when revolvers in non-military caliber (in 38 S&W) were shipped to the UK where they were...

Howdy all, I'm going on a road trip to the Black Hills in two weeks, and will be driving up to South Dakota from Texas. I'd like to bring along my new Ruger P95. I've got a Texas CHL which I know is honored in Oklahoma, Kansas, and South Dakota; but not in Nebraska. What are the rules for...

Hi all, I picked up a used Walther PPS for a good price a while back. The only problem is that it's a 40 S&W, and recoils pretty sharply (at least for me). Can this gun be converted to 9mm by a simple barrel swap? I'm assuming that the 40 S&W magazine would feed 9mm ammo.....

Hi all, I didn't know about these guns until a few days ago, and believe that they've become available in this country only recently. Tisas produces a variety of handguns in its factory in eastern Turkey. Their website is: www.trabzonsilah.com. An FFL dealer in Shiner TX was advertising...

Hey all, I've just won a S&W model 6906 on gunbroker. I'd been looking for one at the local gun shows, but the specimen going for $399 + tax all had worn finishes and looked pretty beat up. This one is supposedly in mint condition. It comes with only one 12-round magazine,though. I paid $377...

Ok, hurricane Ike has passed through (my house is undamaged thankfully). Is this weekend's gun show in Conroe TX still on?

Hi everyone, At the Houston gun show, I handled an Armscor MAPI FS in 9mm today. Here's a link to the company's website and these "MAPI" guns: http://www.armscor.com.ph/newprod.htm. I don't know how long these guns have been on the market (it's the first time I've seen them). Good solid...

Hi all, I bought a Dillon 550B progressive press recently (for 45ACP), but have been having a difficult time finding a good source for 230 grain bullets. One local gun store has a box of 500 rounds for about $75 -- not good enough. I'm interested in quantities of 1000 or preferably 2000; but...

Hi all, I'm a busy IT consultant always traveling and decided to give eHarmony a try this week. I'm also an avid gun owner with a collection of 100+ guns. I'm concerned that my "hobby" may scare away any prospective girlfriends. How to defuse this potential problem or deal with it before it...

Hi everyone, I'm in the process of renewing my CHL for Texas and sent in all the paperwork almost 8 weeks back (I mailed it on 2/25). I called Austin last week to confirm that they'd received my envelope, and they had. They told me to call them again if I didn't receive anything within 2-3...
