Timely topic - I'm trying this experiment now. Not that I had a big collection to start, but I sold my two pistols today and my shotgun is on its way out the door this weekend. Took some of the pistol funds and bought a used Ruger Security Six .357M to back up my AK. And those two are all I...

I'm cruising some of the deals for Police trade-in Glocks and have narrowed it down to two options: 3rd Gen G22 with two mags for $349 or 2nd Gen G23 with one mag for $339. Off the bat it looks like the G22 is the better bargain. But I'm rebuilding my collection and the pistol I choose will...

A blue card serves a couple purposes aside from the direct purchase procedure: First, it shows police that you are lawfully able to purchase a pistol in RI. If you are lawfully able to purchase a pistol, and have a pistol in your possession on your property, then the odds are greater that...

While I really wish we could all just trigger-lock our guns, toss them in the trunk and head wherever we please, there's more to consider. First are the types of guns you'll be transporting. The FOPA argument is great in theory but is hardly practicable in this instance. Do you have pistol...

It seems that you can pass through NY if you have permission for the police commissioner of the cities you are travelling though (see McKinney's Penal Law § 265.20). CT allows you to pass through (see C.G.S.A. § 29-38d). Read through 18 U.S.C.A. § 922(a) for the federal guidelines. Google...

I know this has been discussed with regard to model 10s, but I wonder if the same metallurgy concerns will be raised with stainless k frames. I have an opportunity to pick up a NOS model 66 cylinder and 2.5" barrel for a very reasonable price. I also have a late 1990's 4" model 64 that I...

@ JoeMal: The court ruled that Chicago law is unconstitutional, reversed the decision of the Court of Appeals, and remanded (sent back) the case for correction pursuant to its opinion. The courts do not write the law, Illinois still has to change the word of law in its next legislative session...

I appreciate all the input guys. There are two primary reasons the .357 cartridge appeals to me: 1. I'm moving to FL for the summer and think it would be fun to do some hog hunting with it if I could find some private land. I could always bring a rifle though; 2. I fox hunt and if ever, god...

I'm caught between two (well, three) options and I can't figure out which is best for my circumstances. I have a nice 4" 64-5 that locks up solid, is in perfect condition, and has a nice set of grips. I have an opportunity to trade it straight up for a 37 or with just a little more cash for a...

Hi All, I'm moving to Florida only for the summer. I have an RI CCL. There is no CCL reciprocity between FL and RI. Does FL unilaterally recognize permits from out of state? The law I found state the following: 790.015. Nonresidents who are United States citizens and hold a concealed...

If you want as close to a "real" AK as you can get and are not concerned about cost, have you looked into NFA AKs? I've seen dealer sample AKs here in CT and have heard of pre-'86 AKs floating around. All pre-'86 AKs would have been registered in the state by the time the CT AWB rolled around...

Follow privateidaho's link. "Ak-47 'type'" rifles are illegal in CT. The test used by the courts (As established in State v. Kaplan) is the same used by the CT state police: If it looks like an AK-47, functions like an AK-47, and has parts that are interchangeable with an AK-47, then it is an...

I don't have much to compare the BE to in other .45's. Compared to mid-frame Glock (can't recall model right now) it has less muzzle flip, but it's not quite as smooth as a full size 1911. It does weigh 2.5lbs empty so it sucks up most of the recoil and you can feel the weight of the slide...

I've got the Magnum Research Baby Eagle version of the 941 in .45acp, 3.5" barrel without the rail. It sounds like you're looking for the older MR imported models of the Jericho if you want all steel and no rail. I like it well enough, even carry it regularly. The model line exactly...

Dank, I guess I haven't been there for almost two years now. I moved out of state. Too bad to hear about the bad experience, I remember liking the place a lot. I didn't know the service has gone so far downhill. When I was looking for a place to learn to shoot, every shop in RI that I...

I went there when I lived in Providence. At the time I was just getting into shooting and took full advantage of their rental cabinet. Range is clean and there are quite a few corrals. RO's are always present and knowledgable. I do have one story from there that I like to share. First...

It's not so hard to get people on our side. A lot of people just don't know where to start. At school (law student) my girlfriend and I make an active effort to tell people when we are going to the range. A lot of people like the idea of trying shooting sports but don't know how to go about...

For at least twenty four years (as long as I've been alive) my Dad has held the belief that guns weren't necessarily bad, but he wanted nothing to do with them. My Mom held a more rigid view that gun ownership was a "warning sign" that someone may be dangerous. So growing up I had no guns, but...
