Thanks everyone again for all the useful information. I went out to Cabela's on my lunch and picked up this. Think this is enough to keep them clean? From what I gather, I need to soak metal only parts in the rem oil, use a toothbrush and rub gently on the metal surfaces and then dry w/ a non...

Thanks Jim, next time I snap some pictures, I'll put a ruler under them so people can gauge size. I've read some people make comments on a complete "set" for the P.38s and although I don't have a picture of it, the holster does have the second mag with it. My grandpa also wrote his name on the...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll check out the gun socks, I've seen those at Cabela's so I'll pick some up next time I'm there. I have some Hoppe's No 9 but might pick up some more. I am in no way shape or form going to try to "restore" them, I just don't want them to rust to the point...

Thanks everyone for the helpful tips thus far. I'm looking forward to what anyone else has to say. I believe the other wheel pistol has the same proof mark, but I can't be for certain. I'll try to get another picture of it up sometime. I doubt there are any papers that indicate where these...

My grandpa brought back several guns from his tour in WWII. I've only seen them once and I finally got the chance to take a look at them again and snap some pictures. I don't really know anything about them other than "it says Mauser on it" so here are some pictures. I'm just looking for some...

My first and only handgun[/IMG]

My M&P 40 FS, the first and only gun I've bought. Going on 1 year with it now

I have the full size M&P 40 with night sights. It was my first gun purchase and I can't say anything bad about it. It has 3 interchangeable grips, which I think the XD has as well, not 100% on that though. I wasn't a huge fan of the Glock's grip, it was really square/blocky and didn't feel...

My local range in Belleville, IL sells it in .40. I use it with my M&P40 whenever I go and don't have any ammo of my own. I've never had a problem with it, but this is my first gun so I can't really give you an "expert" opinion.

Sounds good, thanks everyone for the quick answers. I wasn't 100% on the laws regarding gifted or willed guns so this clears it all up. BTW Don, I live in Belleville, but my kids would go to Mascoutah schools. That's how close I am to it.

Nope, I grew up in Naperville, but moved down to Belleville after I graduated college. I already knew not to bring a gun in Oak Park/Chicago anyway.

That's what I was hoping to hear, I do have FOID and I live in southern IL, across the river from St. Louis, I wasn't sure if you need to register new guns or go through an FFL even if it was family. Thanks guys

My grandfather acquired several hand guns during his time in WWII, however he has since passed away. These guns are being willed down to my father, who really isn't interested in guns, but will hold onto these as heirlooms. I've let him know that I would love to hold onto them, I've only seen...

I too recently bought my first handgun (A S&W MP40) at age 25. The only other gun I have shot was a 22lr rifle when I was about 15 at my grandparents farm and some BB guns. When I went to the range for the first time 4 weeks ago, I about crapped my pants when I pulled the trigger. I was...
