I was working in a area Tuesday that I don't get to very often, and on the way back there's a gunshop I visit very infrequently. They're a bunch of nice guys, and I bought an excellent-condition used S&W 6906 from them at the last gunshow, so I stopped in. That was my first mistake. They...

I'm not really a revolver guy. I admit it. I've always liked semi autos. I have 15 of them. That said, I always thought that I should have at least 1 revolver, so a while back I bought a Taurus 431. I really didn't know anything about it, it just appealed to me aesthetically. It wasn't the...

So I went to the Eastman's Savannah gunshow today hoping to find a shooter M1 Carbine while mine's going to be away at the gunsmith's. To make a long story short, I bought my Underwood Carbine from a less than reputable dealer who stated that it was correct, and now that I'm older, wiser, and...

As the title states, I just got a digital camera. I'm trying to learn how to use it, so I thought what better than my battle rifles. The M1 is an SA, late May 1944 build. The Carbine is an Underwood from October '43. ..Joe PS: Go easy on me, I'm renowned as the world's WORST photographer...

Ugh. My shoulder hurts. I finally got to shoot my M1 Garand, got to put 50 rounds through my M1 Carbine, and 50 more rounds through my AR15 today, and I started to break in my new Springer G.I. .45. By far the most enjoyment (and the most pain) was derived from the M1. 48 rounds through...

Hey folks: Just got my first revolver. It's a Taurus 431 (hence the title of this post, I guess!) and I have to say I'm really pleased. There's just something about a 3" barrel on a revolver that really appeals to me. I had been hunting for an S&W model 19 with the 2 1/2", but no luck, so I...

I have to travel to Macon, GA Wednesday for a meeting Thursday. Does anyone know of any gunshops that have a fairly large selection, and/or decent prices? Savannah's are all pretty small, so there's never a chance to see some stuff: It's generally just the usual assortment of Glocks, SA...

Yet another M1 Garand owner into the fold... Yesterday on the way to work, I heard a radio ad for a gunshop here in Savannah that I didn't know about named Wilmington Armory. As luck would have it, I got no lunch yesterday or today, so I left early and headed out to see what they offered...

Savannah Gun Show today. Eastman's. This was the first gun show that I've ever gone to without a plan to purchase a specific firearm. I call it "freelancing." I just wandered around and looked at everything, waiting for something to start yelling at me. I'm really a semi-auto handgun type of...

Dayum, talk about withdrawal... Oh, yeah, to stay on topic: How come all semi-autos suck so much??? :) (That's a joke. ALL my pistols are semis.) ..Joe

I feel just like I did when I bought my first handgun 6 years ago... I stopped by my gunshop today just because, and BS'ed with the guys for about an hour. I was just getting ready to leave and I happen to notice a lever-action sitting on the shelf. I casually asked if it was a Winchester...

So I get a call from my ex-girlfriend last night. She and I have remained friends over the last 3 years since we broke up, one of the reasons for which was she abhored my guns, something I refused to give in on... She was about as anti-gun as you could believe. Years ago, her abusive...

Fearing that Hurricane Charley was going to cancel the show this weekend, I was grateful that it passed us by. A benefit of Charley was that it left just enough rain so that I didn't have to teach tennis all morning, and could get to the gunshow all the earlier. Savannah gunshows are pretty...

I went to the Eastman's Gunshow here in Savannah today with the express purpose of picking up another 1911-pattern pistol. I was considering a Norinco, a NRM, or a Springer GI to use as a base pistol for customization: I was even thinking of sending it to Dave Berryhill for his MEU(SOC) Replica...

My 15 year-old son has been down from NY vacationing with me. He loves to go shooting, and this year I got him his first pistol: A CZ P01. We spent several days at the range having a great time, he with his first pistol, me continuing the break in the Loaded Operator, the USP9, and shooting the...

I just got back from the range. What a great day. I certified 3 pistols for carry- my Rock Island 1911, my Kahr K40 Elite 98, and my G17. By certified, I mean to date: no failures of any kind, regardless of cartridge or magazines, and enough break-in rounds, so now I feel I can trust them...

Last night I went through a series of PM's with 1911Tuner about a new pistol I am having some trouble with. I won't mention what it is, because I'm not posting this to bash the pistol, and in fact, the manufacturer is taking it back and promising to make it right. I just wanted to publicly...

These people offer some great specials on great holsters! http://glocktalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=259415 I just wish they'd make a paddle holster... Patricia! Are you listening???? :) ..Joe

So, I leave work early today, mainly because I have all of next week off and want to get a jump-start on doing nothing, and on the ride home decide to stop at my local gunshop. This is usually a bad thing, inasmuch as it's usually a $400.00 visit, mainly due to poor impulse control on my part...
