I seem to have more guns than I know what to do with, and eventually will have to de-accession them. Could make a number of youse guys happy. But there's always something out there that calls to you, you know? I've always wanted a Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver. I could sell a dozen out of...

Handgunlaw.us is full of information regarding permits, reciprocity etc. Excellent site. You can see what states honor your permit, whether you have a "duty to inform" the police that you're armed, and information on how and where to go online to get more information from the states involved.

Never had to shoot anyone, and I usually carry a 9mm, though I have a box full of 38spl. I'm especially heavy in S&W J-frame snubbies. On the occasions when I carry them, I have Buffalo Bore ammunition; hard cast 150gr wadcutters, with low-flash powder maximised for short barrel revolvers...

I have a few holsters by Eric Larsen; my favorite IWB is a tuckable for my CZ Rami. Double action holster; works if I have to tuck, works just as well if I just want to drape a Hawaiian shirt over it. He makes many different styles of IWB/OWB, and consults with the buyer about his needs before...

I believe that the grip safety - really unnecessary on a DAO revolver - can be pinned into the frame.

Nexbelt ratchet belt - or Kore, though I don't have one. Make sure you get the EDC style belt; it has extra fasteners for the buckle that screw into the nylon. Other non-EDC belts just retain the buckle with a toothed clamp. Being able to instantly readjust the fit of the belt to suit your...

The size and sometimes gender of the beginner is an important issue. The presumed utility of the revolver is another. I'm a big fan of the old Model 10 HB, but it's big, and to some, heavy. I'm a fan of the SA J-frames, but only for CC by someone who knows that they're doing. For mixed use...

I spent decades looking for a one-hand-operable knife. First one was a Buck 110 folder, that I hoped could be flipped, using the weight of the handle. Never managed to get it loose enough, even if Matt Helm could. Also ate the back pocket of every pair of jeans I owned. Moved on to A G Russell...

It always makes me sad to see a shaved Webley. Right off the bat you've cut the value by at least 50%; much more depending on condition and rarity. I have a Mk V and MK VI uncut; both have 4" barrels, which is unusual for the MK VI. I also have a MK VI with a 22 cal insert kit, which is pretty...

I recently purchased a 1983 Model 65-3 from the estate of a friend. It's a 3" with s/n beginning with ADH, which I guess puts it in 1983. Not counter-bored nor pinned. It's beautifully polished, except for the top strap. My question is whether the polishing was done at the factory? Sadly, my...
