I have a Heckler and Koch USP 9mm for sale. It comes with original box, owner's manual, two locks and two 15 round magazines. I believe it was manufactured in 2007 and is in extremely good condition. There's a little wear on the breech but other than that it's in excellent condition. I'd...

How do most of these transactions work since they're not done in person? I've sold privately before, but never understood what happens through the internet. Does the buyer send a check first, the seller clears the check then sends the firearm to the buyer? What's the best option for...

Well I got my model 10 this weekend and it is sweet. This next weekend I'll be able to take it out to the range and have some fun with it. I picked up a cheap leather belt slide high ride holster for it. It cost me $35, I'm blanking on the company's name but it starts with a "T" and is made...

I got my second S&W today:D, unfortunately I no longer own my first one. I received it in a trade for a old beat up 870 Express. This one isn't too pretty but I like it just the same. I'm going to store the original (serial # matching) grips and use some hogues. I was for a brief second...

I did not feel offended by your question at all. And I think you should be able to post what you like. I'm not here to censor anyone. I thought it was a fair question because so many people would have the exact same question. It's a little unusual to hear of someone going to carry a older...

Every Day Carry

1) Because I can. 2) It'll be my only handgun for a couple months 3) I'm being offered the firearm for a very reasonable trade. However, I haven't accepted the offer yet. Not until I see it and my friend/gunsmith looks it over. 4) Because I can :D 5) I believe in a well armed society. In...

What's a good but not very expensive manufacturer for pancake holsters?

Does anyone? I'm considering picking one up but am trying to think of carrying options as this will be my edc for a few months. Please include pictures of your carry set up if you don't mind.

Thank you all for the great and quick information. I knew I listed it a little high but expected somewhere around 250 for the 870. I know there's better pistols out there for that price (J&G model 64s come to mind), but figured I'd ask since I'm ignorant to the value of it. Also, would I be...

I'm trying to sell a Remington 870 and a guy offered me a model 10 4". I don't know much about it, other than a couple pictures he sent me. I'm asking $300 obo for the 870 and his model 10 has definitely had its finish worn off. I don't know what year the smith was made in, but it has a...

All great information. Thank you! There will be no cutting of barrels now.

(But the only stupid question is the one not asked) In my search for my next revolver I would like a model 66 with 3" barrel, but I can't find any for sale, not to mention much information on them. However, I do find plenty of 4" models. Would it be ill advised to have a gunsmith shorten a...

There are several places around that I window shop at and shoot. I've leaned towards the 686 for sometime now, but a friend of mine got a 64 from J&G in Prescott and had some work done on it and it is sweeeeet. Then after going through this forum I discovered the model 66 and from what I...

That's a beautiful set up, but what's the going price for one of those if you don't mind me asking.
