I have a Beretta M9, and it would be extremely hard for me to choose between it and one of my 3rd Gen S&W pistols. It has NEVER failed me. One of my brothers who retired from the Army loves the M9, as well. For the youngsters here, this a picture of USMC 1st Sgt Brad Kasal still holding his...

My wife has P238, which she loves. It's a mini 1911 in .380. They had a safety lever recall on the P238's, but it didn't involve her pistol's serial number. Beautiful gun. I don't own one a P320, but as a firearm enthusiast, I have been following up on the issue. I found this video very...

Must be an old man,'s thing, because mine is very similar to Ben's...LOL.I had the Sanbar stag grips on my Model 10-5 snubby, but I switched them over.

As an addendum, Bob Munden died in 2012.

That's very cool, Larry. Do you still live up.there? I have a brother that lives in Salem, about an hour away. It was tragic to knife enthusiasts when Camillus went out of business about 20 years ago :( They had an out of business sale; I wish I could have attended. Collector, knife expert...

AJ & Pilgrim, since you both like "MIL-K" knives, you will enjoy this educational post on the US Mitary Forum. See link below. Lots of good information there. Enjoy! P.S. I was once a serious US mitary knife collector. If you browse around, you'll see a couple of my old posts; one on Ek Knives...

If the hole bothers so, since it appears that those are not the original stock anyway, sell them and buy a set of the correct ones for it. Enjoy it; it's very nice.

This is for the benefit of the Forum members that missed the link I providex on Page 3 to the article on the current issue of the American Rifleman: "First, a little legal background. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), defines a shotgun as "a weapon ... intended to...

Re: FHP high-rise, cross-draw holsters, the troopers carried their revolvers that way for many years. Some wore them higher than others, as it was the case of former College basketball player, 7 ft. tall Pembrook Burrows. I believe that when the FHP switched to semiauto pistols, they went to...

Jimmy, FWIW, I have a semiauto Remington V3-TAC 13 and I like it. Bought it NIB a few months after they came out, for $600. It replaced my short barrel pump shotgun because tendonitis on my elbow made it difficult to operate the slide efficiently. I don't aim it; I point it...with good results...

Thank you!

Thank you, very much--both of you!

A friend has a subject revolver which he would like to know what model is. SWCA member A10 confirmed that according to the serial number (K 114868) it is from 1951. I *think* that it is a Pre-Model 18 “K22 Combat Masterpiece." Please, look at the pictures for details. Can someone confirm, or...
