In the cooler months here in Miami, a Model 13 .357 or a Browning 9mm HP. Hot weather a Walther PP in 7.65.

I'm not sure about this, but taking a unlicensed handgun into Mass, without a serial number in the right place, might just end up keeping you there for a couple of years against your will!

It's a rare trip to a gun show indeed that I go looking for a particular gun, and actually find it! A couple of gun shows ago I went looking for a nice old M-36 and ended up coming home with a 1970's era Walther PP in 7.65. The last show I went looking to trade a old Ruger Blackhawk in hopes of...

I always wanted a Model 25 1955 target in 45ACP. Also a M-24, M-36 flatlatch, M-57, and early M-29 like Elmer Keith had.

Hi there! I'm new to this forum. A couple of months ago I picked up a fairly decent condition 5" 5 screw M&P at a gun show in Sebring FL. What got my attention was that it had a rework star, and it had the letters S.R.D. stamped under the cylinder on the left side. The serial# is 680925. Since I...
