15 years ago I sold my top folder Ex-Police Riot 870, Towards one of the Russian SAIGA 12-C AK based Shotguns - that were imported as Law Enforcement samples, that L.E. agencies declined to buy. At that time I was uncomfortable about keeping my 870 loaded with a youngster at home - or trying to...

Yours would have been my first choice. I chose the blow back 9mm Stribog Because our army purchased blow back, Swiss B&T's - stating "the roller lock was un-necessary". When I got my 9mm Stribog they were about $500. & an excellent budget alternative, that I have been well served with +...

Some of the early stainless self loaders were prone to galled ways. My early AMT Hardballer 1911 was galled. it was finally learned that using 2 different alloys together worked better. ALSO using 40w Mobil 1 stopped it. Even though my Hardballer was loosly fitted, & galled, It was my most...

I'd kind of like to own a decent Mauser C-96 9mm Broomhandle.. I had a good .30 "Bolo" once. Very Keen to own a FN Hi-Power P-35 with Tangent sights & stock slot. VECTOR came out with a beauty - but I'd settle for an INGLIS - like the lady is demonstrating. I'd have bought them while they were...

Here is my compact Israeli JERICHO CZ-75 clone. Ordinarily I don't care for rails & coated finishes - BUT I WON IT (new) in a dealers sweepstakes. Jericho's are actually Italian TANGFOLIO CZ-75 clones - Improved by the Israeli IWI , I was surprised by its quality, & took advantage of the rail -...

Interesting - Here is a Slovakian 9mm "STRIBOG" - meaning STORM GOD. It is a semi-auto, well made, affordable copy of the Swiss B&T Sub Machine gun our Army recently purchased for close in, & structure clearing combat.. With a laser & red dot - a superior home defense carbine.

Had to add that MY Favored 9mm combat hand guns are one of my DA/SA CZ -75 clones: Sar 2000, & Jericho + laser. Also, my classic Hi-Power Clones: Stainless Tisas, & Mauser marketed SA-80 by FEG. Even my compact 9mm TOKAREV = Zastava M88A. All have performed perfectly for me. Love them all.

It was my understanding - the above is why it was made, I use it whenever possible, with good results. Especially the "Stinger Hollow Points"

I've always wanted to find an antique TEARDROP SHAPE, BRAIDED LEATHER SAP with a Loop Strap on the narrow end. Only ones I've seen so far were dry-rotted (see Pic). A nice one is out here somewhere. If you see one - let me know.. BTW, www.ecop.com sells some handsome semi braided Black Jacks...

I lubed the works of my N frame S&W with W30 Mobil 1 - & the action improvement was noticeable. Stuff is Magic..

I was not familiar with these, & noticed watching the Video, that a hammer spur was not there = DA ONLY. That would be a deal-breaker for me. My Pawnbroker friend had this LNIB Taurus 651 .357 5 shot - & made me a deal I couldn't refuse. It ca be fired SA or DA with its shrouded - but...

I'm adding this photo (just because) its another interesting make of top break - A WEBLEY MK IV, Originally a birds head frame & chambered in .455 caliber. I bought it from a small dealer in Maine, who specialized in British Surplus arms - years ago. It was very cheap owing to the fact it...

As a child I got feed-up with plastic toys - & asked my folks to only choose metal. As a boy scout my thrifty dad bought me an army surplus PLASTIC BUGLE instead of the regulation brass one I wanted. I learned to play it, despite the soft tone, & embarrassment.. I'm also annoyed with plastic...

I was pleasantly surprised with my LNIB model 651 Taurus .357 snubby - My pawn broker friend almost paid me to take. I would not consider owning a revolver without a hammer - but this ones hammer is shrouded - but still has a knurled tab to cock for S/A. I also prefer THESE Wood grips to rubber...

I never had a desire to own one.

Almost 30 years ago I thought the only rifle I'd need was my pretty Pre-WWII Winchester 30-30 lever action carbine. It was painful to shoot without padding. I'd been hearing about the cheap AKs available back then, & purchased A ROMANIAN SAR-1. Even with its Steel side folding stock - It never...

OH MY, I'm so slack, all that would spoil my fun. I do like to keep zippered Pouches, & especially holsters - separated from my hand guns, which are racked - to allow air circulation, & examined frequently to check for lubrication. My arms all have serial #s recorded. I've made sure my 2 heirs...

Sad to admit that @ 78 amid rising prices - I am in a holding pattern on toy purchases. Fortunately though, my defense needs are all met, & I have discovered a delicious way to prepare RAMEN NOODLES - that I really like.

Lucky for me my local pawnbroker friend buys at POLICE AUCTIONS. Over the last few years, I bought a nickle plated 1902 S&W 38 spl + a LNIB Taurus Model 651 snubby .357. @ under $300. for the PAIR. On an other occasion, I bought a 1905 SAVAGE .32 from him - Its original grips had 4 deliberately...

DID SOMEONE SAY POCKET PISTOLS ? I like them, & have a few. My favorite carry is a MAKAROV, I have 2 Russians (9x18mm & .380), & smaller Polish P-64 for summer clothes. A relatively under known & appreciated pocket pistol - I compare to the colt officers.32, Is My Zastava M88A (compact...
