Has anyone been noticing the deals on Aim, Palmetto, and places like SmokeWagonGear? Some real quality ammo for around $150/500. Your choice of XM193 or XM855. Much better than .50/round huh?

So, I went to the local gun shop today, and I found a 686-6 2.5" with the IL. Now, I swore to myself I would not buy a gun with an IL, but I also want a 66 or 686 snubby really bad. This one looks like new, 6 shot, and unfortunately has the IL. Listed at 550. Now, should I dish out and...

So, after looking on this forum, and the internet in general for a double-stack 9mm to add to the collection, I pretty much had my heart set on a 6906. I went off to the gun show this morning, and I am down to the last 3-4 tables to go through, boom, a 6906 in good looking condition. It is...

Can someone help me out in dating this M-36? I just picked it up this morning after seeing it yesterday and sleeping on it. As you can see, it came with the original box, documents, and even the original tools still sealed in the plastic. What do you guys think it is worth? Serial # is...

My Ruger LCP tears its brass on ejection. It has done it since I have bought it. It also tends to throw brass quite far. Like 15 feet almost straight back. I have read that this is typical of early LCPs, which mine is. Just over 1000 in serial number. It has been back since the recall, but...

I just bought my first can of power pistol. I am soliciting recipes for using this powder. I mostly load; 9mm, 38 special, 357 magnum, 380 ACP, and 45 ACP. Any advice in using this powder is appreciated. How does this powder meter out of a dispenser? I use a lot of Unique, so I am used to...

Anyone have one? I have the opportunity to buy one for $399. It is in great shape, almost no wear that I can see, and Trijicon nightsites. I know it only holds 11, and new tupperware models hold 16... I have always wanted one, and kind of pride myself in using guns that are not always made of...

I was wondering if even has bought one of the 4053s from Southern Ohio Gun. They are in the catalog I just got in the mail for 299.99, which seems to me like a great deal. I am looking for some info on the pistol in general, and info that pertains to the LEO trade ins, as I am assuming that is...

I just loaded up some 124 gr Speer GD, and I have a question about COL. After being satisfied with bullet seat depth and taper crimp, I am coming out with a COL of about 1.139-1.140. May manual says max COL is 1.169, so that does not bother me even though I am sure that would be for a FMJ...

Reloads or Factory?

I went into Wally-World this morning and could not believe what I saw... 250 UMC Mega-packs of 9MM, 40 S&W, 45 ACP... I was quite a strange sight. They also had 100 round value packs of WWB in 9mm. But wait, it gets even better. I then stopped by my local gun shop, they are fully stocked on...

I just inherited what I believe is a rather old victory model? It is a 38 special, serial number starts V 3838XX. Has patent dates on the top of the barrel that read, Feb.6 06, Sept. 14 09, and the last is Dec. 29 14. Also is stamped U.S. Property G H D above the cylinder. If someone could...

I have an older S & W snub-nose that I am looking for information on. It has a 1-7/8" barrel, J frame in .38 special. The handle is a little shorter than the typical J frame though. 5 shot wheel. Serial No. is 354XX, and on the crane it is stamped "D" over the number "1143". Any info is...

I recently acquired a 4566 and was interested in reading that with a spring (or few) change, you can load up 45 Super, that is 230 grains at 1150 fps, or 185 at 1300+. Some places say that all you need is a 20 or 21 pound recoil spring, others say that extractor and firing pins springs need...

Can someone help me nail down the year this 4566 was manufactured? The Serial prefix is VLM. Just picked it up and it has been love at first sight so far. Love the DA/SA decocker and the single stack mag. All for half the price of a decent 1911. Thanks in advance.
