I have one. Yes, I shoot it. Yes, I love it. So far the finish is holding up very well. I gave $700 OTD for mine in mid-April.

I understand the assumption, but most pawn shops sell new guns as well as used. This one is brand spanking new. I think I just got lucky and got a really good one.

Nope. I bought it NIB from the dealer. There was no prior owner.

I have been saving for a few months to get a new firearm. My plan was to buy a Mossberg 590A1 and use it as a secondary home defense gun (still prefer handguns and my primary is a Glock 17). However, I decided yesterday to hit all the local pawn shops and gun shops just to see if I could find...

Thanks for all the info guys. I ordered the Meprolight tritium front sight today.

If you put it in the garage, definitely bolt it down and definitely use a dehumidifier like a Golden Rod. Then again, I'd recommend both those things even if it was inside. My biggest concern would be that you are placing your safe outside the protection of your alarm system (assuming you have...

I picked up a Ruger SP101 .357 Magnum in a trade today. Overall, the gun is in excellent condition, but the front sight is boogered up pretty bad. It looks like someone dropped the gun on the sight because one corner is caved in. Also, someone dremeled the finish off the top and rear of the...

My favorite Ruger, I unfortunately don't own anymore (and regret that). It was a 4" SS GP100. I do plan to replace it, but there are a couple of guns on the list ahead of it. Of the guns I currently own, it would be my 5.5" SS Redhawk .44 Magnum.

1. a 4" .454 Casull Super Redhawk. I love the Alaskan, but it is a bit TOO short. 2. bring back the half lug 4" GP100's. 3. bring back the Redhawk in .41 Magnum w/ a 5.5" barrel.

Bill, There isn't a make or model of gun in existence that hasn't had this problem or a similar one at one time or another. If a few rare reports of failure is going to make you panic and run for the hills like this, what brand will you turn to? Any gun can blow up on you at any time! Could...

Personally, I just can't stand to see such a beautiful revolver marred with that pock mark of a lock. As far as the markings go, I might pay an extra $50 just for the oddity factor (IF it was pre-lock), but no way is it worth what he's asking.

You need to go back and re-read the beginning of the original post. He was quoting an article written in 1972. The loading data is nearly 40 years old.

I checked on my own, just out of curiosity. Looks like he's a little high for your state.

Mine charges $20. Try this link and maybe you can find a cheaper one near you... http://www.auctionarms.com/help/fflnetwork.cfm

No. I have to drive 10 miles or so to get to a small town... and it is so small it has 2 red lights and a population of 1038. Where I live, the cows out number the people.
