      First handgun recommendations

      Everyone has their favorite. I thought I had the gun of my dreams in mind for my first, then I picked it up and held it my hand. It was all wrong for me. The sales guy at the counter suggested a few other models, and really stressed the importance of the fit in my hand. How reachable are all...

      I have run into this in a couple of cases while looking for a particular shotgun. I just move on to a different seller.

      Vz. 50 grip question

      That's what I was wondering about. The price was decent enough that I'm not too worried about it. That's probably why no other bids were placed. I'll be happy with it either way. EDIT - So it appears it is not a nickel finish from the factory... oh well. Live and learn.

      Vz. 50 grip question

      According to the auction photos it has the "NB50" stamp, which indicates the national security forces in 1950. The magazine has the correct, downward turning floorplate extension, and appears to be original to the Vz.50. Odd thing is that it is supposedly in "factory nickel finish". I didn't...

      Vz. 50 grip question

      Just won a Vz. 50 at auction. It has a proof mark of 1950, and appears in excellent factory condition - not refurbed at all... except... from my reading on these handguns, it appears that this particular one comes with Vz. 70 grips. They're pimpled instead of grooved. My thoughts are to pick...

      What were your notable 2014 C&R acquisitions?

      1959 Winchester Model 12 (with aftermarket Monte Carlo stock that just happens to be a perfect fit for me on trap).

      Mass. Hunter Shoots Cape Cod Runner

      In MA, you're a prohibited person unless the gov't tells you you're not. The article does say that one of the charges is due to, "unlawful possession of a gun police found in his truck." That means he was in possession of something he shouldn't have been, at least from the point of view of MA...

      First C&R Handgun Ideas?

      What's your price range? That's going to be a big factor. Star B? Astra 600? Revolver?

      Looking for a chrome or nickle plater in md

      On another forum that I frequent, this guy in PA was recommended: http://www.mahovskysmetalife.com/index.htm They're firearm specific, which is key for something like this.
