I don't know how I feel about this. I liked Maker's when I was younger, but don't drink it much now as I feel there are better sipping bourbons out there. If they can match the taste profile of the old stuff I'm not sure how big of a deal it is. But now you're paying the same amount for a...
These things are worth their weight in gold. Even if you aren't shooting much, helps save your thumb loading those mags. I've also seen people tie a loop of shoestring around their belt loops to hook the spring onto while loading a magazine.
My friend has a full size in 40, generally I don't care too much for 40 cals but for some reason his beretta's recoil feels nice and smooth, not snappy like other 40s. I'm not sure if its the rotary locking mechanism or just the ergonomics. Gun is very accurate as well. I don't recall him...
I just can't believe these panic prices, it's outrageous. I would never even pay 1000 for a five seven, let alone 2 grand+. Everyone else must just have way more money than I do (or way less sense).
I haven't really heard anything good at all about the mosquitoes, if I was ever going to buy a 22 pistol (that wasn't a ruger mark II/III), I'd stick with an mp22 or sr22. Even then I'm not sure about those...
Generally you want to stick with a improved cylinder choke for slugs, but modified would be ok (I would be hesitant though). Full I would advise against. You can get barrels with removable chokes fairly cheap for a mossberg and if you're getting the gun for a deal then a 20 inch deer barrel...
What sort of stuff have people been bringing to the 1500 to sell? Has it just been all evil black stuff? I figured Sunday would be the best day to go if you're interested in something wood and blued, after all the hype has died down.
I don't think this would qualify as a straw purchase, and I don't think you would have to worry about being an FFL either.
I don't quite understand the hate for people trying to flip a gun or two with the panic in full swing. I don't necessarily support it, but they're the ones taking a risk...
I wouldn't really consider that real actual data. You only listed three completed transactions, and I know there have been gunbroker auctions in the past that were quite fake (I remember when KSGs came out and one of the first couple sold for 10 grand, like that really happened:rolleyes:). If...
Buying a Used Handgun
All of this. There really isn't much that can go wrong with the CZ75s (except I think the compact 40s had some cycling/ejection issues). Slide to frame fit if that matters to you. Make sure the slide pin looks alright, I remember reading some of the older models would...
Three years ago I bought a CZ85 combat for a hair over 500. Nowadays, 500 for a 75b seems like a good deal. I would jump on it. Plus those two tones are real slick looking. All you need to do is get some nice grips for it from the custom shop and you're set.
A friend of mine offered to sell me his PPQ a while back and I passed on the deal, as I couldn't justify buying another handgun at the time. Kinda kicking myself for not buying it now. If can find one reasonably priced, I'd say go for it. Not going to get much better if you're going the...
Doing a little bit of research it looks like production of model 1200s began in 1964 with the serial number 100000. Unfortunately they don't have any records of serial numbers up until 1972, but assuming yours is 200xxx and the number they have for 1972 is 739617 I would guess that it was...
Armslist isn't all that bad, the occasional good deal shows up every once and awhile. Not sure why there's all the hate for it when we still have Hoosiertopics around.
Wow, these are some crazy times were living in. I remember my buddy bought his new two years back for a touch over 900 and I thought that was way too much. Using gunbroker as a guide, the cheapest a used one can be acquired for is around 950.
You aren't going to like hearing this but I think many people will agree with me: don't worry about re-finishing the gun. Shoot it to your heart's content and if the color is still bugging you then sell it. Seems like a lot of effort to get it painted/bead blasted/blued/whatever when the only...
Glad to hear your 11-87 supermag is working for you. People were knocking these guns left and right saying they wouldn't cycle the low brass at all. My friend has a 11-87 sportsman that he was having problems with cycling the low brass, going through it and polishing relevant internals with...
It's gonna be an absolute melee in there with the gun ban scare, and I'm sure vendor prices will reflect that as well. The reason to go to the 1500 is buying from individuals, though, and you can never be certain what people will bring. I always looked at going to the 1500 as a 10 dollar...
