    From IMBD* First produced in 1985, the S&W Model 645 was similar in size to the classic M1911 Government Issue, with an 8.5-inch overall length and a 5-inch barrel. Unlike the iconic .45ACP, it carried an extra round (eight in the mag rather than seven), had a squared-off and serrated trigger...

    I've been collecting 1911's the last few years and had a gap in the compact or CS size in 45 in my collection. Well I bought two, A bit of back round there but lets focus on this P12 from Para. This used P12 was at Don's LGS, ran across it while picking up my S&W 4006. But now for back round...
  3. Other Handguns
    I decided to buy a couple of old 3rd gen Smiths so folks won't think I only buy the expensive toys ( just joking). I am on a budget too, but wanted to get several before I officially retired after 46 years with big blue. So I been trying out some older great guns of our recent past. To whit...

  5. Taurus / Rossi Rifles
    I sold my old Rossi R92 to my chicken farmer buddy ( he's already taken a deer and two hogs with it ), because I saw Rossi getting ready to release some new models in the R92 line. This R92 has a 16" barrel, large loop with wrap, peep sight, upper rail, Brass bead front and a 3lb 5oz trigger...

    A while back I decided to begin collecting higher end Sig's. This was my first buy toward that end, and purchased it back in July for $988 from Battlehawk Armory. Since then I purchased a 229 Legion and of course that wild and crazy red Sig. This Legion version comes with a SA trigger...
  7. Other Handguns
    Ok so I got a thing for Italian beauties! I stupidly traded off my first 81 several years ago,,Figured they'd be around since there were so many surplus 81's hitting the market then. Yep..yep..short sighted..I know! So I began a years long effort to bring an 81 back to the collection, kinda...

    In the battle of the sleek Italian cheetah against the snazzy Turkish cloner who will come out on top? I walked back to 12 yards and sent one magazine into 3 - 3" circle targets through each pistol. Same reloads, same rate of fire. The Girsan MC14T is kind of a clone of the Beretta 86 popup...

    This is a recent release from S&W, a performance center 10mm. This is how S&W decided to present the firearm...the case is pretty good, but the internal presentation is not great. I cut out the pocket for the backstraps and optic plates etc..Otherwise it just flat foam. Well lets move past the...
  10. Taurus Revolvers
    I kept looking at it every time I went in. They started moving it to the back of the shelf because not many folks know what this is. I did, and kept thinking on it. So the bug bit me - took one of my 45LC SA Cimmaron's in and did some horse trading. Shelf price was $549, I got $400 in trade...

    Another LGS surprise pickup. I was there to buy a Taurus 460 tracker and Ole Stan showed me one of their new pistols that just came in. Oh man those words can mean trouble, because if Stan wants to shoot it I know I will too! This is one of the duo of Girsan re-designs of famous pistols. Their...
  12. Other Handguns
    I've brought in a few well used SFX's, and even a new Rival in the last 2 years. While I think the Rival is the best SFX style pistol yet from Canik. The outward appearance was too radical for me. So I wanted a new SFX for my long term collection. I decided on the Mete version. You get quite a...
  13. Other Handguns
    Ah... this story starts like so many others, I went to pick up a new pistol I ordered from my local LGS. Gazing around the "Wall of billfold destruction" and rats...Don got another of my wants in. I swear he has ESP... I did not have a lightweight 1911 in my collection, and this is Ruger's...
  14. Other Handguns
    My Security 380 came in at $298+$15 4473 fee. It came with one 10 and one 15 round magazine, loader and paperwork. I am doing a comparison with my other two 380's. A Smith & Wesson 380 EZ, and a Beretta 84F. The basic pistol size is very similar in all 3. From beavertail to muzzle the S&W...

    I have been working on this used RIA 1911 Ultra FS HC for about a month and finally got it where I want it. I came in the box and 3-14 round magazines, bushing tool, cleaning brush, and manual. My cost off gunbroker was $458. The previous owner either shot it in competition or shot enough to...

    I've owned a few Colt clones over the years, this time I decided to try a few Remington clones. The Remington 1890 is on the top, the 1875 is on the bottom. The 1890 weighs 39.3 oz's, the 1875 weighs 42.1 oz's. These are both 6 shot in 45 colt. One of the differences between the colt clones...

    I have been through 5-320's over the last 4 years, Never quite found the perfect fit. The AXG classic was pretty close, but the trigger left a bit to be desired. I took a chance on this one during a Gunbroker auction. Couldn't believe I won it for $525. Getting any AXG Sig for under $800 to...

    I hadn't realized how hard it would be to find a Beretta 84F. This is probably due to this model only being made in 1990, and having a slight issue with the decocker safety. The issue is it can be almost put on safe and still fire. There are 3 steps to the safety and only should be two. But...

    Well it was time to retire my PT145 as a backup carry/truck gun. Nothing wrong with it, just wanted a newer platform and a better trigger. Kinda odd packaging, like folding out a diorama. The pistol comes with a 13 and a 15 round magazine. This cost me $324 OTD. This MC2C is very Glock like...

    If you add a pistol, a sight, and a spare magazine. Then kinda. The claim to fame here is its ability to fold and stow the rig in a medium backpack. But lets back up a bit. So what is this thing? The CAA MCK is a mostly plastic conversion kit for your pistol. So far I see (p320,M&P,Glock, and...
