So what we have here is very interesting shotgun. Especially for the price. In essence it is a clone of a very expensive Benelli semi automatic, tactical shotgun. “So what?”, you ask. Here’s the kicker. It’s significantly cheaper than a Benelli. As in a fraction of the price. Literally a fraction. Have your interest yet? The specs: 12 gauge, semi …

SHS-26: Second Chance Glock 22
So…how to even begin. It’s a Glock. Model 22. 40 caliber. Beyond that I’ll have to leave it up to the next owner. Enjoy the video. I took some liberties. No harm, no foul. I imagine the market will dispose of this example accordingly. If you wish to contact this FFL about this pistol, click here: john1911.com/second-hand-showcase-inquiry/ …

CZ 452 – A Very Accurate Rifle
Sometimes the subject comes up, “What’s my favorite all around 22 rifle?” For me, it’s the CZ 452? It’s small and handy enough to teach kids on it. It’s light enough to hunt small game with. And it’s accurate enough to win any weekend grudge match. Freeze John1911.com “Shooting Guns & Having Fun”

USS America CV-66 SINKEX
A photograph has been making the rounds for a few days. It’s an image of the EX-USS America during it’s SINKEX event back in 2005. Initially the photo was being reported as a “new” unclassified image from the Navy’s very secret report. However after some research, it appears the photo has been in the public domain for some years. I …
The Bernardelli is Roached
Ok. I’ve been holding these pics back for a few days. I wasn’t sure how best to present them. After some thought, I just figured a gonzo album of the madness is best. Why beat around the bush? This Bernardelli P.One Pistol is in rough, rough shape. What we know. It was sold to Israel as a police handgun. Eventually …
GSG MP40
I have been eyeing these from afar for a while and I finally ran across one in a retail establishment. My main interest is not in using it as a pistol, but instead SBR’ing it. But I had some reservations. Street price? Quality? Ease of SBR’ing. I don’t have any definitive answers yet. But I will say that my initial …
Bernardelli P.ONE – P018 Takedown
How to Takedown and reassemble a Bernardelli P.One Pistol. And from what I can tell, a P018 pistol as well. Points of interest. The slide-stop is the initial part that needs to be removed. Once you have the pin in the correct location to push it, it is still retained with some force. Much more than what American shooters are …
Camp Perry is Dead
As much as it pains me to write these words, there is no denying it anymore. Camp Perry fell apart for us during the 2017 season. And we were told by officials it was because they had moved the match dates. But no worries, 2018 would be back on track. That is not the case. Camp Perry has suffered the …
SHS 25 – Winchester 12 Shotgun
On this episode of the Second Hand Showcase, I have found what I think might be a good project gun. An old Winchester Model 12 hunting shotgun. Perhaps this might make a good project gun if we can get it for a good price? Specifically converting it to a riot-gun configuration. Translation: cut it to 18-20 inches. Here are the …

Mossberg 500 Hunting Setup
Our regulars know we are Mossberg fans. Some folks have key’ed in on the fact I’ve been hunting with one Mossberg or another for well over 30 years. So instead of answering the same questions over and over again via email, I thought it was time to set the record straight on video. Here are all my primary hunting shotguns. …
