Its raw materials OR parts, so a kit would fall under this definition.

Yes that's correct. I added 132 variations of Mossberg 500, 505, 510, 535, 835, 930, 935, and SA-20 shotguns over the weekend. The rest of the Mossberg shotguns, and other makes (Remington, Browning, Benelli, Ruger, etc.) will be added soon. After that it is on to the rifles section.

Thanks for letting me know about this. Many of the Charter Arms revolvers did not have an action type set in the database, which caused them not to appear properly. I verified that all firearms have an action type set, and have altered the code so that if I forget to set an action type when adding new firearms to the database, they will still be counted properly in the filtering options. The spam in the forums was taken care of a few days ago. I'll be adding some additional precautions to help prevent any more spam from appearing.

I've just added the ability to filter by trigger type (DA/SA, DAO, etc.) as requested. This should make it even easier to narrow down your search.

I've just completed the work to allow filtering by trigger type (DA/SA, DAO, Striker-fired, etc.). I'll do some more testing tomorrow (Tuesday 05/10/2011), and if all goes well, will launch that evening.

Thanks! Now I can concentrate on finishing the revolvers section, and get the rifles and shotguns sections up and running. After that I'll be working on writing articles, and then I will start work on the directory of local gun shops, shooting ranges, gunsmiths, firearms training facilities, etc. If you have any other suggestions for the site please let me know.

Well, it took a lot more work to update the filtering system than I first thought, but it is done. You can now make multiple selections for each filtering option via checkboxes. I've also added a way to change the number of results per page from the default of 20 per page -- there is a dropdown to select 10, 20, 50, or 100 firearms per page. Since I had to rip out and rewrite quite a bit of code to get this working, some bugs are probably present. If you notice any problems -- whether you receive an actual error message or something just doesn't work the way you'd expect, please let me know about it. Sample: All subcompact or pocket pistols, manufactured by Kahr, Kel-Tec, Ruger, or Taurus, chambered for .380 ACP or 9x19mm. http://www.whichgun.com/firearms/pistols/type:subcompact,pocket/manufacturer:kahr,kel-tec,ruger,taurus/caliber:380-acp,9x19mm/sort_by:ccw_factor/sort_direction:desc

And plenty more are on the way. I think you'll like the next update to the filtering system.

Added to my to-do list, thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks j0n! I hope you find the site useful, and any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

I did some experimenting this afternoon and was pleased to find out that with the changes I already made to allow multiple filtering options, it is fairly trivial to allow multiple values for each filtering option. On my development machine, as shown below in the attached screenshot, I am now able to view all subcompact or pocket pistols made by Kel-Tec or Ruger chambered for .380 ACP or 9mm at /firearms/pistols/type:subcompact,pocket/manufacturer:kel-tec,ruger/caliber:380-acp,9mm (this of course will not work on the live site yet). The results returned are the Kel-Tec P-3AT, Kel-Tec PF-9, Kel-Tec P-11, Ruger LCP, and Ruger LC9 as expected. Now I need to redesign the interface, adding checkboxes next to each filtering option, and all should be good. If all goes well, this will go live next week.

There is a space for comments and reviews at the bottom of each firearms page.

Glock 37, 38, and 39 are already there, along with the .45 GAP versions of the Springfield XD. http://www.whichgun.com/firearms/pistols/caliber:45-gap

Thanks for the suggestion. I agree it is a good system; I'll definitely look into it.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I'm constantly tweaking the formula as I find things like that. It's difficult because concealability and firepower generally have an inverse relationship -- higher concealability generally means lower firepower, and higher firepower generally means lower concealability. I'll do the best I can with these calculations, but I've already concluded that no matter what I do, not everyone will agree with the results.
