Why would you want a double action only pistol?

I'm waiting for an alloy frame.

Thanks! John

If you don't mind, how about a model 60-3 serial number BBN46XX. I bought it NIB at a gunshow last night for $250! John

I think $500 for a used .380 is too high, but only you can decide what's right for you. John

I've had three P95s. One would drop factory mags out of the gun after every shot. The magazine release spring was so weak it would drop the mag under recoil. It got returned to the dealer and it did it for him too. The other two P95s I had would inadvertently relase the mag if it got bumped...

I live in a NW Iowa county and I have one. They are tough to get here. I think there are only 200 issued in the county. The counties directly north of here issue to anyone who is not a felon. It's an unfair system. John

There is no "best" when it comes to handguns. CCW handguns are a compromise between power and size. The lightest are the titanium and scandium revolvers. You pay a price with increased recoil. The easiest to shoot and probably the most dependable is the Ruger SP101. You pay a price with...

Here is my new 642, only 14 hours old! Wenger

I have owned close to a dozen P series in all the calibers and I will give you my impressions. The P95 grip is too slippery in my hand. The gun wants to twist in my hand. You can put a hogue handall on it, but then it's fatter then a hog. The magazine retention system on the 9mm is the weak...

Most gun owners support the AWB. It's only the hard core gun owners like us that even care. My wife is very typical. She is very tollerant and supports my rights to buy, own and shoot, hunt and carried concealed all I want. Yet when you say "assault" weapon, she just doesn't understand why I...

Politics is the art of what's possible. GW said he was not in favor of any new gun legislation. That's the best you're gonna get. Bush is the man for me. Will he sign the AWB renewal? You bet he will. And so would I if I was him. It's called political expediency. Don't like it? Vote for...

Well I diagnosed and fixed the problem. It wasn't a rough chamber throat as I thought. Upon closer examination, there was a knick on the edge of the chamber mouth caused by a machine tool. It raised enough of an edge that while it wouldn't interfere with loading, upon firing the case...

Exactly my point. John

It was new. It was new. It had one test round fired in the cylinder, because it only had one burn ring on the cylinder. I ran a patch down the chambers before I shot it. I looked down the chambers and their are machine marks from the chamber reamer. It wouldn't kill Ruger to actually do a...
