I have ridden my KLR through Jellystone in early June and got snowed on. Slept in a hammock and was pretty darn cold. I remember thinking that the inside of a Griz was probably a lot warmer... I carried my 4" Model 29 that trip. Rode over from my home state of Idaho, to Cody. Visited the Cody...

This is a common thought that comes up when discussing large bore handguns and small game like rabbits. It makes sense why people might think that way, but experience has shown it not to be the case. The fact is that when you use a cast projectile, there is actually very little damage. Just...

Speaking of Nickle plated 442s.. This is an older one carried by an NYPD detective, before coming to reside here. It is flaking in a few spots, but no big deal. It is actually the wife's gun, but my blued 442 is down for repairs, so I have been using hers lately. Shown with it is one of my...

Model 29-2 with Wadcutters. They do a seriously good job on small game.

In regards to the grip, it is pretty easy to modify. I personally am not a fan of finger grooves, and wanted to get a bit higher grip on the G30s. I rounded off the finger grooves slightly, then undercut the back of the trigger guard where it meets the frame. These 2 minor modifications made a...

Thanks Friend! Very kind words, indeed. :)

Thanks for the Kudos in regards to the write up. I am a long time 1911 guy here too, and would not have predicted liking the plastic guns as much as I do, but more than 20 years of use has shown that they are quite capable sidearms in a wide variety of venues. In the early 90s I went to a...

Idaho! :)

Another Official Police owner here. This one is from the 1930s, and similar to the OPs, it is marked "JPD" on the bottom. Judging from the wear marks on the grip panel, it appears to have been carried in a flap holster.

That is extremely cool! Details Please!

I look at it from this perspective; Ask yourself this: What is the smallest handgun/cartridge combo that I am willing to get into a gunfight with, against an armed adversary, or multiple armed adversaries? Many of whom are more likely than not under the influence of a Narcotic Analgesic...

Those old K Frame .22s are just so sweet!

That is a BEAUTY! I have been loading 148 Wadcutters on the Dillon when I find time lately, and I would bet out of such a fine gun as yours, you could do some seriously accurate shooting. Very cool!

I am a hard core .44 mag fan and have been for years. I also started police work in the mid 90s, and have many years as an LE firearms instructor. With that said, unless you have some very specific threat from extremely large animals, the .44 really has no place in modern law enforcement. Your...

Having loaded some heavy for caliber loads in both the .44M and the .45Colt, in Redhawks, Blackhawks, and Super Blackhawks, I will say this; The guns handle it much, much better than the bones and joints in my hand. I used to ride roughstock in college, and the heavy loads through the Rugers...

I would consider the platform it is being launched with, and the ability of the shooter. An extra 300 FPS is outstanding, but if the shooter cannot make multiple fast, accurate hits, then it may be advantageous to use the lesser recoiling load, that allows better shooter performance. The...

Nice looking old Gen 1. I have an old, all original Gen1 as well, and find it to be a solid shooter. Shown here with a Gen 2 G17, and Gen 3 G19. Great little guns.

This is something I wrote elsewhere, but considering your post, I feel it appropriate to re-post here. An all around Outdoorsman's practical handgun. A compact Big Bore auto. Years ago I had a Glock 30 ( a compact .45 ACP, that holds 10 rounds in the magazine, and can use the full size 13...

Calling a person a "Bigot" because they prefer a classic design, over something that was essentially the product of politics. Stay Classy Real Gun...

Those grips really do it for those guns. Certain combos can make an ordinary revolver (or auto) look exceptional! I would say that is the case with yours.
