I wrote this essay a few years back and thought I'd share it with you all. It is a bit long, but still quite readable. I would enjoy getting feedback on it. Is the damage to society from the misuse of guns worth the freedom to have guns? THE QUESTION Are we as a country willing to accept the...

Got to see and handle the new Wrangler .22 LR Single-Action Revolver from Ruger this past weekend at the NRA convention. I'll keep my HRR, thank you.

I keep my birdshead with the short barrel tucked away in the kitchen. When the raccoons come visit the back porch and tear it up the ultra-quiet 22 SUPER COLIBRÍ takes care of them without disturbing the neighbors.

Managed to get it to the range today. I am only a mediocre shooter at best so I couldn't get the best results from the pistol. However, a buddy shot it also and it was a real tack driver for him. The DA trigger is crisp and tight, and the SA is like eating cotton candy. He's a real semi-auto...

Hmmm... that would make a good story to know how it happened if that is indeed the case. The grips are beautiful wood.

Yeah, apparently they don't have any information from before they started importing their own firearms instead of relying upon 3rd party companies.

According to Handgun Radio in 1977 "The cylinder flute serrations are eliminated." in the Taurus revolvers. That dates my gun between 73 and 76 according to the logo and flutes. https://firearmsradio.tv/handgun-radio/handgun-radio-208-running-the-bull-a-brief-history-of-taurus

I found this advertisement from the UK up on Ebay as a poster someone is selling. This is the same gun, as you can note, however the grips are slightly different. The logo button is slightly off center while mine is dead center.

It shows a K 325 on one side and 86 on the other. I cleaned it up a bit and took it to the range this afternoon to try it out. Forgot that the range was closing at 5:00 for computer upgrades and I got there at 5:10. Will try again tomorrow.

It has the third logo, from 73 to 81, with the striations in the flutes. Together that would seem to indicate early 70s.

Yes, Model 86. That is what I meant to type but it came out 66. Do you know anything about the gun other than the obvious?

Picked up an older Taurus revolver the other day. The 'net has not been good for finding info about it. It was sold as a Model 66 [corrected to read Model 86] Range Master in .38 Special. It has a target trigger and adjustable front sights, and was supposedly built for Bullseye competition. It...

Here's an interesting fiction story about a woman who used a revolver to save her life... "Smith & Wesson Military & Police Revolver: A gun’s autobiography"

Hey, my girls grew up on my little pony and Hello Kitty and still adore them... and they can probably out shoot most of the guys on this topic. Don't prejudge.

More details, Sam... you can't keep us hanging in the middle of a story such as that :)

Depends upon your understanding of the word "success." You're welcome to shout it from your car roof top. Many other CCW holders view it differently.

"lying"? That's what I love about 'net forums.

No... there is no law in states that are not "must inform" that requires you to answer positively to this question. You can stare at him, you can tell him there is nothing illegal in the car, you can even blow him kisses, but you do not have to answer the question unless he has probably cause...

In "must inform" states the cop knows about the firearm. Very few states are must inform, though. The only way he's going to know in any other state is if the citizen informs him, which he is not required to do under the law. Don't know = no confiscation.
