Perfect packin pistol. .577 Howdah pistol. Definitely. Might be kinda hard to find though........

Seriously ? What do you do when your kids have to defend themselves ? Or you ? Have you heard of TEACHING YOUR KIDS ? Mine go to the range with me. They field strip all my guns and theirs IN MY HOME. They know what guns do. They know the four commandments of guns. They check and clear every...

Best gun of all THE best gun is always the one you have on you when you absolutely, positively, have to have a gun. Thus endeth the lesson.

I've had several. The one I carry now is an Interarms made in Germany. I dehorned it, put lighter springs in, polished the ramp and had Cogan hardchrome it. I carry it daily, and shoot my reloads out of it every range session. It's a keeper, but I had to learn how to make it reliable and...

Cmon guys, anybody that knows anything about guns knows that the only real carry gun is a .500 S&W with a 10.5" barrel. It's small, (18" long), it's light, (5 lbs), and its mild recoil coupled with inexpensive ammunition make it perfect.

I've got one of "Couger's" that Bill Davis built back in the 70's. I don't know if it actually shoots better than a factory Security Six or is more robust than a factory Python. Has a wonderful trigger, but you can usually get that from a good gunsmith on most pistols. More of a novelty factor...

I only have one assault rifle. A .44 lever Henry. Lots of assault pistols though.

For quick & easy gun care, google " ultra bore coat" follow directions for getting down to bare steel by John Barsness. Treat barrel per instructions. Cleaning after treatment is as simple as a few patches with Hoppes on a jag. Lead wipes right out. Same with copper. I shoot 300 - 600 rds /week...

It's really simple guys - if they come in the night for that which you hold dearest, kill them. Period. End of story. Do you really want to be alive in a society that would permit what happened in Hitler's germany ? Read Unintended Consequences by John Ross

yeah, and I once knew a guy that said the best thing to stain and re-oil my cedar and log home was motor oil. go figure.

Accurate, definite "cool" factor and unlimited sex appeal. Angels DO sing when you pull the trigger. What's not to love ?

Guns should not be field stripped. Nor should they be fired. It will just wear them out. They should be looked at ONLY,and perhaps lightly fondled on an even year basis. Whatever you do, DO NOT load them as this could cause excessive wear on magazines and chambers. Also, once loaded the...

I own, shoot and reload both calibers, although my .44 is a S&W model 21 in .44 spl, not magnum. My personal feeling is that a 4" barreled gun that I shoot a lot in practice in either caliber with a good heavy load will win the day. I typically carry the 44 spl in the timber (Wyoming - ANY bear...

I carry my "worked over" PPK/S wherever I go. Mostly because I believe that it's better to have a little of something than a lot of nothing. It fits in the holster I have for it, and is comfortable and comforting. I try and usually succeed in getting about 100 - 150 rounds a week through it, ( I...

...and whatever you do, make sure you take those shiny thingies out of that round turny part lest they should fly out and hit somebody that could prompt a call to a lawyer and sue you and yadda yadda blah blah blah.... On the other hand, nice piece, Dhart - as usual.
