Arizona is for me. But I would not be too fast in overlooking Texas.

Wonderfully written. Your daughter will go far in what ever field she choses

I have been a life member for over 30 years. I get very little "junk" from the NRA. It costs money to send out all the mailers. If you don't want them opt out and they will not send them. If you don't want to be a member then don't complain when your gun rights are restricted. Right now I...

Don't have it anymore Bought one for the weight and size. Made the mistake of letting my wife shoot it a few times. Now she has totally confiscated it. Says if I want one I will just have to buy another. Beautiful little weapon that shoots flawlessly

A M1 carbine made by inland division of general motors. It had 2 original magazines, cleaning kit, and sling. It had been carried by her father in several battles in WW2. I was amazed that this woman would get rid of something that obviously meant a lot to her late father. She got mad at me...

I want to thank you all for the replies. To answer some of the questions. Yes she picked this revolver out. She liked the finish, look and weight of the gun. She has not fired hers yet as we have to wait a few more days to pick it up. However she did fire one when she took the NRA Women on...

Does anybody have a opinion on this pistol. I want to get one for my wife.

So for a 1858 new army which converter is best in your opinion. Thanks

I am interested in this but am worried about the date of manufacture. Is this one of the older Piettas that seemed to have problems or one of the newer ones. Sorry I am new to the site and don't know how to PM yet. Thanks John

Thanks guys. As I have been known to be lazy at times it looks like a stainless steel one. Has anybody got any feed back about Bass Pro Shop. they gave this revolver at a pretty good price also plus there is one close by.

I wish there was a Cabelas near me. That is one neat store. What is your opinions on steel frame or stainless steel. thanks

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the feedback. I am sure you all know how important it is to be able to talk to someone that is impartial when you are going to make a purchase. I am going to get the remington from Cabelas. Thanks again for your help I am sure I will be back with more questions.

Thanks. I was looking at this Tradition 1858 Remington New Army Revolver in stainless steel at Cabelas for $279. My concern is I don't know what quality this revolver made by traditions is.

Hi, About a month ago I went out with a friend of mine and got to shoot his black powder gun. I think it was a reproduction of a walker colt in 44 cal. All I can say is after years of hunting and target shooting I had more fun than I can remember. And the bug has bitten, I have to get into...
