    Concealing in Business Casual?

    I'm in outside sales and have to wear dockers and a dress shirt daily, and still like to carry when I can. I tried a couple different options but have finally settled on my Rohrbaugh and a quality pocket holster. It fits comfortably in my front pocket and with the holster doesn't have the...

    Scratches on stainless steel Colt Anaconda

    I went through the same thing with my Anaconda when I bought mine. I used nothing but elbow grease and Mothers Mag Polish on mine. It took several evenings a little at a time watching TV to get it to where it is today. It really isn't that difficult. Here are just a couple pics. Click on any of...

    Should 18 Year Olds Be Allowed to CCW?

    In theory it sounds like 18 year olds ought to be able to carry BUT I have an 18 year old son that isn't NEARLY mature enough to be trusted carrying a firearm. He can't mangage to keep track of his cell phone, AND keep the battery charged most days.... I can just imagine him leaving his gun...

    Anyone heard of a Gun called a Cobra?

    A friend once showed me the "DEAL" he got on a pistol, and it was a Cobra 9mm..... We took it to the range and it was a true POS Jam-o-matic, he could only hit the paper in about 1 of the 3 rounds it actually managed to chamber and fire. He sold it the next day.

    Sights on the Colt New Agent

    I bought one of the first available New Agents and like mentioned earlier learned to be very proficient with the point/shoot technique with a sillouette target. After 40-50 rounds now I can be just as accurate with my New Agent as I am with my 2" revolvers WITH sights at the same distance on the...

    Stiff O/U

    I've got a BRAND NEW Browning Citori, that is very stiff as well. I haven't had a chance to get it out to shoot just yet and was wondering if it would loosen up after a few hundred rounds went down range. Are ALL Browing type actions this tight when new? It works just fine but requires the...

    Browning-over and under *HELP*

    I have one and WAY more than 25 were made. I haven't had a chance to get mine out yet but I will be shooting it soon. Shoot it and enjoy it... out of curiosity what did you pay for it??? I've seen some ridiculously high asking prices for those at local shops.... like $2600 !! I paid over a $1000...

    Small Revolver for CCW

    I'll try and answer your questions. What years made? Early Cobra's and Agents have been around almost as long as Detective Specials (50's). The only real differences was the alloy frames of the Cobra/Agents where the Detective Special is the same gun with a steel frame. About the same...

    Has anybody thought about completing a collection?

    I'm a big Colt fan and have been trying to complete a Snake Gun collection for several years now. I have a NIB 6" blued Python, as well as a 6" Stainless Python, a NIB Nickel Cobra, a 6" blued King Cobra, a 4" blued .22LR Diamondback and a 4" nickel Diamondback, a NIB nickel Viper, and a 6"...

    Small Revolver for CCW

    Another vote from the 6-shooter Colt camp. One of my favorite carry pistol is my Colt Agent with an alloy from and hammer shroud. It is amazingly accurate for it's size and really not bad to shoot at all. It's basically the same gun as my Colt Cobra but it's NIB and haven't had it out to...

    Colt Cobra Disassembly?

    I've used Mothers Mag Polish or Flitz to put a little more shine on my nickel Colts. Just don't go to crazy as the nickel plating isn't real thick, especially if there is any of the copper plating showing anywhere, but it doesn't look like itin your pics. I have a NIB Cobra just like yours and...

    Made In America Does That Include Your Guns?

    I'd say I'm 95% "Made in America" for my guns. Most all of them are Colts (12). I have a Wilson Combat and an Armalite AR10T carbine. my only non-US made gun is my Browning Citori and I saw on the box it has made in Japan (???)

    A Gripe About Some Concealed Carry Laws

    Ohio laws are MUCH more screwed up on school zone laws. We aren't legally allowed to have a gun ANYWHERE on school property... not even locked in the glove compartment. I'm supposed to drop my gun off at home before I can pick up my kids from school.

    Do Guns Appreciate Or Deppreciate In Value?

    Old Colt revolvers seem to be slowly increasing in value almost daily. I've stocked up on my Colt snake gun collection earlier before they all become too outrageous. Who knows what they may be worth in a few years. If they don't appreciate I still have some sweet revolvers to play with!
