    What if you owned Colt and, wanted to make revolvers again?

    My understanding is that they left the revolver business due a loss of profits in a market dominated by S& W, Ruger and, Taurus. If you were the head of Colt, what would you do to get back in the game? Bring back the old favorites, or come up with something new? Keep the snake names? How...

    45 ACP Revolver WHY?????

    I'm considering trading in my Ruger GP-161 for a S&W 625-5. I've always liked the idea of moon clips, along with the apparent low recoil of a .45acp in a big frame revolver. I've beeen waiting for Ruger to make a Redhawk in .45 acp, but that will probably never happen. I'd like to eventually...

    Using a starter pistol, or blank firing gun for self-defense?

    Clarification But the guy is not within shooting range. He's still downstairs, or coming up the stairs. You can't see him, nor he you.

    Using a starter pistol, or blank firing gun for self-defense?

    The scenario: You are woken up at night hearing some unfamiliar noise downstairs. You listen a bit more and, hear footsteps ascending the stairs. Your first reaction is to get out two handguns: one real and, the other a starter pistol, which you shoot once or twice into the air. Afterwards...
