Yes they do. They know everything they need to know and they're effectively applying that knowledge while we sit around and make fun of the improper use of "clip". I wonder who is winning this little battle with the public.

Part of my preference for one over the other is dictated by use. One thing I like about SA is that it slows me down when I'm plinking, not just the deliberate cocking and trigger pull but loading and unloading as well. SA is a more thoughtful experience for me. But if I'm range shooting at paper...

I have an early 4" stainless no-dash. No galling whatsoever and it will shoot minute of snake at 20 yards all day, but I have small hands. I'm like JFrame above, it's the last gun I would ever let go of. $1200 might turn my head, but only slightly. Maybe lots of folks feel this way and that's...

I don't know why anyone would argue with someone else's choice in a defensive firearm. Sometimes it boils down to what someone is comfortable with. Sometimes it boils down to what someone can afford. I saw that one guy shoot that one gun faster than anyone can shoot that other gun. That's all...

Small, light, handy. Easily fits in a coat pocket. My 63/22 would be the last gun I'd let go of. I wish I had a pressing reason to buy a Bearcat. I'd grab one in an instant if I had a legitimate excuse.

Black Knight.... Found them at Midway! Thanks for the tip! I pulled the grips off a New Model Single Six and compared them with the ones on the Vaquero. They're exact duplicates, so grips should be easy to find.

What's your price range Searcher? If you can afford one, you might check out a pre-lock stainless S&W model 63 kit gun. They're very expensive but they're the definitive revolver for what you want to do. My other choice, possibly even my first choice, would be a stainless Ruger Single Six...

Thank you all for your advice. You helped me make up my mind. I'm going to shoot it and enjoy it and I'm going to take extra good care of it. Black Knight.... I bought it because I just couldn't pass up the deal. I didn't have a plan in mind when I got it. It was one of those situations where I...

I recently acquired a 44 Magnum High Gloss S/S 4 5/8" BBL Vaquero that has never been fired. It came with the original box and manual but nothing more. The cylinder has a faint line around it from dry cocking and spinning. I'd like to start shooting it but I don't want to significantly devalue...

3 calibers in one gun and, if you want, the cheapest retail handgun ammo this side of a .22. Can't ask for more than that. I love my Blackhawk convertible.

When it comes to self defense why compromise? Why not load up with the best self defense round you can buy and practice with something cheap that closely matches handling characteristics? I don't see why there would be any question or debate about that.

I'm 62. I have revolvers, pistols and thumb busters. My go-to gun is a 12g pump shotty. It makes the best flash, the loudest boom and the biggest hole.

Strike one. ;)

Wow, that's an interesting take on a single six. I like it! How does it handle?
