He wants a revolver, IN ADDITION TO, the Ruger? Or he wants a revolver TO REPLACE the Ruger - because he's decided he dislikes the Ruger or because he's old and having trouble working the slide or for some other reason? Knowing what he would want the revolver for makes a big difference in my...

For 45 I use this nylon double speed loader pouch. It holds four clips - two in each pocket. You put the first one in bullet down, and set the other one on top of it, base to base.

I bought my python in 83 I believe it was. Cost me $465, which was more than a week's pay. I understand they're going for many many thousands of dollars nowadays. Does that mean my python is too valuable to carry? A brand spanking new Colt Single Action Army runs about $2,000. Is it too...

Depends on how you look at it. Either my 7½" Ruger Super Redhawk .454. Or my 11" Rossi Overland 12 gauge.
