I am trying to find some quotes from women for gun rights. I've been at it for 45 min and google is just giving me a bunch of women's rights quotes (not that there's anything wrong with that). Can anyone help me with some gun rights quotes from women? Reason being is that I work with all...

I have come across a Remington Rand 1911A1 that has been Duracoated :what:. How can I remove Dura coat to start my restoration process? Thanks, TheGent

Thanks for all the comments. I appreciate them all. I'm not a collector by any means. I use what I buy, gun or knife. An $800 dollar custom, handmade knife with mammoth ivory scales will go in my pocket to be used and appreciated that way. Same with a gun. I'd use a Schofield revolver in a...

I recently got into the Mosin Nagant Fan Club because a local gun store was selling the for $89. So I thought what the hell. I bought two. One to keep fresh and one to customize. I didn't know what I wanted to do to the one I bought for customizing. But, I knew that I wanted to keep it...

RIA looks promising. Has anyone tried the Iver Johnson 1911?

I just picked up a Colt New Agent w/ a 3" barrel and LOVE the hell out of this gun. Awesome shooter and great concealed carry piece. But, I still want a full size 1911 with a 5" barrel. Not really intended for concealed carry, well, maybe every once and a while ;) so it will be a budget gun...

They're good, but if you want inexpensive then go with the Armscor or Firestorm .38 special. Both are more concealable. The Windicator has a bulkier frame and his harder to find a holster for too. A great many people, including myself, have been surprised by the performance of the Armscor...

Need to date a Regulation Police. Thank you for the help once again :) 38 S&W 4" Barrel Round Butt 5 Shot Fixed (Front is a half moon) 47151 (Serial # also under the barrel reads R 47151) No Model Number. Thanks again for the help, ThaGent

I ended up starting my kick on single actions with a Super Blackhawk. I had to have the 7.5" barrel though. I think the balance is amazing. It was initially an "I just want to have one" gun. So was the Ruger Vaquero I bought a week later. The Vaquero does get CC time being that it's just...

May I ask where you got those grips, SharpsDressedMan?

The Public Defender. I have had it now for three weeks. This is the standard with the full hammer not the ultralight version with the bobbed hammer. I found while handling many versions that I had to adjust my grip to pull back on the bobbed hammer. I like the option of single action to...

Great responses and pics! I was finally able to catch up with this thread today. Great points CraigC. I wholeheartedly agree with you. I was talking to a police officer the other day and he made a eye opening point about revolvers in general using the following story: "You're on your way to...

Though I have had good experiences with Taurus revolvers I still say the 642. I love my 637. The 638 was a good one too. But it was passed along to a good friend.

Yep. 32 S&W Longs too. I think I last saw the 32 acp conv. cylinder for $79.95. I haven't got one yet -- other guns to buy ;) -- but if you think about it, with the cylinder conv. you are still under $200. Who wouldn't want a gun with that many ammo options?

They are not crap at all. A tank of a revolver. People will say the DA trigger pull is tough. It is, but it can be gotten used to with practice. 7.62x38mmR is an expensive ammo. I shoot 32 H&R mags out of mine because they are easier to find at the gun shows. Though they cost about the...
