I'm always glad to see more options. "It's just a Taurus?" You say that like it's a bad thing? ;)

My son decided he wanted a pet snake. "I'll take care of it!" So we got him a Red-Tailed Boa, I think it was. Thing got out of the tank once, and we thought he was gone. We couldn't find him anywhere. Then a day or two later I noticed the beagle "pointing" on the baseboard heater. I told...

I had a 4", 586 at one time. Absoultly beautiful gun, probably unfired outside the factory, but I had convinced myself I didn't like the "L" frame guns for some stupid reason. It had come to me as part of another deal, and it languished in my safe for a while before I sold it, still unfired...

You didn't pay too much Mark. You just got it a little early. Beautiful revolver. I like the grips...probably Sile. I've got a set of their Magna's on a '55 M&P 38. They actually feel better than factory Magna's. You will enjoy that one. Consider that to be an order. ;)

Bill Hickock was said to have emptied his Colt Navies every day and reload them. He seemed to know what he was doing. Except for that one time when he took the wrong seat.

Naw...I met my wife in an online chat room many years ago. She's just glad I'm not still chasing redheads. Guns? NO PROBLEM. Heck, at my age, if I chased redheads anymore, I'd be like the dog that caught the car. "NOW what do I do with it?"

Mostly because I just want to. No particular reason. I'd never really thought about it until my wife, a Milwaukee/Chicago girl talked me into it. The "shall issue" law had just been passed and she pointed out "A lot of people must have worked really hard to get this law passed. If "we" don't...

I have always been led to believe that they are considered a a concealed handgun under Virginia law, and you need a CHP to wear one. That's not legal advice, just gunshop commando talk. Since (1) I have a CHP, and (2) don't intend to wear the buckle I've never really thought too much about it...

I'm thinking about one of those.

Since the only bears I've seen in my life, were bumming Hersey bars on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I figure I'm not likely to need a gun for them, but I figured, what the heck? I might as well get one to meet the threat. So I got this. Ok...OK...I'm just kidding about the bears. The only...

I don't know about the Ruger, but I've got a couple of Taurus' in 32 Federal Magnun that I like lot. They're my go to carry gun now. I reload my 32 FD Magnum to about 32 H&R levels and find it a really good cartridge. The Fed Mag is a hotter cartridge, but it's a lot louder and has more...

I remember a time when people looked down their noses at them as "just a 38." That seems to have changed in the last few years.

Not only that, "combat" doesn't always involve big armies. A lone cop on a beat vs a thug breaking into a business, or a homeowner defending his home in the middle of the night. That's "combat". Small scale, but combat.

I just use the standard wadcutter load. It's been around forever for a reason. 148 grain Berry's DEWC, over 2.8 grains of Bullseye. I've been using WW 231 lately because I can't find Bullseye. I'd have to look up the exact charge of 231, but it's a standard "book" charge. I use Federal...

I used to have a Ruger Security-Six, in stainless steel (which was pretty new in those days) with Pachmyer grips, in an Uncle Mikes nylon holster. I called it my all weather gun. But to tell you truth, I've never had any problem with any gun rusting. I just keep 'em oiled, or now I wax them...

Every now and then I need to remind myself just how much I really like a gun. Yesterday it was my Model 15-2 "Combat Masterpiece" (the BEST name ever for a handgun IMHO) that I took along to the range, with a box of 100 + rounds of reloaded 38 wadcutters. Shooting everything in double action...

I've never seen a 357 revolver that I didn't like. I've owned Smith and Wesson, Colt, Dan Wesson, Ruger, Taurus, and probably some others I can't think of off the top of my head. Both Single and Double action. Which I like best depends on which one I'm thinking about at the moment. I have no...

There was another old coot eyeing my wife and I as we looked at it. I figure he was waiting to pounce if I even put it down on the counter. :) They wanted more for this one, than I really wanted to spend ($500), but I thought of the advice I throw out here and there so often "When was the...

I had another H&R some years ago that I couldn't shoot well either. I remember shooting it one morning and thinking I was having a bad day. Switched over to my Model 17 and started shooting the X-ring out of the target. Same target, same range, same ammo. I just want this one for grins and...

I haven't been to the gun store for a couple of weeks. That's a long time for me. I was halfway expecting a get well card in the mail. Anyway, my wife and I stopped by today, just to spread good cheer and boost the moral of the working people you know, but sure enough, there in the corner of...
