    Does/did anyone make a SAA/Peacemaker-"style" revolver in double action?

    Thanks for all the suggestions guys, VERY helpful. I now have a few different options I can give him to look into and try out at the next few gun shows. And I will definitely pass along your very friendly support and 'atta-boys' to him. Awhile back I actually suggested he start a blog or...

    Does/did anyone make a SAA/Peacemaker-"style" revolver in double action?

    RCModel, Thats EXACTLY what he's looking for, thanks so much!! I actually had heard of the M1877 trio, but was looking for something of a more recent production, he wants a plinker and range toy, not a collectors piece. As for his injuries, he suffered severe burns to his hands and...

    Does/did anyone make a SAA/Peacemaker-"style" revolver in double action?

    Hey guys, A friend asked me the above question the other day, and it stumped me, I couldn't come up with any suggestions. He loves the look of the old Single Action Army aka Peacemaker, and wants to get one for plinking and such. I don't think he's too particular about caliber or manufacturer...

I will be mailing them a copy of my C&R (they wont acept fax/electronic copies) tonight, and 2 days after they receive that, I should be getting my gun (they send all pistols 2-day as is common practice). I will post some pics here...

    Bought first C&R gun: Nagant M1895 Revolver

    I Bought my first C&R gun today!!! As is the case with many, I started off small. I already have a Russian Nagant rifle (plain-jane 91/30), I figured I should get a Russian Nagant sidearm as well. I ordered a Nagant M1895 revolver from J&G sales. According to the description, it should come...

    Do I need a manufacturer's license to make a prototype revolver?

    That is exactly the question that concerned me. The more i read the actual law: The more I feel i would NOT need a license. This would by no means be a 'regular course of trade or business' for me at the time I make the prototype. I have a separate career that consumes the VAST majority of...

    Do I need a manufacturer's license to make a prototype revolver?

    Hello all, I am a mechanical engineer, and in the process of equipping my home shop with machine tools and such. I have had an idea for a gun bouncing around in my head for awhile, and in the near future was going to start drawing out plans and slapping together a prototype to see if my idea...

    Buying first Mauser, need basic Mauser-pattern rifle info

    Hey guys, I received my C&R in the mail a few days ago :D:D, and will be making full use of it in the near future. My first purchase will probably be a Nagant revolver (figured a $100 russian nagant revolver would go well with my $100 russian nagant rifle). After that though, I will be buying...

    Lightest handgun available (for CCW while running)

    What holsters do you guys sue running? I was lookign for maybe an arm-band style or I've seen a few belly-band style one out there. Any suggestions on specific makes/models that you guys have experience with? I don;t like the idea of a fanny pack, I've tried using those before to hold powerbars...

    Lightest handgun available (for CCW while running)

    No offense, I mean this honestly... why did you even bother to reply to this thread? I mean, I specifically said that if your only input was to say something snarky about me needing a bigger gun, to save your breath (see below). I truly wonder what kind of person takes the time and energy to...

    Lightest handgun available (for CCW while running)

    Wow guys, lots of feedback, thanks! First let me clarify a little bit. The neighborhood isn't quite as bad as I apparently made it sound. It features regularly on the police blotter for drug arrests, solicitation, etc. and the the occasional violent crimes (of which my buddy Ian being shot is...

    Lightest handgun available (for CCW while running)

    KelTec PF-9: 12.7 oz I've already discounted pretty much any 9mm pistol I could find, they're all way too heavy (though please correct me if there's one in my weight range I'm overlooking). As for the others: KelTec P3AT: 8.3 oz Ruger LCP: 9.4 oz The two .380s are possibilities, but...

    Hey all, Due to a recent change in my home address and work hours, I now find myslf going for my daily run in a somewhat sketchy neighborhood (had a friend shot and killed on his front porch 3 blocks away) often after dark. Needless to say, I now carry on my runs. My poblem is my current carry...

    Best first gun (.22 revolver?) for my mother: has some hand-weakness

    Wow guys, I really appreciate the overwhelming responses. I ended up getting her a Heritage Rough Rider in .22 LR at the gun show saturday. NIB, out the door for 145 cash money. I think it'll be perfect. Fits her hands just fine, and she can work the hammer with her off hand easy as pie. Works...

    Best first gun (.22 revolver?) for my mother: has some hand-weakness

    Thanks for all the responses so far guys. As for the various reccomendations for a Ruger semiauto: don't get me wrong, I LOVE these guns, own a few, and shoot the hell outta them. But when shooting mine, it was too heavy for her. And I know they make polymer versions of the 22/45, and they have...

    Best first gun (.22 revolver?) for my mother: has some hand-weakness

    Hey guys, I recently took my mom out shooting for the first time, and she LOVED it. Was a pretty good shot too. She has definitely expressed interest in getting a gun for herself (I think she liked shooting a handgun the most) so I figured I'd surprise her with one for her birthday coming up...

    First Rifle reloading effort (.223), whats different from pistol?

    IKPerDay: Thanks, thats a lot of the info I was looking for. I'm sure when I get home and sort through which dies I have and run through a dummy practice batch, I'll have some more, but I think I get the basics. And yes, I do already have calipers, scale, manuals, etc. Am I correct that the...

    First Rifle reloading effort (.223), whats different from pistol?

    Hey all, I recently set myself up with a Lee Classic 4-hole Turret press to reload for pistol (40 s&w) and have gotten pretty comfortable with that. I have it set up with the auto disk pro measure and safety prime system and carbide dies for .40. Since I just ordered a Kel-Tec SU-16C...
