I went to the range today to mess around with my .375 Model 94 and my Interarms .243. I took along my 1/4 steel buffalo target that I use for rimfire shooting. With the rimfires I shoot away and at the end of the day hit the buffalo with some white spray paint and it's as good as new.

Whenever I see new products being offered with certain claims of dubious or at least debatable superiority I am reminded of Mr...
The SAA has always been my assumption. Are you reading "The Ranger The Cook and the Hole in the Sky?" I love that story.
The ranger, Bill Bell, was known to Elmer Keith. He mentioned Bell on page 130 of "Sixguns". I think that's pretty interesting.

Can you please give me a short biography of National Ordnance 1903A3s. I recently picked one up at a gun show ser.# 7239****. Are there reliability problems or other shortfalls compared to higher priced Remington 1903s of the same era? thank you Darren

...are the handgun equivalent to a beige Toyota Corolla. They're fine but they lack any sort of personality.
The best handgun for you when the **** hits the fan is the NEAREST handgun to you. Glocks serve that purpose well for the most part but a lot of us like to have something else...
