    Info on this revolver?

    Would anyone like to tell me more about this revolver? This pic was sent by a friend- it was his grandfather's. I know nothing about old S&Ws, and figure I'd ask you all here while I looked around for information. Sorry I only have the one pic, hopefully it's good for some info though.

    This thread is simply to credit decent upstanding folks who make guns & accessories, and do it well. Companies or individuals who are proud of their work and truly care that the customer is happy with what they purchase. Who in your opinion is doing things the right way in both product...

    Including provisions for others in emergency preparations.

    Recalling Preacherman's unexpected migration of visitors (and their univited guests) during Katrina, I'm just curious as to how many folks here have since factored in a little "extra" in their emergency supplies just in case, and if so what do they recommend? .

    1895G loading gate issue?

    It is an absolute bear to get cartridges into the magazine of my 1895G through the loading gate. The gate pushes easily and springs back fine, but there's a hangup at the end when I load a round. Once in, I have to push the round a bit forward with the tip of my thumb to get it so the gate...

    So, how old is your carry gun?

    What birthday is you carry gun celebrating these days? A comfortably broken-in 5 years old? A dependable old friend at vintage 20 years? A "don't make 'em like this anymore" veteran of 50 years? Or a "new gun smell fresh" nugget from the factory line? (And for those of us who can't...

    What flavor is your gun?

    That's right... what flavor is your gun? Does your Glock taste like licorice? ...your Dad's old levergun like hickory-smoked venison? ...your Les Baer like a smooth 42 year-old malt? ...your Hi-Point like a Big Mac? I guess what I'm asking is: What flavor is your gun?!!! (...no...

    Let's talk about self-inflicted injuries in real life defense scenarios.

    Every now and again I read about people defending themselves with a firearm (usually a handgun) who end up inadvertently shooting themselves in the process (usually in the extremities, and often through the off-hand). Does anybody here have any anecdotes or experiences of this to share? .

    How much ammo do you usually carry with your CCW?

    Hi all- This thread got me thinking, and now I'm idly curious. If you have a CCW (or don't need one to carry where you live), how much ammo do you carry with you? The gun's capacity? A spare magazine or speedloader? More? A lot more?... .

    Which is better... 9 or 45 ?

    I'm thinking of hosting a party and am wondering if I should keep it "cozy" and only invite 9 friends, or should I go for all out bash and invite 45 folks? ;) Seriously, here's a real question: For those of you with significant others- if you both have guns of your own, what do you...

    Interesting NOLA story via Rolling Stone (with bonus Sean Penn action!)

    link (Yeah, I know- he doesn't excoriate Penn, and he calls a gun a "Rueger automatic". So there, I brought it up here first.) :rolleyes:
