I open carry a 6 1/2inch S&W 624 once a month when I go for pizza. Gets me a10% discount.

My understanding is that Wyatt Earp's Buntline lived out its life as a mantle piece display.

500 Nitro double. Weighs 9 1/2 lb. About two lb underweight for caliber. It'll shove you around. No elephant problems though.

I have a 50 round drum for my Glock. No real use for it, it was more or less a one finger salute to we all know who. Now with these switches around I suppose it will look suspicious.

On a bet, John Browning converted a Winchester 1894 to semi auto or full auto in the space of eight hours. Guys, your lever gun is next!

I ran some experiments for cylinder gap vs velocity using a Dan Wesson 44 Mag with user adjustable gap. At 0.012 inch it started spitting crap back in my face. This with Magtech loads that are on the mild side.

The Taylor 45 Colt cylinder is proven with a standard SAAMI proof load. In the Colt and Remington reproes we are advised to stick to cowboy loads due to the soft steel in the rest of the revolver. I have mine in a Ruger Old Army which is essentially a Blackhawk, so I'm not afraid of any...

Haenel's website says 8x57 rimmed. I'd want to clarify if the specimen at hand is rimmed or rimless.

Automatic safety, out of place on a rifle.

Winchester claims 1230 fps from a 4.5 inch barrel for their 30 Luger. When I fire it from 4, 4.5, 5, & 6 inch barrels not a single round makes 1230 fps from any barrel length, let alone the average. Ejection is correspondingly weak. This from several Lugers and a Ruger P89. As a side note...

Winchester 22LR has a thicker rim than others. Makes it impossible to load in my latest Ruger. I consider this the fault if the Ruger magazine rather than the ammo.

I bought a Colt Mustang. Rear sight was loose in the dovetail, kept sliding off. I bought a vintage Anaconda, cylinder latch was loose in the dove tail, kept scraping the frame. I bought a Colt Government Model Competition Series Model 0, Creepy, gritty trigger. This is supposed to be a ready...

For the gun, I like the mountain gun better, for the cartridge, I like the 44 Special better, If you have a month or so to wait around I can make up my mind.

Here in Iowa, before the permit requirement was done away with, I was stopped on the side of the road to look at a map. State trooper pulls up behind me to see what's what. Carry piece is visible on the passenger seat. I have my carry permit, all is in order. He detained me and I am sitting...

Why would I care if it's pre-ban vs post-ban?

I came up on a garter snake with mower. Now having no legs, a snake can't jump. But that garter snake jumped! Went for the creek and lived for another day. Rattle snakes are unknown in my county. When I have met them elsewhere I don't shoot them, just let them go. This was always out in...

Agreed, but it's still following the 96 times rule.

The ATF will frown on a smooth bore 1911 sans tax stamp. Take care.

No brainer. Although I would run 10mm and not worry about 38-40 myself.

Not quite shure what you mean by the weight comment, but the British makers of the really really high end shotguns have a rule of thumb that a gun should weight 96 times the shot charge. 96 times a 12 gauge load of 1.25 oz is exactly 7.5 lb,
