I have pistols ranging from the Colt N1903 ,25 cal to the Gold Cup Trophy and even a lettered 1918 year 1911. I shoot most, not all on a rotating basis and find that practice makes a difference as each model can print differently, so I practice if I'm way off target to improve. Moving on, I have...

I refused to buy any ammo or firearms during the "Aftermath Panic of CT Shootings" knowing that eventually things will return to a stable market. Look at all the AR's folks bought at 3 to 4 times pre-panic on credit cards and now face the reality of selling at a loss to pay the bill or keeping...

My wife used to work IT for our local hospital so I've some insight into the why. Like any business entity certain rules are put into place to insure that the worker bee doesn't get distracted and is as productive as possible. Because it's a pain in the rear to set up 2 internet access protocols...

What IF reloading is not an option, then what? Please understand that reloading for many folks simply isn't possible due to either space/facility constraints, age/physical issues or startup equipment and learning curve barriers. I "think" the OP wants direction on boxed ammo access, though I...

Thank you Dennis. I agree on the 3rd gen stocks and also prolonged use at the range with stocks that still have a sharp checkering. I have Herretts on a reblued Trooper that I can use or I can cheat and glove some range sessions ;) Somewhere in the safe I've a set of full bark stags and another...

Python stock prices have soared into the stratosphere where some examples have fetched $350 (no I didn't stutter though I wish I did ;) ). I purchased a 1978 Python in nickel finish and it came with Pachmyer Presentation w/medallion which would have been incorrect for that year as factory...

Not to get off topic BUT a drag line on a revolver's cylinder can occur by incorrectly closing the cylinder without pushing the cylinder latch backwards (on a Colt) and indexing the chamber to the barrel upon closing, thus allowing the bolt to drag against the cylinder when turning it into it's...

I was born and raised in Chicago and if one would do their due diligence and educate themselves on the politics that has reigned supreme in that city since before the Great Chicago Fire one would see a picture of corruption from the mayors office downward or the ward upward, take your pick. The...

Back away from whatever it is you appear to be smoking as it's illegal, while you 're at it put down the bottle of Ripple. Trading a Colt for a dime a dozen LCR is a hanging offense in my neck of the woods. Please seek professional counseling ASAP.

True, I was remiss in generalizing as the Tansley safety disconnect was indeed added in 1926. I just received my 3rd 1903 a few days ago complete with 2 extra original magazines and this pistol is my newest being a 1928 build (the other 2 are 1917 & 1919 builds). Appreciate your additional input :)

I prefer my used guns to be pre 1975 and made by master craftsmen that fit each part with great care and precision. There are only a handful of brand name gun manufacturers that I've focused on over the past 45+ years that I've been allowed to purchase and own such fine firearms. When I'm no...

Age old question with opinions galore. Will a .25 or .32 knock somebody down like a .44 or .45, not likely. Will a .25 or .32 be capable of causing a critical/lethal injury, yes. I've used .45 as a CC and typically don't wander much below the .380 though I have a few Colt .25 vest pockets and...

SIG....tho I instinctively point muzzle down and use left thumb on hammer cause nothing mechanical is fail proof :)

Shhhhhh.....you'll give away my game plan before I have a chance to zero in the .243 :evil:

Lesse, we have horses, are in Texas...there is the occassional sighting of bobcat...no problems. Can't oblidge with a chicken joke, sorry :(

If the Colt hasn't been tampered with I'd probably go that route depending, of course, on condition.

Very True. The Colt purists will tell you NEVER refinish, EVER. Then you'll have your NIB Colt Purists but that's a different breed altogther. The M1908 Vest Pocket is a neat little pistol and if you search GB you'll see quite a few available at various prices. IF you want a pristine example...

Very rarely am I at a loss for words...but........ :what:

Very true Senor Bill :) Grandad, as everyone called him, was a stickler about "condition" and even if something was well used it still was well cared for and treasured. We lucked out and drew his favorite shotgun and rifle though we missed out on the Colts :( . How did my wife reach into the hat...

My father in law was a "collector" of many things and an "accumulator" of everything. He literally threw nothing away. Almost three years after his passing the family is still sifting through literally many thousands of items to organize enough for sale/auction/disposal/donation. Thankfully the...
