    Mmmmkay fellers! Get them checkbooks and credit cards warmed up!

    Truly ridiculous on multiple levels, in my opinion

    Taurus TH45 Just Released

    I have been thinking of a 1911 pattern weapon for home defense, but would like a DA/SA and higher capacity. This checks those boxes so I think I will do some more research on this one with an eye toward buying one. I have cylinders in 45ACP for my 45 Colt revolvers, but they aren't great for...

    T/c. Shut down

    I've an Encore with 30-06 bbl and 50 cal muzzle loader bbl - always planned to get more barrels and also a Contender setup, but that is going to require more searching the used racks now. The Encore is aseriously strong/overbuilt firearm - maybe not as sexy as some, but it always shot well for me

    Quality alternatives to an LCP?

    The Pico is no longer in production, if that matters to you. The S&W BG380 is pretty close in size, and like the original LCP, is a DAO hammer fired pocket 380.

    Hiking Revolver, what do you pack?

    I used to carry a stainless 4" GP100 with 158gn 357Mag softpoints and a speedloader, but the past 5-10 years I've been going with a lighter packing sidearm - either a S&W642 with +P HP ammo or a Charter Arms Bulldog XL in 45 Colt with handloads of either 255gn SWC or 225gn HP and a couple of...

    Speed strips, what are you favorite?

    I've had the same issues with the Tuffproducts strips - even ones that simply sat in a sock drawer for most of their life, split and crumbled the 2nd time I put them into a pocket and went for a walk. Going with Bianchi only from now on!

    Ghetto Revolver Face-off

    I dry fired my CA 45 Colt bulldog a few hundred times before I took it to the range. It has had around 300 rounds through it with no issues

    Charter Arms Bulldog XL .45 Colt

    You can tell when someone with a revolver is shooting the heavy stuff, like 300grain in 45 Colt Ruger Blackhawks for hunting. The front sight will be non standard and stick up an extra 3/8"

    Charter Arms Bulldog XL .45 Colt

    The sights are about right for 230-255 grain loads at 800fps. Lighter loads or faster loads will shoot low

    Literally "Found" a treasure today

    Wow!! That is great, and it really IS a Closet Gun!

    Happy but Sad, but very Happy

    Looks really good! Only ones I have ever come across were all banged up and missing parts.

    Charter Arms Bulldog XL .45 Colt

    I like mine, carry it most times when I am hiking or just in the woods. Few hundred rounds through it, both factory and my loads. The trigger has smoothed up some and the revolver is still tight. For me, I find the chambers and cylinder are pretty much at the 45Colt SAAMI dimensions and not...

    NY Bill A10503: Will it pass?

    I wouldn't bet against it, there are still alot of Democrats in control in the state assembly and they are eager to pass *something*, whether it is good or not.

    Talking Points to Refute the "Studies" that prove gun control works

    Generally the "gun violence" numbers always include the suicide by firearm numbers in the US, which is over half the total number. It is not to say that isn't tragic - but it is using "numbers" to obfuscate and inflate the perception of the actual crimes (homicide and non-fatal shootings). The...

    Charter 41 Magnum?

    The 41Mag and 45 Colt are built on what is often called the Bulldog XL frame. It is larger and stronger than the 44Special frame and the cylinder is larger. Still has the same size metal grip frame and has solid sides, not hollowed out side plates like S&W frames. It isn't finely polished, but...

    Beretta warranty service

    Hmm, I am also totally rethinking my plans to buy a Beretta Nano - after hearing so many instances of poor customer support. I understand that anything that is mass produced can sometimes have issues - and I accept that. But, setting things right in a proper and timely fashion for customers...

    M642 Airweight

    I would advise running 100-200 rounds through it if you aren't already a Snubbie shooter to learn to shoot it accurately and to smooth out the trigger. Also you can put snap caps in and just dry fire it several hundred times while watching tv...

    Charter Arms 9mm Pitbull

    The six shooters(early version) are definitely rare to find. Even the five shooters, that is a very good price

    What are these rings in the chambers?

    I think alot of production lines these days are cutting costs where they can. Chamber throats don't *have* to be smooth, from a practical standpoint, so leaving the toolmarks in there without honing them out saves S&W time and $$. Further, honing them will open them up, probably another couple...
