    looking for sugestions for a first handgun

    Hi MedGrl, Get yourself a .22 revolver. Ammo is dirt cheap and everything you learn with it (including how to shoot without flinching) will apply to all others you purchase afterwards. Which .22? Without a doubt I recommend the Smith & Wesson K22 Masterpiece. You will have to buy one used as...

    Smith 629-2 with unfluted cylinder?

    Kurt, Sounds to me that you may have the 629-2 Classic Hunter.. though the grips are throwing me. Only 2500 made (in 1989) and i believe they all came as mine did with Hogue rubber grips. Is yours a full lug? Mine is an amazingly accurate gun and I think you will find yours very useful for...

    Some .357 advice please

    Smith & Wesson Model 27-2 with 3.5" barrel. Butter smooth double action, crisp light single action, unbelievable accuracy, and the pleasure of knowing you own a classic. Yes it will cost you more.. but then it also will continue to appreciate in value as well.

    ?'s about 2 rifles..

    Thanks gents, I am passing this info on to my neighbor. Re: the model of 1894 - how can we tell if the sights are original? They sure look as old as the rest of the gun, etc. Also re: its age: the butt plate appears to be made of a black plastic. Am I right in assuming that this therefore...

    Winchester 1200 Breakdown

    Just bought this used 20 ga and it looks great - actually it appears unfired. I am wanting to inspect and oil the interior and can't for the life of me break it down! Is it supposed to come apart the same way as an 870?

    Am I the Last Person Alive Who Prefers The Plain Barrel??

    Am I the Last Person Alive Who Prefers The Plain Barrel??

    Honestly... i find it shoulders faster, swings faster and more 'naturally', and is lighter to carry in the field. Re: the touted heat transfer of the vented barrel.. given that i can't legally fire more than 3 consecutive rounds I don't believe the barrel heats up sufficiently to make a...

    what was the downfall of the 16 gauge?

    my understanding is that because it has not been used in competition like the 12 and 20 has the demand/popularity of it and its components dramatically dropped off.
