I'd ask which is the best, but the answers to those questions almost always end up with people posting their favorites anyway, so let's just cut to the chase! :neener: What's your favorite pistol in .40 S&W? Wherefore?

I recently grabbed a 1969-vintage Winchester 94 from Gunbroker and would like to add a saddle-ring stud and saddle-ring to it. Being ignorant of these guns, I'm unsure of if that's even possible. If it is, would it just be a matter of replacing one of the receiver screws with the...

As anyone with a wallet knows, Winchester 94s have skyrocketed in price since the announcement of the New Haven plant closing. There was a press release recently to the effect that Browning had bought the rights to make new Winchester guns, but I don't see anything in the text that suggests...

Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find much by searching. I load .38 Special on a single-stage press right now, and am curious about the possibilities for black powder in this cartridge. Are standard pistol primers still used? What's the procedure? Prime case...

I was wondering about this, today. Why are the hammer-mounted firing pins on Smith revolvers spring-loaded? I came up with some theories, but I'd like to know the real reason(s). Is it so that the firing pin gets a little extra "snap" from inertia? Is it less stress on the pin, so that it...

Mornin', all! I just started with shotguns a few weeks ago, and have only gone through a couple hundred shells in clay games so far. One thing I've noticed is that with the pumps I'm shooting I have a tendency to work the action almost automatically as the gun recoils. I'll pull the trigger...

Got a call from a buddy today on the way home from church. Seems there was an urgent need for somebody to make an awul lot of noise and smoke, and I was being volunteered. Well, I've never been one to shirk my civic duty, so I grabbed a "Mega Pak" of 9mm, my CZ, and headed on over to the...

While I'm waiting for my FFL to send his licence in, how about some pictures of your S&W Model 10s? You know, something to help me cope with the possibly week-long wait for a classy old gun to fuss with. Come on, let's see 'em! :cool:

Someone else recently took a long look at a Colt Agent I have and determined that it was out of time. He believed this because when you cock the hammer slowly by hand, the cylinder doesn't rotate far enough to lock up. This is true. However, I found that when you pull the trigger, it does...

I don't post much in here, but after using Jim March's excellent advice to pick up 3 revolvers in 2 months, perhaps I should start! I'm attaching a picture of the latest, found sitting forlorn at a gun show while a buddy was doing the paperwork on his first gun (a 1911): Serial is A84###...
