It seems about a year ago or so I got an odd hankering to make my own renditions of Doc Holliday's pistols based way loosely on some online history and the movie Tombstone. For his historical 1877 nickel plated Colt Lightning (pearl handled?), I used a Cimarron stainless Thunderball with a birds...

Some time back I posted a link to a vid on shooting my Sig P365 Co2 bb pistol in cold winter weather, but this second look/vid is from a couple weeks ago when we had one last hot day of the season. While it preformed flawlessly, it didn't seem as accurate in the hot weather as it did with the...

Good news is I fixed it, (so you don't have to read all this to find out) but I'm bummed nearly every (big name) new gun I've purchased in the last couple years has had factory produced (slipping by QC or?) functional issues with the exception of believe it or not a Taurus revolver. It is as...

As I'd posted in a couple other threads, I recently picked up this older Ruger Mark II Target .22 lr two tone finish at a local firearms estate auction. I'd had my share of MK II, III, IV's etc. pistols in the past, and (regrettably) long moved on from them. I actually missed my MK II's however...

So a few months back I got a new Ruger BlackHawk CarryHawk .45LC/.45 ACP, and had a few issues with it right out of the box that are now resolved, so here's that thread if you want to see it...

We're still dealing with the MN stay at home mandate due to covid 19, and I just thought I'd share a little project I got into looking for something to do. Recently (last few months) I had picked up a couple of old Bauer .25 ACP mouse gun pistols, and buying some spare parts for refurbishing...

A couple months ago I had picked up my first Bauer .25 ACP Auto pistol (80's vintage) from a local pawn shop after some unrelated business. It was a mess both inside and out, not to mention assembled incorrectly. I learned a lot from rebuilding and refinishing that little gun, and decided I...

I was looking at some different (more budget minded) holsters for my new Ruger BlackHawk CarryHawk, I found Gary C's Leather on flebay and they had a model called 'Avenger OWB' for the standard NM BlackHawk. I was not sure if my BH Carryhawk was the exact same size as the standard Blackhawk but...

Last week while rehabbing from a foot injury and not any place to go due to this Covid issue I decided to make a set of custom ivory (faux) grips for my Ruger BlackHawk CarryHawk .45 cal. I have another thread on this newer acquisition pertaining to issues and resolutions, but this is neither...

I kinda recently picked up a new Ruger New Model BlackHawk Wileys CarryHawk in .45 LC/.45 ACP that I'd had on order for a couple weeks. I was real excited when it came in as I our family had suffered some sad events that week with my very close Uncle passing, my Dads health taking a bad turn...

With Easter just around the corner (or longer..lol) I just thought I'd post a video I made last May of shooting some Easter eggs left over that were a bit under cooked and old by this time. I was using my Weihrauch HW 44 .22 pcp pistol at about 25 yards. The problem was I was using different...

Beginning of winter I picked up a Sig P365 Co2 .177 BB pistol, and made a vid of shooting it for the first time. No table top review, or in depth information on the pistol itself, but rather my just giving it a try at some shorter defensive range distances. One slight obstacle is the temperature...

Nothing historically accurate in any way shape or form, but just a companion blade to another rendition I made a month ago or so in a Doc Holliday pearl handled revolver. I picked up a recent manufactured Schrade Old Timer Boot/Belt knife, and replaced the hollow plastic grips with some...

So just to add a little something here, I made a video a little over a year ago on my oldest (not that old, but I don't have many bb pistols) bb pistol, a Cybergun Sig Sauer SP2022 Co2 .177 cal. I've had the pistol since 2009, and only shoot it once and a while now. For a mostly poly/plastic...

Some time ago I acquired this used older (1996) Vaquero .44 Magnum, stainless steel, 7.5 inch barrel, with Ruger medallion faux ivory grips, and also a nice Ruger flap holster for a fairly low price. The catch was, cosmetically this old single action was looking a bit rough. Mechanically...

I'm aware there is a lot of information and speculation of what guns Doc Holliday may have owned/used, but the one I was most interested was the 1877 Colt Lightning pearl handled nickle .38 DA it is said he had. Originally I looked at the available marketed "Doc" replica guns like Cimarron Doc...
