    No defensive use?

    Apparently, firearms have no defensive use according to this guy. This video makes my head hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYmDEIH4H3A Dave

    Wobble in a windstorm

    Just got back from the range. Pasta and I had a chance to play hooky, and to try out The Old Man. I'm sure he'll be in here before too long and mention he needed to break in his new gun. Don't believe him, he could think about a clay, and it would break. I should break him in. The wind is...

    The Old Man

    Well, after ignoring the warnings from my friends here on THR, I went ahead and bought "The Old Man". It's a 1951, and still has the wooden plug in it. I just cleaned it, and it had what looked like sand in the trigger group. Would that be grex or some other shot buffer? You can see the crack...

    870 Wingmaster

    Ok, all this talk recently about 870's has had my interest piqued. I went to a dealer and found an 870 Wingmaster with a 30" barrel marked 2 3/4 only and a fixed full choke. There is no vent rib, but the skid marks like on a rib are on the barrel. Single bead sight, and smooth action. The bluing...

    The importance of BA/UU/R

    I had my second ever taste of skeet this afternoon, and am I hooked. I seriously need to take care of some basics, though. After pondering everything I could have been doing wrong, I reread the patterning post, and realised I haven't patterned with the new skeet choke. Gads, I feel dumb. Oh...

    1973 .357 Blackhawk

    Hi. I bought a Blackhawk for very little money about a year ago. The reason it was so cheap is that it is pretty beat up. What problems, if any, would there be in refinishing this piece? I don't think it is a collectors item, other than there is no billboard on the barrel. Anyway, I want to...

    Wheelgun madness!

    Yesterday had to have been the perfect day. I got my Thunder Ranch from THR member manofsteele. It is really a nice piece. Didn't think it would be that big, though. Do all N frame Smiths have oil cans for cylinders? On the way out of the shop I had it shipped to, I heard a little whisper. It...

    Interesting trade, what do you think?

    I have an opportunity to trade in an HK USPc .45 for either a Dan Wesson .357 with an extra barrel or two (I can't remember how many) or a Dan Wesson .41 with just the one barrel. I do prefer revolvers, and I already own a 1911. I really worked hard to get the HK, but these revolvers are...
