Gripmaker Sack Peterson has been looking into the history of the Italian SAA clones for a few years and has composed a page of interesting info on the subject here.
I had been looking for a single action in .357/.38 as a plinker and as companion sidearm to two .357 chambered lever carbines; an...
I purchased this 10 days ago from a private party seller here in southern California. I could not believe my eyes when I saw it posted For Sale on another, local, gun forum. These things don't grow on trees. I found it while looking for a well-used .357 single action to serve as a plinker and a...
Gun is claimed to be very lightly used .357/.38 with just 100 rounds down the pipe. I am mostly up to speed with my own single actions so that I know what to look for as to exterior condition, but this won't tell me what I can't see. It appears to have a 5-1/2" barrel length. I have to drive an...
I purchased this excellent Model 696-1 from one of our colleagues here on THR. For those unaware, this is a 3"-barreled L-frame, 5-shot .44 Special made for a few years beginning in 2007. This gun went from the seller's FFL on the east coast to an FFL/gunsmith in Texas for work including a...

This is patently absurd... yet, I'm afraid, it is real. What can be done about this?

.44 Special enthusiasts had waited nearly 55 years! for this Ruger-produced chambering, and in a medium-frame New Model Blackhawk. If you wanted a .44 Special Blackhawk, you sent your flattop .357 to a custom gunmaker. This .44 Special Blackhawk may have been part of the original Lipsey's 2009...
...and a Winchester/Miroku-made-for-Browning .44 Magnum 1892
Pistols are, from left to right, a 1970 .22 LR Single Six, a 1964 Super Blackhawk and a 1967 .41 Magnum Blackhawk.

Colt SAA 5-1/2" .44 Special - 3rd Gen. I have put a decent deposit on this one, but I have another revolver to bring home first. If it doesn't pan out, my deposit may simply be transferred to another firearm, and my dealer is chock full of great things. No worries, there.
I really want...

I have several brands of factory .41 Magnum cartridges. I purchased them for the brass. :D Oh, and to shoot them once, first, before I reload 'em.
They are PMC (new old stock from the 1990's), new-manufactured Remington (R-P headstamp) and then a few hollerpoint factory loads featuring...

I'd like to start reloading for .41 Magnum, .44 Magnum and after I'm up to speed, .308 Win. Eventually I will add dies and shellholders for .38/.357, .45ACP and 7.62 X 39...
I'd like to stick with one manufacturer for all the gear, and after hanging out on the sidelines for a few years...

This followed me home last Sunday after I bailed 'er out of the California 10-day (waiting period) jail. I haven't taken it to the range yet but plan to this week. I finally had some time to give it a once-over, an oiling and a wipe down. She's a pretty clean piece!
I've...

The recently-released motion picture "Jane Got A Gun" was released with "as much advance notice as a traffic accident" ...which isn't surprising since Harvey Weinstein is a known anti. I'm surprised the picture was released by his company.
I'd like to see it especially since I dig...
What were some common bullet weights for the .30WCF (.30-30), say, in 1922? I don't reload (yet) so I don't have much reference material at hand (other than Go0gle!)... but I thought I'd ask The High Road Brain Trust, first.
I have a decent-bore Win 1894 in .30WCF but it doesn't seem to like...

Modifications are:
Flex-tab conversion, Supercell recoil pad, original 28" barrel swapped out for a Mossberg-made-for-870 18.5" blued, bead sight barrel. Uncle Mike's sling swivels. This one has an Andy's Leather 'Rhodesian' loop sling ready to hang on it...

I've had this older 1100 for a year or so. I bought it with the barrel seen in the pictures below; a 22" slug barrel.
I wanted to do something a little different with it and only enhance it's utility; perhaps use it in the HD rotation. Some time back I ran across a video (can't seem to...

I cannot properly express my appreciation for these latest efforts to preserve our 2nd Amendment rights (and although I personally do not own or possess any detachable box magazine capable of containing more than 10 rounds, I may wish to in the future). I find it refreshing to see some...

Those of you familiar with the 1911 know. It's military trials, it's supreme combat record... Anyone familiar with the Leatherslap competitions Jeff Cooper started in Big Bear, CA in the 1950s, his move to Arizona in the late '60s to establish what became the world-famous Gunsite school, his...

So I've acquired this sweet-condition 1980's Remington 1100 12 gauge (pictured above the 1100 LT-20 Special) fitted w/ 22" smoothbore, rifle-sights barrel... took it to the range yesterday after a cursory inspection and a drop of oil on each action bar...
The gun cycles fine with...

Looking at a stunning! Browning Model 92 in .44 Magnum, made in Japan. I have some questions...
1. Miroku?
2. Will it also reliably cycle .44 Special? (I don't reload yet)
3. How do I find the twist rate?
4. What off-the-shelf bulk .44 do you recommend for paper punching? Hunting...
