    The Dakota - Granddaddy of the Italian SAA clones

    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...

    4-5/8" .44 Special Ruger Blackhawk, New Model flat top came home today

    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...

    Considering a used Uberti Cattleman - any caveats?

    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...

    S&W 696 - Action work by "T"/Teddy Jacobson

    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...

    Federal Appeals Court: Lawful Gun Carriers Must Forfeit Other Rights - ?

    . This is patently absurd... yet, I'm afraid, it is real. What can be done about this? https://www.nraila.org/articles/20170127/federal-appeals-court-s-shocking-pronouncement-lawful-gun-carriers-must-forfeit-other-rights

    New Model Blackhawk in .44 Special

    .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...

    Colt SAA 5-1/2" .44 Special - 3rd Gen. Found one for sale...

    . 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...

    .41 Magnum brass O.D. after resizing

    . 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...

    RCBS Questions from new reloader

    . 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...

    1964 Ruger Super Blackhawk

    . 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...

    Movie: "Jane Got A Gun" released with little advance notice

    . 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...

    1920's rifle ammunition question

    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...

    Older Remington 1100, modified in the Texas 3-gun style

    . 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...

    California: County Sheriffs Sue Los Angeles over Ordinance Prohibiting Large Cap Mags

    . 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...

    The 1911 pistol: Obsolete, irrelevant and immaterial
