    New .22lr revolver...which one...?

    For a D/A I voted for the 617 as I own one and it goes well with my 629 and 686 but have tried the other two options. Without knowing much about your use except to carry it occasionally and keeping it in the same D/A ball park price wise, have you took a look at a Model 17 masterpiece. It makes...

    Who Needs 450 Bushmaster When There's The 45-70?

    Why would you want to scrap your 45/70 or say you should in order to have a 450? I have a number of lever guns and AR's along with bolts, some scoped others iron sights, pumps, black powder, varying other semies and so on. Each has it's own little niche for me depending on use. I know some...

    Stepping up to centerfire

    I'll go in a slightly different direction then most and I'll explain why. I like have multiples of the same firearm in different calibers or as close to each other as possible. I even go as far as having replica pellet/bb guns of those same firearms. I like to warm-up or practice, usually with a...

    Ruger New Vaquero: Same frame for both .44mag and .45 Colt?

    Here is a small write-up in American Rifleman. He states that it does use the "old" or just Vaquero frame. https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/3/23/talo-distributors-special-edition-ruger-vaquero-birdshead-44-mag-revolver/

    454 or bigger big bore?

    I'd go with a S&W 460 instead. 45 colt, 454 or 460 what ever power load you desire for the day.

    Remington UMC 130 gr

    I've got a bunch of Remington UMC cartridges, .223's, 357's and your above mentioned 130 grain in 38 special. As like yourself, I found a great deal at a large sporting goods shop. In my case, it was buy one get two free. Of the lot, I only tried one box of the 38's as I needed the shells for a...

    Bushmaster AR's

    I can't speak of current day, or decade for that matter, Bushmaster products as the newest I have is from about 2004- 2005 or so. I do have examples of some of the not so common ones from then in one of my wall panels. Thought maybe you might appreciate a peek as they were the beginnings of some...

    38 Special vs 357 Magnum - Snub Nose

    I have only one snub, a 642 J-frame. It's also my only .38 special (+P or otherwise) though I have a number of .357's. Like most of my choices, I read up on the many options offered by S&W and other makers of similar sizes and weights. I wanted something with a long track record of proven...

    Took the file to it.

    Hi and thanks. I don't want to hijack the posters thread, I only have a few photos of my firearms so it's what I picked. I wanted a B movie type style of holsters for a couple different sets of six shooters but they were way to expensive. Something with just a little "bling" was $800.00 or so...

    Took the file to it.

    I do the same with my non-collectable single actions using a very fine file and finishing them off with a high grit sand paper. I set mine to my own hand-loads for POA, POI at 30 yards. Most front sight posts are made deliberately tall so that you have the option to do so. Here's a pair of new...
