    Holster for 629-4

    I recently purchased a used 4" 629-4. I would like recommendations for a hip holster for carry concealment. There is no open carry in Texas. Also, do speed loaders help? I'm a veteran, so I'm very familiar to autos, but new to revolvers. Any input would be greatly appreciated and well received.

    What's the secret to The Mosin Bayonet???

    I got a 91/30 Mosin Nagant. It shoots great and all numbers match. Surprisingly very accurate. I just can't get the bayonet to fit. It gets stuck half way on and is a mother to get off (Only hammer works):scrutiny: . I even tried oiling it, but gets stuck in same spot. I've talked with another...

    Duckster's Range Report

    I took my new (new to me) Mosin 91/30 out to the range today. It fired great:evil: . I had to use a little Kentucky Windage, it shoots a wee bit right. Once I got that down pat, I nailed the 200 yard target. Then I moved up to the 400 yard target and nailed it 3 times in a row before it...

    Looked at a Nagant today

    I saw a Nagant at the Gun Shop today. I think it was a 9430, It is the long version without the bayonet on it. The sights go out to 2,000 meters so I thought that was neat. What caught my attention is that it is only about $150 and $5 for box of ammo. The gun store guys say it is a very accurate...
