It's sad that custom guns are often limited to reciprocating shell chuckers. Revolvers are often not deemed worthy of custom gun treatment, and they just soldier on shooting reliably as intended. Close to a year ago, I dropped off a Smith & Wesson 649 at Clark Custom for a Meltdown and a...

One of the curious things I have found on the innertubes is that there is very little mention, and almost no photos of a custom modification done at Clark Custom called the "Meltdown." Heck, even on Clark's own website, the pictures are hard to see and don't show very much. Recently, I...

Heck, I can't wait for the subject to come up...........Take a gander at my new pistol! It's a TOZ-35, an Olympic quality free pistol. These are available at CDNN for $499 with the fitted wooden box. Mine is unfired. Until this afternoon. Here are the rest of my precision hole...

"The Great New Orleans Gun Grab-Descent Into Anarchy".....The book that had to be written, was written and published recently by Gordon Hutchinson & Todd Masson. It is available at Louisiana Publishing, The Louisiana Conservative and Amazon.com for $19.95. I do not usually come on The High...

I found this story amusing. It happened recently in Shreveport Louisiana, and demonstrates the role guts play in a confrontation.

Because so many here carry them, I want to alert folks to this kaboom. Public service announcement only........The jury is still out. Original Thread Gun Zone Article S&W Forum Thread

I purchased a handgun today that is rather unusual. It appears to have been made from a Martini-Henry rifle. I'm thinking it was made in Nepal, the Congo or Afghanistan. It is decorated with triangular punch marks. Has anyone ever seen one of these before or know anything at all about it?

I purchased a Remington Rand today, which I believe is 100% correct. I do have a few questions though. Some parts...the slide stop, barrel bushing, extractor and grip safety appear to have a slightly darker finish than the rest of the gun. There seems to be little to no wear on the internal...

I'm planning on sending off a stainless SW1911 for customization at Clark's. I have never liked the two toned look of the pistol, and I want it to come back entirely bead blasted. Rather than replace the grip safety, thumb safety, plunger tube and mag release, can they simply be bead blasted...

I was looking at a couple of like new Winchester shotguns yesterday, one a Model 1400, the other a 1200. Both had nicely figured wood, both were unfired. The 1400 had a ribbed barrel, and was marked "skeet". Both had a red "W" on the oval metal piece on the grip portion of the stock. Both had...

I found this old Smith and Wesson in a pawn shop and decided to bring it on home. You can read more about it here. Has anyone else noticed the N frame scarcity that seems to be occuring?

I bought a set of grips, a nice set of stags. They apparently fit an Officer sized 1911, but only if the lower bushing is moved up about 1/8 inch. In other words, the holes in the grips are 1/8 inch too close together. The cut for the mag release is exactly correct, as is the size and bevel of...

I horse traded for a Colt Combat Commander in electroless nickel yesterday. The pistol is no longer original, the sights have been changed, the grips swapped, and the ejection port has been lowered and flared. The work on the ejection port is well done, but of course, irreversible. The work done...

I rarely post pics of new acquisitions anymore, but I'm pretty excited about this one. It was manufactured in 1940. The craftsmanship that went into this .22 caliber revolver is all but lost now. More info here. Enjoy.

I finally acquired one of my "holy grail" guns last night. It's a 1911 built by J.E.Clark in his heyday just the way I would have ordered it, except perhaps without the extended slide stop. The best part? It has had less than a hundred rounds through it since he shipped it in 1981...

Last night, I was reading in John Henwood's M&P book about the widespread demilling of Victory Models after WWII, and their subsequent sale as scrap. I suddenly found myself wanting at east one of these desecrated revolvers it own as a conversation piece and display as an example of good...

Fuff, (and anyone else who wishes to respond.......) This is the rear sight on my newly acquired 1968 S&W Model 34-1. It fits well, and I spotted another 34-1 with an identical rear sight on Gun Broker. Still, the vertical serrations are so unlike any other S&W rear sight that I have to ask if...

This is most distressing. Can anyone confirm or deny these allegations? Any hard news? It really begs the question..... If these gun owners did not register their 50 BMG rifles and "assault rifles", then how the heck does Los Angeles know who to serve a search warrant on? It's enough to...

I never really thought about this until today......After church today, family and I went to a restaurant to eat. We went to a restaurant that serves alcohol during the week. I carry anywhere it is legal to do so. Louisiana forbids CCW on any portion of the permitted area of an establishment...
