    Field holster for 5" 629 Classic

    My personal experience sitting with a 5” OWB holster and revolver - I am able to do so, realistically and comfortably. Not that it matters, but I’m not unusually tall at just a shade under 6 feet in height. In and out of cars, office chairs, living room seating - just not an issue. Same...

    Who needs 357 Dainty?

    Love some Georgia Arms ammo!

    I shot my 624 and my first had loads of 38 special

    Nice all-around!

    Field holster for 5" 629 Classic

    Have a look for a Galco Phoenix holster (if not going the total-custom route, which is what I’d almost always recommend otherwise myself), specifically their PHX124 model. This one turned up recently on another forum - what caught my attention was that it was sized for the not-oft-encountered...

    Missed One (and it’s probably for the best…probably haha) S&W 38-44 Content Inside

    LGS posted this gem online along with some others that had recently wandered into the shop. Looked intriguing to me with the fabled one-line “address” on the frame, the “stepped” tapered barrel (I don’t know what the official term is for that older-school approach S&W was taking in the 1930s or...

    Ordered my first Barranti holster

    Indeed, I love the 2x2x2 approach!

    Ordered my first Barranti holster

    Placed the order a little earlier today: Barranti Hank Sloan for a 3.5-inch N-frame, saddle tan, lined, with belt-loop cutout. Looking very, very forward to this one!

    Who needs 357 Dainty?

    LOL well I just invoked the image of the late Skeeter Skelton on your post on another forum on this topic. I won’t do it again, but it made me smile to see the topic posted here, too! :)

    Thoughts on a Modern S&W model 17

    I was able to grab a ‘48-vintage K22 not too long ago, wanting it both for nostalgia reasons and to serve as both a fun and precise plinker and to aid me as these days most of what I shoot are double-action revolvers. As such, it gets shot quite a lot. It came with the correct (s/n’d) Magna...

    New to Me Ruger Speed Six

    Congratulations! An uncle of mine has owned a Security Six since the ‘80s that he was recently considering trading-in for something newer-fangled. I advised him to hang onto it and just buy something else outright if at all possible.

    The Gun and Knife Picture Show

    This was one of my favorite combos, at least as far as knife / gun pairings go: Les Baer UTC 1911 and a fixed-blade from Shellback Knives.

    Major virtue of a revolver

    Having been a confirmed “1911 Guy” for several years running, I didn’t expect to take the strong revolver “turn” that I have more recently. Many of the reasons stated above apply to my personal experience, to be sure. Make no mistake, I do love a good 1911 still. I just don’t own one as of...

    Modified Smith & Wesson Target Grips

    Nicely-done! I really like the look of those!

    Ordered my first Barranti holster

    LOL, hey, are you paging me? I’m telling you, you are the one who will finally inspire me to order at least one Hank Sloan if not two…in the meantime, I’m happy to oblige with what Barranti eye-candy that I can offer haha… Man, that five-inch Summer Classic was so clean and fresh in the...

    Model 27 S&W

    @shoebox1.1 thank you and back at you! In support of reflections on carrying these mighty Magnums, here are a few gunleather shots. I’m a fan of Barranti Leather and their IWB Summer Classics for beasts like these. Though well-versed in the ways of IWB for guns like 1911s, I was skeptical of...

    Model 27 S&W

    I have one each in 5” (a 27-2) and 3-1/2” (a “pre-27”) and really can’t pick a favorite between the two. Just had them both to the range - they are shot (and carried) regularly.

    Becoming revolver fan in new age of semi-autos

    While I remain a huge 1911 fan who also likes Glocks and some “classic” SIGs, sometime back I found myself shooting DA revolvers better than anything else. I’m not saying I’ll never buy another semi-auto, but I’m sticking with revolvers now.
