    Ruger & Strum 10mm revolver?

    Here is my Buckeye 38-40 /10MM Convertible. This is by far the nicest Ruger Single Action that I have: The revolver has only been shot once by me. I had to try out both cylinders. The 38-40 is not a round to trifle with or dismiss wantonly. It's a hard charger out of a 6 inch...

    What is up with the Cerakoting trend?

    Cera-koting allows for a very tough, durable finish to be had over what is often a cheap, non-lasting factory finish. Durakote started the trend, but their finish is soft, never really lasting a long time. Cerakote holds up 1000% better. You now have some manufacturers like Kel-Tec even going to...

    Would you rather have 15 round of 9mm, or 8 rounds of 45 in your carry gun

    I'll carry the 9MM as I'd rather have the extra ammunition than be wishing for it.

    FFL fees and other taxes question

    Quite simple. Let the FFL know that you are not happy with that policy and that policy will kill future purchases and drive off business. 50 bucks for a transfer? Not so bad. There really IS a cost to having a storefront, employees, insurance, storage (that paperwork has to stay for 20 years...

    Pawn Shop Colt 1917 Army

    To the OP: It looks like a Colt Detective Special finally finished puberty and started a rigorous workout regimen. Congrats!!!

    I'm Giving Up On 1911s

    I have 4 1911s right now and I don't carry any of them. I take them out to the range every now and then if I want to experience them. Here's why I don't carry them: 1. Too heavy for the limited capacity of 8 or even 10 rounds. 2. Too finicky. Yes, they are too finicky for me to depend on...

    What's Your Favorite J Frame??

    I've owned a number of "J" Frame revolvers over the years: 442, 642, Model 60 Ladysmith, 940, and a 640-1 chambered for .357 Magnum / .38 SPL and it's a "Pre-Lock". I love the gun for the simple reason of it's shootability and versatility. I mainly carry it as a Back Up Gun these days as for...

    new colt double action pistols?

    Thing is, as revolver buffs, we have to face one crucial fact. Revolver sales are declining. I own a small shop here in Northern VA. Was told by a distributor that S&W won't start ramping up production of their revolvers other than the 642 or 442 in part because they cannot keep up with polymer...

    Have you switched to become a revolver guy?

    Nothing wrong with the wheelguns, I carry one as a BUG. As a main gun? No. If I carried my 686 with 6 rounds of .357, I'd be ok, but for a more compact package with higher capacity, I'll take my Glock 19.

    best pro gun books?

    John Wesley Rawles series: Patriots is pretty good. Basically the premise is that Ron Paul was right and it goes into surviving in America post "Crunch". VERY pro-gun.

    Worst Revolver You Ever Bought ?

    Now it's been a few years since I've talked about specifics with these revolvers, so the details are a tad fuzzy. Taurus 905 9MM Revolver. Shavings in the action caused binding. Cracked open the sideplate and blew out with compressed air / picked out with tweezers, sent back to factory. Came...

    1911 vs Revolver

    What I think is funny are those that say the 1911 is more modern. The .357 round came out in 1935. The 1911, in 1911. Keep that in mind.

    Walther PPQ ► Original/M1/Classic

    I'd like to see ONE magazine that fits the PPQ M1 and M2 and not this garbage of different magazines for the different guns. This is why I have not purchased a PPQ.

    Glock 30 and 36 impressions

    I have a Glock 30. 10 rounds or 13+1 rounds if you use the Glock 21 magazines in a package that small is a very nice handgun. I'd suggest looking at the Glock 30SF or the new Gen 4 models coming out. Both will have slightly smaller grips than the plain G30. Sometimes, those extra milimeters make...

    Reproducing old Handguns legality issues - mauser c96 -colt 1903 - colt 1903 pistol

    USFA did it just fine with copies of the older Colt Single Actions and they were doing it cheaply. Problem was the trust fund baby that started it all got bored with it and shut everything down. It IS possible to do, you just have to find a good backer, and have a smart business plan.

    Wish there was H&K USP 10mm!

    I have seen a prototype H&K 1911 in 10MM. When fired, crime in 5 states came to a sudden grinding halt with the sheer awesomeness found in that combo. Unfortunately, making them tends to burn through skilled labor as they cannot handle the strain either. Only 4 are known to exist and no 2 can...

    Is my US property 1917 S&W 45 junk?

    They survived WWI, and a good chunk of them went to WWII as well. They also seem to have served the Brazilians well enough too. Fragile? These revolvers aren't that at all.

    NAA Guardian 32 ACP opinions?

    I have both the NAA Guardian in .32 ACP and the Kel-Tec P32. The Guardian, while all steel and DAO is a blowback gun and thus has more recoil, whereas the P32 has the typical Browning action seen on 90% of other guns and let me tell you, that little P32 has about half the recoil of the NAA and...
