I have wanted a 150 series for some time now. I often see vintage 150 series aftermarket grips on gunbroker. It's pretty often that used and new-old-stock Jay Scott and Herret's are auctioned. I'm pretty sure Herret's can craft a set that will do justice to such a fine revolver. I plan on...

Generally, the 150 prefix frames are the "low back" and 151 plus are the "hump back". Although I have seen one 4" "low back" stainless with a 151 prefix. I wish I could have purchased it because it was such an oddity. From what I can tell, "low back" stainless revolvers are quite rare...

Definitely the Six Series. They carry and handle almost as good as "K" frames and don't have any strength concerns. I voted with my wallet... below are four of my five Six series:

Maybe I need to move to a different part of the country. Here, a pristine 2.75" SS Security Six will bring close to $600 (probably from me). I picked up a blued 6" Security Six LNIB for $250 plus tax in 1990. I still regret letting it go. A couple of years ago I bought a Service Six from...

I’m a long time Six fan and am looking at finally replacing the six inch Security Six that I foolishly traded around a quarter-century ago:banghead:. Currently, I have a blue 2.75” Service Six and a SS 4” Service Six. Both have completely round forcing cones. However, it seems that somewhere...

Both the riot and the heavy duck that I have are take down. However I have handled two lightweight M12's in local shops that I don't believe were take down. If they were take down, the take down system was different from the standard Model 12.

Does the Tavor destroy the brass the way the Galil does? As a reloader, that's a deal-breaker for me. I had a chance to buy back my pre-ban IMI Galil and could not bring myself to do it. Thanks

I usually lurk, but I feel compelled to weigh in on this topic. I am NOT a Taurus fan, but I picked up a .380 TCP a couple of years ago for back-up duty. Make no mistake, you will never confuse it with a Sig P210. However, I really like it for what it is. If you shoot it with a vise-like...

I've got a 2.75" service six that carries just fine in a Bianchi 3S Pistol Pocket for a K-frame. If you don't mind nearly an inch of barrel sticking out of the bottom, a 4" service six works fine also. Currently, a 3" Model 13 is in the holster. I'd avoid kydex holsters unless it's...

All Model 12's that I've seen are takedown EXCEPT for the "lightweight" versions. I've got a 1950's vintage factory riot and a 1939 Heavy Duck that are both takedowns. The longest part of the riot is 20". It can fit into very small, inconspicuous cases that raise no eyebrows. With one of...

Hey KodiakBeer, Where did you get the leather buttstock ammunition carrier? For me, my new stoeger coach gun points naturally and I believe that I could accurately launch two rounds much more quickly than with my beloved model 12 or my M1S90 (assuming starting from a low ready...

I used to own a Galil 5.56 AR that I shot extensively. "Violent" is an understatement when describing ejection. It is not a rifle for reloaders because the spent brass is bent/creased diagonally. My best friend's Galil 5.56 ARM would also destroy brass. The two 7.62 NATO Galil AR's on which...

From my experiance, the fastest way to keep sending rounds downrange is to transition to another firearm. A brace of J-frames has been a popular option for quite some time now. The Safariland speedloaders are the fastest way to reload a single revolver provided the shooter uses only...

Through a 24" 1:11.25 5R barrel, I've had the best results with 155gr AMAX's atop a moderately healthy charge of IMR 4895. Strangely, my SR-25 performs poorly with Federal GMM, but handloads of either Nosler 168gr BTHPM or 168gr Sierra MatchKings tie for a distant second. the 167gr Lapua...

It does not bother me at all. The model 12 is still my favorite shotgun. The two Stevens 620's I own are also the same way -- but both Stevens combined cost less than the model 12, and it shows in fit and finish and smoothness of operation. The model 12 is the Mercedes of pumps while the...

Bushmaster1313’s pictures illustrate my point about the magazine’s position broken down versus assembled. It appears that the above M12 is about 20”. Note how compact the M12 is broken down – you can fit a whole lot of love in a rather small package. My M12 printed most any brand of slugs...

I’ve got a factory 20” from the 50’s that is my favorite pump gun. It just fits me better than any long arm I’ve ever owned or been issued, plus it has a flawless action. Extended mag tube would require fabricating a new one (not easy). If your brother has removed the hunting plug from the...

I'm rather shocked to see this threa resurface. It's nice to see there are others who appreciate these nice revolvers. One of these days, the general firearms population will discover that these are underpriced and will drive the admission fee beyond what we mere mortals are willing to pay...

Bushmaster 1313, I've been wanting a 520 and/or 620 for quite some time now. While on the hunt for one, I gave a sweet model 12 refugee from NJ a good home ;) Since model 12's are so much more common, I was able to visit local shops to compare. Of the six model 12's I fondled, only one was...

About 10 years ago, I saw the best name for a salt-water fishing boat in a marina in Orange Beach: "A-SALT WEAPON". :D
