Just to chime in a bit late: I have a 6" 622 and still get regular offers from friends that want to buy it. I bought it somewhere back in 89 or 90 and it's not going anywhere. It will never win a beauty contest, but it always hits where it is aimed. Glasslike trigger, low barrel profile for...

Most feed issues come from the magazine well and magazine. If that magazine has ever been gripped while firing, the magazine is almost certainly misaligned/warped. If it was pulled or gripped with effort, the well may be warped. It's in the manual to never do that. Most people did it anyway...

Personally, I wouldn't pay more than $100-$150 for a Bubba'd 870, no matter the condition. As an earlier poster has already said, it's going to take a lot of sweat equity to fix. Pawn shops can yield some great deals on used 870s. Keep in mind that 10 million+ have already been made, not...

I've personally seen multiple factory squibs obstruct a barrel. 3 consecutive rounds of Federal .38 Special SJHP, 125 grain. There were in the barrel of a Charter Arms Undercover. 20 years ago, I was shooting with my brother in law and his father. His father was shooting rapid fire...

I left Florida when Jeb was elected. GD carpet bagger. You can leave any time that you like.

Much of Honduras, as well. Know or pay the local cop a few lemps? (or even better, US dollars.) You are good. The local cops often don't even have cars. The PD often doesn't have cars. Or phones. Yeah, it's not a wonder why the mainland is a scourge of crime. The islands are pretty good...

As a young and dumb teenager, I once worked my way through US TM 31-210. Improvised Munitions. I learned that strike anywhere matches can provide both primer materiel, and propellant. A chopped down bicycle spoke works very well at flattening and recycling old primers. Also, that a simple...

Horrible stance and grip. Technically, she should never be able to hit the side of a barn. From the inside. With a .357 or a .380, she can drill the center X. I don't understand it, or even criticize her hold any more. She nails it, always. I don't judge the methods, just the results...

S&W 66-1 .357 K-frame, square butt, target sights. Minty. $250. Yes, I am a miracle worker. I do very well when buying new or used cars, too.

I just wish that I could find a gun show, any sort, less than an hour's drive away. Living in the country is nice, but there are drawbacks. I would gladly put up with beef jerky and nazi memorabilia jerks just to have a show closer. Some of my best buys were at shows. A mint S&W 622 at a...

The same thing was tried back when the latest buzzword was "Saturday night special." By going after affordable pistols, the discrimination is going to hurt the poorest segment of society. Those that cannot afford a BBQ 1911 but have enough sense to want to protect their family.

Referring to the odd hate of DA/SA: It's been around since the Colt M1877 revolver, the "Lightning", the "Thunderer", and the "Rainmaker." No safety or decocker, though. Designed by William Mason at Colt's Manufacturing Company.

Absolutely beautiful. I don't think I've seen a melt done so well.

25+ years ago, while working summers on a friend's farm throughout junior and senior high school, I used an old Bearcat that had fired thousands upon thousands of mixed shorts, Flobert CB/BB caps, and the old Winchester crimped rat shot rounds. The barrel was essentially a smooth bore from...

I've got a early Dawson 101 that I paid the unthinkable sum of $125 for it, 20 years ago. Seamlessly hand-fitted, flawlessly finished, tough as a crowbar, always razor sharp and easy to maintain the edge. He still makes them the same way, but they range from $400 and up, now. Sound...

Bought mine in 1988 or 1989. 30,000+ rounds through it. At 15,000 the double action return spring broke. I sent the pistol to Taurus, they replaced all of the internal springs and returned it within about 2 weeks. The spring broke again at around 30,000 and I ordered a spring kit from...

That 1911 is something crazy. I like it. I had the opportunity to fire a Beretta 93R, with the stock attached. It was extremely controllable with the 3 round burst. It very easily sends a lot of lead downrange, accurately at 25 yards.

I have a PT92 with more than 30,000 rounds through it. My only experience with their CS was just fine. I once had a Taurus 66 .357 and regret selling it. I cannot comment on newer models they have produced. That's not a myth. Smith & Wesson had been purchased by a conglomerate named Bangor...

Smith & Wesson makes 12 round magazines for the 41, 2206, 422, 622. The PMR-30 uses a true side-by-side, double stacked magazine akin to modern rifle magazines, rather than the usual tapered centerfire pistol magazines. If it can be done with .22WMR, it could be done with .22LR, but apparently...

I have one that I bought in the late 80s for $250 NIB. Surprisingly accurate and very sturdily made, if a bit rough around the edges. I have seen the later DC-9 versions that had even much poorer machining, and that is saying something. It has a very fragile firing pin, if you dry fire it...
