    10mm Goodness

    I was finally in a good position to grab the 10mm I've been lusting after for quite some time. Dan Wesson 10mm Bruin. While it stung quite a bit handing over the cash, I've got it and it's mine! Time heals all wounds i've been told. I've had it out to the range twice and it was all smiles...

    CFE Pistol Powder Chrono Results - 9mm & 45acp

    I picked up a jug of Hodgdon CFE Pistol Powder and just returned from the range after putting some over a Chrono. For those interested I'll use this thread to post the results. First off I'd like to say it shoots very predictable as the loads increased and I could definitely tell when I hit the...

    Hawken BP tube

    I read somewhere that people have been known to load BP into a muzzleloader using a tube that gets the powder into the base of the barrel. I've often thought about this because after I wet and then dry swab the barrel I always figured that some of the powder dumped down the barrel would stick to...

    Man oh man... 1851 London Navy

    Wow, I just received this Uberti 1851 London Navy in the mail. This thing is smooth with a very nice trigger. All steel frame, trigger guard and backstrap. No brass on this one. She's got the looks too, LOL. I definitely like brass with a heat treat along side but figured I'd try something to...

    Black Powder Classifieds

    I was just wondering if the idea of a sub-forum to this one was ever considered for selling black powder firearms ? I know of a few other forums sites that do this with great success. I realize that they could just as easily be listed in the handgun classy section but it's always nice to see...

    Colt 100 years of service

    I originally wanted the S&W pro series 1911 then migrated to the Ruger SR1911 then changed my mind and looked at the Remington R1 enhanced model and really thought that was going to be the one. I took a trip to another Gun shop in the area and this Colt 1911 XSE series was there in all it's...

    Traditions Hawken .50 cal

    I just run across a couldn't refuse deal on this pristine Traditions Hawken .50 cal muzzleloader. I've got quite a bit of time and experience with black powder pistols but this is my first muzzleloader rifle. I was always debating between the newer inlines and these replicas of the olden days...

    Marlin 1894 Cowboy 357/38

    Well I couldn't stand it any longer and just had to go pickup a brand new Marlin 1894 Cowboy in 357/38 cal. One thing I did notice is this model doesn't have the hood around the front sight like I've seen on others. It has a fiber optic tube up front. I'll like this better anyhow and will save...

    Cimarron

    Now the wait begins... I just purchased this Uberti / Cimarron 1848 3rd Model Dragoon. It should show up at the door step Monday. I almost went with a Walker this time but this Dragoon just jumped out at me. The Walker will be next on the short list I'm sure. This Dragoon looks to be so...

    Three of a kind, workin' on a full house!

    I just aquired the XD-40 service model in the middle. I can't help it, I just can't say enough good about the XD's. The 1911 grip angle is the high point for me with these. top to bottom / XD45 tactical - XD40 service - XD40 sub compact

    Ruger Old Army Fixed Sights

    I'm looking into purchasing my first Black Powder Revolver. I found a great deal on a Ruger Old Army Stainless but it has fixed sights. My question is if the fixed sights present any type of disadvantage or should I hold out for a model with the adjustable sights ?
