    Taurus Model 608 .357 question about speed loaders

    5 Star Firearms makes very nice aluminum speed-loaders for an exceptionally reasonable price. I recall that they make 8-round loaders for the S&W 327/627 models (which I have several of) and they had one for the Taurus 608 as well. Here's their web address www.5StarFirearms.com.

    S&W Victory model .38 Special

    A beautiful classic! I think it's great how you've got that Victory still serving faithfully despite the age! Great pics!

    Help identifying this revolver

    Wow, that looks like a S&W Model No. 3 Russian manufactured for the Czar during the late 19th century through turn of the century. I can't really tell much else from the pics, but if I recall correctly the finger spur off the trigger guard makes it a cavalry model, likely with a lanyard...

    .357 Magnum Ammunition Questions?

    When I was a young and inexperienced shooter, I used to think shooting was all about the tech of the gun; what was new and what was cutting edge in terms of the design and the materials. Then I learned more and was schooled in concentrating on technique, breathing, and trigger control, ie...

    Grip & Handling Observation w/ .38 & .357

    Group sizes were about the same. Just the POI was different. I have a S&W with adjustable sights. I rarely have had to do much with the sights, but I think I understand now that the ammo makes a big difference in where I am hitting.

    Grip & Handling Observation w/ .38 & .357

    I recently made an observation while practicing switching back and forth between .38 special and then .357 with my revolver. It seems counter-intuitive, but I found that I was steadier and more accurate with the .357 ammo (158 grain range reloads) than I was with the .38 special loads (125...

    1897 or 1887 reproduction

    I've got the '87 and it works beautifully. I love the loading from the top, and as a lefty, it helps out a great deal. The cycling of the lever action is crisp and solid, there's no need to baby it, and in fact you oughtn't be too gentle with it as it needs a firm and forceful hand to work the...

    Ways To Shoot Bolt Rifles When Left Eye Dominant?

    I've been exploring the possibility of getting a bolt action rifle but I run into a problem, specifically that I am a left-eye dominant shooter and I normally shoot gas operated rifles with my left hand. Now I know that some folks with the same problem just fire bolt actions with the left hand...

    high capcity battle style deer rifle

    Have you considered one of these? http://www.kel-tec-cnc.com/rfb.htm The RFB has gotten pretty good reviews and it takes FN magazines. It's .308 and the weight and length advantages could match what you are looking for. Photos taken from Oleg Volk's Gallery

    Kel-Tec SU16 vs Saiga 223

    My mags are old USGI mags, and while I keep thinking I am going to get around to replacing the followers and springs, I still haven't. That being said, I have had almost no FTF from them, barring one mag that has just recently sadly hit its last legs. They slam in fine, and fit like they are...

    Kel-Tec SU16 vs Saiga 223

    Oh? Do you have any actual proof of problems or firsthand experience with the SU-16? Or is this just another case of FUD based on second-hand knowledge and rumors? *rolls eyes" The OP asked which we prefer and why. I gave my opinion and points of support that reference traits of the rifle...

    Kel-Tec SU16 vs Saiga 223

    Strengths of the SU-16 for me, being in California, are that the SU-16 is CA legal without requiring a bullet button, tends to be overlooked as less "evil" in its stock configuration, and is fairly easy to clean and maintain for those used to the AR/M-16 family. The light weight, easy storage...

    Lanyards- Still Around?

    This may seem like a strange question, but I was curious if S&W or any third-party manufacturer makes lanyard rings/lanyards for S&W revolvers, specifically for N-frame revolvers such as the 627 and 327? Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this? Barring traditional lanyard rings, anyone...

    S&W Model 327 M&P R8 and other S&W revolvers

    I have the 327TRR8 which is basically the same as the M&P except it has removable rails. I will say this, it takes quite some getting used to firing magnum out of a scandium frame. I'm finding I have to relearn how to shoot effectively and with tighter control than I did with a heavier weight...

    Sou-Cal here. I won't move and I will stand my ground here. I'll not give up on the Bear Flag Republic.

    Researching the 38 Super

    I'm not generally one to dive into firearms purchases without homework for a good length of time, partially to avoid impulsive buying, and also so I can be as well informed as possible before committing to something as expensive as a firearm. Well, I've become intrigued lately with the 38...

    Response from Budsgunshop.com

    You know, it's funny this came up as a necropost. The timing couldn't be better. Just this last week, I sent a customer complaint/feedback to Buds about a new policy they had put in, and while I didn't necessarily expect a response, I wanted them to know I was unhappy. Less than 36 hours...
