I've got a Mtn. Gun in 45 Colt too and love it. I gave up reloading a few years ago but it is time to start again or win a lottery.

I don't disagree with a thing you have said. My comment suggesting the B-27 was intended to establish a starting point for the OP. I did not suggest that it was a true test of accuracy or skill. I can tell you that as an LE and civilian instructor I have used the B-27 to establish a baseline...

Your opinion is noted, but it is just that, an opinion. The B-27 may not be new but it still works and is used by many training instructors. 30+ years as an instructor has taught me that you don't disregard something just because it isn't new. It should not be the only thing that is taught...

I have a S&W 45 Colt Mtn Gun that will always be one of my favorites. Built like a tank, locks up tight and shoots well. Can be carried concealed with the right grips and holster and is very intimidating if it needs to be.

Next time you go to the range get a couple of silhouette type targets called B-27. If you can keep all your shots in the 10 ring (center of mass) from whatever distance you shoot, you are doing well. Don't worry about tiny groups, just consistent clusters.

I have never had a bad revolver from a good company. Some may have but not me especially the big bore guns. There is nothing more comforting that a double action .44 or .45 and for me the shorter the barrel the better. I love S&W N frame guns. Oh yea, I forgot, I love single action big...

1967. S&W Mdl. 18 Combat Masterpiece .22 (4" bbl) blue. Paid $72.50 + tax. Still have it.

A good basic cleaning is always a good thing to do. A little oil never hurts but don't over do it.

Great guns, I have several Blackhawks, including convertibles, and I will never be without one. I have one 7 1/2" and everything else is 4 5/8". Never liked the in-between sizes. Didn't really improve the sight radius all that much, a little harder to carry and just didn't fit my idea of a...

I have packed a Ruger SBH with the 4 5/8" bbl. for years and never felt it was too short, however I think I would buy the 5 1/2" version and shoot the heaviest loads all day. My other favorite is a S&W Mdl. 29 with a 4" bbl. May not be the best with the heaviest loads but it is a great gun with...

I have carried a S&W Mdl. 13 for years (3"-.357) but in the last few years my choice has changed to either a S&W .44mag Mtn. Gun or a S&W .45 Colt Mtn Gun. I too have arthritis in my hands and I have found a comfortable solution, S&W grips called the TAMER. I think they are made by Hogue for...

Ruger by a couple

I do not apologize for carrying and liking revolvers. The argument for or against revolvers vs. semi-autos usually comes down to capacity. I practice with my revolvers. I hit what I aim at. Capacity is not an issue. If the Zombie hordes materialize perhaps I will change my mind, or better...

Two reasons to keep your Mdl. 29: 1. The .44 is more versatile especially if you don't reload. The ability to shoot 44 special is a big plus and a lot of fun. To do the same with the .41 you must be a reloader because there are no factory .41 specials. 2. Dirty Harry would not be happy...

Over the years I have had a Mdl. 29 in 4", 6", 6 1/2" in blue, a 4" in bright chrome, and a 629 Mtn Gun. The only ones remaining are the 4" blue gun and the Mtn Gun. Both guns have been used but not abused. I don't shoot full power loads most of the time but rather good 44 specials. A lot...

Who cares!! You should be proficient in as many platforms/gun systems as you can, especially if you have different types around the house. Because you and your wife like both semi's and revolvers, learn to use them all well, then pick the one you like and shoot the best as your primary and she...

Do you mean mouse because of size or caliber? I do not feel inadequate because my pocket gun is not a mouse gun. My normal holster gun is usually a Glock 19 and my pocket gun is a S&W 442. Neither is a mouse. My wife carries an eight shot S&W 317 in .22. Yes, by all standards it is a mouse...

I have a .45 Colt carbine with the 16" barrel and I love it. Pricey, yes but fun to shoot and I am pleased with the quality.

I've had a 77/22 since they first came out. At the time, the gun shop owner said I was crazy to spend $325 for a .22. That was then, today I have been offered twice as much, but I will never sell it. My version has factory iron sights and is very accurate. Great rifle.

I have two Scouts, one RH, one LH. One cost $990 and one cost $775. The lower priced one was purchased recently after the craziness wore off. I think it is a great rifle for lots of things; hunting, personal protection, fun shooting or whatever else you can think of. It is a good general...
