I'm eyeing a Charter Pathfinder snub in .22 lr. Haven't looked at them for a while, and noticed that they are now 8 vs 6 shots. Just wondering if anyone has one and if so, how have your experiences been with it? Specifically, I'm looking to see if it has light primer strikes, shaves lead...

I picked up this Barkeep with the intention of adding the .22 magnum cylinder and a birdshead grip. They'll probably offer it in this configuration eventually (if they don't already), but I didn't feel like waiting, and the accessories aren't expensive. I've tried it with the original grip...

I bought this little 12 gauge from GB "just because". It is an "SS12" by Fedarms and imported from Turkey. The seller had a ton of these things, and they were going for not much money. I threw out a bid on one and got it. This gun is LIGHT. It supposedly weighs just over 5 pounds, but feels...

Hello all I've got the itch to get a side by side coach gun with exposed hammers. I've been looking at the Century model and am looking for opinions from anyone with recent experience/ownership of one. I'm just wanting one for fun and it won't be getting a lot of rounds put through it. (I'm a...

Hello all Just picked this gun up from LGS. I know very little about Model 12s, but thought is was a cool gun, and so I did a little research before buying. This one was a Tacoma, PD gun and dates to 1959. There were two on the rack, but this one was in far better condition. The forend is...

Here's something I picked up at the LGS. A Rossi, M88-2 from their old Interarms days. This one is in awesome shape and looks almost brand new. I've never owned a Rossi before, but have read that the M88s were fairly well liked by their owners. The gun is nice and tight, and has a decent...

Hi All Picked up this little Police Positive today. The finish looked splotchy, but a good cleaning and some light flitzing made it look great. The action was gummy, but a soak in Kroil helped a lot. The gun supposedly dates to 1929 and has the original grips. Surprisingly, they have no...

I was at home when an email showed up from Classic Firearms saying that they had Manurhin MR73s in stock. I dont't know much about these revolvers other than they have a reputation as strong and accurate guns. I also know that they usually sell out quickly, so I ordered right after getting...

I found this nice P90 in the used gun case at my LGS for $239, so it came home with me. I've never owned a Ruger P-series pistol, and know that they were discontinued a while back, so I thought it would make a good addition to the collection. This gun is in very good shape. The insides...

Hello all I'm mainly a S&W revolver guy, but do own a few colts. Anyway, I grabbed this at my LGS today. Apparently, a Colt collector had a severe stroke and his family was liquidating his collection. From what I can gather, this was one of 250 made for a special order back in the early...

I ordered one of the Hi Power MkIIs from AIM Surplus, and it came in today. Pistol was actually nicer that I expected, and cleaned up just fine. I have to say, it was one of the dirtiest guns I've ever cleaned, but no big deal, because I was gonna clean it anyway. Purchased a brand new...

Found this little Russian commercial model (Baikal) Makarov at the LGS and couldn't turn it down. Pistol has original box, plus holster, cleaning rod, lanyard, takedown tool, extra mag, and paperwork. Best of all, it appears to never have been fired. :) This will go nicely with my other 8...

I ran across a Taurus 431 .44spl today at the LGS. Gun looked almost new. Had a 2.5" barrel, and a high polish stainless finish. Also had round butt with original wood grips. The lockup wasn't "bank vault" tight and had a little side to side play, but seemed okay, and truthfully wasn't...

Just recently picked up this German-made P220. I've never owned a Sig, and no very little about them, but found this one locally for 500 bucks and grabbed it. The gun was made in 1995 and is in excellent shape. I took it to the range and it ran very well. A very nice shooter. Since I bought...

The other day, I lucked out and came across an old Charter Arms Bulldog at the LGS. This is a Stratford, CT gun and is from maybe the late 80s or early 90s. It looked pretty good and I got it for a great price as part of a package deal. There was only a couple small rust spots on the barrel...

I'm looking at getting an Astra 960 revolver in .38spl. Does anyone have an Astra revolver of any kind? I want a 960, but also see NC-6 and Cadix .38s for sale. I looked up the "Terminator" .44 Mag snubbies, but those seem to be cult classics these days. I have seen that astra threads are...

I ran across one of these today. Gun was a stainless 4" six shot revolver with what looked like factory Pachmayr presentation grips. Grips had a weird way of mounting to the gun with a single screw in the rear bottom of the grip frame. Gun was chambered in .357. Thought it was .357...

Went to the LGS today, and saw this old rifle in the used gun rack. I've never owned or even shot a lever gun, but remember hearing that the pre-1964 guns are preferred to the newer ones. I checked the serial number and it dates the gun to 1955. The gun obviously has a bunch of wear, so I...

Picked up my Security Six today. It had some ugly, non-original wood stocks on it, so I was waiting for some to show up from gun broker. Grips for these "humpback" models (150-series) are HARD to find. I ended up getting some NOS Jay Scott laminate ones. The gun was in good shape with the...

This week, I found a blued Ruger Security Six 4" at the LGS. It had holster wear at the muzzle and cylinder, but mechanically was fine. It actually looked a lot worse than it was. The gun also sported some old school Jay Scott imitation mother of pearl (I've heard them referred to as "mother of...
