    Who makes the prettiest .357 lever action?

    While they don't make it in .357mag, Uberti makes a great looking 1860 Henry clone. For showing off, it looks very nice, although for shooting not necessarily the most practical lever rifle (although I'm sure they would be fun as all get out). They are hard to find though, but show up on...

    Lever-action .357

    I bought my short rifle 92 just this past February, ordered from www.rrarms.com. They still list 33 in stock in .357mag. My carbine I had my LGS order from Sports South, but their web site says they only have .44mag carbines in stock now. I've been thinking of adding an 1873, but those...

    Lever-action .357

    I have a pair of current production Miroku Winchester 1892's, both in .357mag - 20" carbine and short rifle. Love 'em both and they are just a hoot to take out to the range. The QC on the winchesters is very good too from what I saw when looking around and deciding what I wanted. Fit and...

    Short/Light .357 Mag Carbine?

    Uberti and a few others offer modern copies of the Colt lightening pump action in .357mag but I don't know off hand any specs in terms of barrell length, OAL or weight. Winchester as well as the Italian imports offer model 92s in "trapper" length 16" barrell's, as well as the more common 20"...

    revolver for a lifetime

    Either of these would do (or the 4" Service Sixes kid brother, my 3" Service Six).

    Colt Python save it or shoot it.

    I'd shoot it. I know a number of folks with very large handgun collections, and not a single one of them got rich by buying and selling firearms. Where's the joy in just having it sit around?

    327 Federal question

    Rugers documentation for their SP101, GP100 and Blackhawk all say the .327 federal magnum is fine to use with 32 H&R Mag. and .32 S&W Long. There is no mention of .32 acp. I think if you search here or some other gun forums, there are posts of people shooting .32acp in .327 revolveres, but I...

    Best 1911

    I voted Colt, as my two have been flawless. Then again, the only other 1911's I've owned are a Taurus PT1911 and a S&W, neither of which ever gave me any problems either. The poll is kind of pointless unless those responding have owned at least several models from each of those...

    Autos without slide stops?

    SIG P232 has a slide stop but no external slide release.

    Ruger Service Six and GP 100 question

    ^^^ ?? Not sure about the dynamics of that. It's certainly possible to swap the .38spl and .357 cylinders on a gun stamped as originally chambered in one or the other. The barrel bore would would be a bit off for the 9mm, but then it is on the 9mm/.357 conversion guns like the Blackhawk, so...

    Ruger Service Six and GP 100 question

    All of the S. six series and the GP100 series guns are all the same, regardless of caliber (9mm, .38spl or. 357). The only significant difference is how the chambers were bored. Same frames, materials, even the cylinder blanks are the same, just bored out differently. All you have to do is...

    my wife loves the service six

    If you ever tire of it, send it to me and I'll be sure to give it a good home with some company!

    MIM parts in Springfield emp.

    Most MIM parts will be things that are otherwise typically made from cast steel, or stamped or machined bar stock steel, not forged.

    Durabilty CZ75b with +p

    Most any modern manufactured pistol will handle +p, although most manufacturers will also warn against +p+ since there is no standard by which to know what a +p+ loading acutally is. But it will always be the case that the hotter the load, the more stress and hence wear your firearm will...

    Hearing Damage: .40 S&W vs .44 Special?

    I'm saying that if you look at measured sound levels (as available from hearing health sites on the web, for example) of any center fire cartridge, they are all above the limits of what the doctors/experts say is sufficient to cause instant and permanent hearing loss or damage. Once you are...

    Hearing Damage: .40 S&W vs .44 Special?

    Arguing about which center fire handgun round is going to be "safer" from a potential hearing damage/loss fear is a bit like arguing which boiling water will scald you worse - that from an electric stove or that from a gas stove. Bottom line is scalded is scalded, and every single handgun round...

    Browning High Power - As good as it looks?

    Hmm, a design that has been around since the early 1930's, seen military and police service in 50-60+ countries, and likely more conflicts then even the beloved 1911, and is still in use by many military and police forces around the world? Yes, I would say you can expect it to be a decent...

    Experience with "Gun Buying Club"?

    Looking at their web site, I'm not sure I see the advantage. By the time you add in the membership fee, shipping, and FFL transfer fee, I'd probably do just as well buying local in person (although I did not look at their entire offered inventory). E.g. They want $775.29 (plus membership...

    Chiappa Rhino Where can I buy it?

    The only store I've ever seen one in is in Virginia (Dominion Outdoors, in Fishersville, but they do ship - still listed on their web site) http://www.gunsinternational.com/MKS-CHIAPA-RHINO-357-MAGNUM.cfm?gun_id=100150238

    PT1911, Sig P250, or CZ 97b?

    Have you shot any of these yet? The thing that cought my attention of the three you've listed is that they all differ significantly in the size of the grip. I like the CZ 97 (I have a P-01), but it was way to big for my paws. Similarly, the SIG P220 I found a bit too thick in the grip for my...
