It would be an interesting gun, to say the least. Problem is, IMO, Colt is pretty much the Apple Computer of the firearms world. They aren't just selling firearms, they're selling an image and a 170-year history as well. People have exaggerated views about how good a Colt is supposed to be...

I couldn't see Colt doing much business with "competitively priced" DA revolvers. If they ever entered the market again (doubtful), they'd probably have the most luck going with high-margin handfitted custom guns.

I wonder if the Python ultimately hurt Colt in the end. The real comparison to the M19/Six/GP/586 would have been the Trooper revolvers. But by releasing what was essentially a high-dollar hand-fitted target revolver, they seemed to have set a bar they couldn't reach later (i.e., the Anaconda...

I've had one of the Romanian models for about 2 years now. As a cheap paper puncher it's fun (probably less so once my supply of Romanian 7.62x25 runs out). It's certainly not the most reliable nor mechanically sound pistol I own (I had to JB Weld the retaining pin for the firing pin assembly in...

Today was a S&W 642. I'd send pics but my cell phone camera's screwy and it looks just like the one on Wikipedia anyways.

Blowing up an AK? I'm guessing out-of-battery firing from one that got the "bread-tie" treatment.

Boxer and Berdan are two different, functionally equivalent types of case primers for ammunition. A Berdan primer is a brass cup designed to fit on an anvil fixed into the case. It's marginally cheaper than a Boxer primer (not really relevant until the millions-of-rounds phase of...

Yesterday I got myself a vz. 24 I saw for cheap in a local pawn shop.

I wish they'd kept the white box. I've still got about 15 boxes of Tula 9mm from a while ago. Just out of curiosity, now that Tula and Ulyanovsk are selling ammo under their own brand names, what does that mean for Wolf?

The Ruger P95 has a nice heavy slide and a linkless cam that is supposed to make the recoil more of a push than a snap. It's still fairly light in weight overall as well.
