    Why Aren't There Any .490 Revolvers?

    Hello. Wouldn't that be great? Using the same balls for a revolver like the Remington 1858 and a rifle... A .45 rifle can shoot .454 round balls (in a pinch), I would assume people would want a .490 revolver. Is this a legal issue? Not enough interest? Has it been done maybe? Gil.

    "Lost series, revolver"

    Lost, episode 16, the character "sawyer" has a revolver he uses to exact revenge on who he thinks is the man who killed his mother. In a particular scene I noticed the revolver cylinder swings out the right side of the pistol. My question: is this a prop gun? Or is there a model of revolver that...

    Pietta 1851 Navy Revolving Rifle

    Howdy y'all. I've stumbled across a brass frame pietta 1851 that has a 25 inch barrel on it. I've tried researching it and can't find any information on it. This photo was obtained from a website in the UK. I haven't seen any examples of this model in the USA and nobody I have asked has...

    Which is more general: "Handgun" or "Pistol"?

    "Revolver" is easy in general use - calls to mind (for most) an image of a type of firearm that is easily agreed upon. John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Dirty Harry. I've heard/seen "handgun" and "pistol" used both interchangeably and in different ways, depending on comparison and conversation...

    Why I Think Open Carry Isn't Wiser than Concealed Carry (In Most Instances/For Most People)

    Preface: This is me sharing my personal opinion from my own understanding. And this is primarily with self-defense (against humans) in mind. Also with carrying wherever you can legally do so. This includes in public, running errands, work, etc. **Not** for example, in your own home, on some...

    Henry Big boy revolver in hand, Birdshead model, a basic subjective and opinionated review.

    *I was going to post this in the other thread, but as the post got longer and more detailed I thought it deserved its own thread. I received my Henry Big Boy Revolver Birdshead model today. Here are the basics; The DA trigger is heavy, but not gritty. It feels like an average amount of travel...

    Gen 2 Colt Python Experience Thus Far

    Happy Friday all! I am making this post to reach out to other owners of new gen Colt Python revolvers, I have had mine for roughly a month now and have taken it on a couple trips to the range. Honestly I couldn't be happier with the revolver, it looks great, feels well machined as it can get...

    Full Cylinder Carry On Certain Models

    Two questions about two different guns. Both questions asked to me by different friends. 1. Is it safe to carry a new S&W Model 27 classic with a full cylinder? I've done so for years, just assuming it must have a passive safety built in, but I couldn't actually find information on S&W's...

    Help with revolver sights

    Hello all, I recently bought a Taurus Tracker (.44/2.5 inch), and I am trying to replace the front sight with a better one. The sights on this gun are unlike my other pinned sight revolvers, and more in line with a dovetail semiauto slide sight. Does anyone know the measurements of this factory...

    Is it worth reloading 357 magnum?

    My dad is pretty stoked now that he has a red dot on his 357 mag and wants to take it deer hunting (he’s got the skills, no worries about a clean shot there) So I already make him .38spcl for plinking which drill 8” plates at 50 yards just using a turret press and knocking out plinker rounds...

    Quality holsters for Smith 69 + RMR recommendations?

    A little background before my question: I recently picked up a new Smith M69 and discovered that the barrel is either clocked or crooked. I've been monkeying around with picking aftermarket front and rear sights because I cannot see the factory sights in dim lighting...and I remembered that I...

    Number of rounds used in defense going up?

    While I own auto's I am a revolver guy at heart and usually carry one. I have been looking at a lot of real life shooting channels on YT lately. While more prevelant in officer involved shootings, seems like a lot of semi-auto shooters are treating their pistols like "bullet hoses" just putting...

    Handgun Life

    Prior to getting into competition I always thought that firearms were indestructible and lasted indefinitely. However, I was recently told that, for a semi-auto, each time the slide cycles it scrapes off a miniscule amount of metal from the slide rails. Eventually, the slide rails will get so...

    Carrying on my Peugeot

    I've had that handlebar bag for years. I've got an old Don Parker IWB I bought for my SR9c many years ago. It fits perfectly in the bag and my Shield Plus fits perfectly in the holster. Now, if the Drs would just let me ride again. IMG_20221022_154006062 by TarDevil posted Oct 22, 2022 at 3:45...

    38 S&W Special CTG - YOM

    The s/n is 506xxx with a V, but the V is stamped away from the s/n so it does not immediately precede the s/n. I gather that this means that it was around during WW2 but I recall seeing s/ns in the high 470xxx range with owners claiming that they were made in the 1920s. 470xxx to 506xxx is...

    38spl PPC of yesteryear / todays 9mm

    Not an easy title to catch interest. So yesteryear’s 38spl 148gr HBWC over 2.7 gr of Bullseye was/is the unfailing PPC target recipe since forever. Now that we have great guns like the S&W 929 6” revolver in 9mm, I would like to know what is the unfailing great load for a 9mm revolver. Is there...
