Will a speed loader for a Smith Chief work for an Iver Johnson break top in .38 S&W? Looking at the two cartridges, the rims appeared to be very close in diameter. So I tried the .38 S&W cartridges in a H&K loader meant for a K frame .38Spl. and they locked in perfectly. Being shorter, a...

She was found guilty after a two week trial. Jurors believed she had loaded a live round into the gun that Alec Baldwin shot and killed the film’s cinematographer with. Police found another 6 live rounds on the set, and they had a photo in which it appeared she was holding live rounds...

Aside from HR218 annual re-quals, I hadn’t been to a range since Covid started, shame on me. Remedied that today with a new range annual membership and some range time. A local 25 yard indoor range has a deal for first responders, even retired. Regular annual fee with 10-25% discount on guns...

So the new tactical Mini version comes from the factory with the cool looking Samson folding stock, an exact replica of the original Ruger stocks. Yeah, the ones the “A Team” used. But folding stocks in general don’t work well for left handed shooters. The bulge at the joint and the slightly...

Not sure if this has been posted here, but Ruger released a new model recently. Now comes complete with the Samson folding stock from the factory, along with the parts the GB model came with, i.e.,flash hider and bayonet lug. Time for your inner Mr. T to come out. Price, Ruger being Ruger is...

Neighbor called me to come across the street and join him for some pellet gun shooting, of course! He has a Umerex Gauntlet with a variable scope, up to 24X. Target was set at 50 yards, backed by 1/2” plywood, sitting in a steel yard cart. Have to say I was a little shocked to be getting...

I’m thinking about purchasing a Sig Romeo 5 red dot, so I started pricing them. Sig themselves on their site lists their MSRP at $140. Palmeto State Armory, where I‘ll probably buy it, lists theirs at $120, nice discount. Now here’s where it gets crazy. Brownell’s wants $170, in other words...

Can’t find it in their product line, seems like a direct challenge to the Henry. No information about it in this ad. Question is, is it plated or solid brass? Has this been out and I just didn’t know about it? https://www.winchesterguns.com/products/rifles/model-1866.html#.html

Here’s something new to me, a new blued version of the Python at the Shot Show. Good for CZ! Lots of gook on the one in the photo, hard to tell if it’s as shiny as the old Royal Blue. https://www.guns.com/news/2024/01/24/blued-python-slides-into-colt-lineup Edit: Oops, looks like Craig C...

A 3 member federal appeals court in Boston reinstated Mexico’s $10B suit against 6 US gunmakers, including Ruger, S&W, and Glock, overturning a lower court’s order of dismissal. The attorney’s for Mexico were assisted by US gun control groups. The companies, no doubt, will appeal.

A new grand jury in NM just charged Alec Baldwin with involuntary manslaughter, again. He is charged with 2 counts, one a felony, one a misdemeanor, but can only be convicted of one or the other, not both. The felony can bring a year and a half jail time. Let’s see how it works out this time.

While active soldiers and reservists in Israel have guns, generally the civilian population does not. There were only 21K permits issued last year in a country of 9 million. Since the last attack there, when 1200 Israelis were killed, and 240 were kidnapped, there were 256K new applications...

An article in The NY Times today tells about the intent of several Hollywood studios and TV shows to ban the use of real weapons on their sets due to the backlash over the shooting, and killing, of staff members on the “Rust” movie set by Alex Baldwin. The article cites restrictions by...

I’m sure we all have one or more that might fit the category above. In my case it was the H&K P7, a pistol I admired but didn’t buy when I had the chance. The current prices are more than I’d care to spend on one at the moment. What firearm do you regret not buying?

So every year a retired officer must requalify to the current marksmanship standards in their state for active officers to keep their HR218 ability for permitless carry in all states and US territories. Where I reside the standards include timed fire at distances from 4 feet, where you draw and...

The above was just detected in Sweden for the first time, it kills every pig and wild boar it comes in contact with, no effect on humans at this point. There was an outbreak in June in Eastern Europe that caused 1000’s of domestic pigs to be euthanized to prevent spreading. Swedish authorities...

Just got this today, and has renewed my interest in break tops, or whatever you wish to label them. It’s an Iver Johnson 3rd model in S&W .38. I know there must be lots more of you here with all kinds, from American to British, to Belgian, etc., high and low end. Let’s see what you got!

Been jonesing after a break top for a while, couldn’t find anything locally. Also, didn’t want to spend a fortune. Took a chance on a Gunbroker auction, and I think I got lucky. Gun was as described, .38 S&W, 85-90% finish, tight lockup in single and double action, and a shiny bore with...

They’re for in store sales only. They’ve got CCI #500 small pistol for $69.95 a brick of 1000. I don’t know if that’s currently a good price, but it’s twice what I paid last when I stocked up some time ago.

Can loading dies for .38Spl be used to load .38 S&W cases? Also, can .38Spl bullets be used to reload .38 S&W? I believe 38 S&W can be fired in a .38Spl revolver, correct? . Thanks
