Maybe something to consider: I'm currently looking at purchasing a S&W 625 JM. The 625 is chambered in .45 ACP and uses moon clips to help load and extract rounds. Being a .45 is definitely qualifies as big bore and it allows you to use ammo that's more economical than a .45 Colt or .44 Magnum...

I wouldn't say .40 is a dead caliber by any means. Practically ever new gun that is introduced in 9mm usually has a .40 follow on version right on it's heels. Dead calibers don't have that. I would, however, be interested in seeing something like sales and production statistics for something...

Something I noticed in a few of the videos from the SHOT range day: A Colt rep specifically said that all of the small frames from Colt would be put into the Cobra "family". That basically confirms that more variations are definitely in the works and you can expect them to all be named Colt...

Quick question for you. I noticed on one of the Ruger forums that owners were complaining of their front sight dovetails being a little shallow causing a gap between the barrel rib and the front sight blade. Does your new gun exhibit the same phenomenon? I'm very interested in picking one of...

I will agree that the new trigger guard design somewhat detracts from the overall aesthetics of the gun. Frankly I would have like to see a straight up re-introduction of the DS-II and Magnum Carry with no changes made. However, the change to the trigger was supposedly done to help improve the...

The main objective for Colt would be to avoid any negativity surrounding the gun before it even launches. If they name the gun Python the rose colored glasses crowd will harp on and on about how it's nothing like the originals and create a negative atmosphere around the gun right from the start...

I believe all roads lead to Colt releasing a new medium framed .357 revolver, not necessarily a new Python. Folks have way too much ego invested in the legend of the classic Python to make any attempts at resurrecting the name viable. Any attempt to re-introduce a new gun with the Python name...

Regardless of anyone's views on Hickok or Mr. Quinn, I doubt you will find what you are looking for from either of them. Your looking for a very detailed shooting review and you will likely have to loook through a few forums like this one for a detailed review from an owner to find those answers.

To my knowledge to only revolvers on the market smaller and/or lighter than a J frame Smith are the NAA Mini's, which are only chambered in .22lr or .22 Magnum. My suggestion would be to buy a S&W 638 Bodyguard. It's the shrouded hammer sibling to the more common 642 and 637 that allows...

I actually find myself more drawn to this gun than the other new DA revolvers that were announced for this year such as the .44 Spl GP100 or the new Colt Cobra. It's definitely not something I want to carry concealed, but it looks like it would make for a nice nightstand gun with it's revolver...

I think some fail to realize that companies change all the time. Ownership changes, low level employees come and go, managers retire and new managers are promoted in their place. Companies after all are made up of and ran by people, and changing the people behind a company can greatly affect...

Supposedly the NDA on the gun is lifted today. Hopefully we will find out all we need to know within the coming week.

I honestly can't see Uberti adding this system to all of their guns, especially the ones that both Taylor's and Cimmaron import. The original 4 click hammer design is one of the big selling points of these guns for the people who buy them. Add to that that Uberti already has added a hammer block...

I got lucky once and ran across a basically new-in-box S&W 66-5 at a local gun show for $400. It was a trade in from a local juvenile justice complex. Had a rack number scrolled into the frame under the cylinder, but otherwise appeared to have been never issued and definitely never fired. Other...

I'm interested in hearing the outcome on this one. I agree that that particular gun is shooting way worse than it should be. As is usual with brand new models there's typically a few bugs to work out in the system as workers get trained on how to build the newest products. Ruger is typically...
