I think they are a waste. For real work, perhaps the short barreled rifle/shotgun with the sawed off stock was because that's all you could afford and you had to carry it concealed (horses), in a vehicle (1930's gangsters) or in the jungle. Or perhaps it is one of many guns you own and you can...

Ruger LCR series. In .38 they weigh around 12-13 oz, and in .357 around 16 oz. The trigger is fantastic for the size.

What I like about reloading isn't just saving over the current prices, it's the fact that I am making a lot (in numbers and in a sitting) of ammo at yester-years prices. I still have the depleted pound of Bullseye that I gave 20 dollars for that I started reloading 45 ACP with about 10 years...

I got to hold and look at a 44 mag Ruger era Marlin the other day and was pretty impressed with the fit and finish of it. The lever was smooth and easy to throw, and it had a decent trigger. What impressed me most was the weight. It felt light and easy in the hand. The Henry's I have looked...

I did finally. I went on Thursday to get it, and CBI was backed up with communication issues, so my background check took longer than I wanted to wait. Went back today, and they got me in and out quickly. It's the case hardened hammer and trigger, with no lock of course. The DA is heavy...

Ruger was excellent, and for scopes Primary Arms was awesome. I had a piece of plastic break off a scope cover before I even shot it. Reached out to them, they sent me a new one, no questions asked. Also, XS sights sent me a rear sight with no hassles when the tritium went dim after a few...

I've got two, both 38's, when they were cheaper and I couldn't pass up the deal. To me, they are excellent utility revolvers. I can throw it in my pocket when I want to dress up and not wear a jacket or vest and it disappears pretty well to anyone who isn't one of us. I usually carry it as a...

Both are in similar condition: finish is stainless with minimal scratches, lockup tight, no end shake, wonderful triggers. I do need to bring my measuring tools to measure the cylinder gap and throats, but will do that before I conclude the deal.

That is with the price down some. They wouldn't go any lower since they just put it into the case. Like you, I haven't seen one in any caliber or even a 25 in a long time.

I agree that the BH is worth more now, but I don't think they'd hold the MG while I tried to sell it. I also think the MG will sell before the weekend if they didn't hold it. They've only had it in the case a few days. I've only seen two MG's in any caliber the last few years, and I've been...

I didn't have the second cylinder or box with me, I just happened to see it in Cabela's gun library. I took in one of my two carry guns for trade. They're holding it til this weekend for me.

I am considering a trade for a S&W Mt Gun in 45 Colt, a 625-6 to be exact. I am trading my 4 3/4 Blackhawk flat top in 45 Colt/ACP for what I bought it (600) for plus six hundred dollars. I have another flat top in the same caliber. Thoughts on the trade?

I go to my local library to look at the gun value books, and the internet to get more up to date pricing. With inflation being what it is today, who knows what a gun will cost in 6 months.

Not a gun gamer, but a 1911 carrier in the field for work. My safety comes off when I am aligned with the target at full extension and ready to shoot, immediately before my finger goes in the trigger guard. The safety goes on when I am in any position other than full extension, with the...

I run the Lee economy model turret press, as it's what I could afford at the time I bought it. For pistol cartridges, I run it 4 pulls and a finished round. Powder is done through the die with Lee's volume measuring device (can't remember the name). For rifle, I use it more like a single...
