Here on the Gulf Coast regular cleaning and lubrication is necessary to prevent corrosion.

Another Ruger American in 7.62x39 owner here – I’ll likewise be sticking with Ruger mags.

Understandable. But in my experience the extra cost is worth it. My K22, for example, is far superior to my less expensive .22s, particularly in double action.

Correct. The notion that the measure will force every FFL in Washington State to close is dishonest fearmongering and a lie.

Like others I have both. I went with the Gen II in x39 – to me it’s clearly the nicer rifle.

I'm not.

Add adjustable sights to a .357 N-frame (M27) and you’re close to the ideal revolver.

Well, it is the Glock Store – I wonder if they sell only Glocks.

There’s nothing in the ruling concerning possessing – or not possessing – a FOID card; the ruling addresses solely the constitutionality of Federal law prohibiting undocumented immigrants from possessing firearms. Certain politicians are clearly using the ruling in a bad faith effort to attack...

My only issue is the absence of an adjustable rear sight. I know that an adjustable sight would detract from the revolver’s image as a tough outdoor companion to the lever-actions, but my old eyes just can’t use trench sights.

Beautiful revolver. Colt hits another one out of the park.

Although I dislike Glocks – and striker-fired plastic pistols in general – Glock doesn’t seem in jeopardy of losing dominance in its respective market; indeed, it’s sought after by new gun owners, is the standard of law enforcement, and has a devoted, enthralled fan base. Consequently, it’s...

That’s the S&W new revolver buying process: customers are responsible for QC. You buy a new revolver that doesn’t work – send it back to be repaired. When you get it back you’ve got an excellent revolver that will last generations. I’ve had to send two new revolvers back to be repaired.

So we’re looking at a less than $200 difference in some cases, which really isn’t significant; again, just save up the extra $200 and get a Ruger or Smith – better quality, better resale value. If the 8 shot 608 in .357 were selling for under $300, that would be a significant price difference.

That depends on several factors. For example, in jurisdictions where ‘long range’ self-defense would result in criminal prosecution, sights are not necessary.
