I like my 6 inch, full underlug GP-100. I use it to compete in my club's PPC match and a couple of times in the Bullseye match. Wish I had gotten the 1/2 underlug as mine is a bit "nose" heavy. These a big, heavy and strong revolvers. Takes you back to the 50's and 60's. I think it...

You guys are better reloaders than I. I check the first few rounds for powder drop, primer seat depth and OAL. Then I just let 'em rip. Does anyone else load like I do? - I may want to change! Keep 'em in the X-ring, Jerry

If you are loading a lot of 9MM you might want to consider a Shell Sorter kit with the optional metal insert plate. You can find these by searching for Shell sorter on the internet. The product works! I used to shoot a lot of 9 MM and would always try to "pick up" my brass. It is very easy...

Old Fuff - Would it make any difference if I told you I thing the gun is a 36 Caliber - I thought all the Remington Old Army's were 44 Thanks, Jerry

My 92 year old Dad - gave me all his shooing stuff last month - he moved to an assisted living facility that does not allow guns. Among the stuff was a percussion revolver. It appears to be an 1858 Remingtom, but the the barrel is engraved - "Patented Dec. 17 1861" the second line says...

Has anyone noticed the Ruger web site shows that all models of the Old Army have been discontinued? Guess I put off getting a new one too long - and thats sad! Jerry

I was shooting in my club's PPC match this week end and my Colt Officers Model, 32 S&W Long, hung up. In the middle of a string the trigger hung all the way back . Looked at it for a minute and noticed the cylinder had only indexed about about half way. Rotated the cylinder on around to line...

This is not a joke! KRS - I assume your post was in "jest". I am quite serious about this project. From the lack of responses I assume that no one on this forum knows where to find a "Detective Special" barrel for this gun. This is despite the posts that plead not to cut the barrel - It...

OK! You guys win - Where can I find the barrel? Jerry

fireflyfather I appreciate what you are saying - but I don't think you understand the condition of this revolver. It is as Xavier said a "beater gun". Almost all of the finish has worn off the barrel, cylinder and top strap. The grips are chipped. If I put it on a table at a gun show I...

Xavier - dfariswheel - SaxonPig Xavier - Thanks for the help - Among your recommendations was a "FITZ" job - I don't know that term - Could you tell me what you mean? dfariswheel - Thanks a lot for the info - I will give it to the guy that I think will be doing the work - It will probably...

Xavier, That is exactly what I want - Mine is not as nice as yours - most all the blue is worn off the barrel and cylinder. Don't think it would be worth very much, but it shoots great. Hate to just throw it in the safe - why not give it some use. I also will get the hammer bobbed so...

SaxonPig It is hard to read the markings on the barrel - there is a large "P" and then on the top line is "olice". The second line has "ositive". To the side of those two lines is "38 Special". The revolver will shoot the 38 special. I have fired about 150 rounds of 38 special - 150 gr. Lee...

My Dad has given me an old 4" Colt Police Positive revolver. The serial number is 1472XX It was reportedly given to him by a friend that had gotten it from a retired Little Rock, Arkansas police officer. The revolver show extensive holster ware on the barrel and cylinder. However, there is...

Super power revolvers Commander Crusty, Thanks for "saying so". I have been of the opinion, for a long time, that if you can't get it done with a 357 Magnum - you probably need a rifle. I had a Ruger single action 44 Mag back in the 80's. I was so excited when I got it - I was going...
