If that revolver was made before the 1970's you might refrain from using +P rounds. An excellent alternative for the 38 Special is the Federal, low-recoil self defense round. It expands well and has minimal recoil. I believe that one should not use different power and performance rounds for...

My K-22 from 1947 has six grooves and a tapered barrel. I think that is Smith and Wesson had any sense, they would be making these types of 22 revolvers today. There is nothing like them. They now make only shadows of these superbly functioning and beautifully designed weapons. Be happy that you...

I have a model 65-2 that I would not trade for anything. It is a superb revolver. It was a duty weapon for several years and I bought it when it was recalled. It has the counterbored chambers and it is highly accurate. I have never thought of having any work done on it. It has always been ideal...

Even with 38 specials, they really make recoil. They are easy to carry, but be sure to practice a lot with it, close in at self defense range.

It is simply survival of the fittest. Being somewhat removed from the food chain, we tend to forget that nature naturally culls the really inept. We can voice our unfitness to survive, but it is all still just natures way of eliminating the weak and foolish.

I carry one gun at a time. The ability to carry a concealed weapon, or carry one openly as we can do in Arizona, does not mean that the world has become a battlefield. I see no reason to become even midly paranoid and go about bristling with weapons. There are venues where one simply does not...

Handloading is a wonderful hobby. It can be great fun to obtain the custom precision you desire, and develop the loads that fit your firearms and your shooting needs. You can achieve excellent accuracy by weighing your powder charges, and taking special care in each step of the loading process...

Distribution Do you have plans for national distribution by gun shops and chains? How does one obtain your products? Thanks.

Snubs I use Silvertips. They seem like the best rounds for snubbies.

Mutual If the police want the cooperation of the public, they must be part of the public, and not elitists who over-reach their authority. It seems that in relation to firearms they can denigrate our civil rights with impunity. When someone loses their humanity, the badge does not make up that...

Shooting I think that in matters of practical shooting, the difference in those calibers is negligable. One must teach oneself to ignore recoil and focus on the trigger. The trigger pull happens before recoil and again after it; but not during it. Recovery time could be affected for some crack...

Mistake Your "overreaction" was drawing your weapon unprovoked. Perhaps they were miscreants with bad intentions. But perhaps they were also just lost or looking for an address. They technically could have called in a complaint and the police would haven been out there after you, not them...
