    Ruger sp101 hammer spur or not?

    I would have to disagree that a SP101 is too big for pocket carry. I'm a lanky fellow, it's hard to hide a cigarette on me, and I carry mine (A DAO 2.25" .357) daily in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster, wearing relaxed fit blue jeans. It is visible sometimes that I have something in my pocket...

    A comprehensive beginner's guide to handgun shooting.

    Shaky, Frangible projectiles is certainly something I left out. I'm not a big fan of them myself, but what they are and how they work is certainly information that a new shooter should have. Thanks. I'm doing an edit later tonight and will add that in, but in the meantime I have a few...

    A comprehensive beginner's guide to handgun shooting.

    Noted and edited, Ultravox. The language has been toned down and I have tried to refrain from insulting the reader. Thank you for your input.

    A comprehensive beginner's guide to handgun shooting.

    I wrote this with the intention that someone who has never handled a firearm before could read this and get a good overview of what is required to safely and effectively shoot a handgun. I tried to cover pretty much everything a total noob needs to know to fire their first magazine and hit the...

    Do you know of anyone who makes aftermarket frames for the old model revolvers?

    Looking for a grip frame for an old model Single Six

    A Ruger old model Single Six with a XR3-RED grip frame came into my shop. the grip frame is broken and needs to be replaced, but for the life of me I cannot find a grip frame for the 'old model' revolvers. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

    Converted Rolling Block deadly rabbit gun

    I am quite jealous of your hunting tool. It sounds like a fun rifle.

    A letter to the editor regarding a hunting accident.

    My father wrote this letter to the editor of the Hill City Times following his recent hunting excursion. It was published, but unfortunately the HCT doesn't have a website and I don't have a clipping to scan. Here is the text of the letter: Letter to the Editors Christmas Eve 2010 Dear...

    Testing out the miniature Coehorn mortars my friend and I made.

    Very nice, Pete. We machined the barrels from a solid billet of steel (aside from the trunion, which is simply a cross-pin), so it really couldn't get much more simple. Here are some better pics of my mortar:

    Testing out the miniature Coehorn mortars my friend and I made.

    Here's some videos from the tests. It was a lot of fun. Made the mortar barrels on my lathe from cold-rolled steel. They are .35 caliber and here we are firing them with pyrodex. Had a little trouble working up a blank load with a good report using the pyrodex, but wrapping a little flour in...

    CC holster for Commander 1911 w/rail.

    Thanks, after a lot of research I went ahead and ordered a Crossbreed supertuck for him. It's not as fancy-looking as I would have liked, but everywhere I go people are saying it's the most comfortable IWB holster available. I figure it doesn't matter what it looks like if he'll actually wear it.

    CC holster for Commander 1911 w/rail.

    My father recently got himself a very nice custom-built Caspian 1911. It's a commander length model with an accessory rail. His birthday is coming up and I would like to get him a nice leather CC holster, but I'm having a hard time finding any that will fit the rail. Any suggestions?

    Is anyone here into Cowboy Action Shooting in Oregon?

    I've never taken part in any cowboy action events, but I would like to check it out and possibly participate. I live in the Portland area and was just wondering if there are any Oregonians here who take part in the SASS shoots. The only website I could find for SASS shooting was...

    Rossi Ranchhand

    The only practical use I could see for it is hunting in areas or seasons that do not allow rifles but allow handguns. Other than that, it would be fun to shoot. With that said, I would rather have a 16" carbine with a full stock. It's probably my next purchase, in fact.

    I just feel like showing off my rifle.

    Thank you, Cosmoline. I was trying to give it a sleek, streamlined look and feel, and I think I succeeded in that regard.
