Those are great revolvers. I had occasion to examine a bunch of them when they started returning to the states -- many had been barely shot -- there were many with holster wear, but it was almost as though the issuing agencies didn't require their personnel to even qualify on the revolvers.

If I were required to carry a revolver for work or when ultimately semi-auto pistols are proscribed, a 686+ in 4 inch trim would be great. But, were I required to carry revolver I'd opt for the 627 eight-shot in either the Bloodwork edition (2 5/8" PC) or the Pro (4"). As a private citizen...

While I freely admit that the consumerism and materialism of our culture is out of control, for many, expensive jewelry, clothing, accoutrements are a part of their lives... So one should have to forego ever wearing or using these possessions out of fear of encountering a criminal that would...

Look, this has come up often in the past two or three decades. Mas Ayoob has written (and spoken) about many, many civil and criminal trials in which he's testified as an expert witness for defendants. I can't recall any case he's ever talked about in which the amount of spare ammo the...

What everyone else is saying. Heck, yes. Rifle shooters have known this for years. For handguns, especially in the 9mm caliber, with the myriad of brands, weights, velocities, bullet design. But, you also have to track what you're shooting in each gun, and what your results are. Some guns...

I haven't put a flat trigger into one of my 320s (yet) but I've got SIG's flat triggers in a couple 365s and a 226 Legion SAO. I kinda fell in love with the flat trigger for the first time with the Legion, likely because it's simply an amazing, superb shooting piece of fine engineering. Then I...

I've now got the Skinner peep sights on every one of my lever rifles, but I grew up with the old "buckhorn" sights and don't have a problem with them. However, the peep sight surely does give those of us with geezer eyes a much more clear sight picture. Another thing about Skinner is, the...

There is NO such statistic. This has become just another internet trope, endlessly repeated and which, if anything, makes many less likely to prepare for the worst event that could affect them. I do get a kick out of all those folks whose disaster preparation is viewing YouTube videos, though...

When I was a young boy I used to spend a lot of time at my grandma's place out in the country, her backyard bordered on a corn field. The farmer that owned the land was well known to load up rock salt in a shotgun and fire it in the direction of all us young juvenile delinquents who trespassed...

Geez, just when I'm startin' to think I got all my revolver itches scratched, along comes @CraigC (post #77) to show me some more that I really need to be looking for...

Funny how that happens. Wish my wife believed me about this phenomenon -- you guys gotta keep tellin' it. My all-time favorite snubby (well, aside from the S&W Model 19 2.5")... let's call it my favorite snub .38 SPL!

Just to be fair, unless one is elected or appointed to certain offices, or unless one enlists or is commissioned into the military, just because they are employed by the government -- they swear no oath, to the Constitution or otherwise. Flunkies such as this tool Beck in the OP video doubtless...

Off-topic, but I still love fishing for panfish on a ultralight rig with 4 pound test line. Growing up, yellow perch, bluegills and pumpkinseeds all day long...

I haven't bought anything new in weeks (months, actually). I'd told myself I had to buy one before my state's standard capacity magazine ban went into effect... just got in under the wire. Not many rounds through it yet, but so far, it's exceeded my expectations -- the trigger is stunningly...

Like @Targa, I got one of the sleeper 3-inchers, and it's actually become one of my favorite carry/knockaround revolvers. I do have a beater Model 13, it's just rough, a dream is to find a 3" Model 13 unfired in the box someday. Still kicking myself for off-loading a pristine 3" Model 36...

I'm gonna just go ahead and disagree a little here. Not long ago, I read an interview with a respected, retired military analyst (can't remember the source, but it wasn't in some obscure, non-credible right-wing site), anyway, the guy's position was that military authority -- in terms of...

Guys, a couple of my classic Colts are feeling left out...

The individual in question is in no way in a position of authority. Low level staffer, who probably just types into his computer drafts of policy notes handed down to him by his supervisors. Not only is this much ado about nothing, it's difficult to believe that the opinions of this tool are...

And this is also true. I suspect most of us have those days...

Thanks, I've been kicking myself (figuratively) over the past few years, since Kim Ahrends stopped making grips, for not ordering several more sets when Top Gun Supply still had a bunch of 'em in stock. The oiled finger-groove cocobolo grips fit my hands perfectly and are pretty much my...
