    New .45 Colt S&W N-Frame onboard!

    I picked up a 5" 25-9 today to complement my 4" and 6" 25-9s. It has a bit of holster wear around the muzzle, but very clean overall. Locks up nice. Looking forward to the range. The .45 Colt is likely my favorite cartridge. Not the best photo...need sunlight for a better shot.

    Got Taffin's New Book Today!

    I just bought John Taffin's new book; John Taffin's Book of Double-Action Sixguns. It is very well done and 474 pages long. The book has great illustrations and the chapters cover S&W, Colt, Ruger, Dan Wesson, Charter Arms, and Taurus DA revolvers. Haven't had a chance to read it fully yet...

    VELO Ammunition - anyone try this yet?

    Our local Sportsman's Warehouse has a ton of this ammunition in stock. I see that the VELO brand had its name granted a copyright on June 17, 2022, so it is a new manufacturer. Has anyone tried this ammo in any handgun caliber? If so, what did you think?

    A .45 Colt ANACONDA at LGS

    I need to stay away from the gun store... My LGS just helped out in an estate and bought a collection. Amongst the goodies were 7 unfired Colt Woodsman pistols of various years, still in box, and an unfired .45 Colt Anaconda with a 6" barrel ($3500). I need to sell a kidney...

    Found a good one: Model 13-4

    I found a good Model 13-4 3" .357 magnum at a decent price. Very clean, perfect bore, super-smooth action, just a bit of wear at the muzzle. Doesn't appear to be fired much at all. Here is a quick photo for now:

    Browning Citori Hunter GRII QC disappointment - forearm latch

    I picked up a new Browning Citori Hunter GRII and got it home. When putting it together from the box I could not get the latch closed on the forearm. Not wanting to start grinding on either metal or wood, I took it back to the shop from where it was purchased. Their gunsmith fixed it...some...

    Anybody shoot .350 Remington Magnum?

    Back in 2004 I picked up a Remington 673 Guide Rifle in .350 Remington Magnum. I have yet to come across a single soul who also uses the cartridge. Factory ammo is no longer made, so I got 500 pieces of brass from Starline. I use AA2520 and mange to get 2500 FPS from the 22” barrel pushing a...

    New N-Frame in the fold

    I stopped by my LGS and as soon as I walked in the guys all smiled and said, "We have a new N-Frame here; figured you would like it." It is a 3" 625-3 Model of 1989 in .45 ACP. It lacks the original stocks but is in great shape. I paid more than I wanted to, but it is one of the revolvers I...

    "I regret selling that one..."

    I have noticed a common theme amongst many of the posters here. Many post about a favorite gun that they foolishly sold, or were required to sell due to dire financial circumstances. A friend of mine sold his S&W Model 627-0 to buy diapers and baby food, and he is always drooling over my...

    I just got this today...took about 3 weeks from order to receipt. Great holster. I went to www.barrantileather.com to purchase. "Doc" Barranti does great work.

    Rifle for Oryx

    I will be applying for an Oryx tag next year (New Mexico). From those I've talked to, they are pretty stout beasts. A friend put four .308's into one (all good hits) before the guide brought it down with an 8mm mag. Assuming I get drawn (once in a lifetime) I was planning on bringing a...

    Ruger Vaquero in .40 S&W

    I have a Ruger Vaquero in .40 S&W. I asked Ruger if they would fabricate an additional 10 mm cylinder for the revolver, but they will not. Does anyone know a custom smith that can do this work?

    Need Sheath for Trailmaster Bowie

    I have an old Cold Steel Trailmaster (Carbon V) bowie I purchased probably 20 years ago (I think...getting hard to recall that far back!). I'm looking for a good sheath to replace the original nylon sheath. Any ideas?
