I stopped by my favorite LGS yesterday to see if they had anything that I couldn't live without. Turns out that they did. It's a 1960 Colt model 3-5-7, from what I can tell through my research. SN is 24xxx. Tag said it was a Trooper but it doesn't say that on the gun, Just says Colt 357. Anyway...

I was looking through my safe this weekend, when I spied an old friend, My LC9S. I carried it for a long time, until my work required a bit better concealment. I am around the public and on others private property most days, but refuse to be unarmed, so I switched to an LCP, then later to an LCP...

I've been on the look out for a 1917 revolver for a while now. I see the Brazilian Contact models for sale and was just wondering what the 1917 knowledgeable crowd thinks of them. I'd like a GI issued 1917, but should I settle for a B.C. model? They seem to be running a bit cheaper. Is there any...

A while back I was bitten by the 32 bug. For both revolver and autos. I currently have a Ruger Single Six in 32 Mag, a Smith and Wesson 32 HE, a Taurus 741 in 32 Mag, and a Zastava M70 in 32 Auto. I enjoy the 32s alot, so I was thinking about another 32 auto. My question is, are there any 32...

So a couple of weeks ago I asked you folks about adding a model 19 to my collection. The guy at the counter of my LGS, was also wanting the one they had in the case, and not wanting to scoop it out from under him, I bid on one on GB. It was a pretty low bid on a nice 19-3. Thinking someone...

Would you buy a S&W model 19-3 with a 4 inch barrel and factory nickel plating if you knew you would only fire 38 Spl in it? I am in the camp that says it's truly special to shoot 38s in a gun chambered for 38s, as opposed to shooting 38s in a 357. I have other 357s that just don't get the...

A few weeks ago I asked the opinion of you fine folks between a Vaquero 44 mag and a Blackhawk 41 mag. After much consideration, and realizing that I love all things 45 caliber, I decided to go with a Blackhawk convertible 45 Colt/45 ACP. This was a great choice for me because I am already...

Vaquero Bisley in 44 Mag 5.5 inch or Blackhawk in 41 Mag 4.6 inch barrel. Same condition and same price. Yes I will be handloading for either. Help me out here folks, I can't decide. I could buy both, but I don't want to right now because neither was on my radar. I have other guns I want...

I was in a LGS today and came across a H&R 732. Only blemish on it is a turn line on the cylinder. Says it's a 1977 vintage. 32 S&W Long. Looks like a recessed cylinder. Very clean. $345.00 Should I run back and buy it or let it slide?

A while back I found a 1953 K22 Combat Masterpiece (4 inch version of the K22/M17) on consignment at a LGS. I made an offer but the dealer couldn't get ahold of the seller. This went on for several weeks. I got tired of waiting and put in a bid for a 1961 Model 18 no dash on GB. I ended up...

Can you fine folks tell me if the ejector star/ratchet on my K22 is a drop in part or is it hand fitted? I seem to have a problem with lock up on 2 chambers of my new gun, and my guess is the problem is with the ratchet teeth. Or maybe you all have other ideas I can check? It seems to be the...

Lately I've kinda been trying to find matching sets of S&W revolvers. I've got my K38 Target Masterpiece, and a matching 15-3. Then I found a 17-2, and now I scored a K22 Combat Masterpiece! (1953 vintage) And in a strange twist of fate, while waiting for 3 weeks for an answer on an offer for...

I found a clean FEG Hi Power, but I already have a Girsan. What do you all think of the FEGs?

What distance would be considered optimal for back yard target shooting? I have a few air rifles that I have never really wrung out yet to see what pellets they prefer. I was shooting a Benjamin Trail NP .177 This evening and was getting great groups at 10 yards, but it went all to H### At 20...

So in a previous thread I asked for opinions on getting a M14, or a M15, or a M19. You all convinced me that the 14 was the better option. When I went to pick it up, I opened the cylinder to check for empty chambers and what dash number it might be. To my surprise it was not a 14, but actually...

Found all at an LGS. Prices are good, condition of all 3 is very good. Already have a 15-3. (Love it.) Don't need any, but could use another in my collection. 14 is 6 inch bbl, other 2 are 4 inch. What would you all do?

So I posted earlier this week about my good fortune with a score on a 25-7. Well, I must be living right because this evening I stopped by a LGS/sporting goods shop looking for watercraft ID numbers. They didn't have any, but they did have this. A very nice S&W 17-2 with target stocks...

I've been eyeing this beauty for about a month now at a LGS. I thought the price was a little higher than I wanted to go. Then at another LGS, I came across a small lot of S&W factory wood grips which i bought for future possible use. Included in that lot was a pristine set of factory target...

Walked out with this instead. A S&W 61-3. It's a 22lr made around 1972. It was just too cool to leave behind and I thought the price was decent so, what the heck. The barrel is mounted in the frame, below the slide, which S&W did on some of their newer models also. I will get it cleaned up...

Do any of you folks have any experience or first hand knowledge with the M48-? That shipped from the factory as a switch cylinder 22lr/22 mag? I found one that is in excellent condition. The SCSW says they shipped with the 22lr cylinder and yoke. This gun has both cylinders but there is no yoke...
