Can someone tell me the names of the parts that are typically polished up when an action job is done? I have a stainless Security Six, in the earlier serial number sequence, that I would like to return to stock condition. Some prior owner did an action job and did too much, the thing wants to...

I'm interested in being able to quasi-accurately place a .357 magnum bullet 200 or 300 yards out from my 16" Rossi 92 carbine. This is my near-distance self-defense rifle that I take camping, but I'm camping more and more in the open desert. I have not kept up on all of the innovation in sights...

My Winchester 9422 has sat in the safe for over ten years. When I took it out last week, the stock was very warm, clearly has been sitting too close to a heat source that I keep in there, and faded! See pictures, the forearm is what the stock used to look like. I'd like to do what needs to be...

But tell me, what is the practical use of a 48 oz single action in .357??? I'm not going to hunt with it. I've got lots of range toys. There are lighter guns available for backpacking or for the trail. Why should I buy a stainless 6 1/2" Blackhawk in .357??? Talk me into it!

Watch Larry King interview Mark David Chapman about the night he shot John Lennon. I don't understand why we would not want people like this having to go through a background check. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaUe5rCO6xU

I'm thinking of treating myself to a .357 lever action wall hanger, occassionally to also shoot at the range. What's the prettiest, and I mean just drop-dead gorgeous, .357 lever gun made out there??? I'm partial to the 1892 style, but I'm open to suggestions.

I just bought a Rossi 92 stainless with a 16 inch barrel, which I'm setting up as my camping gun / truck gun. Strictly a defensive weapon. Has anyone chrono'd the Double Tap .357 200gn load out of this gun? (if I'm in black bear country) Also, I'm assuming the Rossi can cycle and fire the...

What's the best commercial ammo for my Marlin 336 as purely a self-defense measure against cougars and black bear? This will be while hiking up in the Central Sierras. (This past weekend while doing some bushwhacking, I saw fresh sign for both.) The easy choices are what I have in my cabinet...

The Winchester web site shows two different rifles that look pretty identical to me - what am I missing? Both are walnut with a straight stock, both are blued 20" round barrels. In .357, the 1892 Carbine has a different model number, slightly different weight, and slightly different MSRP...

Does anyone know the weight of a new 6" Model 57? S&W does not provide that info on its web site: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_766136_-1_757903_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y Bud's lists it at 37 oz, which I have a hard time...

...spanish written on the side? What's up with that?!?

if you were in the market for a new revolver, would you buy a five-shot big-bore GP100 with a 4" barrel? I'm going to make the poll 'no' or 'yes', but I'll define big-bore as .41mag, .44spc, .44mag, .45colt my preference would be a .45colt, I just think a stainless five-shot .45colt GP100...

I'm about to pick up a new SP101 with a 3" barrel. This is a tool I'll keep handy in case something walks in unannounced through my always-open-doors at a house high in the Sierras. Also, the thought of a mountain lion lurking at the property corners or under the house also has my...

Hello, first post... I carry a 4" GP-100 as a woods gun when I'm hiking in wilderness areas alone for protection from mountain lion and black bear. As it's a .357, I've loaded it up with Buffalo Bore 180gn, advertised at 1400 ft/sec and 783 ft lbs. The recoil is stout, but I'm pretty...
