Hi THR -- it's been a while! I'm getting the bug for a Ruger Single Six. I know I want a blued model for the lighter weight of the aluminum frame. I like the fit and finish of the current, "L" model blued SSs -- the ones with the internal lock -- so I am thinking about buying new. But I...

Hi All, I've become a fan of Prvi Partizan (Serbian ammo maker) 5.56x45 mm in my 16" AR-15 carbine. I have shot a lot of their M193 ball and M855 green tip, and both are fine stuff. Accurate, good power, no problems. Now I am seeing some decent deals on their sporting .223 55 gr Soft Point...

I've been shooting a new mid-frame Ruger Blackhawk Flattop in .44 Special, from the current limited run by Lipsey's. http://www.lipseys.com/itemdetail.aspx?itemno=RUNVB45SPCL&mfg=Ruger&family=Blackhawk+Series&model=Blackhawk+Flattop&type=Revolver&caliber=44+Special I'm really enjoying this...

For all you fellows and ladies who dismiss my man* Jeff Quinn at Gunblast.com for giving good reviews to every gun he covers, check this one out: http://gunblast.com/SW-60Pro.htm OK, he tried to come up with something nice to say at the end, but come on. If you read with just a little bit of...

... in the cover article of the new issue of Guns. And it ain't pretty! Say what you will about Mas, he's one of the few big gunslick writers who is willing to talk dirt in frank terms about a major company's new gun if it doesn't meet expectations. That's what happens here. He did like...

Freedom Arms now has a .327 Fed. Mag. conversion cylinder for their .32 H&R Model 97 sixgun. Jeff Quinn reviews the FA revolver (with 5.5" barrel) along with a custom 6.5" Ruger Single Six chambered for the .327 round: http://gunblast.com/Freedom-Harton327.htm Very impressive velocities...

Man. They were just as nice as everyone says. I saw a Rodeo, a Cowboy (actually, Rodeo II -- see below) and a full-boat Single Action. Calibers .38 Special and .45 Colt. All very well fitted. Smooth precise action feel. The true Single Action had beautiful Turnbull color case. The...

I love my CZ-75B and P-01. Not only are they accurate and good-looking, with great ergonomics, but they run extremely reliably. Except with CCI Blazer aluminum cased ammo. With that stuff I get about 1 "choke" every 100 rounds from the 75B; one every 40 or 50 rounds from the shorter-barreled...

I have long enjoyed the Quinns' site. Jeff's a seasoned shooter whose taste in guns is pretty similar to mine. This is a generally useful review of Ruger's new 9mm: http://gunblast.com/Ruger-SR9.htm Capsule version: * Fed everything perfectly. * Feels much slimmer than a Glock 9mm. *...

I sure do like .44 Magnum and .44 Special. Plan to start reloading the .44s soon. I used to own a 7.5" Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter. It was an excellent quality gun but just too unwieldy and heavy for me at 52 oz. (I love my S&W 629 4" at 41 oz.) I'm thinking about trying another...

(Sorry if this thread is duplicative: I don't recall seeing it here. There has been a thread on it on TFL. The THR search engine has been extremely slow and hard to use of late.) Check out the new lineup of Single Six models on Ruger's website...

I'm not thrilled with some of the innovations in Ruger's Mk-III rimfire pistols (in a word, oversafetied) -- but man, this is a nice looking special run: http://www.gunblast.com/Ruger-LipseysMKIII.htm Those cocobolo grip panels look good.

Posted today on TV personality and THR member Michael Bane's blog: http://michaelbane.blogspot.com/2007/08/s-revolver-safety-failure.html 4" Ruger Redhawk, anyone?

What Magnum loads do you folks get good results from in the 2.25" barreled Ruger SP101? Any chrono / ballistic data? I just picked up one of these sturdy little fiveguns (bobbed-hammer DAO model) and took it for its first range session. I was very impressed. Good accuracy and...

Did the math the other day; thought it might interest as a sample of something or other. As you'll see, I'm a fairly avid weekend handgun shooter, but not one of the big dogs (e.g., serious competition shooters who plow through tens of thousands of rounds). I don't reload yet, but that may...

This is the accuracy champ in my CZ 75B pistol. I have put at least a case of the BH 124 grain +P loading (tipped with Hornady's XTP bullet) through the 75B in the past year, and it smacks the 25 yard plates like a laser. I wish there were more chrono and ballistics testing on rounds like...

Sigh - end of an era. Right about round # 2,250. My CZ 75B pistol is two years old. It has gradually ascended higher and higher in my esteem, to the point where I think of it as "my sidearm" even though I own several nice handguns. It is accurate, graceful, fits my hand perfectly, has a...

Hello, all. Buffalo Bore's entry into the market for premium 9mm defense ammo is five JHP loads, three of them rated +P+: http://www.buffalobore.com/ammunition/default.htm#9mm Anyone tried the 115 grain +P+ load (or any of the others)? Buff. Bore says that load clocks at 1426 fps from...

(No, that's not the title of a Simon & Garfunkel album from an alternate universe in which the sensitive '60s duo were heavily into rimfire varminting.) Anyway, I'm new to CCI Stingers, though I've shot through many a box of CCI Mini-Mags over the past few years. Fired a box of Stingers...

Seriously considering the purchase of the Target or Rough Country aftermarket rear sights made by Bowen Classic Arms for my 4" GP100. Interested in hearing others' experiences with these two sight models, and thoughts about how they differ from one another in practice. I use my GP mostly for...
