    $600 to spend

    What I did Like the poster, I also like to buy at least one gun a year, on general principles. And I have the major bases covered, as well. So I will offer pictures of the last 3 guns I bought, to see if it triggers anything - they were in the range $500 to $675:

    S&W 66 no dash 2.5" P&R- Worth $400+ today?

    66 snubby pricing Like many people I like S&W 66 snubbies, and have three of them. The 66-3 below cost me $300, but that was 4 years ago. The 66-2 I bought earlier in 2009 for $500, and the 66-4 (3 inch) was also $500 in early 2008. I would say the typical price now for a 2.5 inch 66 in...

    Need a new concealed carry gun.

    A vote for the Kahr If concealment is the most important thing, I'd go with the Kahr MK40. The Kahr is much smaller, especially in the grip, than a 1911 with 3 inch barrel. I have a Kahr MK9 (same size as the MK40) and a Colt Defender. The photo below shows them next to one another, along...

    Colt Gold Cup

    Gold Cup fan I have liked Colt Gold Cups for a long time. I currently have 5 of them, 3 that I shoot and 2 that are unfired safe queens. I can't find too much bad to say about them, and shoot them frequently.

    S&w 60-3

    I paid $500 for one Earlier this year I bought an unfired model 60-3 for $500. I thought the price was fair, from others I saw.

    My New-To-Me Colt Detective Special

    Comparison picture - J frame and Colt Detective Special RevolvingGarbage asked: Here is my Detective Special next to my J frame model 36, which is the same size as a 442. Note that the J frame has 2 finger boot grips while the Colt has 3 finger Hogue grips, which makes the Colt look...

    s&w 60 vs 686

    Why 2 inch barrel? The poster said the gun would be for home defense and range use. But he stipulated a 2 inch barrel, which is mainly useful for concealed carry. If concealed carry is not an option, I'd get a 4 inch barrel revolver for home defense. It is easier to shoot accurately, absorbs...

    Is a Sig 239 any easier to conceal than a Glock 19?

    Almost identical in dimensions I have a 9mm P239 and a Glock 19. I wondered myself about the relative dimensions, so I have measured both guns with a ruler and a calipers and compared the results. They are almost identical in height, length and thickness of slide and grip. The Glock weighs...

    Vintage Virgins: Show & Tell

    Unfired model 19 with black matte finish S&W model 19 revolvers have been out of production for quite a while. Most of the ones made had a blued finish, and some were nickel plated. A few were made on special order for law enforcement agencies in a matte black finish. The State Department...

    Walther PPK vs. Iterarms PPK

    Interarms PPKs I have an Interarms PPK that was made in the US. It is a very solid, well-made gun. Notice on the photo it says "Made in USA" on the slide:

    Glock or Sig

    Glocks for carry I own 2 Glocks and 4 Sigs, but tend to prefer a Glock for a carry gun. My reasons are: 1. Same trigger pull on every shot with a Glock, while my DA/SA Sigs have a heavy first pull that can throw that shot off slightly. I think the first shot is the most important in self...

    Sig P226 9mm in Nickel? Anybody know anything about it?

    I have one of those... I've had a Sig P226 in factory electroless nickel for over 10 years. I bought it slightly used for $600 about 1998. It shoots well and is a very good looking gun. I believe it dates to the early 1990s. I would figure it might be worth $800 today.

    Duck's Feet, anyone?

    Comments It appears that the recoil might be substantial, with 8 barrels firing at once in what looks like .50 caliber. And the reloading might be slow in a muzzle loader with 8 barrels. I think you might use it when you are being rushed by a group of attackers, then throw it away after...

    Softest shooting semi-auto in a Significant Caliber?

    More weight, smaller caliber In general, the felt recoil with a particular type of ammunition goes down as the weight of the gun goes up. The other big factor in recoil is the ammunition load itself - ammunition with greater momentum (bullet mass times muzzle velocity) will recoil more in a...

    I need a stainless .44, help me choose...

    S&W 629 Classic, Ruger Vaquero I have two stainless .44 magnums and both have performed very well. They are a S&W 629 Classic with 5 inch barrel, and a Ruger Vaquero with a 7.5 inch barrel. I'd say the S&W has one of the best triggers I have felt on a revolver.

    Ruger 50th anniv. flattop 357 - worth it or waste of good $$?

    Feeling old... When Ruger does a 50th anniversary version of a gun you bought new 41 years ago, it makes you feel kind of old. I think I paid about $100 for my Ruger .357 Blackhawk in 1968 in a gun store in Annandale, Virginia. I have shot it over the years but it mainly resides in my safe.
