Hi Everyone, I wanted to share a picture here for help identifying the revolver in this photo.This is a photograph of my direct ancestor which I scanned from a back issue of Military Images (Volume XXVII Number 5, March/April 2006). I have been doing a lot of genealogical research after taking...

I recently sold off a Taurus TCP .380 after successive failures to feed anything except FMJ reliably, and now I would like to replace it. My first TCP was stolen and had more reliable feeding which prompted me to purchase a second one. Taurus has always treated me decently but I'm ready to move...

Is it normal for a brand new Ruger lcr .38 to have very shallow rifling? I am surprised how shallow it is but have not read anything that indicates similar reports or issues. It has only been factory fired for now so nothing to report. We plan on shooting lead and I know anecdotally that shallow...

The woman in my life decided to buy her first firearm and enroll in a ccw course. She chose a Ruger sp101 2 1/4" barrel. I tried to steer her towards the LCR as a gun that would be more easily carried, came with a great trigger from the factory, and had no hammer to snag, but it's not my...

I have read conflicting reports on these guns regarding their trigger pull and weight. Some people have written that the DA trigger is lousy but in the videos I've seen it doesn't look bad at all. Some say that the PCR actually has an improved trigger over the standard models. Also, a video on...

The mainspring in my Pietta Colt 1851 Navy broke while dry firing the gun (cylinder removed) and I'd like to know the best place to buy a replacement. So far I have only seen the $25 kit at Cabella's and my bookmarks are short on blackpowder websites. Perhaps they can be found cheaper elsewhere...

This is surely preaching to the choir but I wanted to share my recent thoughts and experiences with my first attempts at doing my own gunsmithing, if indeed it can be called that. I have not been shooting long and have no mechanical aptitude. My hands are clumsy and there are many delicate...

I am ordering a pack of new of Wolf springs for my Baby Eagle and decided to try out one of their power rib mainsprings for my S&W 67 at the same time. I see that they also offer extra power cylinder stop springs and would like to know what possible improvement this could provide. I do...

I purchased two faded boxes of CCI Blazer 158gr +p swc .38 special off the shelf of a gun store and was well impressed after shooting a box of it. I don't have a chronograph but my hand tells me that these rounds were cooking along quite nicely from my S&W model 67. They had much more recoil and...

I recently purchased a CZ-52 with both a 9mm and 7.62X25 barrel, but the 7.62 barrel is missing a roller and the bore looks very smooth. The barrel is almost a mirror finish without any pitting but the grooves look extremely shallow. I have not shot the gun yet but would like to know from...

I shipped my Taurus model 96 ('88 manufacture) back to the factory for a broken firing pin around the 2nd week of October. Today it was returned to me, free of charge, in about 6 weeks total time. Although I did not hear back from them until a few weeks after the gun had been shipped, this was...

I want to purchase a blackpowder substitute locally, avoiding hazmat fees, but no one in the area carries finer powder then FFg. My Colt 1851 is brass framed and I am not making any attempts to hot rod the pistol. I am just looking for a standard load with fair power and accuracy for plinking...

I recently acquired a Pietta made Colt 1851 Navy in .44 and have put 3 cylinders through it with borrowed equipment. It's my first blackpowder gun and I know that steel frame would be best but I got this in a trade and am quite happy with it as such. If I enjoy shooting blackpowder I'll probably...

*Originally posted 9/12* I was just dry firing my M67 with fired brass cases when the trigger and hammer locked up. I was able to open the cylinder and noticed that the protruding part of the slide stop will not go down entirely, thus locking up the system. The revolver was returned to the...

The firing pin on my Taurus 96 broke off and I would like to ship it back for warranty repair work. I've called every carrier in town and neither UPS nor FedEx will accept the pistol for shipping even though I pointed out in their own policies that it was acceptable. Even if you try to play by...

9mm Baby Eagle - First Impressions After weeks of research and handling dozens of handguns my deliberation ended with the purchase of a 9mm Baby Eagle. I have never owned a semi-auto before and have only fired a few magazines from various pistols. Nothing that can be considered real experience...

CDNN is inconveniently out of the $10 10rd baby eagle mags and I'd like to know if there are other options available for me. I'd prefer full size mags but wouldn't mind 10 rounders for range use (not that carry is an option). It seems like there is a way to change part of the gun to accept...

Help with gun identification This gun has been in my girlfriend family for awhile, but she cannot identify it. I don't know anything about the gun or what markings it may have, but I'm hopinh someone here can help us identify the firearm and it's caliber. I have not seen the gun in person...
