"Big Bore Revolvers" is the one. I was not aware of the Ruger Revolver one until you asked the question and I went to Amazon. Not to the point of getting a revolver tattoo, but that book might push me over the edge. Bob

Max, many thanks for the write up. I'm actually lusting over the Ruger Super Blackhawk 6.5" Bisley in 480 Ruger you reviewed in American Hunter (wish it was 5.5"). Want. Have your book. Good stuff.

Scratches multiple itches Reloading, ballistics, calibers, NFA, flying, motorcycles, second amendment, government overreach, FREEDOM. I like S&W 29's. And 20 MM HE (from a former Vulcan gunner). Holy crap.

I got mine in '76 to carry as a police officer. Same problem (cylinder binding with a diet of 38 wadcutters), same solution.

Off topic per handgun purchase laws pre 1968, but interesting as far as mail order sales of rifles/shotguns. Take a look at the old Christmas catalogs at http://www.wishbookweb.com/ Oldest Sears Christmas catalog there is from 1937. 1962 Sears mail order catalog, pg 275 has Springfield '03's...

The press tends to wander off when trying to appear knowledgable on firearms. They also can act as an echo chamber. If you are referring to the recent San Bernardino shooting, there was some confusion as to the function of the California-mandated bullet button. I watched commentator Gregg...

I had it at Ft Polk in early 1972. I remember they handed me a BB-rifle and someone tossed cans into the air. As I had spent the previous 10 years of my life with a similar BB gun shooting about anything I could find, sans sights, I had no problem. Later on doing the live fire pop-up...

The Reata in Alpine has "calf fries". They come with good gravy. Yum. I knew what they were, ordered some for the wife and me. She smacked her lips until I told her what they were. I finished them.

West Texas - 1970. I was on the school ROTC rifle team. The range was under the football stadium and you could hear the reports in the stands when we practiced. This is a time when they were selling Spanish war surplus 7mm mausers stacked in barrels at Kmart (I bought one) and brought it to...

Wisdom.

Yup, she'll try to make the right noises to get into office, then veer left. I found the comments from Heather Wilhelm, more interesting. Heather is a Chicago transplant that got "the heck out of Dodge". "In Davis’s world, sad stories abound; people tend to be victims. Guns, on the other...

Please PM the code. Much thanks, guys.

Hi Leon, Shoots, but won't feed well from the magazine. I load 'em one at a time. The wadcutter rounds are 148 grain, seated flush. Accuracy within a pie plate at 50 yards. Louder. In true hillbilly fashion, I have been shooting them inside, past open sliding glass doors in the living room...

When I got the 77/357, it was based on utilitarian motives. I already had 357 in the house and I had the reloading ability for such. After shooting it, reloading for it from mild to wild, and carrying it around, I have decided I scored. A blind hog got an acorn. Cat sneeze loads do not...

More Heinlein: "The police of a state should never be stronger or better armed than the citizenry. An armed citizenry, willing to fight, is the foundation of civil freedom." "Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark." "Love your country, but never trust its...

I grew up reading Heinlein. Still do. From Robert Anson Heinlein's works: “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” “Remember though, your best weapon is between your ears and under your scalp -provided it's loaded.”...

Thank you, Ted Cruz I laud Senator Cruz for his pushback on the proposed numbnutz legislation from blue states and have written to him in thanks. On this gun-friendly site (and others) there has been a lot made of Texas not wanting individuals trying to relocate from blue states --- some...

It got me for a moment, too. It would have been better to put the last sentence first in that paragraph.

Congressman Carter doesn't want new laws, just to remind owners to be proactive in keeping their firearms out of the hands of those that shouldn't have 'em.
