Anybody got a North American Arms Mini-22 revolver with the belt buckle? The big rodeo champion belt buckle that is. I've wanted one since I first heard of them many years ago. Actually had one for a while, but I was doing a lot of trading back then and someone wanted it more than I did. I...

I have been very pleased with my Taurus 327 with the 2" barrel. Nice gun, but when I saw they made a 3' version, I thought I might like one just as a plinking gun, maybe with just 32 Smith and Wesson Long, which I've started to reload, so I picked this one up yesterday. I haven't shot it yet...

This one has been hanging around the case for a while, looking lost in with all the "kids" of the revolver world. I knew it was a greybeard, even older than I am by the stocks, the bulb on the end of the ejector rod, and the fact that it didn't have even "Made in USA" on the right side plate...

A Taurus 327 Magnum, shooting 32 Smith and Wesson Long with 85 grain bullets is a fun. Just a little more snap than a 22 LR. Shooting 327 Magnum, Hornaday "Critical Defense" 85 grain FTX, is a pretty snappy little number (recoil wise). But they can't hold a candle to a 220 grain Berry's...

I hate to lose brass. Especially revolver brass. I spent 30 minutes yesterday looking for a piece I dropped while resizing. I felt it hit my leg, but never heard it hit the floor. It just vanished into the ether. I figured it was gone for good. Then last night, before I went to bed, I...

The Model 28-2 is a helluofagun. This is sort of a range report I suppose. I don't have pictures of targets to go along with it, but I took my 28-2 to the range with me yesterday along with 110 wadcutter loads (148 DEWC Berry's over Win 231) and 50 rounds of starting level 357 magnums (158...

I saw this one this morning at the LGS. It's a Colt Official Police, 38 Special, with a 5" barrel, from by the S/N and Proofhouse, 1948. It appears to be unfired outside the factory. Nothing in the barrel or the chambers except dust. Not a mark on the recoil shield. Just the slightest bit...

That would be my wife. It's her fault. We stopped at the LGS yesterday to pick up the K-22 I had on layaway. While we were waiting I noticed a little waife over in the corner of the case, looking lonely and ignored. I had no idea what it was, but I could actually read the tag this time...

Stopped by the LGS a day or two ago. I'm not looking for anything, just dropping in. There in the case is something I don't recognize right off the bat. It's a K-frame Smith and Wesson with a 6" barrel, but I can't read the tag (which is always turned so I can't). I ask to see it "just out...

I thought I'd dress up the 686 with a set of Altamont "Ropers" I've had in a box O stuff for several years. I'd put them on when I first got the gun, but swapped them back to try the stock rubber grips. This time I'm going to try these out at the range and see how they do. They don't look too...

Well, not really "yesterday," I just got it out of layaway yesterday. It's hard to believe, as long as the 686 has been around, and as many guns as I've had over the years, I've never owned one. I think it was as much marching to a different drummer as anything else. I mean everybody and his...

I was at my local pusher's yesterday, and noticed a 642-2 in the case. I'm not a big J-frame fan, but thought it might be a good idea to get something really light for carry, since my back isn't getting any better these days. My question though is about those stocks. Anybody ever seen a set...

I'm not sure the official name, but I recently bought a Taurus Tracker 44, that has a ported barrel. (Duhhhhh...ports) I haven't even fired the gun yet, but was wondering if anyone has an idea about how to plug those ports? I was thinking tapping the holes and screwing in some kind of plug...

You ever buy a gun, then realize you had one just like a few years back that you don't remember at all? I put a Taurus Tracker, 5 shot, 44 Magnum on layaway a few days ago, then doing some checking around on the forums about them, I find out that I had one almost exactly like it about four...

A couple of months ago I got a Taurus G-3, T.O.R.O. (Taurus Optic Ready Option) 9mm. I'm happy to report that through about 400 rounds or so, it's performed perfectly. Ball or a couple of different types of hollow points, factory or reloads, doesn't seem to matter. No malfunctions, hits about...

I saw this one stuck in the back of the case at the LGS not too long ago. I've been a fan of these for some time, but have never actually owned one in 357, so I had it stuck in the back in the layaway bin that I'm sure just has my name on it. A Model 15, Dan Wesson, with a 4" barrel, in 357...

So, anybody have any first hand experience with a Colt 2000? They've got one at my LGS, with two magazines that sort of interests me. I was around when Colt tried these things, and don't think there was ever a bigger bomb, at least not it my lifetime. I don't think there was a single good...

As most of these stories start off, my wife was involved. I'm on one side of the handgun kiosk, she's on the other. I see her motioning..."come here." So I go on around, and she asks her favorite question..."What's that?" Well, "that" turned out to be some kind of Baby Browning sorta...

I bought a Taurus the other day. It was on sale, and I had a couple of store gift cards that dropped the price to around $225.00 so I figured I had nothing to lose really. I've never owned a Taurus semi before, but I'm somewhat a sucker for guns with a bad reputation. The gun in question is a...

I've long been a fan of the Beretta 84/Browning BDA 380. I know...I know...too big/heavy for a 380...You can get a 9mm the same size, 380 blowbacks kick as hard or harder than most 9mm's, blowback 380's have heavy springs making it hard to rack the slides, 380 ammo costs more than 9mm,... yada...
