    Man, I really like both of my 1895 Russian Nagant wheelguns, but I wish the mainspring was not so stiff ! Does anybody know where I can find a customized main/trigger spring that would allow me to fire it double action ? I've tried Wolff and Numrich, but no luck.

    My Next Mouse Gun : Fact and Fiction ?

    First of all, I'd like to say I'm leaning toward a Taurus 738 TCP .380 ACP. The Truth About Guns gives an apparently good backing. What's not to like? Lightweight, concealable, $200, reliability (per TTAG), proven effective caliber! My only question is , does it have "double strike"...

    When I've been in need of gun parts in the past, I would always get in touch with Numrich Gun Parts. Nowadays they are often out of stock, contrary to " the good old days ".

    I have owned both. Each have their plus and minus points. Good and bad, not to mention the ugly. Plenty of differences to make a good discussion.
