This is the Colt King Cobra Target .22, I picked up in early January of this year. To date it's been 100% reliable and superbly accurate. But after 200+ rounds I just wasn't happy with the fiber optic front sight nor the Colt supplied rear. The first for its lack of precision in slow fire, and...

Just an update on my Springfield SA-35 which I picked up in mid-September. Of the three BHP's I current own (two Brownings in 9mm and .40 S&W, plus the new SA-35), the Springfield is the most accurate. Groups shot with both American Eagle 124 gr FMJ as well as my better handloads running an...

Lately, I've been reacquainting myself with an old friend from a decade plus ago...a Smith M-629, .44 Magnum. It's been quite awhile since I spent range time with a heavy .44 and with moderate loads like Skelton's famous 240 gr LSWC at 950 fps, this Smith is fun to shoot. I got to thinking...

I've been busy this past cpl weeks working on some gun leather for my sons. Here's the trio so far...with one more still to complete. The leather is all vegetable tanned...better on the finish of a blued gun than chrome tanned hides. I line them as well with lighter weight material and use...

Graduating college in '68, our rifle team coach gave me a Marlin Mountie that he and our team gunsmith had worked over especially for me. A great gift and one that I treasured for it's accuracy, compact size and the memories it brought back of the team. Later as a Dad, I gave it to my first son...

Recently, on a quest for a good, day in, day out, night in, night out, .357 load, I found a series of posts here and elsewhere recommending 6.0 grains of Unique behind a good 158 gr LSWC. The sheer number of replies, espousing that combination got my attention and I was interested enough to give...

Took some pics of my pair of Model 41 Smiths, this morning. Pictured are three barrel lengths: 7-3/8", 5-1/2" heavy target, and the rarely seen 5-1/2" field barrel with it's red insert Baughman front sight. Of the three, I shot Bullseye 50' indoor matches with the 5-1/2" heavy target while in...

Here are some chronograph results for part of my stash of .22 LR in my Smith Model 18-3. Shown are the round, the claimed muzzle velocity, then my chrono results: velocity and extreme spread over 5 rounds. Before you ask, the accuracy winner, from a Weaver Stance and 15 yds is a 3-way tie...
