    Revolvers, fewer is more

    This thread is apropos for me. I traded several guns to get a gun just recently. One day about a month ago I was moving some things around in my safe and there were several guns that I really had no love for any longer. When I feel disdain or regret over a thing I remove that thing from my life...

    Henry Big Boy X Model - High Grin Factor!

    Some still do and will continue to do so. That’s okay. There are lever guns for everyone’s tastes. ;)

    Henry Big Boy X Model - High Grin Factor!

    I have wanted a Henry Big Boy X model since I first read about them. I wanted one in .45 Colt. My LGS had a brand new one for a while. They were asking $989.00 for it. When I decided to get it, it was gone. Probably a good thing. My bike needed tires and maintenance. Anyway, a used X model...

    New S&W Heavy Duty

    I prefer fixed sights as well. I don’t adjust sights to the ammo. I tailor my ammo to the gun and the sights. In the case of my model 10 I use a 6 O’clock aim to hit where I want with the best grouping, most consistent, accurate loads from that gun. I will adjust my sights that are adjustable...

    Conundrum (mixed feels)

    Add me to the “try the .44 Spl” list and perhaps a different grip. Also, if you ever get into reloading you can tailor .44 Magnum loads to a power level you can shoot comfortably. I am with you on the macho BS and heavy recoil @Whiskeyhotel2020

    Bayonet on rifle? Yes or No?

    I have one as well. I only fixed it to my M1 once just to see how it fit. I had a Chinese and a Russian SKS that had attached bayonets. The Chinese model had a spike bayonet. The Russian model had a blade bayonet. I do miss that Chinese SKS. It was darned accurate for an assembly line weapon...

    Henry .357 revolver in the wild

    My LGS had 4 of them. 2 birdshead and 2 standard grip. They were gone when I was there this past Saturday. I had a chance to handle them when they came into stock a while back, but I declined. I didn’t need the temptation. ;)

    New S&W Heavy Duty

    Comparing photos of the model 27 and the Heavy Duty I must say I like the lines of the HD more. These photos are from Smith & Wesson’s website and displayed together using Mematic. https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/n-frame-150339...

    New S&W Heavy Duty

    That is one great looking revolver. Congratulations! Perhaps I’m a bit dense but why is the gun, essentially a model 27 without adjustable sights, priced $300 more than a model 27? Is it because it’s 4.5 ounces lighter?

    Pistol caliber carbines - why didn’t I know?

    Well, I was going to start a new thread but since this is about a new to me Pistol Caliber Carbine that I just picked up this morning I will go ahead and post it here. I bought a used Henry Big Boy X model .45 Colt for $750 this morning. My LGS had a new one a while back for $989, but at the...

    Friends and guns

    I only have one friend that I would trust with my guns and the same would go for him, I’m sure. Unfortunately, we do not live close enough to each other any more so it has been quite a while since we’ve gotten together. Cherish your friends. :)

    Pistol caliber carbines - why didn’t I know?

    I hope you never encounter a mob attack. I have several 33 fun sticks. I have yet to actually use them. I should break them in soon. :cool: Thanks for your info on the drum mag. I should probably get one and try it out.

    M&P .38 143xxx Strange Color $699?

    A gun is only worth what you’re willing to pay. I didn’t vote as I don’t pretend to know about bluing and what is original vs reblued. Price wise, I would look at the technical aspects of it to see how tight and in spec it is. If I liked it and had the money, maybe I would buy it. The color...

    Pistol caliber carbines - why didn’t I know?

    Did you get the Magpul drum? I have been wondering how reliable they are.

    Stole a heritage series S&W, show us yours.

    Dang, Man! Get yourself some lottery tickets too! That revolvers a beauty too! Congratulations. 😊

    Revolver trivia time: Name the maker and model.

    The pull back cylinder release was an improvement? 😜😁

    New Blue Python - GOT ONE

    I didn’t realize the new Colts had QR codes on them. I went searching and found an image of one on a stainless Colt Python. It’s not as obnoxious as the one that came on the Marlin 1894 (Remington) that I had. That was one gun that just annoyed me. I traded it off. The Colt QR code sure...

    I tried to ignore this, but darn it, somebody had to buy it...

    I think I need to try that. Do you also include extra special attention to your wife while whining or do you go the “time will wear her down” route? 😆 This and the way it looks would have gotten my attention. Congratulations on a marvelous revolver. I love those grip panels. I know they...

    Very strange experience, and a nice S&W.

    You can find a limited supply of the strap type lanyard rings on eBay. The one that came on my gun was round or circular. I prefer the looks of that one. I did a search looking for the round ones and could only find them for Nagants and Pietta Colt clones.
