I had one of these pistols and loved it. My only gripe with it was that Interarms went belly up and the prices went up on them so much that I couldn't afford to keep it. Then, after selling it, I could never find another one in the same shape. So I got a Smith & Wesson 659 and ended up liking it...

The barrels are inserted into the barrels using a process called crush fitting. That means it's inserted into the frame very tightly. Loc-tite won't do it as others have said. Any tighter and the barrel will separate. Any looser and it's not going to stay no matter what you use. It'll eventually...

No, Skeeter never got drunk enough that he would deface a good handgun like a Speed-Six. It was a COMBAT HANDGUNS writer. Wonder where that gun is today? (BTW, Sketter and Bill Jordan were two of my favorite writers. I have two of Skeeter's books, which I've kept in mint condition. They're worth...

The old Model 36/60s are capable of +P ammo, though you can find standard ammo that works fine in self defense situations. I used some of the federal loads a friend who was a Treasury agent gave me. I have a stainless 3-inch Rossi Model 88, and a Model 36 and a Model 60 (both 2-inchers). Years...

Years ago, a gun writer wrote an article about how he converted a perfectly good Ruger Speed-Six .357 6-shot revolver to a 5-shot .44 Special. It was one of the most lame-brained enterprises I'd ever seen and I could never figure out why he would do it. To my way of thinking, the .357 waa a...

I've talked to many people who shot +P out of their 1968 Model 36 S&W recovers. Ditto with their Model 60s (older model) and their Rossi 88s. I don't know any who have shot their guns loose with factory ammo. I would never shoot +P+ out of any of them, but some people will shoot anything that...

I've got an older model Ruger Charger and wanted to add an inexpensive optic. But I don't know what kind of rail it comes with or whether an OTW green/red dot system would work well or whether it's better on on the 10/22. Are the rails on the Charger/10-22 the same outta the box? I'm also...

The 10mm is a powerhouse, but have you ever thought of just simplifying things and going with a .357 Magnum? I thought the 10mm was a great idea when it came out, but the whole idea was to create a .357 in an autopistol. The .40 S&W didn't cut it, so the 10mm was developed. But it's expensive...

One of the most popular guns that isn't drop-proof was the Raven .25acp. But it could be anything. What happened after this unfortunate incident? Lawsuit? Arrest? I'd never buy a gun that wasn't drop-proof, even though I've never dropped a gun. People are people and gravity is gravity. And...

Ruger LCR or SP-101 .357 Mag. Both are exceptional guns.

I really don't want to create any "passion" on this response, but Glocks, in my view, are expert's guns. And it's the last gun I would be comfortable carrying. If one carefully obeys the cardinal rules of gun handling, one most likely will never have a problem. BUT, and this is the issue...

Coming in in the middle of the discussion, what really soured the pot in handgun stopping power, in my view, was the 158-200 gr. loads of the .38 Special from the 1920s to the 1940s. Most of us have heard of the case of the New York Police Sergeant who emptied his service revolver into a man who...
