Some of you may remember my post a while back about the sad Mdl. 19 that I traded for. Well the shop got it done sooner than expected, so I was able to pick her up yesterday. The pitting on the right side was worse than I originally thought, so I opted for their satin finish. It doesn't hide all...

I ran across this old girl (1971) at a somewhat local show last weekend. On the outside, it has the typical "patina" of a gun that sat in an underwear drawer in a house with no AC. I asked to take a closer look, and that's when the seller informed me that it "had some issues". It would only...

I call the grips I make my fith of whiskey and bottle of Xanax these days. It's great to just zone out and focus on something other than work and other stress inducing incidents. A new management group came in at work, so I've been making a lot of grips, lol. Anyway, thought I'd share a few that...

I'm a fan of Czech pistols, so I've been intrigued with the Alfa Proj. 9mm revolver since I first saw them a couple years ago. But not enough to pay retail for one. This RIA AL9.0 came available locally the other day, at a price that was very attractive, so it's now mine. The fit and...

A few months back I stopped in my local enabler's shop. He had this old, kinda ratty Marlin 60 on the back shelf. Of course to him it was in "near mint" condition, to which I repeatedly disagreed with. Long story short, $70 OTD, and it's been sitting on the bench while I tried to figure out what...

I've had a love/hate relationship with my Mini 14 580 series since getting it as a Christmas gift back in the early 2000s. I love the look and the way it handles. It's a decent shooter too - 2" groups at 100 yards is fine for me, with this rifle. My hate part is the trigger. Heavy, creepy and...

I couldn't pass this one up when it came available locally. An early ('71?) Dan Wesson Mdl. 15 "porkchop" 6" .357. I've felt for years that any serious wheel gun guy should have one, just for the history if nothing else. This one ain't perfect - a little freckling here and there and the faux...

Yesterday a friend gave me a call. He's been having a rough time this year - lost his job because of the virus, his dog died and his daughter was diagnosed with cancer. He said he had his dad's old .22 and wondered if I could give him an idea of what it was worth, because he really needed some...

I've been messing around with different HD shotguns for a few years and finally came to the conclusion that I just don't care for the plastic stocked guns. I want old school wood and metal, but something a little different than an 870 or 500. A '97 would be great, but anything in half decent...
