    696-1 & 15-4 range report

    Took my little friends with me to the range today. It was very nice out for the first day of March here in NH. I have to say that the 15-4 I picked up is sweet with a capital S! The trigger is just beautiful and the grips are not that bad, but they will look better with some nice Ahrends. I...

    Say hello to my little friends!

    Picked these up this morning. I have not cleaned them up yet. I paid $350 for the 696-1 and $325 for the 15-4. I am dying to shoot the 44Spl!! I need some nice wood grips for the 696-1!

    Problem with my 28-3?

    Okay, so I went to the range today with my recently acquired 28-3. I brought several .357 loads with me. I had some loads using Blue Dot, AA#5 and Titegroup. I used Sierra 158gr. JHC, Hornady 158gr. LSWC HP (THE BOMB FOR SURE!!!), and Hornady 158gr. HP XTP. All of my loads were accurate, but I...

    S&W 28-3 good deal?

    I have the chance to purchase a beautiful 4" 28-3 with original grips for $300. It locks up tight and the trigger is really smooth. I figured I am on a wheelgun frenzy so I should probably snatch it up. For those of you who own one, do you find it to be accurate? I plan on loading mostly .357...

    Anyone have a Sig P220 SAO?

    I just picked one up this morning for a relatively good price. I have been looking for one since they came out. For those of you who have one, what do you like about it the most? I measured the trigger pull on mine and it's 5lbs. 8oz, which is less than I though it would be. I like the feel of...

    Anyone carry a S&W Model 19 or Python in a shoulder rig?

    Since I don't carry any semi-autos anymore I am thinking about carrying my S&W Model 19 or Colt Python in a shoulder rig. Suggestions or feedback?

    Another S&W revolver I have been looking for!

    Stopped by the big gun store today to browse and say hello to a friend and I spied a mint S&W Model 19 2 1/2" barrel for $325. She is sweet for sure, smooth trigger and a very clean bore. She just needs to be cleaned and shined up some. Now I need to find me a Model 65! Tell me what you think!

    Shot my Python today and loved it!

    I got to the range today and shot my recently acquired Python. It was a balmy 15 degrees here in NH without the wind chill! Now I know why people love their Pythons so much. The balance is superb and the weight is perfect. The trigger on mine is super and I really like the way the trigger stacks...

    Looky looky what I found!!! (Python)

    I went to my local big outdoors store in Maine this morning to trade some stuff in. I went over to the revolver case and my mouth almost dropped. They were real busy behind the counter as usual so I sort of hovered over the case. About 1/2 hour later I was holding a Colt Python. Ohhhhhhhhhhh it...

    Got my Dan Wesson CBOB back today.

    I got it back from Dan Wesson today. They did a bunch of stuff to it including polishing and fitting the feed ramp better. I am taking it to the range with me tomorrow to shoot some Hornady 200gr. JSCW's. I really hope it does not crap out on me.

    My 686 range report

    I have not shot a 4" revolver in years so I was really excited about getting to the range today. I only had factory Magtech 158gr. FP's to shoot but I did not care. The trigger on this puppy is pure smoothness. Just for fun I set the target to about 18 yards to see what I could do. I think I did...

    Revolver suggestions needed

    Okay, so I have a Chief's Special, Model 22 Thunder Ranch, and my just purchased today Stainless 686 4". I am going to sell one of my 1911's and get another wheelgun, but I am not sure what to get. I really like the versatility of the .38/.357 caliber, but I also like shooting the 45 Auto Rim...

    45 Auto Rim loads

    I just got a S&W Model 22 Thunder Ranch and I really like it. I will like it even more once I get my Ahrends grips for it. What do you folks like for your 45 Auto Rim loads? Thanks in advance.

    Ordered a S&W Model 22 Thunder Ranch special

    Well, I have been thinking about it for about a week so I went ahead and ordered one. I should have it on Monday. Hopefully I will be able to get to the range on Tuesday. If anyone has one please let me know how you like it or dislike it. Thanks.

    Anyone shoot Rainier 200gr. Plated RN? (45ACP)

    I just got some Rainier 200gr. plated RN bullets. I can't seem to find any good load data for them. Does anyone use the same bullet in their .45's? Thanks.

    Harrington & Richardson Arms Company revolver

    My dad had someone give him the above mentioned revolver. The markings on the top of the barrel say Harrington & Richardson Arms Company Worcester Mass. Right below that it then says USA PAT MAY 14:89 APR.2:95 APR.7:96. Then on the left side of the barrel it says PREMIER 32 S. & W. CTGE. It is...

    Shot my Taurus Model 85 today

    Yesterday I did something I normally don't do. I bought a lightweight snubbie. I bought the Taurus Model 85. It was just so inexpensive I could not resist. I shot it today and the first thing I noticed was the amount of sharp snap to it. My other snubbie is a Chief's Special and the difference...

    Another Kimber?

    Well, I went to the range today and shot my new Pro CDP II. I am really impressed with the trigger and the feel of it. Here is one of my targets from my Kimber and my Dan Wesson. The shots that are scattered are from my Dan Wesson:mad: The 5 in the middle and the one on the edge of the...
