    New/Used 1911 with Barrel Lug Wear

    Just bought a S&W 1911 Railed used and noticed a wavy wearing pattern on it when I bought it. Haven't fired it just yet because this was just yesterday. The price was STUPID good and I knew that the "Lifetime Warranty" should cover any mechanical issues. The gun is stock and has an unknown round...

    1911 Match Barrel Fitment and Finish (Pics Inside!)

    Hey there I have a concern about a gun that I have going in for some custom upgrades. I have a Springfield "Loaded" Champion that I plan on having the slide Melonited. Among other things I also am curious as to the potential accuracy of the barrel, as the gun shoots good, but not as good as...

    Best Finish for a Two-Toned 1911

    Hey everyone, I was curious for a project that I have coming up. I'm buying a Series 70 in carbon steel soon with an end in mind of a two-tone flavor. This is going to be a high end project that will be of heirloom mindset. There are so many options that I can't really find what is the best...

    Going to get a railed 1911 this year. Curious what the consensus is. These are all in the same price range so that's what I'm aiming for.

    New Slide on Champion Frame

    I was curious if I could mount a fullsize or commander size slide on my Stainless Loaded Champion. I would prefer to put a 5" Carbon slide because I like the look and would prefer a bushing barrel. I am aware that it would most likely cost as much as a new gun. But I am planning on starting a...

    Smith and Wesson 65 .357 magnum

    Last year, I found a LNIB model 65 at a local pawnshop. My wife noticed how much I oggled it and later went back and bought it for me. Well, I ended up shooting about 150 .38spc reloads that I made up for it and called it good. I took it out one day with .357 magnum and went to fire when I...

    Ultimate Handguns

    I was just thinking about the different categories of must have handguns. What's your idea of the ultimate incarnation to you, in each respective category. This has been done before. Just trying to get them all together in one. These categories should cover every application, so you can go off...

    Proving Service for Garand Purchase?

    In my other thread I was faced with the question between a Garand and an M70. I've decided on the Garand. However, I'm confused on how I can prove eligibility as it is Illegal to photocopy my CAC.

    My Last Rifle

    I'm calling it quits and plan on purchasing one final rifle. Almost all categories are covered and most times doubled over. I have over 40 firearms which is just a drop in the bucket to some but a lot for most people. I'm currently in the USAF and most likely will spend the next three years in...

    Sako L61R

    I found a used Sako L61R in 7mm Mag w/ leupold 3.5VX-III. It has what appears to be a factory muzzle break and a very pretty wood non laminate thumb-hole/skeleton stock. I understand this is an older rifle the gun is decent 90% condition and the scope is good for sure. I believe it's a 50mm...

    Nikon M 308

    I have a Loaded M1A and it's great with irons but I want to scope it to shoot it out to 300yds while hunting white tail and kind of doubling as a medium range paper puncher at 500yds. I'm considering the Nikon M308 and a Sadlak mount. Are there any other combos I should consider in the same...

    Python Velocity

    I was looking at the Ballistics by the inch website and I noticed the 6" python has unusually low velocities. Even compared to the snubbies! I own a 6" and while appreciate all the other merits of this gun. Accuracy, aesthitics, and appreciation of value of course. It makes me wonder why the...

    Smith 27-2 value?

    Co-worker has a 27-2 with a short bbl, maybe 3 1/2 or 4". Not familiar with the proportions of these N frames! I had to look at it in his trunk at work and didn't want to attract attention. Any how he's only asking 350.00 and I know these guns are very desirable. If I buy it, it probably be to...

    Sig 220 > < 226?

    Is the Sig 220 so close "mechanically" and "dimensionally" to the Sig 226 that their reliability is not compromised? I've never handled a 9mm/.357/.40 sig pistol, at least not disassembled. The reason I ask is because I just got a 220 and kind of like it. If this works out well I would like to...

    LCR 357/38 and LCR 22 parts interchangeability?

    I have an LCR in 357 that I really like and actually intended on buying a .22LR double action and I hear about this new LCR 22 coming out. I'm also anxious about spare parts. Ruger doesn't sell critical parts to the public right? Can these two interchange since the housing is polymer mold and...

    Should I have work done to a 98 year old 1911?

    I have a 1911 that my father gave me before he went to prison. Life sentence so he's still alive but won't be buying me anymore guns if he ever gets out. It's a Colt usgi gun that the serial #s put from 1913. The gun is in great shape and does not seem to have been shot very much no cracks...

    Top

    Well these lists pop up all the time, but usually contain 1 or 2 revolvers if that. Usually the SAA or the 29 and the Python. So lets make our own personal top five lists. I googled top ten revolvers of all time and found NOTHING. So lets get some opinions to work with. (please include barrel...
