I used to have a pretty high tolerance for recoil. I have previously shot some "big" caliber guns: A Rigby .470 Nitro Express double rifle which had a real sizable "push" but wasn't a particularly sharp "hit" to the shoulder you knew that something really big came out the other end. I also shot...
Magtech .38 Special - Two complete misfires and one squib that lodged in the barrel of my Colt OMM. Luckily, I was able to extract the bullet without any further damage.
Funny that there are many more NIB Pythons today than there were 10 years ago. What's the point? An "investment?" I own several Colt revolvers, all of which are worth a LOT more than 10 years ago. They all get shot. I sure as heck am not going to leave an unfired gun to my heirs. This "snake...
My "best" - or "favorite" is my 1957 Colt Model 3-5-7. The gun has a single action trigger that is the very best I've ever experienced. They didn't make too many of these and collectors have discovered them and because of their quality and scarcity, are getting pretty expensive. I still shoot it...
The trigger on a MkIII can't be modified. It's a "get what you get" proposition. Some are pretty rough, others can actually be quite good. The cast pieces (MIM) can't be smoothed out because the hardened surfaces are very thin. I have a MkIII that has a reasonably good trigger and it has proven...
This is an often overlooked revolver. Not many were produced and they're getting more valuable every day. Think of it as a Python without the barrel shroud. If you are going to use yours as a shooter, you might consider changing the grips as the full checker grips have become incredibly...
I own two Colts:
A Mk III 6" Blue Trooper (1975)
A 4" Blue Model 357 (1957)
The model 357 is often referred to by many as a "pre-Python." I actually prefer it over the snake guns. It's action is all hand-fitted and finish is beautiful.
I ride a BMW RT sport touring bike. I have equipped it with a tank bag that has a quick access pocket on it. I think it was designed for holding toll $$ and such, but now it's home for my S&W model 36. I really like the bag and use it to hold what normally goes in my pockets as well (wallet...
Anti? I don't really know their politics. I would call Dick's hypocritical, however, because though they do not sell handguns, they do sell ammunition for handguns.
Their "specials" are really not that special. Example: A so-called special on Remington 12 gauge target loads is advertised in...
I currently own both: A BHP MKIII and a CZ 75B. In terms of accuracy and reliability, they are equal. Neither have ever misfed or stovepiped and are capable of shooting better than their owner. The differences really come down to fit and features. The CZ, as some posters have observed is...
I own both.
They are similar in layout, but very different guns all the same. The BHP is slimmer and is finished to a higher degree than the CZ. An earlier post mentioned the BHP trigger and magazine safety. Mine has had the safety removed and the trigger is excellent now. BTW - the CZ does...
