    Ruger Redhawk 41 Magnum Snub

    Anyone laid hands on one yet? It's a Davidson's exclusive, it may not be catalouged. What's the general consensus of a 3" 41 mag? I prefer short barreled handguns and this looks too good to pass up.

    I have an 870 Express Tactical that I have been upgrading over the years. It has a bead on pedestal front sight. I am ready to address the sights. I was fine with the simple bead when I was only using buckshot, but am finding placing slugs accurately at range dificult. I was pretty sure I wanted...

    S&W Night Guard. 327NG Vs. 386NG

    386=24.5oz on an L Frame. 327=27.6oz on an N Frame. If you were to choose between these two for winter carry, would you choose the 327 or 386? Would you choose the smaller, lighter gun, and accept the 7rd capacity? Or would you go with the larger heavier gun to get the 8th rd?

    My First N Frame.

    Picked up my first N Frame yesterday, and thought I'd share. It's a 25-9 with a 6" barrel in 45 Colt. It's in amazing condition for a 18 year old gun, and I have a hard time finding evidence of it ever being fired more than a handful of times or carried at all. It came with a Galco Pheonix...
