I'm currently looking at acquiring a CZ SP-01 Phantom, but I was wondering if anyone knew where to look for a threaded barrel that'll fit. Tried Jarvis, but it seems CZ nowhere to be found. Due to the lack of such parts, I wonder if the CZ-75 design not suppressor-friendly.

Great weather, good people, and lots of bullets that were sent downrange today, nothing could have ruined it except the explosive demise of my SAA clone's ejector assembly. On my tenth round in the Pietta .357/.38 (only shot .38 Wadcutters at this point) the ejector assembly sprang off and now...

I noticed the revolver forum has a sticky regarding how to check if a used handgun is a keeper or a lemon. Should there be a similar post for autoloaders? I'm asking because tomorrow is when I'm going to buy my first Sig P6, and was wondering about any advice about checking them out, since...

Now that I've satisfied my need for wheel guns, it's about time I add a reliable, inexpensive auto to my collection. I've got a dealer asking for $315 for a German Sig P6 with two mags. I'm considering the offer, but first a few concerns: Is the price fair? Availability of...

I'm currently looking at a nice 7 1/2 BH in .45 Colt and was wondering if, somewhere down the road, I could snag one of those convertible cylinders that'll allow it to shoot .45 ACP. At the moment I don't reload, so it would definitely soften up my ammunition cost in the long run...unless I...

So I've acquired a Pietta SAA clone, black-powder frame type. Heading off to the range tomorrow, with a report to follow shortly. The concern is that I've got an abundance of .38 Special 158gr SWC +P, clocking roughly around 900 fps, which I usually reserve for my S&W Model 28. My new...

So I've come across an unusual piece; a Pietta SAA-clone, black-powder type frame...except the barrel's been replaced with a Post-war Colt 5.5" barrel. Any comments on the quality of this Italian copy or the unusual mating of clone/authentic parts? I feel like picking it up solely for how...

For the six years that I've been shooting, starting from the humble air rifle all the way to automatic weapons, I've never really developed any rapport with the local range community, though it's public. Soaking up and spreading gun-lore, teaching young shooters the paramount of safety and...

So far, I've got a nylon shoulder holster, from Hunter's Joy no less, that houses an N-frame 6" with plans for another one my right side. I guess it'll be heavy, but comfortable. Anyone know a good direction for this sort of set up? ^_^;;;; I know this is ideal for the CAS orientated, but I...

Just got my Model 28 ('74-'77 manufacture) back from the store after they looked at a unrelated problem (binding cylinder=carbon buildup) and for the first time I noticed a distinct rattling noise inside the works. Opened up the sideplate carefully and discovered it still existed after removing...

So my brother suddenly got a fancy for the Single-Action Army, loves the design but hates to cough up the cash... Seeing as how a local gunshow is coming up tomorrow, I'm trying to persuade him to fulfill such a desire, though he's put a few criteria in place: 1. Inexpensive 2. Reliable...

After half a decade of various cleaning paraphernalia and junk lining my closet, I finally decided to invest in a complete cleaning kit. Just received my Otis Elite Cleaning Kit for $87 in the mail today, seems to have everything except the cliche kitchen sink stuff into one bag...even things I...

As mentioned in a previous post (see range report) my S&W 17 .22LR has 100% reliability in single action, though rather gritty, but the double action absolutely fails to dent the shells. Is the solution possible to achieve in the garage, or should I take it to my local gunsmith?

So just came back from the local range, an indoor hole-in-the-wall that became the testing grounds for two newly acquired items. Went with my brother as for second opinions and just to blast holes in various targets, so here's how it went: First on the bench was a S&W 17-4 I bought from...

Has anyone ever owned a Cimarron coach gun in 12 gauge? I've seen on at my local shop and has always been interested in the sxs variety, though I'm sure it'll need some custom work if I want a smoother action.

Any THR members in the Atlanta area? And if so, how often does such a group get together at the ranges around here?

Had the unique opportunity of a free afternoon today, so I decided to give my recently acquired Smith and Wesson 19-4 with a 4" barrel a test run. Went to the local indoor range and purchased three bulleye targets. The ammo I used today was on the lower end of velocity, three types of .38...

Now I've gotten a bug for the .22 Mag brother of my M17, but still feel like having the compatibility of a .22LR/.22 Mag combo. I've seen a few 48s, but the .22LR cylinders are no where to be found. Anyone got any leads? Much appreciated =]

It all started with the Model 19-4 I've currently got...now comes a S&W K17-4 in a few days and I've already got my eyes on the Highway Patrolman and a Model 10...hopefully my appetite is satisfied by the time I get to my fourth acquisition. As with seeing how they fill all the roles I want...

I have my eyes on a five-screw Smith and Wesson Model 10 with a pinned, pencil barrel, shooter condition. The gun shop has it listed as a C&R, so I was wondering how safe is it to shoot modern ammunition through it?
