Does anyone have any experience with this gun? I saw one while browsing through a Rock Island Auctions catalog and it just... caught the eye. Apparently they're about 2-3k in decent condition and fire a cartridge nearly identical to 9mm largo. I think this might be the first "collecting" bug...

I've got a browning auto 5 in 12ga with a 28" barrel that I'm wanting to cut to something a little more multipurpose with a 20" barrel. The browning I have has the stippled receiver, lack of half moon disassembly cut and different stock that seems to indicate that this is one of the Remington...

This one's partially for Guillermo, who was wondering exactly how truthful Buffalo Bore's claims of massive velocity is. I admit, I was skeptical of their heavy .357 claims too so I picked up a box and waited for a time to go to the range. I finally got time to go to the range, and carted along...

So, I picked up a nice colt Trooper MKIII at the last gun show after trading off a colt 1093 pocket hammerless. There's some pitting and signs that the butt got damp at some point but considering the condition of the rest of the gun (it's 100% if you ignore the last 2" of butt, absolutely...

I've got a GP 100 with apparently the older style grip locator pin and the old style grips (which are damaged beyond use, I'd love to know what the previous owner did with this gun). So I picked up a hogue for it to wear while I figure out what I really want to hold onto. Lo and behold, I...

So, I am temporarily without a magnum revolver since I sold my S&W 19-3 as a trade for my wife's carry gun. After two range trips I realize I miss having a magnum revolver of some kind. Primary use of this gun is going to be range duties, with some bedside use and maybe winter carry...

I've got a nickeled 19-4 2 1/2" that measures barely .001 on the cylinder gap. There's absolutely no endshake and the cylinder is quite tight on the other end as well. I want this gun as a carry gun, it's a perfect fit and my only reservation is that the cylinder starts to bind within 20...

I've got a close friend who is legally blind who I took shooting for the first time earlier today. After figuring out that he was unable to see the front sight on a handgun but was able to make out the target as a dark area (used a shoot n see for maximum visibility on a white backdrop), I...

Why hasn't S&W pushed the 5 shot L frame concept farther and introduced a .41 magnum or 10mm 5 shot L frame? Both seem to be a way to reach low end 44 magnum power while keeping it in the L frame for concealability.

Ok, I've got a serious lust for one of these little guns after handling one in .32 ACP. I'm really seriously considering buying one that's seen better days and having it hard chromed or nickeled as a carry piece. Are there any problems with these guns that I should be aware of, any quirks or...

I recently picked up a box of their 158 grain SWCHP +P's (advertised as 1000 fps!) and they've got a really aggressive crimp where the metal of the casing has been "scratched" from the pressure. It's not a roll over like I'm used to seeing on a .357 or .38. Is this normal or do I have a...

A friend recently picked up a US Camillus marked bayonet and we're curious as to the probable use/age of the knife. Is this a US issue weapon or is it something else entirely? Any information or direction to information would be welcome. The blade is 6 7/8" long and a little over 1/4" thick...

I recently picked up a very nice 2 1/2" P&R 19-4 in nickel. Cosmetically it had a few issues but it locks up nice and tight and has a super slick trigger. Today I took it to the range and after ~30 shots I ran a few Hornady 158 grain XTP .357's through it. On the third one it bound up tight...

I've been looking for a pair of concealable grips for a 642 that extend all the way to the top of the "hump", preferably in something hard. I have very large hands and the corners of the hump bite into the web of my hand pretty fiercely after 50 rounds or so. Are there any that do this or am...

I recently picked up a pair of wilson combat blued 8 round 1911 magazines from cheaper than dirt and I have a few questions. Should the follower slide out the front of the magazine tube with such little provocation? It's moving forward enough that I have to double check each time I load the...

I just picked up a new CRKT Graham Razel as my first fixed blade and I gotta say, I'm really impressed, especially at a ~50 dollar pricetag. The edge wasn't exactly great from the factory but a careful job with my DMT hones put a nice shaving edge on the long side and a more blunt chisel edge on...
