Anyone tried one of these revolver holsters from Hoffner's?

Anyone know the web site address for the guy who specializes in Colt and S&W snubbies for sale? Thanks, JW

Anyone ever tried one of these? Comments pro and con very much appreciated. JW

It seems to me that the majority of us who own, collect, shoot or just plain admire semi-auto handguns have lumped Star pistols into the POS, Saturday Night Special, El-Cheapo catagory. Nothing could be farther from the truth. As famed gun scribe Stephan A. Camp says, "Star handguns are...

I have the oportunity to purchase a really good looking Rossi polished stainless steel, 6 shot, snubby revo, in .357Magnum for a very attractive price. The piece appears to be like new and shot very little. I know that Rossi and Taurus are very close cousins. I have owned Taurus revos in the...

This is probably old news to those of us who are pistol packin' Old Salts but this forum is also for educating the nubbies amongst us. Just thought I'd pass along some (not everything) of what I've learned over the past 50 years about carrying a small revolver. First thing to remember is that...

I'm having a rough time convincing myself that I should buy this new S&W Model 60 in .357Magnum. I'm no nuby to guns, 30 years in the military and I've carried a piece everyday for the past 20 years. My normal carry has been one of Mr Gaston's perfect pieces. Other from time "In Country", I...

Anyone know if there are night sights available for the newer Taurus PT111's with the dovetails cut into the slide? The brand name "Heinie" appears on the rear sight. If in fact these are common Heinie's I wonder if some of their's will fit?

I have an older blued Colt Detective Special. The blue finish is not worn or scratched, it's just a little dull looking. Anyone know of a polish that is safe to use that will bring back some of the shine and not remove the bluing? Thanks, JW

Will a 20 Gauge be adequate for a home defense gun? I have the chance to buy an 18" Mossy pretty reasonable. JW

With all the devistating hurricanes tearing up the Gulf Coast, I've decided to get a shot gun for home defense against looters and pray I never need it. I have aquired a new Remington Express Magnum 12 guage with 18" barrel, two round mag extention and a Speed Feed Stock which holds four extra...

Anyone know a trick to removing the side plate from an older S&W J-frame revo? This revo's side plate is so finely machined it does not budge with very gentle prying, I'm afraid to pry it too hard for fear of scratching. This piece is about 14 years old and I doubt the side plate has ever been...

Can I legally sell a handgun to a person who is not a US citizen but is a legal, card carrying immigrant over age 21?

I'm really looking into a home defense shotgun. I'm curious what gauge is really adequate. I know that a 12 gauge alley sweeper is what most folks opt for BUT what if your wife is a smallish 63 year old? God forbid she should ever need to use it, the recoil of the 12 gauge would make a follow...

I recently purchased a new Taurus PT145 Millenium Pro. I'm an old gun handler and presently have several to choose from. I "fondled" the pistol in the gun shop and it really felt just right to me. At $298 for a stainless one it was a bargain and I thought it would make a good glove box gun...

Could someone please give me a date of manufacture for a recently aquired nickle plated S&W 37-2. Serial number is BFZ 02XX. Thanks very much for your time. JW

I have my eye on a used Colt Defender at the local gun shop, I'm not sure of the year of manufacture. A couple of questions. I have heard/read that some Colt compact .45acp's are not really great guns. True or false? This one has a stainless slide and I'm guessing that the frame is alloy...

When one lives in the southern end of Florida, the uniform of the day is shorts, cotton shirt (or "T" shirt) and sandals. I find that my favorite carry guns, either a G26 or a S&W Model 60, are a little too bulky to conceal satifactorily. When carried IWB they tend to generate sweat and skin...

Can someone please recommend a home defense load for an 18" barrel 12 gauge? Thanks, JW

I see on the Cor-Bon website that they are offering their ammo with Barnes X bullets. I know that Barnes makes outstanding bullets for hunting but I am unfamilier with their product in a commercially available pistol cartridge. Cor -Bon offers their DPX 38SPL +P with a 100 gr Barnes X bullet...
