You’ll forgive the lack of period cav props for this photoshoot. I was Infantry, not cav, so I have no spurts or Stetsons about for photos. But I slide my H&R 1873 cav model trapdoor in as a bonus. I read an article a couple of months ago in, I believe, Handgunner Magazine which featured...

Here are a couple of Rugers that made their way home to me recently. We have a Redhawk and a Blackhawk. Oddly, these are my first Ruger made revolvers. I had identified a hole in the collection that needed to be filled long ago and the right deal finally made its way to me. The price was...

I finally got around to trying to make the Swedish wooden training ammo I bought from J&G Sales cheaply, some time back, into useful ammo. Ultimately I ended up with cases loaded with 2400 and 125g and 140g cast lead coated bullets that I’m excited to give a whirl later this week. I took some...

Forgive the long post ladies and gents, but it will give you something to read as this week draws to an end and you sip on something tonight. PSA has recently introduced a copy of the Norinco Type 56 dubbed the “Spiker.” I was lucky enough to snag one that they had in stock on their website...

Since so much heresy was called about my last post regarding competing name brands being represented together I thought I would have another go at it! Ah crud, I screw it up again! Anyway, here we have a Model 28, no dash, that I picked up in early December. It was freckled with light surface...

I've started 2023 off on an aggressive note. I picked up a new Colt 6" Anaconda and a S&W Model 29-2 8 & 3/8". And they are sweeeet shooters.

I was late jumping on the CMP 1911 train and saw around the second week of September that they were accepting applications, so I merrily filled out my application and sent it in regular snail mail. I received an email from them on 03 OCT that I had been assigned my randomly generated number...

Good morning all. A few days ago I happened across a H&R repro of an 1873 Trapdoor carbine for an agreeable price. My understanding is H&R made a small run of these in the 1970's in a few different trim levels and as a saddle ring carbine and slightly longer "officer's model." Aside from a...

After living with my 1903 in a tastefully sporterized stock for many years, I finally happened into a cheap straight stock to replace it. The replacement stock was stripped of finish and had a nice crack through the wrist starting at the rear of the trigger group and working up. There were...

Evening all. I happened across a new addition to the collection today, Japanese Type 38 carbine. This is my first Japanese rifle, and it appears to be in relatively good condition all things considered. I'm happy with the price I paid for it, especially given the intact mum. Well, here are...

I wanted to get a little advice from the experts here. My wife gifted me a Hornady Lock and Load reloading kit for Christmas. It seems comprehensive enough and I think all I need to buy are shell holders and dies, on top of powder, bullets, and primers. My intent is to shoot mild cast loads...

Sub-guns are obsolete. Pistol Caliber Carbines don't have a place in today's self defense world. What use is a 6+ pound handgun? 9mm isn't a man stopper! It's a useless semi-auto only copy of a sub-machine gun. A friend of mine who purchased this SITES Spectre HC Pistol new in the late...

Well, I recently picked up a Henry Big Boy in .357 and I'm extremely pleased with the fit, finish, and overall quality of the rifle. Gorgeous wood, a rich deep blue, and the brass receiver make this thing a pleasure to look at. Hopefully it's as much fun to shoot as it is to look at! Boy...

Picked up my second P220 tonight. An Ernst Langdon P220. Beautiful gun...

Well, I recently acquired a pair of nice S&W's while on a little visit to Florida. The price was too good to pass up on at a little less than $500 for the pair. Both are supposedly Florida Dept. of Corrections trade ins. While I'm normally a S&W wheel gun man, these little gems are a joy to...

I recently picked up a well used S&W 15-5 police trade in. It was a sweet deal and I'm very happy with it so far. But, unfortunately I found a small issue. The cylinder appears in time at every chamber but on the 6th pull of the trigger, both double and single action, the trigger won't...

So, wondering if any of the Hudson Valley guys in the forum know of any good places to shoot in Ulster County, the Catskills, or surrounding area (west of the Hudson). Nice private ranges or little used public ranges are great! Thanks for the tips guys.

I'm looking for a 6.5x52 headspace Gauge. After an afternoon on Google, i've been unable to locate one or a set of these gauges. I recently came into a M91 long rifle and wanted to check the headspace on this fine specimen before trying it at the range. If anyone has some guidance, I would...

I wanted to share some photos of a recent acquisition. I picked up a German marked Browning Hi-Power. Serial number matches on the frame, slide, and barrel. The frame and slide bear an eagle and swastika right below the slide stop and in front of the cocking serations. Directly in front of...
