    Buffalo Bore 150 Grain Wadcutters & S&W Vintage 640 Centennial Compatible?

    Do you think an older model S&W 640 Centennial made in 1991 can handle Standard Pressure Short Barrel Low Flash Heavy .38 Special Pistol & Handgun Ammunition without any problems being that they make all of their ammo very hot?

    Late 70’s Charter Arms Bulldog .357

    First off any help would be greatly appreciated. I’ve done some research on what I believe to be a late 70’s Charter Arms .357 Bulldog with a six inch barrel. The handle has the Charter Arms with the USA above it. And it was made in Stratford, CT SN 475408. My questions are 1. Am I accurate...

    Modèle 1892 - No single action

    Hi all, My buddy has a Modèle 1892. It’s an old French revolver, solidly built and with an interesting swinging side plate for easy access to the mechanics. However, the hammer doesn’t lock back to fire in single-action (double action works fine) - I took it apart but I couldn’t find any kind...

    Novelty Threshold: where does the practicality end?

    Hello A few weeks back I had posted a thread on 357 Magnum with folks discussing its limitations and power. A vast majority considered it a powerful enough caliber for SD/HD. Many also considered it as a viable option for hunting, and then there were those who considered it weak and limited...

    Limitations of .357 Magnum

    Howdy Usually threads are posted with comparison between calibers or questions about what can you do with certain caliber. My question today is: what you cannot do with a 357 magnum that will require you to go for a bigger caliber? In other words where does the line end for the 357 magnum...
  9. The Hand Gunner

    Looking to get a new gun.

    So I've already got a few firearms (three to be exact) all for self defense and SHTF scenarios but now that I've had time to think about it I feel the choice I made to but to Single Action Army replicas was a made in haste. Now I'm relatively well versed when it comes to weapons and am thinking...

    Anyone have any experience with the Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw?

    I picked up one of these beauties in .357 a few months ago. Unfortunately before I could even shoot the thing I began to have issues with the hammer. Instead of cocking back fully and staying there till it's time to shoot the hammer snaps forward into half cock. Over the past few months I've...

    New to me Dan Wesson

    Today at a gun show i bought an older Dan Wesson .357 magnum revolver, with 6 inch barrel. I had gone back to pickup a pistol pack that I had walked away from, but that is another story. In any event it is in decent, perhaps 75 percent aesthetically. Mechanically seems very good. Not knowing...

    Heritage Rough Rider

    Iv been looking at getting a rough rider .22lr revolver lately. They seem really easy to come by and not very hard to purchase. I wouldn't mind getting the .22 mag cylender for it either. Any good stories behind these guys? Are they really that good of a steal for that price? Would i have to buy...

    Handgun Hunting

    I would like to eventually get to a point where I'm comfortable hunting whitetail/hogs with a handgun.

    Did H&K ever make revolvers?

    I was reading a circa 1990 crime novel and the protagonist is armed, at one point, with a "issue H&K .38". I did some web-searching, but didn't come up with any info on them, if they ever existed. I know a lot of authors just make up things that sound good when they write about guns...
