single action

I used to own an older Heritage Rough Rider (made before Taurus bought them) with target sights. It was surprisingly accurate, until I very stupidly sold it. I went out of my way to buy a brand new Rough Rider a few months that was basically the same set-up: 6.5" barrel with target sights. This...

For those of you that have not read Craig C’s article and seen his pics, they are absolutely stunning! Have your handkerchief handy cause you may drool a bit. http://www.sixgunner.org/ultimatesixgun1.html

Weird CCW and probably just a flight of fancy but what's out there? I really liked the Carryhawk in theory but I thought it was supposed to be a 4 inch barrel instead of the 4 5/8 that I see it has. 5/8ths may not be a killer but even 4 inch is getting big for a CCW. I already have a longer...

It will be hard to lose this one in the woods. I just got it back from Ruger with it’s new 9mm cylinder.

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...

I just bought an uberti cattleman (Colt SAA clone). Its works great except the pin that holds the firing pin in place has fallen out a couple times. So hopefully someone out there knows how i can secure the pin in its position. Thanks

Hey all, As some of you may have seen previously, i am allowed (by wife rule) one, yes one, firearm purchase per year. I discussed before possibly waiting on a great deal on a FA model 83 with a 10" barrel that i can get but would need to wait until a friend inevitably needs money this winter VS...

Greetings everyone, I'm looking into purchasing a Ruger single action revolver, and cannot decide which one to purchase. Is there any difference in the frame strength of the current production new Blackhawks or Vaqueros? I’ve heard that the Blackhawks may be able to handle higher pressure loads...

Greetings! I’m looking into purchasing a small traditional single action revolver, I’d like to buy something that could be handed down someday. Right now I’m looking at some of the offerings from ruger, either a new bearcat in .22, or the vaquero in .357 mag (I’d shoot .38 special out of it)...

Just wanted to give an initial impression review on my recently acquired Ruger Wrangler in .22lr. As most of you may know Ruger just put out what many are considering direct competition to the Heritage line of .22lr SA revolvers. Before Ruger came out with the Wrangler I was about to purchase...

Hi. While cleaning my relatively new (400 rounds through it) .45 cal Uberti 1873 Cattleman II single action revolver, I noticed a notch in the hole that the firing pin goes into that seems to indicate that the firing pin is striking the edge to some degree. I've attached a picture. I'm new to...

Has any company ever produced a single action revolver with a swing out cylinder ? If not, why ? Just curious.

Hi All, Wanted to report on the first firing of my Uberti 1875 Remington .45. I picked it up yesterday at Sportsman's Warehouse and took it out to the range today. I'm intending to use it with black powder cartridges, but I shot it today with Hornady 255 grain Cowboy loads. I don't have my...

Hey there THR! Some of you may remember the first time I took a Single Action Army to a USPSA Style Fun match... If you don't remember, you can check that thread out here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=781494 And the thread I started in preparation for the challenge...

Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my post and hopefully reply, I hope for this thread to be about my decision to purchase my first revolver as well as the generalities of the Super Blackhawk/44 Magnum cartridge. First off let me say that I'm relatively new to the hobby only...

Many of you have put your input on my "Tips for running a SAA Clone in a Match" and I really appreciate it. If you missed out, that thread is at: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=781153 So I ran the match! It was very fun and educational. I got a lot of props for bringing a cowboy...
