    2.5" Python Question

    My sister in law's Father passed away about three years ago. Amongst some of the items she inherited was this 2.5" (I think unfired) Python. She also received a couple of hunting rifles that she ended up giving to her son since he hunted. Neither she or my brother are gun people, so when he told...

    Firearm Signs

    Yesterday I was on a 3 hour trip cutting thru a small town in central Florida (Ocala) when I saw this shopping centers name. It just brought a big smile to my face. It was nice to see (even here in Florida) a town not being concerned with being accused of not being politically correct. I haven't...

    I saw a 4" Colt King Cobra for sale today with a vented rib barrel. I've never seen a King Cobra with a vented rib barrel before, they always had a solid rib. Did Colt ever make them that way.

    New Wood For The Colt King Cobra

    I've been wanting to replace the original Pachmayr Presentation grips with Colt factory wood grips on the King Cobra for some time now. They've been hard to find and when they have shown up on one of the auction sites, they have gone for $160 to $180 and up. Way too rich for my blood for grips...

    Long Lost Security Six Holster Finally Makes It Home

    This is kind of a long story, but I'll try to keep it short. It really started last year when I found and purchased a NIB unfired 2-3/4" Security Six with box and papers and all. It was like Christmas to me and I was like a proud Papa, especially when I found an original Melvin Tyler T grip to...

    Safe Organization (Maximizing The Space To Fit More Handguns)

    Today I spent part of the day reorganizing my safe to fit a couple more handguns that I had recently purchased. I had completly run out of room. I had a choice to either remove all the ammo from the safe and store it somewhere else, or empty out the safe and do a little modification. I prefer to...

    Just Added A 3rd Ruger

    I own a few revolvers, mostly 38's & 357's but the two Rugers that I have are some of my favorite's. One reason is that I'm a lefty, and the cylinder release latch is easier to operate than the push/pull of the Smiths & Colts. Dont get me wrong, I think all 3 manufactures make some fine...

    Halloween tactics and precautions

    Just curious, what special precautions do you make if any on Halloween night with people and children knocking on your door until late hours? If you think about it, some thugs might view it as a good opportunity to attempt a home invasion or something else. It was an issue in one area of town...

    Beretta 90 Two

    I was at the gun shop this weekend and checked out the Beretta 90 Two. Fit and finish was nice and it gripped and pointed naturally and just felt good in hand. I haven't fired one but am looking at the .40. I really enjoy my P99 in the .40 and was thinking of another full size. So, anyone that...

Last month I woke to a noise and fumbled around for my gun and flashlight, and the flashlight rolled off my nightstand and fell under the bed where I couldnt find it. Since I make gun racks, I decided...
