A couple of years ago I was in a grocery store checking my own stuff at one of those "robo-clerk" stations. You know the type: you scan your stuff, bag it, one human hired by the store monitors four of these "self serve" checkouts. At the time I was carrying my beloved SA wheelgun plus a "belt...

This was a very legally clean case that was solveable without shooting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmhOUw82WXQ If the larger gent had shot, he'd still be legally OK. This was in South Carolina. Just an awesome dude - kept his head, kept his temper, solved it with a drawn .40S&W. Even...

Robinson Arms in TN has scored a large batch of S&W 64s with 2" barrels and roundbutt grips, previously owned by the California Dept. of Corrections. These are K-frame stainless sixguns in 38Spl. They're pre-lock, dating from the late 1980s to early 1990s manufacture, mostly. Robinson is...

So you walk into a biker bar and go "hey guys, check out my new ride!" And they come out and see this: It's not gonna go over too well, is it? Well when you come around here to talk about your shiny new Judge...yeah...it's kinda like that. Sigh. Look, first problem is, it's a Taurus...

Here it is. The world's only gas-operated single action revolver with automatic ejection of empties :). Yes, it works. I *had* video but the damn camera card crumpled on me grrrrSONY!grrr. I'll be able to get to a range tomorrow. The loading gate is "two stage" - open the top half and...

Folks, As most know I've been modifying my Ruger NewVaq357. I have a working gas-powered system for auto-ejection of empties as I shoot. Seriously. Right this moment I'm putting the finishing touches (just cosmetic) on the 3rd try and will be taking it to the range for testing and a photo...

I'm wondering what the earliest gas-recoil systems looked like. I know the BAR of WW1 period was gas-operated. I suspect that gas operation wouldn't have occurred to anybody in the black powder era because the system would have either gunked up, rusted shut or both in short order...and then...

"Some people are put on this world purely as an object lesson to others..." :eek: The weird thing is, he wouldn't have been as bad off if he'd used a Weaver hold. Something would still hurt afterwards (this much stupid is supposed to hurt!) but the basically assymetical Weaver would have put...

This is a variant on the "Tucson Twister" I've been working on, made for a Ruger P-series auto. I'd like to know what y'all think. The horizontal stitch-lines above the scrimshaw "disk" are where two strips of .125" kydex are sewn onto the bottom of the "skirt plate". These strips have holes...

OK. I admit it. I'm sick. Something is wrong with me :D. I want to be able to empty and reload an SA wheelgun as fast as most people can do so with a conventional DA. To do it, I have to get the empties out FAST, which means some sort of "pressure eject" system. My first thought was to use...

In an "exciting" (in a train wreck sense) new product intro, Taurus has managed to take their two dumbest ideas and mash them into one amazingly craptastic gun-like object. Yes, it's the new "Trail Judge". Marketing wonks on a three-day bender decided to take the "Ranch Hand"...

Let's assume I have a Ruger Blackhawk convertible, dual cylinders for 357Mag and 9mm. We can bet good money the barrel will be a closer fit with .357 projectiles. So, what happens if we load up 9mm rounds with .357 projectiles? Call it a "semi-wildcat"? Would it maybe be worthwhile to open...

I had to re-do my holster slightly to hide the new sight setup I'm using. I took the opportunity to re-engineer it some. It's still a "universal tilt" design, allowing near-unlimited alteration of the ride height and "tilt angle" - but the overall build is now a lot simpler. Instead of...
