https://thefiringline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=116355&d=1697384033 Anyone else who couldn't resist buying one of these while they're around? This is the 3.75" bbl. .44 magnum.

Not only beautiful, but apparently first year of production. Life is good!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a left handed leather holster to fit a 3.75" bbl .44mag vaquero? Prefer a pancake style OWB. Thanks

Both my son and I are southpaws. I'm looking for suggestions for a home defense semi-auto .12ga. Saw a Charles Daly 600 LH with 18"bbl for a good price, but from what I could find these have a lot of QC issues. Not really suitable for a home defense firearm. Thanks.

Gave myself an early present by putting a vintage 10" octagon .25/35 Contender barrel on lay-a-way. (Haven't seen too many of these and didn't want to let it get away) Anyone else already planning a gift for themselves?

Finally got a chance to try the shotshells I loaded for my 3 1/2" Colt Pocket Positive with the kits from Sage Outdoors. Grouped tighter than I was expecting at 4'. Now to try them at 6' and 8'. My guess is 6' will be Ok, but 8' is probably pushing it. Should come in handy around the yard and...

So I loaded the .32 S&W long shotshells with the kits from Sage Outdoors. While I was doing that I started thinking it would be fun to step outside the box and order a barrel for my gen 1 contender in .218 Mashburn Bee...… What unusual projects are Y'all contemplating during this unusual Spring?

I'm seriously considering buying one of these, but I can't seem to find one to take a look at/ handle. I've never owned anything from Cimarron before but they seem to have good reviews. For those who own one of their revolvers, what do you think of it? How does it stack up against a Ruger...

Just picked up a .32-20 win. barrel. According to the Speer manual these have a .308 groove diameter rather than .311 to allow a wider selection of bullets to be used. I'm guessing that means I'll need to change the expander plug in the die. Can the plug just be swapped with one from a .30 cal...

According to the list I just read there are three limited edition contenders that are C&R qualified. The contender was first introduced in 1967. Can someone help me understand why they are not all considered C&R guns? Was it that the selector switch on the hammer was changed at one point...

Are there any advantages to shooting .30 Herrett instead of .30-30 in a Contender pistol? The big drawback I see is forming cases for the Herrett.

I'm planning to load some shot-shells for my .32 S&W Pocket Positive for small pest control using the kit from Sage Outdoors. My question is: Because of the small case capacity would it be more effective to use #11 shot instead of the usual #9? The shooting parameters are; rat sized critters...

I read some small frame Ruger Bearcat .22lr revolvers have been rechambered to the .32 H&R magnum cartridge and It got me wondering if the same thing could be done safely with a Colt Pocket Positive .32 S&W revolver. Is the .32 H&R too much pressure for the Colt frame? If it could be done I...

In Dec. 2017 I picked up a Para Elite Commander 1911, partly so I was shooting the same platform as my son who got his first handgun (Ruger Nightwatchman commander), and partly in my quest to find a single platform/caliber I could be satisfied with. This was my first foray into CC'ing a 1911...

I'm seriously considering getting the kit to convert my 1911 to .460 Rowland. If anyone's done this conversion, does .45acp cycle reliably with the heavier recoil spring? Is .45 ammo accurate in the .460 barrel?

I apologize in advance, but I'm not familiar at all with these guns. Is there any reason an ambidextrous thumb safety could not be installed on the lightweight commander? Anything that makes it more difficult than on other 1911's? Asking for a friend.

I want to add a Redhawk to my revolvers this year. This gun will be for casual range trips and occasionally brought along on a hiking or camping trip, nothing more serious. I've narrowed it down to two. Either the 5.5" .44mag or the 4" .45colt/.45acp. I reload so ammunition cost isn't an...

Has anyone had experience with this company and products? Would you recommend them? I'm interested in a laminated stock for my left-hand Ruger Hawkeye compact magnum and they are the only company I can find that makes them. Boyd's only makes a long-action version in left-hand. Open to...

I'm not familiar with the AR platform at all and have a simple question regarding lower receivers. With the exception of the bolt release, can fire controls be reversed on any standard lower? Will the standard bolt release interfere with a left handed upper? Alright, two questions. Thanks

To my knowledge Ruger only produced this gun for a couple of years. Does anyone know the reason it was dropped so quickly? I've heard flame cutting in the top-strap was pretty severe, but as far as I know Ruger never recalled the gun which seems to indicate they didn't think it was unsafe...
