    Since this is a Revolver section

    Bought my eldest son Uberti Cattleman in 45LC...supposed to be for his 43rd birthday in Jan BUT I had to make sure it worked.:) Love the old school SA only and ‘gate’ to load/unload... What a giggle. Felt great, very accurate and FUN. My 2 kids have a great selection, means I don’t have to buy...

    Ayup, the self admitted Glock fan boy has a couple of questions. Went to USAF Academy yesterday..took a look at the their gun and ammo department..Prices seemed high, Glock 48 for $500..but no tax so kinda a wash BUT... Young counter guy, after I bought some brass 9mm ammo(not cheap either-$12...

    Another question on going to the USAF Academy

    One of the things we are going to do is make a pass through the exchange..that got me a-thinkin'..they sell guns there(pretty sure)..if you DO buy one, how do you get it outta the Exchange and off base legally..considering the Just curious, doubt I'll buy anything(maybe ammo)...

    A pitch about outdoor ranges and clean-up

    Just a general rant...we are lucky enough to have 2 uncontrolled, outdoor ranges here around the people's republic of Boulder. One, Boulder county, in Roosevelt National Forest, above Lyons, is tremendous..about 6-7 'stations', very safe, great place to shoot BUT..I went up there yesterday to...
