Hey All, Just sent off a well abused S&W 19 snubby to get refinished. From the ads, DuraCoat seems to offer a good amount of protection for a decent price. What do you guys think? I took some before pics. I'll post them when the after pics come in in a few weeks. Hopefully everything will...

Any comments on this gun? Why was it discontinued? It's the non ported version. Please tell me any of the full size 15 round .40 mags will work in it. The seller couldn't find the mag that came with it so gave me a new Glock 22 mag. It fits fine and locks the slide back but it'll be a few...

I just found a pile of these that somebody gave me years ago. I'm no bird hunter, so was just curious what these are for? Thanks. EW

The first gun I ever owned was a Mossberg 500. I've since sold it but have bought a couple more over the years and always preferred them over the Remington. Even a couple of years ago when my little P.D. updated our shotguns, I chose a new 500 over the 870s that everyone else chose. The main...

First off, let me say that I don't have a huge preference between plastic and steel guns. I own more steel guns but the majority of my collection is revolvers. I do have a S&W 40F, Ruger P345 and my issued Glock 22 and like them well enough. I had a few bucks coming to me from the tax place...

I swear guys, if it says Smith and Wesson, I'm a sucker for it. Even worse if it's a K frame... Made the gunshow in town this weekend and found this "beauty". ;) An NYSP trade-in S&W 65 .357 w/ 3 inch barrel. Some clown did a crummy job of bobbing the hammer and smoothing out the...

Found this in a pawn shop the other day for a good deal. Shoots amazingly accurate and no malfunctions in about 110 rounds. The grips are huge, though.:eek: :D Anybody have any comments? I really like it so far. Serial number is A5432XX if anyone can help date it for me. I'm thinking it's an...

and was surprised to see it was a round butt after I got off some old Mustang target grips somebody had put on it. I never figured the round butt was common on 19s but this is the first time I've ever had the snub nose version. Were they all made with the round butt in this barrel length...

Hey All, I'm sure this has been discussed here a million times before, but I can't get the search function to work. Must be my computer... Recently picked up a 4 inch Security Six for carry. I've had a 6 inch one in the past for deer hunting and liked it well enough. I'm curious, though, if...

Can inexpensive and target go hand in hand? Hope so. :D I'm not really looking for something to knock my socks off, but want something to plink with that would be more accurate (preferably bolt action) than my Marlin 60, Winchester 190 and Stevens single shot .22 I'd prefer sticking with...

You always hear about it's sister, the 686, but not a lot about the 586... I picked this one up on-line a week or so ago. Got it in today. Gonna try and make it over to the range this weekend.

Hey All, Stumbled across this little plinker yesterday and got it for a great deal. It's an older Heritage Rough Rider (.22LR only). I had been wanting something to pop cans with and the occasional squirrel and I think this will fit the bill well (read on, though). Carried it with me to...

I posted a thread here a few days ago looking for a holster for my Browning BDA and asking if it would fit in a makarov holster. Pilot was kind enough to check his Beretta (similar to the BDA) and his Maks and said I shouldn't have a problem. I found this IWB holster on the makarov.com page...

Hey All, I sometimes CC a Browning BDA .380 but am getting discouraged trying to find a nice IWB holster for it. I know the Beretta is just about the same gun, but holsters are hard to find for it also. How does the Mak and Walther .380s compare to the BDA in length and width? Anybody know...

It's even nicer than I remembered when I put it on lay-away a month or so ago... :D Hardly shot at all, no ring on the cylinder and Colt Blue perfect in every way. I doubt it had a box of shells through it- maybe just a cylinder or two. They were made only one year- 1977- and this will be...

I've got an original Charter bulldog and like it a lot but the trigger is something awful. Just wondering if I should try to change out the springs or if the design itself doesn't make it worth it. There's no sideplate, so the only spring I could actually change (I guess) is the main spring-...

Hey All, A pawn shop near me has a Colt Viper for sale. It's been there awhile and I've looked and looked at it and I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy my first Colt. It's in about 95% condition with excellent blueing and just a few everyday scuff marks...mainly on the grips. The guy...

Got a chance to head out to the range the other day at work. I went through a few cylinders full of 246g Winchester cowboy loads I had laying around the house for a few years to get a feel for the gun and see how bad the recoil was. These are some nice shooting, fairly mild loads and I really...

After searching and searching for a certain .44 spc. I finally found one on gunbroker that wasn't more than I was willing to pay. It's an original Charter Arms: I tell ya, this is the lightest revolver I own. It was almost NIB and hadn't been shot much at all. I hope to get out to the range...

Hey All, I'd like to hear some opinions on these for CCW... My everyday CCW now is a 4 inch K frame .38 with a couple of speedloaders. I have carried some sort of K frame revolver for many years now and have settled on a Model 10 with a superb trigger. I also have a S&W 696 (L frame 3 inch)...
