Hey All, I'm looking for a .44 Special revolver but have a couple of stipulations...I need some ideas... I want one on a K/L frame. No N frames because this would most likely be used as an IWB off-duty gun. I'd also prefer a 4 inch barrel. Right now, I already have a S&W 696 and carry...

Deer season opened up on Saturday down here and like every year, I had to work the weekend and Monday so made it out there today... I really debated on going today too, since it was about 45 degrees this morning and we had been getting "Wilma Wind" for a day or so. I think it was gusting about...

Okay guys- between the Winchester 94 and Marlin 336 which do you like better? For me, I've chosen the 336 over the 94 TWICE. I compared them right next to each other and while the 94 seemed lighter, the Marlin seemed stronger and more to my liking. How about the rest of you?

how many of us lucked up and got the perfect one from the get-go? I really don't remember what my first real CCW was. I'm guessing it was a Taurus 85 .38 special snubbie. It's long gone now, though, and was traded in on something else. I then bought an AMT Back-up .45 (which I still have) but...

I just couldn't wait and came up with the balance for this gun today to take it off of lay-away... :D S&W Model 10-6 Anybody know when the -6 was made? As you might be able to see in the pics, the nickle is coming off in certain spots. On the hammer, backstrap, under the trigger guard...

Just stumbled across a Model 10-6 in my favorite pawn shop today. Bull barrel and nickle plated... Never seen a nickled Model 10. Anybody give me any information on it? It's in 90% shape with some of the nickle coming off on the backstrap. Needless to say, with my addiction of K frame .38s I...

Hey All, I don't want to debate the .380 caliber as a self defense round. That's been beaten to death and back. Some people's perceived need of a larger, more powerful round don't necessarily meet the requirements of another persons... That said and out of the way, a lot of folks prefer FMJ in...

Hi all, Gonna try my luck asking this question here... I have an old Llama commander sized chambered in .38 Super. I love the gun and after a quick polish of the feed ramp and a decent mag, haven't had any problems out of it. I'd like to get some extra parts for it but am at a loss as to...

Hey All, With the thumb safety thread on here recently, it made me think of this one... Week or so ago I stopped in the local shop and looked at a 1911 they had used. The thumb safety would not come off safe unless the grip safety was pushed in. I've never seen this before and the clerk tried...

Okay all, before the flames start up... :D I have a Norinco Hi-Power clone. It's not a Tokarev clone without the safety, etc. It's just like a Hi-Power, or later, like Norinco made 1911s... It has been the most reliable semi-auto I've ever had and I'm already set up with extra mags, nice...

Hey All, Gimmee the scoop on the old Colt Viper .38 A pawn shop in town has one for 350 and it's in very good-excellent shape. No box or papers. All I really know about it is that it was made for one year only. Think 1977 or so. Any help would be appreciated. I'm wavering back and forth to...

Hi All, Can somebody provide a link or any information on the old .32 revolver rounds? Like the .32 S&W, .32 S&W Long, the Colt offerings, etc.? I'm mainly curious as to when the Long was adopted as a police round but I'm a history buff and any information will help. Were the police Longs...

Hi All, Picked up an NEF snubby in .32 H&R Mag this morning for a good deal. Seems to be pretty well made although the DA trigger sure ain't a Smith. I can't remember but is this an old Iver Johnson or Harrington and Richardson design? Anybody got any idea when they were made and when NEF...

Hi All, After a couple years of trying to persuade my wife to get her Concealed Carry License, she has. She has been around guns her whole life and can shoot fairly well. She has taken hunter safety classes with me and has done a good bit of range work. That said and out of the way...she will...
