I finally got to shoot my new Taurus 689. Taurus Model 689, 4" barrel, .357 Magnum/.38Spl. 100 rounds of Winchester .357 145Gr. Silvertips and 50 rounds of Winchester 130Gr. FMJ. Move over Smith & Wesson. While the 689 has been discontinued this is one of the best shooting revolvers I have...

I forget things and today didn't begin well. I took my new Beretta PX4 to the range. I had planned on a very long shooting session and a very short range report. This will be very short because I forgot (again) and only took one box of 9mm ammo with me...:mad: For the past three months I...

Well, I've been waiting along time and finally my PX4 arrived today. So what's my problem? It won't stop raining. Maine isn't getting pounded like SW New Hampshire, but its rain every day with 3 to 4 inches on the way for the weekend. So I'll smile again when I get to shoot my new...

and feels like a Smith, it must be a Taurus? Well, not quite! I just picked this LNIB Taurus 689 (out of production) up today. The fit, finish, action, and lock up are 99%. I will try and shoot it next week if it ever stops raining around these parts. So Taurus owners, if you've gotum...

Hey Does anyone one know what would be a good price for a 2" .357 magnum, 6 shot, made in Germany, new in box with all paperwork? :confused:

I don't like the feel of rubber grips and some of the older model Smiths 'K' frames have the factory original skinny medalion grips. Some of the older Rugers came with rubber grips. I have average size hands and I have always liked the feel of smooth wood. So, off with the old and on with the...

I am seriously considering buying a Blackhawk. It will be my first one and I need some help with what I should be paying. The description is a Ruger BN-34X Blackhawk revolver chambered for .357 mag and 9mm in excellent condition. Serial number is 37-80511. In AS NEW condition. Any and all...

The first thing I did when I brought this gun home was to remove the cheap rubber grips and order a pair of Eagles. My smooth Eagle Heritage grips came in today so I'm posting some porn and inviting you of like mind to join in. This 686 has not yet been fired. But if it shoots anywhere near...

A little while back I picked up a SW Model 586 NIB. It is aboslutely beautiful. The first time at the range I had trouble ejecting the cartridges and finally two of them froze in tight so I couldn't get them out. I later pulled them out with a grip wrench, and not very easily. I then cleaned...

I finally found a Taurus 689. Haven't bought it yet. Does anyone know the size of the frame on this model? I have an 85 and I wanted something larger... Imput from anyone with 689 experience is appreciated. :D

Am I alone or does anyone else really enjoy reading the 'closed' threads... :D

After buying my 629mg I immediately put on wood checkered grips. The first time I fired this revolver, I put 50 rounds of .44 Mag, whatever grain, and left allot of the skin on the palm of my shootin hand in between those checkers... I'm trying again tomorrow with a new set of Eagle Heritage...

Does anyone have information regarding availability of the PX4? More importantly, does anyone have a range report? :confused:

I bought my Colt Lawman a while back and it's just been depressed and lonesome for quite some time now. So 10 days ago I had a chance to pick up a Colt Trooper for just under $300. Took it to the range yesterday. This gun ain't going nowhere, never!!! I always use good english... ;) So if...

I finally got to the range today! among several others I took along my NIB Smith 66, 2 1/2" .357 and my NIB Taurus 85, 3". I love my Smiths and I'm gonna post them below, just so you good folks won't think I'm trolling. I put 24 rounds of .357, MagTech 158Gr. and hardly hit a thing at 25...

I should have bought the 586-3 used for half the price, but I didn't. I bought this limited edition and hope to have it in my sweaty paws sometime next week. Didn't any of you see this on Auction Arms? Why didn't you bid on it??? Just once, instead of leaving it there for me??? What can I...

Obviously I'm not a gun expert like some of the folks on TFL, but I hear the comment 'SW model 19, or model xx, was never intended to be fed a steady diet of 357 magnum rounds' quite a bit. My question is why not? Why would a gun manufacturer build a gun chambered in .357, when the gun wasn't...

I am fighting the urge to go with 'You get what you pay for' I'm looking at 2 Smith Wesson Model 586's. One is $200 higher than the other, so whatdaya think??? This is a 586-3 in near new condition original blue, revolver looks unfired. Original factory combat wood grips are mint. Adjustable...

I am thinking about buying a model 19-4 from an auction. I have never fired one or even seen one. So I need some input as to what kind of quality the M19 presents. It is in 'Excellent' condition. LNIB and hardly used. Is it worth $400.00??? :confused:

HELP.... :eek: A week or so ago I saw this NIB beautiful M66 at a Gun Auction site. I wrote and asked the seller if he would put up a 'buy now' price so I would have to wait 10 days. No reply. So I bookmarked the auction and waited. With a couple of hours to go, there was only one bid...The...
