There are very few things as useless as the Standard Catalog of S&W on an Amazon Kindle. What a waste of money.

Went to a gun show yesterday, and saw a pre-model 34 that some goober had (poorly) spay painted black. I wanted to track the guy down and kick him. The dealer had it marked an outrageous $500; while my friend and I shook our heads, he came down to $300. Still too much, even though I don't have...

I recently started cleaning brass with a tumbler. Today, I took down my single-ten to clean, and it got me to wondering if I could use the tumbler to clean the cylinder of the carbon build up, without scratching the stainless steel, using crushed walnut. Anyone ever try it?

I have somehow re-assembled my beretta nano incorrectly. Now, when the trigger is pulled, the slide backs off the frame about a quarter of an inch before the striker is released. I detail stripped it down twice and reassembled and I still have the problem. Help appreciated.

I have instructions on removing the bolt from a medium frame lightning, but not for a small frame. I've stripped the receiver down but I don't know how to remove the bolt. Anyone know? Thanks, Brian

Has anyone shot one of these yet and give a review?

I stumbled upon a project gun, a Colt Lightning small frame in 22 short. I've got information on the medium frame, but not much about the small frame. First question: how doe it load? Thanks, Brian

I purchased a stevens crackshot recently, took it home and ran a patch through it and found it had three bulges in it. Now that I know there there, you can see them from the outside in the right light when looking down the sights. I foolishly shot it yesterday anyway, with standard velocity...

I have my share of nice revolvers, and I've sold or traded many more. But there is one that just took my love to the next level. It was that gun that has it all. I wasn't even looking for a S&W 28, but there I was wondering around a small gun show, and a dealer had it on his table. It had...

I have an opportunity to buy a S&W 327PD. However, the seller has bead blasted the trigger and hammer. I believe that the trigger and hammer on the S&W are case hardened, and I'm worried that the bead blasting will have destroyed the hardening, and that that may cause problems with the hammer...

Hey all, I have a S&W m17 with the aluminum cylinder. The gun is in great mechanical shape, but the bluing is wearing, making the cylinder look darker than much of the gun, and the cylinder is showing some slight chipping as well. I've been thinking about resurfacing. I don't see how the color...

I've been seeing colt scouts of all flavors really rise in price the last few years. I know that they haven't been produced for awhile, but it still seems a bit odd, especially when there are so many other choices for SA 22s. I (over)paid $400 for a nickle (k-series) frontier scout a few years...

Am getting ready to start my first rust blue project, but had a couple of questions. 1) I have removed the old blue and gotten rid of the worst of the pitting on the revolver; however, there are still some dark discolorizations on the gun. I sanded it with 320 grit, then 600 grit, and it is...

Stopped by a pawn shop yesterday and walked out with what I went in for, as well as a beautiful, minty H&R 686. I have a friend that has a older H&R double action (676?), which I have always felt was not much of a gun--not terribly accurate, heavy trigger, big and blockly looking. However, the...

I know I've found a step by step guide on disassembling a Dan Wesson revolver on line somewhere, but cannot find it now. Can anyone please point me to the right site?

Does anyone make a half moon clip for the 8-round n-frames? Or a 2-round moon clip? Thanks, Brian

I took up shooting five years ago, and didn't think I'd ever own a revolver. Now my safe is bulging with revolvers, and all I can think about is the next one. Oh the humanity.

I recently purchased an old Iver Johnson, and was trying to find a good reference for it. I came across a Belgium company that sells ebooks on various handguns, HLebooks.com. Before I drop my money down on one of these ebooks, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the company?

I am trying to disassemble the bolt on my new savage 10, with the fakafka cocking indicator. I do not know what I am doing wrong, but the firing pin retaining sleave will not fall down so I can remove the retaining pin. I don't think I should use pliers, so I must be doing something wrong. There...
