Which Micarta grip color do you prefer?

As a corrolary to this thread, I thought I'd get the opinions as to which frame material/finish is more popular on Single-Six's....blued or stainless? Instead of a poll, I'll just have you all post your responses (polls sometimes limit discussion). Also, which do you prefer on a Single-Six...

Please post pictures of rifles you own in this thread. Bolt Action Semi-auto Lever action Or anything else that you wish to post. I don't have a digital camera yet, but as soon as I get one I'll also post pictures.

Ok, it seems that the Colt SSA (Peacemaker and variants) and the Remington single action revolvers got the most use by gunfighters in the Old West? Is that perception true? Where did the Colt Bisley come in? I know it was introduced very late into the Gunfighting period (1890's right?). Did...

Why don't the ammo manufactures make .357 magnum ammo loaded down to weak .38 spl levels? With .38 special shot out of a .357 magnum chamber, you tend to dirty up the inside of the chambers more due to the shorter .38 case. Wouldn't it be nice to have options in .357 magnum other than hot...

Which grip style do you prefer on Ruger single-action revolvers:

My GP 100s have Lett fake/imitation ivory grip inserts. My single action revolvers have fake ivory grip panels, and most of my semi-autos have ColoBolo wood grip panels. I like customizing a pistol and making it look different than factory. The GP100's look sharp, by the way, with imitation...

I got called (via telephone) for some kind of poll, and an automated message from Wayne La Pierre (prerecorded voice message) came on. He talked about a new law that destroys part of the first admendment (free speech), preventing the NRA to warn its members about anti-gun politians. Then, a...

I just got the Wolff springs today. For some reason, I thought they sent you the whole mainspring assembly which would just pop right in. Instead, I just just got the mainsprings (springs alone), plus a couple trigger return springs. No big deal, I just can't figure out how to disasemble the...

Is it easy to install a Wolff trigger return spring in a GP 100? I know how to install the main spring. How do you install the trigger return spring though? I'm asking cause I just ordered the Wolff GP 100 "shooters pak", which has several springs in it, including main springs and trigger...

You know, handguns that are obselete (in a defensive sense) nowadays, but are still fun to shoot due to historical significance, beautiful design, or other reasons. My choices: SSA Single action revolvers (Colts and clones) Remington single action revolvers Top break single action revolvers...

I picked up my Marlin 1894 in .357 magnum (10 day wating period was over), and I really like the feel and balance of this rifle. I'm not sure what to feed it though? Do they prefer .357 magnum or .38 special? Do some of you use strictly .357 magnums, or strictly .38 special and if so why...

Looking over my new GP 100, I notice that one of the Ruger employees might be a tad bit color blind. The wood grip on the right side is a dark bright red color (almost looks like redwood), yet the left wood grip is light brown (looks like light oak). Is it so much to ask for a company to use...

Do you own more semi-automatics or revolvers? Me? I currently own more semi-automatics, but I'm hot to change that. Over the last few years, my tastes have changed from preferring to semi-autos to preferring revolvers. I want to restructure my collection so that its more balanced out (with...

Today was my pickup day for the Ruger GP 100. I haven't shot it yet, but I've been dry firing it with snap caps. The double action trigger is SUPER SMOOTH and reasonably light for a Ruger. In fact, its nearly as good as my S&W 686 Plus! I'm frankly shocked, because my other GP 100 has a very...

I am ordering cartridge belts in .357 magnum, but I can't seem to find any for the .22 LR. Do they currently make cartridge belts that hold .22 LR ammo? If so, please provide a link to a secure site that sells them online.

Is .22 LR and .22 Magnum EXACTLY the same caliber? I thought they were slightly different like to 1/1,000th of an inch or so? The reason I'm asking is that the (convertible) Blackhawks in .357 magnum and 9mm have a tough time shooting 9mm accurately from what I've heard. Since 9mm is .355...

One of the things I'm considering doing is putting a pistol grip on my 870 HD. I don't want the pistol grip only configuration, but instead a pistol grip plus stock combination. What options do I have to do this, and can anyone direct me to a site that sells the parts?

Can the Marlin lever action rifles hold up to a steady diet of hot Cor Bon .357 magnum hunting loads? From the Cor Bon site, the hunting loads are rated at: 180 grain 1280 fps out of 4" revolver length barrel 200 grain 1200 fps out of 4" revolver length barrel I'd like a rifle in .357 to...

4" barrel, stainless, adjustable sights. I checked out the display model, and after being satisfied the that action and trigger were good I bought it. Unlike the majority of GP100s, this one actually has a good double action trigger pull! :eek: These are great guns nonetheless, and I am glad...
