I have one of the new reproductions of the Model of 1917. The Model 22, Model of 1917. I'm not concerned with removing the lanyard ring since it is easily done but I am not sure if there are other differences between this model and other N frame square butt revolvers. I want to put on some...

The 908 (and similar semi autos) have a double action first pull and single action afterwords. The "safety" works as a de-cocker as well as a firing pin block. From my understanding, the gun has a passive firing pin block (must pull trigger to make the gun fire). Does this all mean the gun...

I recently picked up a Henry Octagon barrel (Frontier model) .22LR. I'm happy with the gun, it's more accurate than I am. With some rimfire guns, dry firing is a no-no due to possible damage to the firing pin. I don't want to dry fire practice with the Henry but I don't always keep accurate...

I don't know if this post will be allowed to remain since it is kinda political but: With the recent election we now have three of the most anti gun elected officials in the top three spots in American government. If you like owning guns and the freedom to use them for sport and/or for...

I just walked out of my local gun shop with a mid 1970 4 inch Colt Diamondback .38. The gun is in about 85% to 90% condition. It locks up really tight, great alignment and smooth trigger; has some wear to the bluing from holster carry. I'm not really worried about the wear because it will be...

Just thought I'd give an update and this goes out to Mythbuster especially. I ordered the Marlin Cowboy in .44 mag and picked it up January 17. Here it is January 24 and I still haven't been able to fire it. Between work and the rainy weather we are having, it just hasn't worked out. Anyway...

I just purchased a Marlin 1894 Cowboy in .44 mag/spl. I would like to make my plinking loads using Rainier copper plated 240 grain but Midway is out of the flat point. Will the hollow point be OK in a tubular magazine? I would think so since the bullet shape is very similar to the FP. Just...

Anyone load light loads using a 44 mag case? I am talking about plinking loads. I thought about using the maximum recommended load for 44 spl in the 44 mag case. It would make for easy plinking but without the ring you get when using 44 spl in a 44 mag chamber. I guess the same would apply...

I’ve narrowed my search for a new lever action down between four guns. Either the Marlin 1894SS .44 mag, the Marlin .45 cowboy or the Henry Big Boy in .44 mag or .45LC. The Henrys I have looked at all gave the appearance of being a higher end guns than the Marlins. Better grain in the stock...

I was at my local gun store a few days ago and since he is no longer in the reloading supply business he is selling off old stock. I picked up a 100 count box of Speer 158 grn. SWC lead bullets to try (with the intent that if I liked, I would buy the other 5 or 6 boxes he has). They were only...

I just picked up a "Model 22, Model of 1917" in the color case finish (I know it has the blasphemous internal lock but with the classic lines and case hardened finish I just couldn't resist). Another customer ordered the gun but after it came in he decided he wanted the blue finish; that's fine...

I found a pretty good deal on a Kahr P9 at a local dealer. The shop owner said that the gun was a trade in from a regular customer. The customer buys a gun, keeps it for a couple of months, fires maybe a couple of hundred rounds then trades it in on something else. I’d rate the gun at 99%. I...

Just getting into reloading and none of the manuals I have so far give load data for a .40 135 grain copper coated (not jacketed but electroplated) bullet. I plan on starting with Accurate #5 (because I'm going to keep it simple by starting with one powder for .40S&W, .38spl, 9mm and .45acp)...

Anyone have experience with these? I just got in the .22 and the .38-.44 caliber models. They suggest 30 yards minimum? For off hand, that is going to be quite a challenge (at least to me). Also, it suggests soft nose; no FMJ. Now I have to buy special ammo for practice? I usually shoot FMJ at...

A friend of mine recently bought a S&W 637-2 Air weight .38 and never fired it. He wants to sell it to me (actually he wants to trade it plus $ for my 4513TSW). I’m not familiar with this gun. Does it have a firing pin block so you can carry 5? If so, how does it work? My girlfriend is...

I currently carry a first generation 4513TSW (among other) but I’m thinking about getting a passive safety type gun. I like the idea of pulling the gun and not having to deal with a safety while under the stress, decrease motor skills, adrenalin flow, tunnel vision and everything else that...

Anyone here have or know where I can view a schematic / parts list for a Colt Trooper Mark III .357 magnum?

Anyone here have or know where I can view a schematic / parts list for a Colt Trooper Mark III .357 magnum?

Please bear with me because this is going to sound like a really dumb question to some but here goes: I have never reloaded ammunition but I’m thinking of doing so. I currently shoot .22 LR, 9mm(Luger), .38 spl (and .357) and .45 ACP. I am interested in reloading the .45, .38, .357 and maybe...

I have a 4513 TSW (original style with the magazine well cutout) and would like to put Hogue rubber grips on it. Unfortunately, Hogue does not list this gun. Anyone found grips similar (or the exact thing) to the Hogue rubber grip to fit this gun?
