Never posted in this section, but I'm realizing there are big gaps in my knowledge when I've been considering a custom revolver and I was hoping some of you can shed light on what might be noobish questions before I start trying to contact companies. I'm not ready to build but I need to know if...

I've never shot 10mm or an aluminum frame Commander. When my gun list is finally complete, I want to build a final pistol in the form of a Caspian Commander that I may carry sometimes but not regularly. They will build a titanium frame to my specs but I read a lot of mixed feelings on titanium...

I'm not exactly sure where to post this, but this seems the best section to start. I really, really want to pick up an LCR in .327 Federal. I like a revolver for pocket carry, and this gun at a J-frame size, amazing DAO trigger with 6 rounds of nearly .357 power is about the most perfect thing I...

By sheer coincidence, the two rarest guns on my gun list came up for sale at the same time. Already have a thread on the M27 I'm looking for. The other is the 4056. AFAIK, this is the only all-stainless 3.5 inch .40 that Smith ever made. I'm building a variety of Smith autos that have certain...

Was reworking my gun list, and firmly decided on a M27 with a 4 inch barrel instead of the 5. I like that look the best and it fits my varietal niche perfectly. However, in research I find that a 4" 27 that is P&R was only produced 1978 to about 1980 when they began running out of pinned...

I've been working on my gun list, trying to add the perfect balance of variety. What I'm seeking and cannot find is a 9mm or .40 compact S&W, all stainless or carbon steel. As far as I can find, there isn't one. There's the 4566... But I don't want this one in .45. I guess it would be a 6916...

I have a gun on my list that former research shows exists, but it's been hard to find anything definitive.... a Kimber Crimson Carry Pro in .40. It was some time ago that I looked into this and came to the tentative conclusion that it existed, but I'm wary of that as I search again. Can anyone...

Been looking into this gun, and it has been solidly on my list more or less since it was released. But some stuff on my list I REALLY wish I had picked up when it was brand new, because they were produced in limited quantities and now a few pieces I am looking at searching years to find one, or...

I was wondering if there's some structural reason that revolvers chambered in a magnum round seem to necessitate a shrouded ejector rod. Both the M60 and M640 used to have the plain barrel and ejector when they were built in 38 special only. It seems that after they became available in .357 the...

I have been admiring the 642 lately, and saw the rare variant, the 632. This, from what I've read, is all stainless, while the 642 is aluminum with a stainless cylinder. Can anyone name an all stainless version of the 642? That is, no ejector shroud, j-frame snub, hammerless. Exactly like the...

I just picked up, finally, my first P&R Model 19-2, circa 1966. I want to shoot it when I go to the range next, and I have a box of magnums that someone gave to me a few years ago. Its an older with 2002 written on it. Winchester Supreme Partition Gold, 180 grain bullets supposedly for hunting...

I saw these the other day, Remington Ultimate Defense in .380. never heard of them, and Google turns up little behind the fact that they exist. Is a brass jacket better for penetration in a .380 round? Any general information?

There is a Beretta cheetah 85BB which is on my gun list, for sale on GB. It says it was imported by Berber Corp NY. I've never heard of this either importing or otherwise, and a Google search turns up nothing about guns. Does anyone have any info on it?

Does anyone have any info for a good shop or pawn shop that has a large selection of used guns? So many of the guns on my list are no longer in production, and since I've only moved here recently, I haven't found anyplace good for used guns. Any suggestions for me to check out much appreciated

I'm going to finally be picking up a Glock 30s in the near future which I intend to carry. I've never owned a .45 Glock, only the 22 and 19. I'm aware of the difficulty in getting that tenth round into the magazine, and possible malfunctions as a result of the pressure. I am very interested in...

There is an unfired, NIB S&W Model 66-1 for sale on GB right now. Pinned and recessed. I would love to buy it, but I'm sure it will go higher than I could afford. How much would you guys be willing to pay for such a gun? In my random searches, I don't see very many of the P&R 66's for sale in...

I recently was forced to sell my HK P7M8 on Gunbroker. The buyer lives in Spokane, and I'm in Seattle. I shipped it the other day, and to my great surprise, was told that I had to pay a $40 transfer fee in order to ship it. And the buyer would also pay the fee on his end to. What??? I have...

With the release of the Ruger LC9 in a striker fired platform, I would be very interested in an LCP in the same. I used to own an LCP in gen 1, but I hated the trigger. It was far too heavy for me to enjoy, and I like shooting pocket pistols. So I sold it, but now the potential of a striker...

I've had this for about a month, but wanted to wait until I had the better grips for it. Model 10-8, circa 1982, factory nickel plated, 3 inch barrel. Came with magna grips, the ones pictured are Hogue checkered Rosewood. Took me about a month to get them, and I'm waiting on a set of Spegel...

I have been thinking (for deep into the future) of making a VERY custom built revolver, and I'm all about aesthetics being just perfect. There is a bit of terminology that has escaped me. In this picture: What exactly is the conical tapering from the front of the frame going down the barrel...
