    I'll be needin' that for squirrels and such...

    I got a MidwayUSA flyer in the mail the other day. Normally, I give them a scant look and toss them in the trash, since I'm not generally into optics or camo. But, this time, I looked through it a bit more carefully and noticed a graphic for Uberti black powder revolvers. Now, I have...

    Range Report - CZ75B .40 S&W

    I've owned this CZ75B in .40 for about 3 years, but I had never gotten around to taking it to the range until today. For the reloaders amongst us, I grabbed 100 rounds of reloaded ammo using 180 grain JHP's and Power Pistol powder, and headed out. The first thing that I noticed was that the...

    Quality time with the Redhawk...

    I hadn't shot a .44 in a very long time, so I decided to pull the Ruger Redhawk from its slumber and make the trek to the local indoor range. I took 100 rounds of .44 handloads with me (200 grain JHP's and 17.5 grains of #7). This target is 20 rounds at 20 yards. I had a great time! I'm...

    Ballpark value of 1967 "T" Series Hi Power?

    A good friend of mine recently told me that he owned a "9mm pistol", but that he had not shot it for many years. I did not know that he even owned a gun, but we were discussing a recent purchase that I had made, and he mentioned this gun. After a lunch together recently, he brought out what...

    Pietta 1851 Confederate Navy

    I never thought I'd do something like this, but tonight, I had a few spare minutes before meeting some out of town friends for dinner. Cabela's is in the same shopping center as the restaurant, so I was cruising the gun cases. They had a Pietta black powder 1851 Confederate (brass frame) .44...

    Ruger/Colt hybrid revolver? What do you think?

    While browsing Gunbroker, I came across this listing for a Ruger Security Six with a Colt Python barrel. Apparently, this project was professionally done back in the 80's by pistolsmith Bill Davis, with whom I am not familiar. The listing also shows a magazine article that was associated with...

    Love in the Desert...

    A few months back, I was in the mood for a new 1911. I wanted something a little perkier than the plethora of basic Mil-Spec offerings on the market today, and I already own an older Springfield 1911A1, so the SA Mil-Spec wasn't really an option, anyway. I like extended beavertails, thumb...

    That New Kahr Smell

    I've entered the world of polymer framed, DAO pistols with this new Kahr CW9. I picked it up on March 1st, but haven't shot it yet. I might have some time to get to the range tomorrow...I hope. I've heard a lot of positive reports about the CW's, and I liked the way that it feels for such a...

    Kahr CW9 or CW40?

    I've never owned a polymer framed pistol before, or a striker fired pistol, except for an...ahem...Jennings...ahem...but, I'm considering a Kahr CW9 or CW40 as a small, concealable package should I decide to finally CC at some point in the near future. I've read some good things about the CW9...

    Winchester Black Talon...

    While going through my ammo and reloading supplies the other day, I found 2 boxes of original .45 Winchester Black Talon...that EVIL ammo that was banned back in the '90's, after a psycho's shooting spree on a Long Island commuter train. Remember that one? I remember that TIME magazine had a...
