    Colt Python with 5” barrel

    Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I just discovered that they now make a Python with a 5 inch barrel! I just received this ad from my local gun store. I have a 6 inch Python, and I love it. But this 5 inch barrel length has me intrigued. I think I want one. Does anybody...

    Bianchi Minimalist holster

    Does anyone here use the Bianchi Minimalist™ Belt Slide Holster? How does it work for you? Is that little elastic loop secure? What are your experiences with it? I already own and use the P.I. Belt Slide Holster by Bianchi, and I like it. I’m just looking for something with a bit more...

    I am so excited to see that Colt is coming out with a .22 LR version of the King Cobra! I’m definitely getting one! I am also happy to hear that the grips are interchangeable with other Cobra models. Now I need to decide between the 4” or the 6” model… Here’s a video about it...

    Colt Official Police .38 spl

    the Barney Fife gun I have one that was manufacured in 1960. I purposely bought one from that year because that was the first year that the Andy Griffith Show was on the air, and that was the exact sidearm that Deputy Barney Fife carried!

    .22 vs. .38 wadcutter

    Which is better for home defense? .22 long rifle, .22 mag, or a .38 special 148 grain target wadcutter? First of all, let me state that I own .38 special revolvers that are rated for +P ammo, and I actually shoot +P ammo out of them. So don’t waste your time posting things such as “there’s...

    Question(s) about Ford’s Refinishing services

    Reno 911

    Who here watches (or has seen) the show on Comedy Central called Reno 911? I think that it’s hilarious. Also, if you’re an LEO tell us if you find it offensive or not. I really don’t think that it’s derogatory towards police officers, or is disrespectful in any way. Do you? To keep this...

    Another gun transfer question.

    I guess that the crux of this question is “does the owner have to be there for the transfer?” Here’s the situation: I want to buy a revolver from my step-father (who lives in Pennsylvania). My mother is coming to visit me (in Oregon) in December. Can she bring the revolver to me in her...

    substandard search function

    What is the deal with the search function on this website? It really stinks! I’m trying to find all threads that deal with 1911 style handguns that are chambered in 9mm. So, in the search field I type “9mm 1911”. It finds all threads that mention “9mm” or “1911”, which is of no help at all...

    is +P safe in my gun?

    Forgive me if this has already been asked, but I used the search function and couldn’t find a similar thread. I just purchased a beautiful Model 60 made in 1979 and I want to know if it’s safe to shoot some +P ammo through it.
