    Kimber K6s, what a beauty!

    Took my K6s out for a shooting session again this past weekend. I have gotta say, I have been so impressed with this little revolver. I have the 3" DAO, though I immediately changed out the wood grips for the stock rubber ones. The more I shoot this thing, the more my Smith's and Ruger's get...

    A Revolver Hiatus?? What to Add to the Collection?

    Hey guys, I hope everyone and their families have had a wonderful 2018 thus far. Over the years I have made it a habit to drop by my fav local guns shops on a regular basis, adding to my revolver collection whenever I see something that I feel is worthy to take up some space in my safe. The...

    Ruger Single-Seven 327 Fed Mag....to buy or not to buy??

    Ok folks, when the .327 mag cartridge came out along with the subsequent Ruger double action revolver offerings in 2007, I decided to pass. My thought process was why should I get another caliber (along with all the ammo and such) when my many .38/.357 revolvers are more than sufficient. Well...

    What is/are the difference(s) between the Smith & Wesson model 14 and model 15?

    Today I was at one of my favorite gun shops and was looking at some of their used Smith's. I had a model 14 and a model 15 out side by side and couldn't really see the difference between the two. Both K frames, both had adjustable rear sights, both blued of course.......couldn't see a...

    Ruger SP101 3" DAO?!

    I hope everyone is enjoying the sweet smells of summer. Stopped by a local shop today to see what had been traded in. While perusing the revolver section, I noticed a 3" SP101 that was double action only, exactly like my 2" (factory). It is identicle to the spurless hammer on my 2", so it's...

    Ruger Bearcat; Which Variant for a Young Shooter?

    Hey guys, My oldest boy turns 12 this summer and I am going to get him his first pistol. I am strongly considering the timeless Bearcat. Ultimately I want to get him a single action 22 revolver. I was out looking at Bearcats today and there are a lot of them sitting on the shelves, both used...

    Let's talk about the Smith & Wesson Model 19

    Today I was lucky enough to pick up a S&W Model 19 for $400. In is in decent condition with some honest wear on the cyclinder, which I don't mind as I plan on shooting it for the rest of my life. It is a 19-4 with a pinned barrel and recessed cylinder. It will make a good brother to my models...

    Taurus 608; Worth the Gamble??

    I have been wanting an 8-shot .357 for quite some time. I don't want to go with a S&W 627 mostly due to the lock, and the price isn't encouraging. A while back I came across a used pre-lock 627 at a local gun shop. Had to think about the $$$ for a night. Went back the next day to get...

    Rear Sight Attachment Screw for 686-5

    Hello, I just recently purchased a used 686-5, and the original owner had a scope on the revolver. I have no interest at all in the scope (which I will be selling on Ebay), but he no longer had the rear sight for the gun. So I ordered a rear sight assembly from Brownells. Well, I got it in...

    S&W 686 7" Magnum Series Holster

    My brother bought one of these 686s with a 7" barrel. I am trying to locate a good leather holster for it. Any ideas? He may have to get something custom made for the 7" barrel. I believe he would want something like a Galco DAO or a Bianchi Cyclone. All suggestions would be appreciated!!!

    I Guess I was Naive in Thinking that all Police Officers were Excellent Shots.

    I was at the range yesterday blasting away and a police officer came up to shoot at the table next to me. My initial thought was that I could learn a thing or two from this "professional" so I decided to pay close attention. Now I certainly am not the worlds greatest shot, but I can usually...

    M&P40c Recoil Management -- As Good as Everyone Says?

    As I have been researching different polymer pistols for possible carry options in a 40 cal, I keep coming across claims of how much lighter the recoil is for an M&P compared to other polymer frames. Does the M&P 40 compact have less recoil compared to its polymer competitors? Namely the...

    XD 45 Compact VS Glock 30 SF

    I have read a plethora of threads regarding both guns and thought I would start a new thread to get some more direct responses. I have looked at all other options in a 45 for carry and have narrowed my choices accordingly. This gun would be used primarily as a carry piece. I know they are a...

    Questions about the Compact Polymer Baby Eagle

    I am just a little curious about the Baby Eagle. As far as I can tell, there seems to be two different models. There is a steel Baby Eagle and there is a polymer Baby Eagle. I would be interested in the polymer one because it looks to be quite a bit smaller and would probably be better for...
