I just traded for a very nice blued .44 mag. Dan Wesson with the 8" heavy-lug vent-rib barrel. This is my first DW, so I have some questions though. First, where do they put the model number? It was made in Manson, Mass., but seems to have no model number anywhere on the gun. Perhaps I am...

Hello. I am considering the purchase of a 629 4" .44 mag. with the standard barrel (no Mountain Gun, thanks!). For those of you who own and shoot one, especially one of the new ones, what kind of accuracy are you seeing at 25 yds. off a bench? My experience with big-bore Smiths is not nearly...

Can anyone give us a review/range report on theirs? I have been secretly wanting one of these for a while as a smaller, lighter replacement for my Redhawk, which is heavier than I like to carry hunting or for occasional CCW. Thanks.

Hello. I've just been wondering if anyone has shot one of these guns and could give us a review. I'm wondering what kind of groups they get, if they're military-reliable, and if they'd be suitable for hunting. I'm really looking at the 22" wood version, but if anybody wants to talk about...

I see Brownells has the Fire Point for $249, and since I love red dot sights and would love to throw my irons over the hill, I was just wondering if anyone on here has used one. For those of you not familiar with the Tasco Optima-type sights, they use a small base which replaces the rear sight...

Ok, actually it's not much of one, but I did finally get the gun this evening (after eons of waiting) and I put a modest amount of ammo through it. First Impressions - this gun is very, very nice looking, having a mirror-bright stainless finish that was very, very impressively applied. I only...

Yes, I feel like a complete PIA for posting yet another thread about this, but in my previous thread I mentioned that I really liked a new Rossi Stainless .357 I looked at today better than the M85 Taurus I looked at several weeks ago. In fact, I kind of fell in love with it. I really like the...

Ok, I know I'm going to "get what I pay for" probably, but I'm looking hard at a Model 85 because the price is just sooo right. I'm wanting something for pocket carry, and while I liked my 638, I finally gave it up since it was a little difficult for me to make follow-up shots with (too...

Just contemplating how dirt cheap 9mm ammo has become and was wondering about the 6.5" Ruger's accuracy. I think it could lead to cheap practice and a "plinking nirvana". I already know all about the THEORETICAL disadvantages of this set-up, so I'm only interested in hearing from people who...

Today at the local indoor range, my wife and I put 150 rounds of assorted types through the little BM. On the second clip, I had one jam, but I think that was due to me not paying attention while loading the magazine. The magazines are kind of funny in that they require you to push the rounds...

Ok, so it's not "new", but I just got it from SOG. I hate it when people talk about their new gun they haven't shot yet, but I'm going to make some judgements about it anyway based on an extremely limited amount of shooting I did with it last night before dark. First of all, I was really...

Been thinking about purchasing a good, cheap 9mm for range fun and for concealed carry. Problem is, funds are limited (so I won't be buying the Kahr MK9 I really want) and these are the only two guns in my price range. Since my favorite mode of carry is pocket carry, I'm thinking the P11...

Which marine-coated model has the more durable finish? I have not seen the Mossberg Mariner in person, so I could not try it, but did look at a Remington Marine Magnum today and was real impressed. However, I noticed that it is not drilled and tapped, which is important to me because I can't...

Time to buy a semi-auto rifle with all this mayhem going on. Although I've had a Mini 14 Ranch in the past and a standard Mini 14 and would never, EVER go there again, I'm somewhat smitten with the Mini 30 idea. Of course, if I had more money, I'd just forget this and get an Ar-15, but I'm...

Just received my order from Ruger for the Redhawk replacement front sights. The Sky Blue one and the flourescent orange/red one look the best. But when I went to take the old front sight off, it wouldn't budge! Is there some trick to taking it off? The manual just says to press in on the...

I am looking to round up a nice leather crossdraw holster for my 7.5 inch redhawk, preferably one with no thumbsnap. Is such a thing available? Also, if you've found a better way to carry your own "Big Red", feel free to share! Thanks!

Anybody have one? I'd like to get a stainless 20" in .45 Colt and have the following questions: 1. Can it be scoped? 2. Can it handle Ruger-level handloads? 3. How is the accuracy? 4. Quality? Thanks in advance!

Springfield .45 Compacts: Alloy VS. All-Steel? Both pistols are of the stainless persuasion. The alloy Compact has a 3.9 inch barrel and the Ultra Compact has a 3.5 inch barrel, so I really wasn't making my decision based on the differences between the two models, just was wondering if alloy...

I stumbled onto a possible source for these and here is the link: http://www.ammoclip.com/mini-30.htm I don't know if he has any in stock, since I've never done business with this guy. I don't know who makes them. Hope this helps.

Hope to hear from some owners. In checking out AO's site, they are now supposedly using Kahr's CNC know-how to produce these things, very interesting ...
