I've had this one for several months now, and maybe 800-1,000 rds through it. I'm not attempting a review here, just wanted to share the experience. I bought this used off off gunbroker, as is my custom, and as has been my luck, it appeared unfired. I think prior to taking it out for the first...

Picked up my RIA 10mm double stack today and thought I'd share first impressions. I think the model is 52009, and that's a whole lot easier than trying to figure out what they call it. It's this one, the 5" model without tac rail: Naturally, I'll have to throw in some background. A couple...

Front sight was wobbling all over the place while at the range today. Packed up and went home, and discovered just now those aren't socket head screws holding that thing down. So, I assume they used a mandrel and press to stake the two little bosses on the sight to hold it in place. Have you...

Had a bit of time to go to the range today with the No 1, after having shimmed up the forearm hanger and bedding the forearm to ensure it only touches the hanger. The rifle was in the garage so it started out at a temperature of maybe 20-30F, being about 15F outside today. Everything today was...

Second time out with the Ruger No 1 .45-70 and if anything, the situation is worse than the first time. I mean, it's really bad. Tonight I stuck with the 325 gr cast bullets because they did the best the first time out--by quite a bit compared to the 410 gr guys. This evening it was 49 gr 4198...

Not really my first rifle at all, but my first and only in about 25 years. Please allow me to share my excitement. A new No 1 in .45-70 with the 26" barrel. Now, perhaps most of your life you've wanted to own some particular thing--maybe a '67 Sting Ray, a classic bike or maybe that 35mm...

I'm not a rifle guy. My new No 1 in .45-70 will be my only rifle, and 100 yds is very likely the longest range I'll shoot it, at least most of the time. I'm shooting paper only, I'm old and my eyes suck, and I'm not going to shoot competitively, if there is such a thing. My fantasy right now is...

I had originally posted this overview over in the Automatics forum, as the continuation of a thread discussing 45 Mag in general. I've got plans to load quite a bit of this fine caliber and collect chrono data as well, so I thought I'd put it all in one place. I hope that folks who have had...

In an unprecedented display of member service, my Club actually called me today to say my Grizzly had arrived. In about 15 minutes my transfer was complete. I actually thought I had won the auction for one with an ambidextrous, plated thumb safety, and that was the only thing I was a bit...

Of course I was sure post these pics at the Smith & Wesson Forum so you may have seen them--or of course you might not give a hoot. Either way, here it is. Been hankerin' for a revolver for about 4-5 months now, for the first time in about 50 years of shooting. I found The One a couple of weeks...

I've never fired any Tanfoglio handguns but was very impressed by the guns I've handled based on general appearance (fit, finish, materials, etc). Does anyone own this particular one or even know anyone who does? I'm considering it for bullseye shooting, thinking I might be able to get more for...
