I have a lady friend near 90, who carries a pretty, little, 2", polished Stainless ROSSI 5 shot - in a velvet pouch, in her purse. Her & her Husband took me shooting at their favorite rural location. She was quite good with the little Rossi, & the handguns I brought as well. I was impressed with...

I've noticed quite a few old guys, with no belt, on cargo pants with suspenders & a very heavy, lumpy right Pocket.

I rarely carry, & live in the country. I smile a lot, & have good manners. Consider this - I carry when I'm in strange territory - or ATLANTA. In my 78 years I've never had to draw a gun - SO COMFORT IS IMPORTANT & PRACTICAL. HOWEVER; I do not feel under-armed - my Fiesty DEPENDABLE MAKS, they...

20 years ago, As an Educator, & a Department Head, I had a number of work-study "Monitors" to assist with menial duties. One such helper, mentioned he had inherited a .45 caliber S&W revolver. Then mentioned it made him uncomfortable to have around when he was depressed. Still not sure whether...

I will not own a DA only revolver for obvious reasons. I do understand the hammer spur snagging clothes argument. The above type with the shrouded hammer is a sensible way to have SA/DA in a concealed revolver. I own a Taurus Clone in .357. For personal C.C. I prefer my Russian Makarov, or...

One of my semi-auto pistols failed to eject it properly. I still have the rest of the box somewhere. Can't recommend it.

Do a search on line, There are a bunch of stainless S&W Police trade-ins with many of the arms dealers now - some very nice looking french contract S&Ws Prices seem fair enough to get a couple. Happy hunting, C.

+1, I also prefer Minwax brand Tung oil - to linseed oil, as linseed oil can get very dark. Tung oil penetrates, dries & protects without darkening. I have restored gloss grips by stripping, fine sanding & building up Gloss Exterior Polyurethane - done on these used grips I refurbished - to...

IF YOU HAVE A SOLDERING IRON YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF. I'd like to see an abstract Tribal Design on one.

Here are MY 9mm Stainless Turkish Clones of CZ-75B & Hi-Power. Sarsilmas 2000, & Tisas Regent Hi power. I could own them - because they were very affordable. A couple of my best purchases - they are wonderful, & do everything right, + STAINLESS !

EYE CANDY, NOT MINE - But a collection to admire. Back before Ban - when cheap, & in many USA stores.

NOTHING NOW - It would be Scotch IF I was allowed to drink anymore. Doc sez Nix.

Very unlikely to happen ( But in case Santa is reading ) Seeing this outfit increased my pulse rate. Until I saw these photos - I didn't know it existed. COOL HUH ?

When I was saving up for, & seeking a decent S&W 1917 (or Brazil 1937) - I happened to see This Nickel plated S&W K frame .38 spl. At my Friends Pawnshop. IT set back my savings - but I had to have it. About 50 years ago I knew an elderly detective who was on desk duty. He had one exactly like...

The RUGER seems very similar to the MARLIN RANCH CARBINE I had. I went through a number of options - until I chose MY IDEAL Carbine in 9mm. They were very cheap 2 years ago, & are still reasonable. They are knock offs of the Swiss B&T our Military just bought - which sold me. I have been...
