Shotgun from Cabelas I bought a Belgian Browning Trap shotgun from Cabelas in Louisville, KY several years ago. An outstanding gun at a more-than-fair price. Had it shipped to my FFL here. The Cabelas salesman called later to make sure I was satisfied. Was I pleasantly surprised? You Bet ! Don

The 'most fun to shoot' in my Winchester collection is a takedown Model 1892 in 32-20. Has a tang-mounted sight, and it shoots better than I do. Don

I've used Hoppe's exclusively since 1958. Revolvers, pistols, rifles, shotguns. Blued, stainless, nickel. Never, ever, had an 'issue'. I always wipe the guns down immediately after cleaning. The formulation was changed years ago (and that explains the minor change in smell)...something about...

Over the years I've owned (and used ) many 27's, pre-27's, 28's, R.M.s and a 686. Likewise, had three Pythons. All fine revolvers, but NOTHING locks up like a Colt. Nothing. S & W and Colt are great in their own areas. Don

MP1518 Big Cholla makes some great points. A factory B'Way Trap Superposed had a standard LOP of 14-5/8" including the recoil pad. HOWEVER, back in the day, you could order 'em to your own specs. Broadway ribs arrived in 1961, and a brand-new Broadway Trap in Grade 1 cost $ 350 !! Don

Shooting4life Sell it. The price and time both seem right. Don

Rustyt1953 Just have to add a splash of ketchup to that mayo on a non-fried tubesteak sammich ! YUM ! Don

JohnRippert Find the very best 2nd generation SAA you can afford, grit your teeth, and buy it. I've owned most brands, and if I were looking to buy anything other than Colt, it'd be one of Doug Turnbull's. Nothing beats the real thing, and you're wise to be looking. Don

Like Muley Gil, I reloaded with those Elmer Keiths (back when I had a 455-to-45LC conversion TL). Strangely, accuracy was just as good with 'cowboy action' RNFP factory ammunition (!). Both were about as good as the open/blade sight combo was capable of. Don

An 'epic fail'...sorry.

About five years ago, I started using Titegroup in a 45 Colt caliber application. The best thing I can say about it is that its performance in the large cases was inconsistent. Gave away the best part of a five-pound jug of the stuff, and never looked back. Glad I did. Just saying... Don

I've posted photos of my good old 3rd model W & K 44, but here's proof the good folks at Wolf & Klar also did business in other S&W's (:>). This M 1917 commercial model is from a 1926 shipment. Don

Outstanding! Given the opportunity, I'd have bought it in a New York minute. Don

I sure agree with everyone who's posted about Paul's fine work. My 'King Super Target' 38/44 has some vintage-modified magnas on it, and they had several issues. Wishing to keep 'em just as they were in the 30's, I sent the grips to DWFAN, and soon they were back, absolutely beautiful. Paul's...
