I was shooting at the same old boiler expansion tank I’ve had out there for a while now. Lots of dents with random holes through one side. I was shooting straight lead powder coated 158 SWC with 3.5gn Bullseye from my 642. I’ve seen plenty go slightly to the sides or splattering. I...

I bought one last Spring. Nice gun trigger fair. I was going to buy a Pringle’s kit but held off. 3-500 dry fires and a couple hundred 38s later I find this thing stages beautifully. You haul back till you feel the click then it’s bang. Very nice and feels much like a double...

Seriously who worries about something like that if your life is on the line. Ya know by definition it better be just that bad or some slick legal eagle is going is going to put your rear in a sling for using it anyways. Way back in the day I used to encounter guys who totaled their...

Too right. I never thought a tiny pocket pistol could ever shoot well enough to carry for defensive purposes. Still I lugged too much iron too many years on the job and came to hate weight so I took a chance and got a Ruger LCP Custom. Not much of a powerhouse but I figure its more...

Gee, I got my 4" way back in 1980 on McGraw Kassern Rod & Gun Club shop in Germany. I paid a whole $185 :Dbrand new. Of course I was making $4.65 working for AAFES so it might as well have been a grand.

I mean come on autos have taken over more and more of the real protection world and are generally better for that purpose with little argument. So just why are wheel guns, any make , so ridiculously expensive especially compared to the so much more reasonable autos. I almost wish I had...

You might want to pull that firing pin and give the whole channel a real good cleaning. Chances are somewhere along the line you fired some dirtier than normal ammo and some of the residue built up in there or dirt flew in off a dropped mag. They always made us drop ours in the dirt when...

Could you imagine buying one of those and carrying it for a duty gun? Ohhhhh myyyyyy. I bought a Glock 23 back in 1990 so I could get rid of that horribly heavy CS-1 revolver they used to issue. Of course all the tough guys carried 45's which I had my fill of as an Army MP so I got...

Nice job. One thing I would suggest if you do it again. Use a dremel tool with one of those tiny 1" super thin cut off wheels to cut your slot. I use those when I have to fix bunged up slot heads on stuck screws from time to time and they work great . They also cut a very fine accurate...

That's very true. Back when I was an MP in Germany during the late 70's the German Polizei all carried .32's. They all had those horrible fold over cover holsters too. They went to 9mm in the early 80's . German MP's carried P-1's in 9mm all the while though during that period. Many...

I'm not buying all this better stuff. Maybe if you are a poor shot but it looks a bit like just another gimmick to me. Lets see the Gelatin test..............
