When I was a teenager, people would go to the range with one of those wooden pachmayr shooting boxes with mounted spotting scope. They would shoot two guns. Matching model 14 and 17. Strictly bulls eye shooting. The 14 gives me some real fond memories.

How bad is the recoil on these with standard ammo?

Man do I feel bad. I took my 17 back to the gun store and the guy I always deal with took the gun back to the gunsmith. When he came back with the gun all the bluing was there. Apparently it was lead deposits. Boy I felt dumb but was excited at the same time. The gunsmith used shooter choice...

As I mentioned yesterday I had a problem with the bluing on a classic model 17. All the bluing came off the front of the cylinder when I cleaned it with break free. I also had a classic 27 where the bluing was so thin you could see the metal. I'm staying away from classics. I just don't...

I used a clean t shirt to wipe it down along with a little break free.

Well I took the new model 17 out today for the second time. Shoots great however, when I cleaned it today using break free on the front of the cylinder to remove the fouling the bluing came off. I break free to aggressive? Would this happen on a older blued smith?

Oops I did it again. I told you guys the other day I put a Model 17 Classic and a new model 41 seven inch on layaway. I also told you a Model 18 classic was calling my name. Realizing these things are so few and far between and making the mistake of walking into the gun store today, I couldn't...

When I get them off layaway (anticipation probably won't let me wait long) I will post them.

Went to the local gun store today. They had three model 41s 7 inch. I cherry picked one and put it on layaway. What's bad is I put a new Model 17 classic on layaway yesterday and there is a model 18 calling my name. Help!!!!!!
