    Who are the next generation of firearms writers?

    I’ve never been a big reader of regular books, but my dad always got the monthly subscription to the PA Game News many moons ago. The artist who created the front covers on most of them was Ned Smith. He was a great wildlife artist and writer. His monthly contribution was called “Gone For The...

    Sight Elevation issues with new 629

    This S&W "quality" on their new guns seems to be the subject matter of threads almost weekly. 10 inches at 25 yards seems quite unacceptable, to put it mildly. I suppose that was pretty decent of the shop owner. Let him deal with the factory. Maybe this is why the older used ones are priced up...

    Help me understand something, please.

    What the heck is a push notification? Also, do I want to enable it? I'm thinking it has something to do with a cliff, but I'm not asking permission to push someone off it. Really, is it something important?

    Taurus 817 - 7-Shot 38 Special Carry Gun

    "No hammer lock hole either by the looks of it,".....NY-1 Did ANY revolver manufacturer besides S&W have the action lock on it? I do like the plain Jane looks on the gun. I have a thread here about the 8-shot .22 Magnum, Model 942M Ultra-Lite, that I just bought last week. The color combos of...

    Well, our Snow Bunny died

    I always thought him trying to get back into the album was a pretty cool picture! Many people had no clue what was cool about it, or who Lewis Carroll was. Or did he really write a children’s book while eating peyote soup?

    Well It Finally Happened to Me

    I've bought a few on this Forum, as well as a few other accessaries, but haven't been ripped off yet. I use USPS money orders; as if that's going to stop a thief! The most I ever spent on here was around $13-1400. Not enough to cut into my beer money but enough to pits me off! But all went well...

    Well, our Snow Bunny died

    "My brother and his wife had a big long hair rabbit they named Hasenpfeffer." Perfect name for a home-raised rabbit! My mom would cook it but refused to eat it. It was pretty good, as was anything she cooked (except the tuna noodle casserole and her olive-polluted meatloaf.) I haven't had any...

    S&W revolver VS Taurus revolver systems

    In reference to the original post, the S&W does have an easier hammer to cock. I guess that’s to be expected.

    S&W revolver VS Taurus revolver systems

    I couldn’t post both guns together for some reason.

    S&W revolver VS Taurus revolver systems

    Here’s the new Taurus; no beauty prizes in this gun’s future, that’s for sure! Grandson and I will be playing “kill the paper” this coming week. I figured I would throw in the the Charter Arms “Off Duty” DAO in .38Spl, too. It has a nicer grip handle, probably needed for the larger cartridge. I...

    Well, our Snow Bunny died

    My daughter Sarah was working before Christmas several, six, years ago and some guy was giving away “free” baby bunnies. Of course Sarah took one. She moved out after HS graduation and left Snow here. He’s been sick lately and he didn’t quite make it to the vet appointment. Angel, my crazy...

    S&W revolver VS Taurus revolver systems

    Geez, I just bought a Taurus revolver today. It looks as if it was never shot. The action feels pretty good so I bought it. It's an 8 shot .22 Magnum. I don't care what the brand is, I've been wanting a revolver in 22 Mag. I expected to find a 5 or 6 shot, but the 8 shot and ultra-light was a...

    8 shot Lightweight 22 magnum Taurus

    I've been noticing more of the 22 WMR in the sporting goods stores more often. The 327 Federal Magnum not so much, but it's available online if you want to wait a few days. I'm on the fence with the Lipsey 32 H&R Mag: the price isn't too bad, but that bronze...I don't know!

    8 shot Lightweight 22 magnum Taurus

    For $374 including PA tax, even though it’s a Taurus, it’s what I have been looking for. Not necessarily a Taurus but for the money I can’t go wrong. Lightweight and a 2” barrel. I think they call it an ultralight or something similar. We will see tomorrow. I know most of you cringe at the...

    K22 masterpiece day

    I have Dad’s K22, 6”, shipped in 1950, in very good condition. He always took it small game hunting so if the dog brought the rabbit around and stopped, he’d down it with the 22. Only one hole and no spitting out BBs at supper. The Bauer Brothers holster kept the gun scratch-free. It’s super...
