    Snubby Kit Gun

    Compared to the 4” KC, the 2” and 3” are just about perfectly balanced in my hand. Love my 617s, but that’s a heavy hunk of metal …especially, when shooting the better part of a brick. Just so you’re not on the fence too long : ) Have fun!

    Snubby Kit Gun

    Very nice! I've really enjoyed the few Charter Arms snubbies. A "bright" Undercover helps keeps watch in the office.

    Snubby Kit Gun

    Thanks. It's now a Colt standard catalog item, along with a 3". Seems like it came out quietly. I added the grips (Thailand) but otherwise the 2" model comes stock with a brass bead front. Not a fan of the FO fronts on the 4.25", but easy to change.

    Snubby Kit Gun

    I agree. Many fond memories of the JC Higgins/High Standard Sentinal and H&Rs.

    Snubby Kit Gun

    Thanks. I love the 34 and 63. Let a nice old 63 get away many years ago.

    Blued vs Nickel vs Stainless

    Hard to beat Colt Royal blue, but even an everyday work gun can look good… Love a nice nickel or polished SS too…

    New SP101 front sight loose

    I spoke with Ruger CS this morning. They are sending out a replacement front sight. Seems like the most reasonable place to start. I no longer have a workshop, so hopefully, the dealer can slide a new one in. In spite of the hiccup, very happy with the FFL and Ruger so far. Everyone...

    New SP101 front sight loose

    Thanks gentlemen. If it were used, I might try a temporary thread-locker and see if it holds. But, …being factory-new, I will be patient and send it back to Ruger. My only concern is that it doesn’t get the Bubba treatment at Ruger. I don’t think that would happen. I appreciate...

    New SP101 front sight loose

    My old 327 Ruger in stainless was a casualty of a failed marriage several years ago. It was the only 327 in the lot. For several years now, I kicked a lot of 327 tires but never found a model that stood out, or was reasonably priced. I came very close with the Taurus 3” but wanted a nice blue...

    Thoughts on the Taurus 692 Executive 3" convertible

    I must be the luckiest guy alive because I purchased 4 Taurus revolvers and 1 semi-auto in the last year. Not one issue. Can’t say that about my new model 63 that had a bit of rough machining and would not trigger-return, or the Colt Cobra that required a return to factory for a DLC recoat...

    Thoughts on the Taurus 692 Executive 3" convertible

    Last month, I procrastinated enough to miss out on a Taurus factory rebate offer by several days. I figured, "why not"; submitted my sales info and a request to Taurus customer service asking if they might still honor a late request. Within 24 hours, I received a nice reply from customer...

    Vaquero?

    New Vaquero Montado 357 I’ve had a Vaquero Montado in 357 for many years. Very solid SAA repro with transfer bar. Sight picture isn’t the greatest, but it always worked well enough for everyday plinking or a farm gun. Just picked up a Taurus Deputy in 45LC, (also available in 357) with a...
