I have a few pair Herretts made as "open back Troopers" for N-frames. I think they are a little beefier than their Ropers, but can't swear to that. I found a set of standard Troopers that are great on my 586.

Take a look at the Buffalo Arms site, or just order their catalog. Hard to find a better outfit for black powder cartridge guns.

I am disappointed that Midway cancels orders without offering their customers other options. They are not using "books" to track backorders. That is what part of their order taking and processing IT system does for them. The cost to track a BO should be negligible. I offered Sinclair as...

I bought from Midway for about 20 years. I placed a backorder for brass in Nov. 2012. They canceled the order mid-2013. It wasn't that the item was discontinued. They were still offering the exact same item under a different SKU. They basically said I was SOL. They "couldn't" add me to the...

Was that from "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada?"

Pretty much what you would expect from the number 2 Dem in the Senate: "Thank you for contacting me about gun violence prevention. I appreciate hearing from you. Americans are entitled to own and use guns responsibly. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees this right. In...

I have a Shiloh Long Range Express in 40 x 2 1/4 Sharps Bottleneck. I have used a few different smokeless loads, but am now using only black. Goex is all that is available locally, but I have picked up some Swiss 1.5. I haven't shot it enough yet to see how it really compares to my Goex...

The first S&W I bought was a 6 1/2" 24-3. The first one I shot was my dad's 1950 Army that I have now. I've never owned an M&P.

Just called and upgraded to life. Too easy not to do it!

As 2hawk has said, the strength and power of the NRA come from the members. The public faces of the NRA speak for us and represent our views. The NRA does note vote. Its member vote. The leverage the NRA has is that we members talk to, write to, and reward those legislators that support us...

I haven't bought many guns at gun shows, but I have bought many other items that I would not have easily found anywhere else. I found an old powder meter that works great for big bore rifles. I lost track of the out-of-print books I have found at shows. I have several out-of-production pocket...

Cool! I have a Shiloh in .40 - 2 1/4. Looking forward to reading your range results. What is the twist rate? My rifle is 1:18. Most moulds sold now cast bullets too long to work well. Everyone wants 400+ grains, but the original factory loads were 330-370 grains. The Saeco 640 is a good...

Wow! Great gun and priceless to your family. Cherish and enjoy it!
