My quest for the elusive 3" Model 66 is coming to an abrupt end. The prices have jumped over $1000 and that is a bit much for a used handgun or even an older ANIB version as the sellers would state. I like the Pencil Barred M64 also and have been looking for a couple of those in the local area...

I am lucky enough to have the pleasure of having in my possession a 4" and 5" Post War Pre Model 10's. I shot both yesterday and I must say for a 68 and 67 year old guns, they are tight and fire with the utmost of ease. I could only imagine them how solid a revolver they must have been years...

Model 60 with Uncle Mike's Boot Grips, Model 66-1 4" and Model 19 2.5". Ordering Crimson Trace for the Model 60 this week. "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON"

I have both in 2.5' and I like them also. The 4" is a good shooter especially with the pinned and recessed features.

M64 with tapers are great looking guns, and you have a nice example. You paid less than most are going for nationally and that is a good thing.A lot of guns are old prison guns and will have the bull barrels. I found a few on Gunbroker.com going for$399 - $567, so you did pretty well. For...

Yesterday was truly a blessed day! Went up to a friend's private range and had a chance to fire all my stainless 60 series 38/357 revolvers except my 2,5 inch M66-2. Haven recently purchased an M60, M64-5, M65-4, M66-1 and M67-1I needed to shoot them to gain more appreciation for the...

Taurus makes the PT 1911 and it is just at capable as any 1911 .45ACP pistol on the market. They are usually around the same price point as the Rock Island Armory, and have about $1600.00 of custome features for the price of a sub $750 gun. I have a Para Ordinance Warthawg in 3" and a Taurus PT...

Last thing I ever want to do is offend someone on this sight but, "Boolit," is actually spelled BULLET. You had me confused for a moment wondering what you were talking about. Sorry no intent of embarassing someone.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Looking at your collection, I would say your children, if you have any will have no problem getting tuition for college. I would not sell a one of them unless you know that they are going to a good home, and I am sure there are thousands of other collectors on this site that...

I really like the K frame snubs, I have an M66 and M19 both in 2.5" configurations. The high front to sight radius on the rear sight on that short barrel just looks menacing to a would be offender. I also think the 3" M65 offers a great concealed carry package without the worry of the sights...

My wife carries a Springfield XDm 3.8 in .40 SW. That is when she carries.

For those looking to get good into collecting Smith and Wesson revolvers, try your local law enforcement auctions, for used and lightly fired revolvers. Most will likely show holster wear, and the grips may need retouching due to repeated holstering and general handling abuse. I have found some...

We were on I 20 Sunday about twomiles outside of Vicksburg MS and there was a coyote on the side of the Interstate waiting to cross like he was at a traffic crosswalk. These things are dangerous and not afraid of people.

Anyone in the lower 48 who thinks that coyotes are not in their area might want to rethink that scenario. They are there, you just haven't seen one yet. I have seen them in Conneticut, Virginia, and of course inCalifornia. They used to come up to the front door of the Photo Lab at Vandenberg Air...

vertical water bottle carrier with ID/CCW pouch zippered half closed. No problems this morning. Just waiting for one to steal the neighbor's barking 3 week old puppies next to the woodline.
