About two years ago, I wrote to Buffalo Bore and asked Tim if he would consider making a true outdoors load for the 38 Special. Like many of you, I have more appropriate revolvers for dangerous game, but sometimes, I just like taking my M&P or my Combat Masterpiece along for the walk. I...

I didn't say 'don't take care of it', I said to use it accordingly. Honest wear will happen.

You'll have a hard time finding one better than the original Alessi rig now offered by Ritchie Holsters. Ankle - Product Details

Replace the entire gun? I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous and unrealistic. This thread reminds me of the ones where people ask about holsters that will never, ever scratch their gun. It's a tool. Use it accordingly.

They look great. I carry a model 37 off-duty and would interested in getting one in black or the dark brown tortoise shell would be pretty unique.

Back in 2003 I bought a model 29 Mountain gun, and it's barrel was canted to the left. It was bad enough that to sight in at 50 yards, I had to adjust the rear sight all the way to the right. When I called Smith & Wesson and told them, the customer service rep told me handguns weren't designed...

I've got two. On a defensive revolver, it's going to be fired double action only, so the SA option is mot really necessary. Plus it is one less thing to snag.

I've never heard of gunpowder evolving into nitro. How does this happen?

That is a great looking holster. Who made it for you?

About 11 years ago, we bought our home, and the the next house to be built on our block was bought by an older gentleman and his wife. We quickly became friends, and whenever they would winter in Texas, we would watch their house, and shovel the snow from their walks. A month ago, he asked me...
