    Lack of interest in 40 SW yet 10MM is getting popular??

    The 40 is not that weak. I’ll stick with the 40. I don’t need and have never felt the need for a 10mm. But have a couple friends who swear by them.

    Hammer Bobbing...opinions, please.

    I have done that before. It has been a while. Probably 50 years. Choices were not what they are today. I was always careful to leave enough weight to fire. But got rid of the hammer so it would not hang on a pocket of pants or coat. I did it a couple of times. Wasn’t that big of a deal...

    Thought I had a model 14 but ....

    Wow, memories. I've had three model 14's. One from a pd, I think Kansas City with a letter, one just regular model 14. And then One that was single action only. And yes I wish I still had them.

    Semi Wadcutter Lead Bullets .41 Magnum

    I cast my own lead bullets. Powder coating has been a great discovery on my part. Eliminates leading.

    A very interesting piece

    The barrel measures three inches right on the money. DW that is a fine looking piece. Mike Priwer, that is great information. I will try and find a pair of round butt grips. I have to admit that a nice pair of vintage stag grips would look nice too. And thank you for the information also. I...

    A very interesting piece

    It does not appear to have been refinished. There may be some loss due to the fixing of the sight to the barrel. The crown of the barrel is very nicely done. I am not sure if it is a victory model or about the grips. There is no V in the serial n number. This was given to a lady when her...

    A very interesting piece

    This one is very interesting. I will probably have to send Mr. Jinks a request about this one. It has square butt grips on it as you can see but it is a round butt. 38 special. The barrel has also been shortened. It was done very well and the front sight has been done almost perfect. The...
