Colt. Missing a few screws. Serial number should be stamped on the frame under where the cylinder crane swings out.

You have my sincere condolences. Ask them if they are there to arrest the hobbits as security risks. Offer them deep fried crocodile for dinner. Offer to buy them vulgar underwear to send to Mr. Hoover. Make them feel at home.

IDPA just banned the SIG P-320 from IDPA sanctioned competition. FYI.

I just got an email from a group I shoot with. The IDPA has just banned SIG P-320 pistols from competitions sanctioned by IDPA. This is NOT intended to be a further dump on SIG. It is just an FYI.

I use a couple of things. I have some very nice plastic boxes made by MTM that will hold two "normal" size handguns. I also use "gun socks" either with string tags or the ones that actually have a space on them to write. I keep a hard copy inventory in the safe, an electronic one in the...

Probably not, but......If I had that puppy I would sure as the devil letter it. It's kind of like buying a lottery ticket. You will probably not win, but if you do, you may win big. And you have a primo shooter in any case. CONGRATS. Good luck. (Kind of like the lady who went to the Harley...

Seriously way cool. Congrats.

As noted above, a lot of the people who MADE the movies don't know squat about firearms and yes, it is likely the dialog was written for a revolver and nobody told anybody it was technically in error. Kind of like hanging a suppressor on the end of a revolver.

I am reasonably sure you called that one right. That also looks like a 1911 to me and, as far as I recall, no S&W fits the bill, at least from that time frame.

Yup. A BSR (British Service Revolver) that has been "enhanced" post war. Close-ups of proof marks may give a bit of whatever travels the gun may have taken along the line. Often called a Victory model. A lot of them went to the Brits and Australia during the war.

Springfield EMP 3" in an OWB pancake behind my strong-side hip with two spare magazines. That is my standard gear. I am comfortable with it and have confidence in it.

I am really old so I guess my opinion is irrelevant.

AB1127 is progressing in the California legislature. The bill does not specifically mention Glock but does list certain design characteristics that are pretty much unique to Glock. The bill would, if passed into law, ban the sale of new Glock pistols in the state, except to government...

I found that if you shortened other rounds very slightly they would normally work just fine. Since I reload for .32 auto that is not a big deal for me. I understand that European .32 auto ammo is routinely loaded a bit hotter than the American stuff so I wouldn't recommend that. Of course I...

Kojak (Telly Savalas) shot out more than one tire on a moving car at 40-50 yards with a 2" .38.
