I have not shot a Gov, but I have shot, using the loosest definition of the term, the Gov's equivalent, a Judge. MG all the way! The Judge wasn't unpleasant to shoot, but the MG is actually pleasant to shoot. A push instead of a punch for recoil. Another reason I chose the 45 MG is because I...

I've got a question regarding my S&W 432PD and I'm hoping that there is a simple explanation or fix before this goes to the gunsmith. I was dry firing (with snap caps) my 432 and I short stroked it. When I released the trigger to pull it again, I feel a bit of a stoppage before the trigger...

With the exception of the desirable and rarer Smiths, I generally see that the older, higher quality Smiths are less expensive than the newer, questionable Smiths. By what I've seen on forums and at gun shows, gun for gun the older Smiths are easier on the wallet. Used 36's are generally...

I've got a line on a S&W model 60 in .357. I emailed the guy and he said that it was a dash two. When did S&W change the 60 from a .38 to a .357? Thanks! (Yes, I did a search and couldn't find anything, so don't lynch me!)

+1 for Tallies!

As far as the endurance package is concerned, I believe that was just for the .44 Mags. The 45acp round doesn't generate nearly as much pressure and recoil as the 44, so I've never heard it advertised as having an the endurance package. That doesn't mean that S&W didn't put the endurance...

Colt Anaconda in 45 Colt and never look back!

I miss my flawless Beretta 92 S, it was like holding a gun made of glass.

I couldn't agree more. The BB is useful for determining that a gun exists. My experience with blue books is that they are a useful tool for the dealers (who in my opinion shouldn't be at gun shows anyway) to gouge you. It's amazing to see how fast they will forget about their almighty...

I just picked up a Taurus model 460. This is the 5 shot, 45 Colt in an K/L sized frame. Locks up tight and fits all of my K-frame holsters. I haven't been able to shoot it yet, but so far, I'm happy with it. I was really tentative about picking up a Taurus, given the QC issues, but this one...

The export models are desirable, but none are more desirable than the Brazilian exports. This is irrefutable proof that even in Brazil people know to buy a Smith over a Taurus!

I've been noticing that trend since Glocktober! Kinda reminds me of the guys who'll tell you the best 9 is a .40.

If only the "classics" line was like this. This is the attention to detail that I'd be happy to pay MSRP for.

I think this is all our fault. We are creating a collector's market by letting everyone who has one know what a great gun he's got. If we want to score deals on these, we need to start griping about them like they are Llama and Jennings guns. Once we get the word out, the uninitiated will...

Those look pretty good. I hope your buddy survives!
