    Pre Model 15, 5" Barrel

    At the gun show today talking to a friend about an upcoming auction. The gun is as described to me a five screw pre model 15 with a five inch barrel. His information is that there were 250 made for the Missouri Highway Patrol. Apparently the auction house has confirmed that it is correct but...

    A PLEA FOR CIVILITY

    It's easy to see how the term Long Colt came to be. I can imagine when the shorter 45 for the schofield came out that was the easy way to describe them. As to clip and magazine I stopped explaining the difference a long time ago. Call it want you want. How about "Hand" and "Pawl" if you make the...

    38/44 Heavy Duty convert to .41 mag?

    I would go with the 41 mag or 44 special. I like a little more meat in the cylinder walls. Depending on the contour of the barrel depends what it can be re-rifled to. The cylinder part is easy. Find someone good to do the barrel work first. Nice project.

    Ask to share your ammo

    Victory Model Prices?

    I haven't paid any attention to prices for these in many years. A friend was trying to buy one I have laying around so we started checking online prices. They seem insanely high to me. Many in the $1,500.00 to as high as $2,500.00???? I remember them being sub 200 and hard to sell. What gives...

    Help ID my great-grandfather S&W revolver

    Yikes, beautiful gun. Get the letter, just because. You may find a set of grips but will be difficult to find them in the condition of the gun. Even if you do find them keep the stags, they are beautiful.

    What is the origin of the misconception that .40 S&W is a high pressure cartridge?

    This is just memories from 30+ years ago. As i recall there was discussion about the pressure curve being very quick in the 40 S&W and the semi auto were unlocking before the pressure had reduced sufficiently. I know that Colt had a very hard time making them work correctly.

    Need to Remove Plating

    You can bring it to a plater and they will do it cheap or you can buy plating stripper from Brownells which works good but then you have to dispose of the stripper and pouring it into the ground is not a good idea.
