I have a blue Speed Six I bought new in 1974 that I have put at least 10,000 rounds through it and it still locks up tight. I paid $65 and the SS model was going for $75.

I have a .22 mag M&P that I have run 3,000 rounds through it with maybe 10 failures to feed, mostly mags that the first round slipped down and jammed the mag. I've had about 5 failures to fires using CCI or Winchester ammo. Much better reliability than .22LR. It has been a very reliable...

I just sent a 929 back to Smith for repair because when I fired 24 rapid fire rounds the cylinder gap went away and jammed the cylinder. I'll see how well Smith repairs it under warrantee.

I have put thousands of rounds through gen 1 full size, compacts, & COREs and see no pressing need to go to the 2.0. I like the beavertail and the auto slide feature on the 1.0 (especially for competitions) and the triggers smooth out over time so I do not use any Apex mods. I have full size...

I was able to get a 386 Sc on Gunbroker for $600, There was a PD but it was $200 more.

I recently bought a small safe for handguns and papers that is about 90 years old. It is less than four foot square and was told they moved it with a small tractor. I brought a bigger tractor and when I started to pick it up the wife said they had to have three guys on the back end of their...
