    Larger Caliber CCW

    I have read and listened to which caliber rifle or pistol is the solution for well over 60 years. Its a discussion with no right answer. Shot placement is paramount wether hunting or defending yourself and others. Even with perfect placement you can still be killed by a walking deadman as in the...

    Six Inch Security Six…

    I bought a service six a number of years back. It looked virtually new in the box. The internals were gummed up and its operability was questionable. The individual who inherited it, wanted nothing to do with it, so I bought it for value of parts at the time. Well to my pleasant surprise after...

    625 on 625

    I love 625 45 acp. I have 625-2 5" model of 1988, 2 625-3" model of 1989. and a 625-8 Classic Performance center 4". I lust after 625 Mountain guns in 45 lc. and 45 acp. prelock. I screwed up a couple of years ago. I was offered a pair at good prices but choose to pass when they had no boxes or...

    The unavoidable gun fight. Are you confident with your handgun choice?

    None of us know how we will react in a situation armed or not. I follow Jeff Coopers teachings and try to be aware of my surroundings and prepared to act. Will I, I have no idea, hope to never have to find out. To that end I train weekly with revolvers of various calibers and sizes, all S&W...

    Looking at a 1989 Hi Power

    Between 1977 and 1991 I bought 4 9mm Hi-powers a fixed sight, a practical and 2 with adjustable sights, I loved the feel and how they handled, that is until I fired them and everyone caused hammer bite, Then I bought a Mark III 40 because I had to try one. Well to my pleasant surprise it...

    Decision on What SW 44 Magnum to Buy

    629 Mountain Gun 4". Prefer it to my 629 5" classic just don't like that Pythonish bottom lug. Second choice would be 5" barrel of model 27 configuration but alas those are only a dream.

    Flea Market 29-2

    My first 29-2 was a 6 1/2" Nickel 3T's RR WO. I really miss it as it just felt perfect. Decided I needed 4" packin gun for hunting. So swapped it for Magn-Ported blued 4" 29-2. One of my bigger mistakes. That Nickel finished front sight with the red ramp was like a lazer. It was a great gun...

    M24-3 Questions

    I have owned every barrel length of 24-3. The 4" were square but. So this is either barrel replacement on 3" or round butting of 4". Interesting but I agree with SGT ROCK 11B it would have to be a great deal. Shame really as only 2500 original 4" were made. I still have mine NIB, as i shoot my...

    Every Gun Handed Down To me Is Junk!

    I have been fortunate I inherited the m71 348 WINCHESTER. My dad ordered from Griffen and Howe the year i was born.

    If you could only pick 2 ultimate classics

    1970'S Was primarily M-17 and 27-2 both with 6" and 3T's. 1980's It was m-18 and m- 24 in 4" with TS and standard hammer and trigger. Those were not the only ones I owned, but they were what was used most in that period. I hated to leave out my 25-2 in 70's as it was great bullseye pistol. In...

    Finally...a .44 Special for me

    You are absolutly correct. For me it started back when they brought back the Colt SAA 44S in 1979. Then smith brought out the 24-3. Well I had to have 6.5" to go with my 29. Then the 4" and along came Lew Horton 3" had to have a pair. Then the 624 and of course i had to have all barrel...
