I purchased new back in 1980 (?) an early 629 from a dealer and didn’t realize at the time that it was still pinned and recessed. I simply wanted a stainless 29. What was also a surprise, it came with the standard of the time, plain blue cardboard box with re-enforced corners AND the classic...

I completely understand. In 1968 I entered law enforcement straight out of college. I was 22 years old and shooting handguns since 16. An early big bore nut, acquired a model 29 and Ruger first series Blackhawk 44mag as well. Still have both and LOTS more. 44 Magnum is the greatest handgun...

I just picked up my Model 686 no dash from the gun shop after my 10 waiting period. Nice to know that the State of California deems me worth to own a gun. Should I cheer? While cleaning and inspecting my new purchase, I noticed some stampings inside the crane that I have never seen before...

A number of years back, John Taffin coined the phrase perfect packin' pistol, as a way to describe just that. He initially defined the gun as a DA or SA revolver, with a 4" to 5 !/2" barrel, in any caliber capable of doing all duties......self defense, survival hunting, comfort of carry. After...
