    .32 WC's ?

    I've been meaning to get out and try my .32 revolvers with some wadcutters for a while now. So far I've only fired FMJ, JHP and LRN out of them. I've been told you get good accuracy with the wadcutter bullet type. Reloading isn't an option right now so it's factory ammo. I've picked up three...

    New Thirty Two

    Came across this Model 30-1 with 4" tube on consignment at the LGS. Picked it up today and it's everything I thought it was. Serial number puts it around 1969. It's my first Model 30, been looking for one for years it seems. Probably paid too much for it but I don't care.

    3" N Frame Holster?

    I'm looking for an OWB holster for a 624 N Frame with 3" barrel. I've got a nice IWB for CC but need something so I can carry this gun as my sidearm while hunting. The only 3" OWB holsters I've found so far kind of suck. Look like poor quality. Ideally it would be leather, brown, cover the...

    2012 Hunting

    Looks like I'm done for the year as far as hunting is concerned. I managed to get out a total of twice this year. That actually is a lot for me, haha. Most years it's only once, if I'm lucky. Trip #1 was the annual deer hunt 2500 miles away in Ohio. It's a week of family, friends, a...

    Single Shot Rifles

    I've got the itch to get a single shot rifle. The only two I know about are the Ruger No. 1's and the Thompson Center rifles. Neither of those really do it for me. Are there others out there?

    Hit this gun poll...

    The Marin Independant Journal has a poll on their front page, online. "Does the U.S. need stronger gun control?" with a Yes/No option. The No's are behind. Let's change that. The poll is about half way down the main page on the left side. Home - Marin Independent Journal

    Is it safe?

    You guys think it's safe to shoot Cor-Bon Hunter 280 grain bonded core soft point (1400fps/1219ft lbs) and 260 grain bonded core hollow point (1450fps/1215ft lbs) out of my Model 29? It's a 1985 vintage 29-3 with 8 3/8" barrel. I'm not talking about hundreds of rounds but more like a handful...

    Help, broken shotgun - story and pics inside

    I've had this Mossberg 930 semi-auto 12g for a few months now. I've had it out shooting clays once and it performed flawlessly. I then bought a rifled barrel directly from Mossberg so I could use the gun for deer hunting. This weekend I went to the range to sight in the gun with the rifled...

    29-3 Price Check

    Looking for an appropriate price range for a Model 29-3 (1984 I think) with 8 3/8" barrel. Not pinned or recessed but does have the firing pin in the hammer. Condition is very good and it comes with box, paperwork, tool kit, original grips and hogue rubber grips. Any help in pricing this is...

    Handgun for Whitetail... *** Update in post 65 ***

    I'm seriously considering going deer hunting this year with a handgun. I live in CA and hunt on family property in OH. OH DNR regs say you can use a handgun during youth & regular gun season as long as it has a minimum barrel length of 5", shoots only straight walled cartridges and is...

    Attention Lefties, For Sale...Left Handed IWB

    I have for sale a brand new Crossbreed QwikClip IWB. This holster is made for left handed shooters. It fits on the left side of the body between you and your pants. These holsters are hard to find to say the least. The backing of the holster is cow hide and has the "combat cut" that makes...

    K22 Issues

    I had my 1948 K22 out at the range on Thursday. Noticed something a bit off on it for the first time. About half the time it operates perfectly, smooth as butter. The other half of the time the trigger binds up about half way through the double action trigger pull. It gets pretty darn hard...

    Took my beauties out for a spin today

    Hit the range after work today. Brought all three of the Masterpiece's, a 3" 65 and a 3" 624. Put several hundred through the 65 and 624...God I love those two guns. Put about a hundred each through the K22, K32 and K38. That's always a pleasure. Especially the K32...I don't take it out too...

    Model 41, old vs. new

    I've been thinking about picking up a Model 41 for a while now. Are you guys aware of any quality or performance differences between the 41's of yester-year and those currently made today? Finding old 41 in my area is proving to be a seriously difficult task so I'm thinking about dropping...

    Model 325 Thunder Ranch Frame?

    With the way the backstrap curves back into the grips in this photo it looks like the gun is a round butt with square butt conversion grips on it. Can anyone confirm what the frame is (not the grips)....round butt or square? Better yet, anyone have a photo of theirs with the grips off?

    Sideplate is killing me - UPDATE in Post #24

    So I'm trying to take the side plate off my 624 to install a bobbed hammer. I've never taken a side plate off before. DAMN, I can't do it! The screws simply will not budge. I even went as far as attaching a pair of vice grips to the screw driver to get extra leverage. Nothing, not a single...

    Pics of the newest family member - new grips, new pics

    3" 624 stuffed with 200 grain Cor-Bon DPX and a Lobo Gunleather IWB Edit: I just put these new grips on it and like them a whole heck of a lot. My only complaint of the gun as it came from the factory was the smooth grips. As your hand got a bit sweaty it did get very slippery...

    624 Hammer

    I'd like to install a bobbed hammer on my 3" LH 624 but with it being a somewhat rare and sought after gun I don't want to grind down the original hammer. Anyone know where I can buy an N Frame .400" replacement hammer? I'd grind that one down and drop it in, saving the original hammer...

    New gun in the collection, a first for me (pics inside)

    I went down to my local shop today to start the paperwork on the newest addition to the collection. I'm really excited about this one. It's a Lew Horton 3" Model 624 in .44 Special. This is my first N frame and I was a bit worried about the size at first. My hands aren't real small but...
