I've always admired the look of the Uberti revolvers, but kept telling myself that I didn't care for single-action revolvers...Ignore the fact that I've probably owned a dozen or so over the years. Anyway, I saw this one...at the LGS a few weeks ago. At first I thought it was stuck in the...

I picked up one of these, the older 2.0 with the hinged trigger, and 7/8 round mags at a good price I thought a week or so ago. The laser had no batteries in it, so I added a set and was good to go. Got it to te range yesterday, and after a couple of rounds the laser would cut off. I assume...

I picked this up yesterday. It's a 9mm Shield I've never seen before. I'm sure others have, but I haven't. It's a 2.0, but still has the hinged trigger. It's a Perfoormance Center Model, but the barrel isn't ported. Magazines are 8 and 7 rounds. I'm sure it's never been fired (outside the...

I bought a used 2.0 Shield Performance Center, 9mm. The slide stop/release will not budge no matter what I do. Yea, Yea...I know...It's a slide stop, not a slide release. Still I like to use it as a slide release, like I do with my EZ's, my BG-2, and every other semi-auto handgun I've ever...

As Mark Twain said, "Were exagerated" but for a couple of days, it felt like it might be touch and go. I came down with a cold the first of the week which finally got so bad, I went to the ER Thrusday Morning. Normal "cold" stuff. Headache, sniffle, cough, sneezing, and a sore throat that...

Will grips for a J-frame fit an I frame?

I gave up being a "collector" some time ago, but I recenty purchased a really nice Model 18-2, that has what I assume to be the original two piece box. The only thing in the box is the yellow anti-rust paper that the gun came wrapped in. What else would have been in it? It's been a long...

I stopped at the LGS a week or so ago to get some primers. On the way out, I spotted a blue box in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" case. On top of that box, was a VERY nice, Modell 18-2, with target hammer, trigger, and diamond target stocks. The box in question numbered to the...

I had an interesting experience the other day. I pulled into a chicken and biscuit place to get biscuit and a cup of ice tea, when a fellow came running to flag me down. There was a car stopped in the parking lot with its trunk open and several people standing around. Oh oh...He needs a jump...

Got word last night that she's continuing to improve. They did another surgery on her hand to repair damage on the thumb. Unless there is some setback, I guess we'll be signing off on this. Oh. I'll be sure to let you know when she comes home. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes...

I finally got around to taking a picture of this one. It was going to be my "next to the last" gun until that H&R came along. A North American Arms "mini" 22 LR with the Rodeo winners belt buckle. I got it in case I'm ever attacked by a Grizzly Bear here in suburbs of Richmond. Hey, you...

Back when I was much, MUCH younger, I used to drool over the Shooter's Bible. I read that thing from cover to over. I wanted one of everything, and two of most. But the one I remember coming back to over and over and over again, was the break-top Harrington and Richardson, Model 999, with a...

Just got word that Melissa is awake! No real details yet but that’s enough for now. Keep those prayers coming. She’s got a long way to go yet.

I don't ask for these often, but we need them now. My wife's daughter, my step-daughter was shot by her next door neighbor day before yesterday now. With the help of her son she made it into the house where they called 911. The normal responders, responded, did a "grab and go" for her, and...

Back to the 1905 hand ejector I asked about a few days ago. I pulled the stocks off and noticed the initials RJ and SJ written in pencil on the back of the stocks. There is a space between them that makes me think they're two different initials, not one set of four letters. Any of you deep...

I'm seeing news reports that overnight (about 0130) a container ship leaving Baltimore Harbor, hit one of the plyons on the Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused the bridge to collapse. It looks like a pretty good portion of the bridge is down, and there are said to be cars and at least one...

About a month or so ago I bought a Taurus 327, in oddly enough 327 Federal Magnum. I'm up to about 500 rounds through it, mostly 32 Smith and Wesson long, but about 75 327 Federal Magnums. The little gun continues to chug along with no problems. With 32 Longs, either Fiocchi factory loads, or...

Can someone please tell me just what I've got here? It's listed as a "pre 10" at the shop but I'm pretty sure that's not the whole story. It's a K-frame, 5 screw, 38 Special, six shots, fixed sights, square butt, service stocks, bulb on the ejector rod, no address line on the frame, and...

Saw this at the LGS yesterday and thought it looked decent enough to throw on layaway. It's no safe queen that's for sure, but mechanically it checks out, and I think some Flitz and Ren Wax will go a long way toward making it look presentable. The diamond magna grips don't number to the...

Yes, it's true. You'd think I'd know better than to come here and admit it, but I bought another Taurus. I had a little I-frame, 32 Long that I bought just for giggles, but it turned out I kinda liked the little thing. It was too small for me to really shoot, so I thought about one of the new...
