A friend at work showed me pictures today of a very nice K-22 that his grandfather passed down to his Dad. Serial number is K236xxx, which I believe is mid-fifties. Finish is at least 95%, and he has the original dark charcoal box, which I believe was only used for a very short time. I told...

I'm looking at buying an M&P 45 with 4" barrel. It would be a range and home defense gun. I'm a big fan of both pistols and revolvers in four inch. I like the caliber and the 10+1 capacity. Any thoughts/comments on this particular pistol are appreciated. "Fast is fine, but accuracy is...

I live in Maryland, north of Baltimore. Does anyone know of a Range within, say, 3-4 hour drive where you can rent and shoot an M1 Garand? My Dad carried an M1 in WWII and have always wanted to shoot one but never had the opportunity. Charlie

A local gun shop has an old S&W hand ejector in .38 special. It is nickel plated and in very rough shape but mechanically tight. It has a 5 inch barrel, it's a 5-screw, and has round, half-moon front sight. On the butt is the letter C, then a good inch of space, then a six digit number...

A LGS has a very nice Model 27-2 for sale. It's blue with 8 and 3/8 barrel. Has a Patridge front sight, target hammer, target trigger, and original grips. I'm no expert but would rate finish at least 95%. Comes with a presentation case that I have not seen. It has been fired. Shop owner...

I'm picking up a Model 19-3 with 2.5 inch barrel this week. I plan on shooting frequently. What's a good .38 special target load for the range? What do you guys recommend for a .38 self-defense load and also a .357 defense load. The consensus seems to be to limit .357 ammo to about 20...

Spotted a nice blued 14-3 for sale at local gun shop/range today. I'm a member there, know the owner pretty well, and he let me shoot it. Nice smooth trigger. I'm no expert, but would say condition of the gun is very good. A little blue worn off at muzzle crown. Gun has target grips that...

Recently reacquired six-gun fever (again) and purchased a police trade-in M&P Model 10. Trying to educate myself on all different versions of M&P's. Saw a pre-model 10 today at local range/gun shop that's in excellent condition. A lady had just bought it. The serial number starts with a six...

Have bought and sold a Model 27, 28, 586, and 686; all were pre internal lock. Thinking about purchasing a new 4" 686 this year. Will be a range and home defense gun, shooting mainly .38 and .38 plus p. Any advice or concerns. Thanks. Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything. - Wyatt Earp
