    New SP101 front sight loose

    My old 327 Ruger in stainless was a casualty of a failed marriage several years ago. It was the only 327 in the lot. For several years now, I kicked a lot of 327 tires but never found a model that stood out, or was reasonably priced. I came very close with the Taurus 3” but wanted a nice blue...

    Anyone have a Taurus TX22?

    I’ve been having a lot of fun at the range with 22 revolvers. Recently, without even looking, the Sig P322 showed up in an ad and I was intrigued. Twenty rounds of 22LR sounds like a fun range gun. When searching for the Sig, a handful of Taurus TX22 videos appeared, comparing both models...

    63-5 Just for Fun

    Been having a lot of fun with 22s lately. At the height of the pandemic, I was searching for a replacement model 63. Prices for a pre-lock were crazy, and not much better now. I found this one online and grabbed it. That was three years ago. I pulled it from the safe and took a trip to the...

    New Tisas 380 Range Report

    Knew I had to have this one. The Tisas Fatih 13 has been around for a long time as one of the companies first pistols. A double stack Beretta Cheetah clone on an aluminum frame, this years model is re-tooled to look more like an FS than the B or BB. At least that’s my armchair take on it...

    GCNM 38 Super

    Picked up a new 38 Super GCNM, 2024 production. Seems like a decent example. Even though it’s their standard bluing, I think Colt could have done better. A couple of very small water spots on the rear of the slide. For the price, it would be a nice gesture to include an extra mag again...

    Roscoes Range Report

    I had some fun at the range today. Finally had a chance to try out the Roscoes (2” and 3”). All shots were DA, 10 yards, standing. Come to think of it, I didn’t even try SA on either one. I'm happy with the results below, considering my modest abilities. Trigger was smooth (no grit), broke...

    Grips for Deputy

    I just picked up a new Taurus Deputy. Not much of an SAA guy but the deep blue/black polished finish caught my eye. Action is very smooth. I am looking for a pair of faux ivory or horn grips. Some people say grips for any of the Italian clones, or SAA will fit this. Anyone know?

    Tisas nickel Commander 9mm

    Just picked a matte nickel “blemish” Tank Commander. The finish looks perfect to me. Great price on these. Comes with a hard case, extra set of grips, bushing tool, brush and 2 mags. Love my Colts, but this is fit and finished better.

    Taurus Deputy

    The internet did it again. Another impulse purchase. Ordered the Taurus Deputy in 45LC. Their newest Exec Grade 605 looks nice too. Single Action

    Model 63 front sight replacement

    Any recommendations or 3rd parties that make replacement blade sights for a late model 63 (with the factory FO). Looking for a ramp or target blade. I can't get used to the look of the fiber optic types on a revolver. I see a lot of options out there but few mention models. Are all of the...

    King Cobra 22

    Couldn’t pass this up for 22 fun. The front blade is a Python donor. Grips from jaruwan.p in Thailand.

    Girsan P35

    Always wanted a Hi-Power but prices have gotten a little crazy. Couldn't pass this up as an inexpensive shooter, with an ambi safety to boot...

    Taurus Exec 856

    Just picked it up from the LGS. Hopefully, I can get to the range this weekend. Fit and finish is very impressive. The trigger is a little heavy, pull is very smooth, no stacking noticed. Reset is nice and crisp. Spent some time today dry-firing. Love the feel of these grips. I have big...

    Cerakote, Duracote, Durablue, cold bluing etc

    I have a few Rock Island 1911s with a nice, but flat parkerized finish. A handful of other brands that have some type of 'cote', mostly flat or just barely semi-gloss. ...not much sheen I know the spray-on finishes can't compete with true bluing, and that's okay. I am looking for an...

    Taurus Executive Grade Revolver

    It will be interesting to see how this new line is received and what models will follow the 856: Taurus Executive Grade

    Rock 38s

    Added 2 RIA 38 Supers to the safe that I couldn't resist. For the price, probably most impressed with the black parkerized model.

    Is a 15-22 the right choice?

    I am mostly into .22 revolvers, but would like get an AR style 22 for plinking. Sold my Colt 5.56 ‘restricted’ rollmark a few years ago and miss the platform, but could probably have more fun with a 22. I notice several S&W SKUs and prices mostly in the $450-$500 range on GB. Would...

    1911 tips for a lefty

    I have 'collected' a few Colt 1911s, but only shot them a handful of times over the years. It wasn't a pleasant experience since none of them had ambi safeties. This year, I want to get more trigger time behind a 1911. Just purchased a Rock Island 'GI' basic in 38 super. I figured it an...

    Ruger GP100 .22

    Last summer, I picked up a blued GP100 and started to get the Ruger wheelgun bug. Found this 10 shot .22 and knew it had a new home. Not only the tagline "built like a tank" applies, but I am also finding the overall quality, fit and finish of these revolvers is top-notch. The fun part is...
