    28-2 rescue. If you know what you are doing, a good deal can be had.

    I walked into my local pawn shop this afternoon for my weekly visit. Everyone there knows me and we had some good conversations. One employee knew I liked 10mm,so they pulled out a SA XD 10mm. I politely explained that XDs don't do anything for me, and as they were putting it back, I noticed a...

    Amazing Gun Show Find today.

    I found this 4" 629 ND for sale at the local gun show in OKC today. I didn't really need it, since I already have 2, but the price was a complete "no brainer." I won't reveal the price paid to prevent mass flash flooding in low lying areas, we'll just leave it as no person in their right mind...

    Ruger Security-Nine issue. Possible PSA

    Several years ago I purchased a then new to the market Ruger Security-Nine, mostly because the price was too good to pass up. I put that thing through the wringer and could not get it to fail. I was so impressed with it that I bought three more for my three daughters. I ran them through the...

    Any war time P35 HP knowledge out there?

    I picked up this WaA140 FN P35 "b" block from a friend over the weekend. Shows heavy use, but functions as it should, minus a mag safety, with a nice shiny bore. S/N dates to around June 1944. That's about the extent of my google-fu, I'm just wondering if anyone here can shed a little more...

    625 Mountain Gun find (Range report added post 10)

    I found this 625 Mountain Gun at a small town show last weekend. Came with it's original labeled box and I couldn't pass it up for the price. Stocks were upgraded from the usual Houges and I didn't complain. Price was $750. My question is; did these suffer from the oversized throats like the...

    Kimber KDS9C, anybody have one? I gotta know...

    I was in a LGS and they had these Kimber KDS9C pistols. I had never seen one before, but fell in love with it handling it. Does anyone here have any experience with it? I gotta know. How do you like it? I want one, but I'm done playing the Guinea pig.

    So I got to check out a new blued Python today...

    If you are familiar with the new production stainless Pythons, then about the only difference is the color. The little QR code laser etched on the right side forward of the trigger guard is harder to pick out. I was worried that it would show up worse, but they kept it black and it blends in...

    .455 Mk. ll Second Model find.

    I found this old Canadian contract gun at last weekend's local gun show. The stocks on it were a set of dry 1970s N frame targets with a stainless plate mounted on the butt. I removed them and replaced them with a set of Bigmountainman's Elk stags and they look great on it I believe. I have a...

    A new to me bull and heifer for the herd.

    I went to the local show in OKC today and found these two old timers. I struck a deal for the pair and brought them home. The top one, the Bull, is a .455 MKll Second model Canadian contract revolver converted to .45 Colt and wearing a set of bigmountainman's Elk stags. When I got it it had a...

    Early .32 HE Third Model value estimation.

    I wound up with this nice little .32 HE in a trade, and although it's a wonderful little thing, it's just not my cup of tea. (Altogether now, collective groan...) Using the SCSW I was able to determine what it is and approx. when it was made, I do have a couple of questions. It is mechanically...

    A new dilemma

    So, awhile back, I obtained a beautiful little 4" I-frame HFT. It is in wonderful condition with 2 exceptions. Someone put the wrong stocks on it, and the rear sight was broken and modified. It functioned very well in this configuration, but I wanted to put it back to the way it should be...

    I spent $1100 at Wannenmacher's and got...

    Here's a fun little game we can all play, just to let everyone know how good, or bad, we did at the show. Doesn't necessarily have to be Wannenmacher's, it can be any show, but let's keep it recent, say, the last month. And pictures, or it didn't happen! I'll start... I just spent $1100 at...

    Sometimes it pays... or, Even a blind squirrel...

    Sometimes it pays to go to the small shows. I went to a small show in Broken Arrow, Ok. I met a man who was carrying an 8 lb. jug of Universal Clays powder, still sealed. I asked him what he wanted for it and he said, "75 bucks." Before I could say I'll take it, he said "And I have another one...

    Pre war .22/32 mistake.

    I traded for this little I frame .22/32 at a local show this past weekend. It's a pretty little thing, so much so that I didn't even notice the broken rear sight. I did notice the front sight was modified, but just totally blew it with the rear. It has a notch cut (and a very good job they did...

    Rear sight for pre-war I frame 22/32.

    I need a rear sight for a pre-war model 22/32. I obtained a beautiful 90% condition (except for the sights) pre-war 4" 22/32 this last weekend. The rear sight is missing parts, and I believe the remaining part modified for use as a sight. The front sight was replaced with an aluminum or...

    Press lubrication

    So I'm just a little bit curious. What do you all use to keep your progressive (or single stage) reloading press lubricated and running smooth? I ask because I ran out of my regular lube and wanting to get started on my fall loading, I looked around for something to use short term. I found a can...

    I'm thinking of making my Collectable investment piece my new shooter. Am I crazy?

    So, I came across this beautifully preserved 1943 M1 Garand a while back. Has it's original barrel in Immaculate condition and everything else is pretty much the same. If the other parts are not original, they are at least very correct. As with everything I collect, I feel that shooting it a...
