I recently bought a (supposedly) brand new 686 that looked suspect. I haven’t bought a new Smith for a long time. I can’t remember if they came in a plastic bag like the Colts, or not. Mine came in the blue box with one sheet of that brown paper. I didn’t see any other paperwork. The gun has...

If they made one, would you buy it? Take an Anaconda, shorten the cylinder a bit to save weight. Make a light weight barrel like the S&W Mountain guns. Mountain Guns are selling like hot cakes right now. Colt should cash in on the trend. I like my Anacondas. But they weigh a ton compared to...

I was at the gun shot loading up on CCI Mini Mag 22s. I was checking out, and the counter guy who knows how my taste runs, says “Did you set the 69?” Why, no I have not. Let’s have a look. Model 69. It’s used, with the box. Extremely nice condition, 98.5%. I gave it a thorough inspection...

If the price is right, I’d like 2. I want to give one to my son. Does $40 shipped/mailed sound fair? Pm me. Thanks, Rod

Gun Show Guys, The Indy 1500 is this coming weekend. They advertise Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It’s been a lot of years since I’ve gone. I’ve never gone to a gun show on a Friday afternoon. I’ve always been working. I’m looking to maybe sell a recently acquired 22 pistol. And I’m always on the...

I bought a cool little 20 ga Browning BPS Micro last summer. 6.7 pounds of grit is the trigger pull. It needs help. While I’m at it, I have a Binelli M2 Tactical that has a 7+ pound pull. As long as I’m going to send one trigger group off, I may as well send them both. So I’m looking for...

It’s a Colt! Weird, right? A 5 inch Python. Evidently, they’ve been out for a while. But it was news to me a couple of months ago. The vents are the same size as what are on the 4.25 inch, just closer together; plus one. It almost looks like a 6. But not quite. The fit and finish are...

Well it matters to me at least, I don’t know if you’re going to care, but read on. If nothing else, it’s slightly amusing. Here in Southern Indiana, we still like our little Revolver Caliber Carbines. That really makes no sense because we can now use modern bottleneck high powered rifles on...

It all started with me firing my nephew’s 75B. That thing is so accurate, I had to have one. Out of the box the triggers are awful. The sights, not the best. So off to Cajun Gun Works. I can’t say enough good things about Cajun. I had them do a bushing, probably not necessary, trigger job with...

Remember the 80s and 90s when handgun hunting was gaining traction? Guys like Bill Wilson and JD Jones were whacking big critters with revolvers and TC Contenders. A friend called me a couple of months ago knowing I’m always in the mood for a bargain, plus I have an affinity for Leupold...

I know this has had to have been covered numerous times in the past, but I’m late to the party. I used the search feature. Like usual, I had no luck. So apologize in advance for asking….. I ordered a 745 rear sight from Jack First. The question: From top to bottom, on the raised rib behind...

My friend, who isn’t really a gun guy inherited this nice old 71. He had brass. I found dies and projectiles. We have it up and running again. The Stock looks pretty tired. I haven’t even said anything to him about it yet. I’d say 60% of the varnish is gone. Would you rub it down with boiled...

I think I paid $140, plus shipping; and I had to wait 6 months. My gun was slid into this thing a grand total of once. It’s never had a belt thru it. Never worn. Never used. The holster is that real dark maroon in color. It may appear black in the photo. Perfect fit. I didn’t like the SA...

I recently bought a used Mini. These came with the rifle. These are a bit more firepower than I need in the woods. They are unmarked. I don’t know the manufacturer. Both have never been fired, so to speak. I Put one in the gun just to see how it looked. I doubt the other has ever been out of...

I love my Lever Guns; Marlins and Miroku/Winchester to be exact. But I’m cool with Henry’s and Rossis. As most astute Levergunners know, most of the old Marlins and Winchesters came from the factory drilled and tapped for a reciever sight like the Lyman 66LA, and the Williams aperture...

I think I’d give it a try. I don’t have any striker fired pistols. Nor do I have any plastic pistols. But a Metal .45 sounds kind of cool.
