    Colt Mark IV Series 80 Government .380 issues

    OK. I'll mention the elephant in the room. What was wrong with the Sig and the Ruger? I hope you're not telling us that you traded two perfectly good pistols for one that is unreliable.

    “Manurhin” Walther P1: Cold War Relic

    I have one just like it. I love shooting it and it does attract attention at the range. The West Berlin story is interesting. I have heard that that an unscrupulous importer, at one time, stamped swastikas on some of these to try and sell them as war relics, so watch out. Nobody bothered to...

    1911 - Tired, Old, Unreliable Pistol Past It's Prime?

    I keep thinking that I should sell my Colt MK IV Series 80 Government Model. Then I take it to the range.

    It's 2021: Let's park those EDC revolvers and get serious

    Most armed confrontations end after 2 or 3 shots fired. Many end with no shots fired. There is no handgun in my collection that I shoot better than my S&W Model 13. That settles it. "Spray and pray." - Jeff Cooper

    40S&W Ammo To Become Obsolete

    I would think that the sheer number of guns in circulation would keep this caliber alive for at least two more decades.

    Will I have trouble going to a Model 29 from my Model 19?

    Then you should now know that Detective Callahan carries a "light special" in his behemoth. Pay attention!

    Speed Loader

    When I see "speed loader" I think "revolver". Guess I'm old.

    Pistol Petpeeves: Adapt or Abandon?

    It took me 65 years to figure out that a J frame with a boot grip was the perfect carry gun for me. My ego would have me walking around with a 629. A snubbie, of course.

    New to me Browning HP, need help from the HP experts

    Add to your list of features... "- Single action" I don't see that this has been mentioned in this thread.

    Road trip to New York and California

    I live in Arizona, and when I have occasion to go to California I just don't carry. I fail to see how a locked, unloaded, inaccessible firearm makes me safer. Yes, you can take a gun to California if you carry it under those conditions, but any misstep is at least a Class 1 Misdemeanor which...

    Is the revolver now a 'hobby gun'?

    As a fellow revolver lover, I can tell you that the generation gap has served me well. As an example, a couple of years ago I traded away an average Glock 21 for a 5" 95% S&W Model 10-5 manufactured in 1967. There is no shortage of folks younger than me who are willing to trade away "Daddy's old...

    Was looking for a 4013, but found instead...

    The original 4013 has an 8 + 1 capacity. I think they found a way to get one more in the TSW version.

    Can someone explain pistol braces

    The intent (?) is to give you extra support when shooting the weapon as a pistol (?). The result is a wannabe SBR. High scores for "cool factor", but otherwise totally impractical. It will go the way of the bump stock with little fanfare.

    What Say You Revolver People?

    An 8 shot N Frame .357 is an awesome idea. Add a barrel and you're good to go.

    A Message From Federal, CCI, Speer And Remington On Ammo

    If I were him, I would have also mentioned the irrational mass-hysteria that people go through every time something out of the ordinary, or something we don't like happens. If you think you need ammo just in case, then stock up before "just in case" happens. I hope those 7 million new gun owners...

    Is a .50-caliber handgun really useful???

    You just never know when a rampaging rhinoceros is going to escape from the zoo.

    .45 Colt High Performance Loads

    Please cite your source of this information. Who said it? I've never considered that any handgun could do this.

    Detonics Combat Master

    I had one of these back in the '90s. VERY well made and and reliable. However, I could never understand why a compact pistol such as this was designed with a sight radius an inch shorter than it could have been. Brainless!
