Yeah it's a 400 or more dollar rifle here too in western Washington. I'd probably give $400 for one as a project gun...

I also dislike the mag induced balance point issues, but other than that I think ruger really listened to the customer base about the issues with the first generation. Lots of folks, me included, really wanted a bolt locking safety and a stiffer stock. Check and check. We also wanted a taller...

Why you ask? Well, a beautiful lever action in the cheapest centerfire cartridge known to man? Why do people buy 22 leverguns? I would have built it on the 92 action, but it's beautiful and functional, and has all the features that young gun guys want added to classic designs without looking...

So it may go against the grain to say so, but no, you don't need a 44 special. Just buy another 45 colt and forget about it. And then go get yet another 45 colt as a self present for saving the 44 special for us that DO need one. But after a few weeks you'll probably have to have one anyway...

I don’t like any trigger over 4lb no matter what type of weapon, but for most guns you can go too light in my opinion. On a huntrifle I want about 2 to 2.5 lbs if I can have it reasonably affordable, but I really like the 9oz break on my cz set trigger. I had a savage 22 with a 4 Oz break that...

I would not worry about your first loading of once fired brass, just anneal it after that loading. If it's factory ammo once fired it was annealed before loading, so no worries. If it was swept up off the range and advertised as once fired, well, you'll never know if it's truly once fired. Not...

I swapped on the folding grip too, it worked great. But the black widow grip is the cats meow...

Ironically my first concealed carry piece was the black widow model, with the larger grip. Still a tiny firearm. Very cool though..

It's a work of art that shoots. And it's cute! They are mechanical marvels. A little small for much use though. Try the black widow grip if you want to actually shoot it, it's quick to change it for a range day...

Thanks for such a concise and organized explanation, this should be a sticky! Great write up!

38 special pretty much sums up the best beginner method above. Any specialized questions should probably be one at a time. I do recommend getting some known quantity lead from somewhere, either your mentor or rotometals, the Lee pot he recommends, and one mould to start with, then play with it...

My exact thought when I saw that firearm. "A man's got to know his limitations..." Some handguns aren't handguns anymore.

I love the break top h&r revolvers, that is literally only the 2nd 4" one I've seen. I almost bought the other one, but it was about 100 more than I wanted to spend. While I was thinking some older gentleman at the gun show snapped it up. HE knew what he was looking at, I did not or I wouldn't...

Make that an 8 shot 44 mag and I'd bite. But as a joke I'd put a small set of wagon wheels under the barrel and call it a mobile artillery piece. The 44 mag or special is far from dead, and that makes me happy since it's my favorite. My first revolver was a 44 mag and I won't be without one...

My biggest rifle caliber wise is my 45-70 handi rifle, which can handle a LOT more than trapdoor loads if the shooter behind it is up for it. Honorable mention to my 35 Whelen I built for bear and elk hunting. Largest handgun is my 458 socom 8" upper. And since I also have an sbr lower, it can...

You'll need to if you want to shoot it consistently. Luckily most of your big boomers benefit from using the same powder and primers, so cases and projectiles will be the biggest hunt. I admit, I envy the collection you've got going, it's been a while since I've been able to buy something...

Had a really bad couple of weeks at a security job in college that I carried my 6" mod 29 in a shoulder holster. Got shot at and didn't want to advertise I was packing, so I wore it under my jacket. Luckily it was at night, so the jacket wasn't out of place, but that was the only way to hide it...

You will like it for sure, until you buy ammo. It ain't affordable or very available. But it puts big holes in stuff. And makes even bigger grins.

I've had two, both 44 and neither were compatible with the new barrels both ran me roughlya thousand, and both were trades, years apart. I'd love a 429de barrel, but my one and only 50ae was a automag that blew up on me. I'd love a desert eagle to swap between the 50 and 429de, but they are...

I didn't think I would like that, but with the long barrel it's beautiful!
