32 H&R......301 ft-lbs
For a long time it seemed like .32 caliber in general had become obsolete for use in handguns that weren't antiques, range toys, a training piece to get new shooters over the fear of recoil, or the most extreme sub-compact carry pieces. I was excited for Federal to breathe new life into it with... -
Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
The blue book said a poor condition one sells for $1600 and minus 50% value for refinish, I paid $800 for it so I'd consider it a fair price being the exact blue book value. Now its "book value" may differ as, being such a rare piece with no civilian version ever released, it could be worth... -
Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
That's not an 1878, despite what Wikipedia may think.;) It's a vastly different gun, if I'm not mistaken I don't even think the cylinder rotates the same direction haha! -
FFL Review
I have always had excellent service at A&D Pawn in Glen Burnie, no question the best place I've bought guns at. I've never done a transfer so I can't speak to that end, but I typically look for historic collectible type pieces and they have always been fair, honest, and fun to deal with. I say... -
Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
He's actually wrong anyways. The production numbers of the 1878 were over 50,000 and the gun pictured here (as someone pointed out above) was made in much smaller numbers. In the case with this gun was pretty much one of the best unintended ironic situations I've ever seen. There was an 1878... -
Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
It's a double-action breach-loaded (aka "cowboy style" with the loading gate like an old single-action) .45 Long Colt revolver. The pictures don't really show how substantial this bad b**** is in terms of total size; just so folks get an idea that's a 6" barrel, until the modern fascination... -
Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
It seems revolver collecting is dying out a bit lately, a lot of the older guys still like them but they seem largely forgotten by the younger generation that grew up with reliable polymer semi-automatics. The cowboy action crowd has certainly done a lot in terms of putting quality... -
Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
Thank you, the price tag was even prettier. I'll give the exact figure when I reveal the name of the gun, but I will mention that it was under $1000.:party29: -

Bought another old revolver (and I'm not going to tell you what it is)
Found this interesting piece hiding in a local gun shop over the weekend. Nothing like walking into a gun store during the "tactical gun buying craze of 2013" and staring longingly at a case full of early 20th century 6-shooters.:lol2: Initially I was eyeballing another gun in the case, I... -
Thank you ammo hoarders!
Ironically enough, I shot 7mm magnum for the first time ever today....:sad20: The .303 Enfield actually did more damage, although that was from the ground suddenly shifting below my foot as I pulled the trigger, of course causing the stock to slip off my shoulder just in time for the recoil... -
Greetings from Millersville
Welcome, if you're looking for a good local range might I suggest On Target right by Ft Meade. So far they have been the all around best shooting range I have been to whether it's the employees, the prices, the facilities, etc. I'll never forget my first time there asking to rent their S&W 617...- Enzo_Guy

Thank you ammo hoarders!
Yeah and sometimes I get 50% off on a pair of jeans. Until today, I was unaware that deals existed on .32 S&W. The .32 S&W is like a '64 Pontiac GTO: there are others similar to it but there's no replacement for the one-year style, and when you find someone selling it then price is no object... -

This!:party29: Maybe I'm just crazing and have been huffing too many fumes from Pontiac engines again (because I don't like old off-beat stuff at all:rolleyes:), but are we starting to see a small resurgence in .41 magnum guns? I remember a few years ago the "do-it-all magnum" was pretty much... -
Thank you ammo hoarders!
I'm getting those other 7 boxes (yes I said SEVEN BOXES LEFT AFTER THE THREE I BOUGHT) tomorrow I think, yeah they're .32 S&W shorts and not the "high-powered" long cartridges (because clearly that paper target could attack at any time so we need the +P+ super-magnum rounds if we hope to do any... -

My Ruger experience has been predominantly with their revolvers, and I have to say for the price it's hard to argue with their quality. I've heard horror stories of their semi-auto pistols and rifles, but a nice Single Six or Blackhawk can stand the test of time with any Colt or S&W I've shot... -
Thank you ammo hoarders!
It's been a while since I bought handgun ammo so once I got done picking my jaw up off the floor from the empty shelves today, I decided I should say a big thank you to the ammo hoarding geniuses. I say geniuses because they have obviously formulated a master plan that somehow made the ammo... -
Ammo in crofton
I heard today that The Armory in Annapolis has a few 50-count boxes of CCI .22 magnum, if you're willing to pay their price. I heard they were $20 per box, ammo shortage or not they can keep it. If that's true I refuse to give into such ridiculous price gouging.
