I personally prefer the Bisley grip frame with my heavy caliber revolvers. I’ve never really had any issues with .44 Magnum or heavy .45 Colt loads. My SRH in .454 Casull is a handful, but recoil is still manageable.

Not when you push them to 1610 FPS!! 😉

I still might- I got sidetracked yesterday when my 15-year-old dachshund rescue got out and decided to go walkabout … he made it back home okay though.

Yep. I don’t really care about it being a commemorative, especially Canadian since I’m a native Floridian. 🤣 I’m going to try to get over to that shop this afternoon…

Hoo-ah! MI Branch ‘86-2000. Five tours in Korea, 7th ID, 4TH ID, 101ST, etc.

Sarasota had some streets flood for a little while. One county north, in Manatee County we got enough to get the grass (and weeds) growing again. I’m getting ready to hop on my mower to take care of my acre and a quarter, then I’ll be on my knees weeding the landscaping. Maybe this afternoon...

My go-to deer rifle has been a 788 in .308 for damn near 40 years. This coming season I plan to try my SRH in .454 Casull, at least in a couple of stands where the max range is 65-75 yards.

Morning all. When I was at a LGS a couple of weeks ago I picked up a shooter-grade Ruger .44 carbine, but they also had a Winchester 1894 Canadian Cenennial rifle with a 20” octagonal barrel, from 1967 that caught my eye. It is in unfired, perfect condition but doesn’t have the box or any of the...

Now THAT’S a good buy!

My first handgun was a Bearcat my father gave me when I was eight. I still have it, along with two more I picked up for my two older grandsons, the eldest of which turns eight in a few weeks. Oh, and I have another dozen+ Ruger single actions too. @Randyzzz I never really had a “tactical” phase...

With Single-Sevens being in short supply, and the .327 SP-101s running $600 plus I’ve been thinking about a Taurus .327 for a kit/tackle box gun, just because they can be had for ~$325. Any opinions??

I actually saw one in the rack at the LGS, right next to the Canadian Centennial 1894 and the carbine I DID buy; a 1970 Ruger .44 Magnum Carbine. I didn’t give it a second look because I already have a 9mm carbine, a High Point I picked up dirt cheap several years ago. I’m still thinking about...

This was a standing rule in our hunting club; If you have a beautiful 10 point buck in your sights but can also see a coyote or bobcat, take the predator first! When I’m up there, at any time of the year I carry a .45C Blackhawk loaded with alternating snake shot and heavy hog killer rounds...

I did a little surfing this morning and was pleasantly surprised ; Numrich has quite a few parts in stock for it.
