I love mine. It stands guard at the back door, for bears and gorillas.

My local police supply place recently took in two large shipments of old duty guns and evidence guns from a PD and Sheriff's Office in Washington state. I got a nice S&W Model 28 from the first batch, and this Single Six from the second. Definitely an evidence gun. There was still a little...

I like it, too. I've never seen one either.

Thanks for the info!

If so, what is the product code? I got it a few years ago in a trade. The stainless finish was already matte finished, probably bead blasted. The grips were thinned down and a .45 ACP cylinder was installed. Ruger said it left the factory as a .45 Colt, not a convertible. The nice lady...

Very nice! I love the Pythonesque hammer!

I don't know the story on this one. I traded it away from a Sheriff's Office detective, and he got it second hand: It left the factory with one cylinder, somewhere along the way it was fitted with this ACP cylinder. Maybe that and the oh-so-slightly modified grips and frosted finish will...

I own a bunch of rifles, but this one is my go-to gun. Its nothing to look at, but as long as I can hunt it has a spot in the safe. I got it in a trade when I lived in Montana. A guy wanted a Mini-14 I had that I never warmed up to. He had this stainless .300 Win Mag with a cheapo scope...

Haha - forgot I even posted this! It shoots great, but I'm not much of a group measurer. This is from when I sighted it in, off the Chevy benchrest at 100 yards: Since then it has accounted for untold prairie dogs and only one coyote (the only one I shot at though). The magazine worked...

Well, its marked this, but .275 Rigby sounds much more exotic: I had no intention of buying such a thing. I was in one of my usual haunts when that tang safety caught my eye. The dealer said it had been there for quite a while. I laid it away on an impulse. I've learned through long and...

I couldn't pass this one up. It went dead pawn and wound up coming home with me the next day. Three-screw .41 Magnum, used just enough so I won't be tempted to not shoot it: I have a couple unconverted Single Sixes, and a slew of New Models and both sizes of Vaqueros, but this is my first...

I've been looking for a low priced .223 bolt action. This one was red-tagged at the local Sportsman's Warehouse, and with a 5% "custom appreciation" promotion going on it was about $340 brand spanking new. Next stop Wally World - this little 2-7 Nikon was marked down for not having a box...

I finally have some of Patrick Grashorn's fantastic stags to show off. That's a Vaquero .44 Mag, a Colt New Service .45 Colt, and a New Vaquero, also in .45 Colt. I can't praise his work highly enough. They fit perfectly, without my having sent him the grip frames. They feel great in...
