Grandma over here was a big bore gal with a .38 S&W. Shared it before, but her nightstand gun:

Well, yes, but Colt did tank in it's first incarnation at Paterson and ended up liquidated in 1840 something. Then the Texas Rangers found a hankering for an improved Colt Paterson revolver and...

.38-44 Heavy Duty and, after a six-month visit to Gemini Customs, a 640-1:

Pic of the Gemini with a couple NOT shot today, but might be an interesting comparison:

As much as I love metal maybe time to zig:

The lesser version even has has fight in the name...

A song about 1911's: "3, 2, 1, let's jam"...

Sidebar, but how do you like the 332? I've run across one recently at a reasonable-ish price. Dithering on it, and the new .32 UC's for that matter. Just not sure about adding another caliber to...

They started as their own company (I think) making single action .22 revolvers. My sister had one of those in the '90's. Kind of the Jennings of SA revolvers back then: dirt cheap, well under a...

They're from France.

Good lord, another one?!? Still, with all the shitmods, there's got to be a pony here somewhere...

:-P

(Congrats!)

Maybe these guys?

Was looking at holsters for an oddball revolver I was eyeballing on GunBroker and they list reflex...

Give or take a safety recall for possible unintentional discharge when decocking...

Safer, yet... Buffalo Bills #32...

Too new to tell, really. Seems like you're going off half-cocked...

It's only more shifts if you use all the gears 😀

Our '06 GTO was effectively a 4 speed with the gear spacing...

Well, there's sort of an origami fold you do getting in and out but otherwise the Midgets are roomier inside than you'd think. At least until you add a roll bar...

Well, yeah, but you're looking for objective reasoning. At a certain point it's about ideological archetypes and virtue signaling. Big tobacco = evil corporations spreading death for profit;...

Except when they don't. I think the engineering change from right hand threads to left hand was late 50's or early 60's but early dash models or pre-model # will go the opposite way.

Yep.

Different experiences. I've had HKS, carried loose in pocket, release on their own at least a couple times. I've also managed to bump the release knob in pocket at least a couple times, and...

FWIW: the aluminum cylinder 12's have a reputation for being problematic even with very low powered ammunition. If you want to shoot it, might be worth investing in a steel cylinder.

We all have our own experiences but, for me, HKS is the inferior choice in every way except availability in certain formats like the .32. They are slower, fiddlier, and prone to accidental release...

Where there's a will, there's a way! When I was stationed at Orlando, some of the base buildings had basement levels... and continuously running pumps to keep them from flooding. One of the jobs of...

If it was an S&W my first guess would be the extractor rod backing out but Rugers shouldn't have that issue due to design differences. Not a Ruger guy but I believe the cylinder release screw on...

Well if that isn't definitive I don't know what is. As Fredrick of Prussia once observed:

Well, thank goodness someone found the REAL thread... 😜
