When they first started showing up, I found one at Scheels I sort of liked, though it was the first run of the 2" models before we heard about the 3". It was maybe a bit smoother than the Taurus 85...

The light weight of the Kimber makes it an everyday carry for me. Many don't mind the extra weight of the other choices but I'd much prefer the lighter weight on the belt of the Kimber. As others...
Did they file the front sights lower for lighter bullets?
I have been carrying this old 3" .44 Special Bulldog for a year or so. It's very comfortable in the Mernickle holster. I carry 200 grain Underwood wadcutters and Silvertips for a reload in strips....
I have an old H&R 6" .22 from my father in law. He enjoyed it and was very accurate with it. I've shot it a time or two but it mostly sits in a corner of the safe somewhere. Why get rid of it? ...
I don't know if anything draws easily from a tight jean pocket. Some jeans have larger pockets like the Carhartts. Anymore before I buy a pair, I check the pockets for roominess and depth since i...
I bought this older 3" Bulldog .44 special off Gunbroker. After 3 trips to CA and a new barrel (to straighten poi), polishing and rebluing, and new grips, I carry it most every day with a speed...
That is such a useful modification; and done with such skill as to seem even artful today. It's really sad that this has been lost for the most part in this age we find ourselves in now.
Talk about a head slapper. Can't believe I never thought about a pellet gun, although back then they were not quite as popular as now. Dad had a pistol but it was co2 operated. I can't remember...
Shepherd was his name who had the Ruger sa in VN. Funny how a name from so long ago can come back to you.
Shooting rats? There were plenty to shoot since our compound was on a small tributary of the Mekong River. If we used full power loads, the report while on guard duty would raise questions, not to...
No, definitely not a Seal. I can remember the face and the man but not his job. He was a Spec 4 and probably with the Security attachment they added. It was a 6 1/2" iirr. There were some guys who...
Just to balance this tragedy out some, I had a new Taurus 85 back when they were on sale along with the rebates. It consistently shot left and cs left me wondering if they'd call it In Spec so I...
When I was buying most of my single actions to play with the big bores, either i couldn't find a model 29 or else I couldn't afford one. I did once own a Redhawk but really didn't care for it in 7...
We laugh at cutting some holes and turning it into a ported gun, but I wonder if that's not exactly what Rossi and Taurus did with these barrels that stick out from the lug area years ago....
I was getting ready to shoot the 3 handgun Masters back in 1987. A local gunsmith was helping me and he'd already chopped it. This was either before Ruger offered a 7" or about the same time. I...
I hate to ask this so late in the game, but what is "not a gun" actually referring to? Does he mean a gun for fun and not for daily defensive carry?
If that is the case, I whole heartedly would...
I never cared for those grips either. I think I have a bag of them down in the basement that was given to me from the Illinois State Police years ago. Back then I still owned a model 19.
But only if it is a pre-1964 Winchester 94 :cool:
That's why I like to order through Davidson's if I don't buy in person. With the issue you have and if you are still within their time frame, they will take it back for replacement or refund. I...
a dual turbo RX-7?
I bought a black 85 back when the rebate was on and PSA had them on sale. Cost me $200 total. Pawned it for $180 over a year later. The barrel was clocked and it shot left. CS gave me a big maybe...
I had a 7 1/2" Ruger .357 Max on lay a way when they first came out. About the time they started talking about bullets jumping out of their jackets and flame cutting top straps, my tool truck was...
I would suggest you don't even fool with +P rounds. I bought one for my wife in the 80's and it may have been one of my favorite handguns. Problem was that even with Bullseye springs in it, she...
That's what I need for my 3" Bulldog .44 Special. Just got back from the range and I can sure still feel it.
