    I honestly didn’t realize it was still in their catalog, but a guy can have a slow, agonizing death waiting for W-W to load a run of Silvertip anything!

    I looked VERY HARD at doing this - I believe the rim diameter of 22WMR is enough greater than the LR to make it a no-go. Those 8 holes are really close together on the LR version. However, Ruger...

    Uh, there was exactly ONE 942 if I remember correctly. I'd definitely consider a 9mm converted airweight to be a weapon of last resort. Frame stretch might be measurable at the end of each box of...

    Raven P25's weakest link is the firing pin. They love to break under dry fire. Good news/bad news: tool steel replacements are available, but they cost more than the gun is worth (IMO, of course). I...

    Trust me, Charley Askins lost no sleep differentiating between Nazi party members and Wehrmacht draftees. He wasn't the most "politically sesnsitive" of folks.

    FAMS used to be limited off-duty to their P229 or a P230 in 380 by their regs. About 3 years ago their rules were changed to allow a number of "more appropriate" choices. I sold at least a couple...
