Using profanity on this site is not necessary. I believe I am safe with the Savage. I have fired it 500 times with 60 gr Hornady HP's. No malfunctions. It is my decision. For one thing I think it is...

Some of you are not very gentlemanly. I will carry what I want. I will also carry the P225. That's the end of it for me.

The Savage was way ahead of it's time. It can be carried safely with the hammer down on a live round. The safety is more positive than the 1903 Colt. It actually holds the striker back away from the...

I know you have a point but the obsolete firearms are what I personally enjoy using. Some gun is better than no gun.

When I was shooting the Swiss 1911, the GP11 ammo was not available. I lucked up on 300 rounds of Norma brass. I found the 168 gr International Match bullets by Sierra were the most accurate. The...

I would not want to be on the receiving end of 50,000 150 gr .30 bullets.

I carry it with no round in the chamber. I have practiced operating the slide so many times, I could do it blindfolded.

A single action hammerless pistol is not the best thing to carry in a pocket or waistband. I carry a Savage Model 1907, in my pocket, but it never has a round in the chamber. If I ant to carry fully...

That is true but I find a lot of old revolvers with thin front sights, bent that way.

I always carry in church. There are at least 6 of us who carry every Sunday. I don't believe in hiding. Turn and fight is my motto.

It is small and really concealable. I am a good enough shot to make head shots with it out to 20 yards.

A moderate snowfall can be 48". I have seen 150" in the Mexico, NY area. You can really get lost up there.

They have a wooden backstrap.

No Star pistols of any caliber are safe with the hammer down on a loaded chamber.

This particular revolver has the chambers factory drilled straight through. A .38 Special will enter the chambers with no problem. As a matter of fact a .357 magnum will also chamber. I would shoot...
