Ray, I think you'll like the .45 ACP. I picked up one for an Uberti Cattleman I have. Just gives one a lot of flexibility. Though I handload, primers are just hard to come by, especially large pistol primers, and factory .45 Colt is ridiculously priced. On the other hand, one can pick up .45 ACP rou...

Any time someone gets hurt while using any type of firearm, it impacts all of us. Be safe out there. Exactly right! Every "accident" just gives more fodder for the anti's to try to take our rights, and allows anti-gun politicians (who general know less than nothing about firearms) the opp...

The darned Walker repros are tempting, but every Youtube I have seen shows the ramrod dropping and some serious cap sucking with the attendant advancing the cylinder by hand. It just seems to be a system that works only part of the time. But Rube is right -- in its time even with issues it was a hu...

Thanks for sharing this Darryl!

I'll be lucky to see those fine sights ,man they are tiny. I'll get small hole gage and get exact measurement and slug bore to see.I just did a quick check with dial calipers. I think you hit the nail on the head. The bore and chambers could have perfect measurements, and it wouldn't matter to my e...

Future project for me too. I've always wanted an "Avenging Angel"!

I absolutely love your fantasy gun, Jay! Very cool. It is giving sime ideas about how to get more use out of my 3rd Model Dragoon. Now I am assuming that once you make those mods there is no going back, correct? Thanks Gary. Actually, I can just use the original cylinder to shoot it cap and ball fa...

I saw the review and really enjoyed it. One of my favorite movies too. I recently watched another on a female Soviet sniper (Lyudmila Pavlichenko) who was even more successful than Vassili Zaitsev, called "Battle for Sevastopol". Good flick!

Hi Pat. You have an interesting one there. According to “ Iver Johnson Arms & Cycle Works Firearms 1871-1993 ” by W.E. Goforth, the barrel markings would indicate it was made between 1899 – 1911. Having a serial number without a letter prefix indicates it was made between 1894-1896. And the pate...

Doc, I can't add much to what has already been said. Yes, originals had a problem with the loading lever dropping. Field fix was often a pigging thong or something similar, as a dropping lever isn't just annoying, but can lock up the revolver when most needed. Subsequent models (Transitional, 1st, 2...

We would take the lite-brite pegs and melt them, fusing them into various object - most of which ended up being thrown at each other!

I am willing to try same but the deer have to cooperate which apparently they are loathe to do....I may have to go on one of those tennessee or florida canned hunts.....

Since I run our church's security team, I should be offended. Instead I forwarded it immediately to my XO.

Jay, yes, Mike Beliveau --"Duelist 54" on Youtube -- shows those loading port modifications. I'm tempted to try this as well. I had forgotten just how much punch the 1860 offered. Wonderful sixgun! Have you done anything about raising the front sights on your cap and ball Colts? I've seen...

These guns look really good. Particularly for the price. I doubt if they will stay so reasonable for very long. Agreed. I got mine on a super-sale, and it was well less than 4 c-notes! https://i.ibb.co/HK2NdVg/201-Tisas-Zig-PCS1911-Carry-22.jpg I replaced the grips with g-10 ones in a black and blu...

That seems to be the goan of the government.

This is a far cry from a government by, of and for the people.

Bill - I have both molds and really enjoy them. I also have EGB's dragoon mold. The heels help in loading, just like the originals, and really make using them in paper cartridges a breeze. Unfortunately a paper cartridge using the J&D bullet is darn near impossible to load in the Italian replica...

Ditto on both counts (but my cataract surgery was a few years before that)!

The swamp is using this to try to get their Ukraine funding.

Scott, I've met Chris a couple times. Seems like a real good guy, and an agent's agent. Don't know how he got to where he did given the current politics within the FBI.

I got mine in .44 Russian. Same reason - I already load that caliber.

A couple years ago I picked up a TR Khan/Kayhan "Duo-Sys" imported by SDS Imports while in TN at Bud's Discount Guns. The system intrigued me; it was both a pump and a semi-auto. Looked like a shotgun for serious social work, and the price was right, so I picked it up. Looks intimidating, ...

Scott, the grip on the 97 looks like it is as large as the 1860 Army. Looks like it would be very comfortable!

Thanks Jay! I have a consecutive pair of the early 1911A1s that don't seem to be on the list. Mine have been great shooter with no issues.

Thanks!

I would get it secured in a solid vise and soak it with some good penetrating oil like Kroil for a few days. Then take a small punch and try tapping it from the side on that broken edge as far out from the center as you can get to get it to turn. If it's still a no-go then try a little heat from a ...

I've had the opposite experience. After loading .45 Colt, .44 Magnum, .44 Special and .44 Russian for months on end, the 9mm feels dinky!

... but it is not a skills I have developed yet! So, back in 2022 I won an auction on a Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action 3rd Model. It was really stiff, but a thorough cleaning helped a lot. Only issue was that the single action stop would not hold, but it worked perfectly in double action model...

Way too young.

Prayers up for them both!
