    My two favorite handguns in their corresponding presentation cases; the S&W Model 29 and Walther PPK! Both have been made famous on the silver screen, in Dirty Harry and James Bond. They are equally great in real life!

    New in my collection, a near mint condition S&W Model 29-2 with a 6.5" barrel, made in late 1977. The bluing is perfect, and only a partial turn line on the cylinder. Cylinder lock-up is tight, with virtually no end shake. I feel like I went back in time to a 1970s gun store, and got one brand new!

    Merc' beautiful Henry! You'll love it, Henry makes excellent rifles! Just yesterday I received a new 'Fancy' stock set upgrade for my Henry 30-30 Brass Wildlife Edition, it turned an already gorgeous rifle into a true heirloom piece. Yes, it shoots as good as it looks!

    I added another classic to the collection recently, the Walther PPK! This one is chambered in 9mm Kurz (380 ACP) and holds 7 rounds total. The PPK has a nice double-to-single action trigger, which is very smooth and crisp. I think it looks great in stainless steel, contrasted by the black grips...

    Blued steel, walnut, and brass. The trifecta of perfection.

    Nothing better on a cold morning than a hot coffee with a hot rifle. Blasting off my Henry 30-30 BWL at 100 yards.

    I can attest to that! I had to make use of their customer service to correct a minor issue with the sights, and they sent me a brand new sight free of charge! Top notch service for sure!

    I am now over 100 rounds through my brand new Henry 30-30 BWL edition lever action. I absolutely love this rifle, it shoots as good as it looks! It always gets compliments at the range too! :D

    Well, I was really liking those classic diamond grips, until I went to the range and put a full box of 38spl +P through the gun. A sore hand the next day made me realize I needed something a little more forgiving. Fortunately, Altamont also makes these equally beautiful and also very ergonomic...

    My brand new Model 642 38Spl, with classic rosewood grips from Altamont Company. The gun came with rubber grips with a low undercut that I wasn't particularly fond of; the wood ones add a lot more class and allow a full 3 finger hold.

    The barrel crown on my brand new S&W model 642 was sloppy and not concentric with the bore. A good crown is vital for bullet stability and accuracy. I recrownd it myself, and am very pleased with the end result. S&W would have done it for me also, but I didn't want to send it away. I used a...

    I'm more of a semi-auto guy, but I've got a soft spot for revolvers. Small, medium, large, and extra smoky!

    Shave of the Day

    I received my Giesen & Forsthoff 'Timor' razor yesterday. First impressions are very good, it has an impressive weight and looks to be of excellent quality. Chrome plated brass handle, with a chrome plated zinc alloy head. I shaved with it for the first time this morning. It gave a very smooth...

    Shave of the Day

    I have been wet shaving for years, but with a cartridge razor. I recently learned that the old fashioned safety razor can deliver an equal, or better, shave for a fraction of the price (in the long run)! I feel like a schmuck for buying those overpriced newfangled cartridges for years, but...

    I got my first black powder revolver this week, a Pietta replica of the Colt 1851 Navy. It sure is pretty, I love the open top Colts! I'm looking forward to making big smoke puffs at the range later this week! I've also been rolling some paper cartridges for it so I can spend less time...

    I bought this one a couple days ago for winter carry, a brand new Smith&Wesson M&P 9 M2.0 Compact with a 4" barrel (there is also a 3.6" barrel version). So far I put 600 rounds through it, all flawless. It's an exceptional shooter, though I expected nothing less from S&W.
