Nice! Cowboy Action Shooting would be a fun activity to get into, however there aren't any groups around where I live that do it. I live pretty far up north, unfortunately most folks around these parts aren't very interested in the cowboy guns. There are some 2-gun competitions hosted by the...

Here is my favorite revolver to shoot, this Cimarron/Uberti 7th Cavalry 1873 SAA clone, loaded with real black powder 45 Colt. It's all the typical fun of target shooting, but with the added thrill of a fireworks show!

I added this retro futuristic revolver to the collection recently, the S&W M&P 340! Retro for being a revolver, and futuristic for being made entirely of space age materials. Scandium-aluminum alloy frame, titanium frame pins, and a stainless steel cylinder with black vapor-deposition coating...

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.

My brand new S&W Model 29 with aftermarket walnut Eagle Grips.

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...
