Wheelgun Perfection: S&W Model 640

The stainless construction, combined with the longer barrel, made the 640 significantly easier to shoot when compared with the alloy guns. My friends have told me that I’ve never met a J-frame that I didn’t like. That is not quite the case but certainly, the new 640 has a lot to offer.

For the Old West Lover in Us: Davidson’s Exclusive 1873 Revolver

For the Old West Lover in Us: Davidson’s Exclusive 1873 Revolver

To me, there’s something special about using a Colt 1873-style revolver. Part of it, of course, is the connection to our Old West history, cowboys and gunfighters, and all those John Wayne movies I watched as a kid. But there’s also a simplicity and a functionality to the 1873 and its single-action operation I find very attractive, as well as how good the revolver feels in hand, the weight, and the fine balance.

The entire XDS line up shoots like a house on fire, and the OSP is no exception. Sized perfectly to carry extremely well, but still be a shooter on the range, this gun is hands down a winner.

CMP 1911s: Yes, They’re Real & Here’s How to Buy One

US military handguns have not been sold to citizens as surplus weapons in quite a long time. Given the current political climate, it’s really hard to tell how long the CMP will keep getting 1911s to sell. I am really happy with the pistol I received, and I believe you will be as well if you get one. If you’re a diehard 1911 fan, these are a must and they’re definitely worth the wait. It’s not every day that you can buy a real piece of history.

The Micro 9 is essentially a “Honey, I shrunk the 1911” design, with a few subtle changes. It’s available in a rainbow of bright metallic finishes that are – if nothing else – very eye catching!
