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

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.

CMP 1911s: Yes, They’re Real & Here’s How to Buy One
Published: January 17, 2021 { 16 comments }US military handguns have not been sold to citizens as surplus weapons in quite a long time.
