Ruger LCR – Goodness in 22

Ruger LCR – Goodness in 22

I recently evaluated the Ruger LCR in .38 Special. As a follow-up, I wanted to evaluate the LCR in .22 LR. eing a fan of the Smith & Wesson J-frame, I am fortunate to own a Model 43C which is also chambered in .22 LR. This review also gave me an opportunity to compare the LCR with the Smith.

The Unique Chiappa Rhino

The Unique Chiappa Rhino 30DS X

It’s ugly! It’s heavy! It’s clunky! It’s expensive! It’s unconventional! Yes, it is! But damn if it doesn’t shoot! The Chiappa Rhino revolver is probably the most uniquely designed revolver produced in the last 100 years or more.

Colt’s Combat Commander Custom Carry

Colt’s Combat Commander Custom Carry

Colt went well outside the box on the new Custom Carry by selecting some of the best parts on the market. While the name sounds rather benign, this Custom Carry is one of the most well thought out, and feature rich, 1911s on the market today.

Wheelgun Perfection: S&W Model 640

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.

$5000 Revolver - Korth Mongoose Silver

$5000 Revolver – Korth Mongoose Silver

The Korth Mongoose sells for close to $5,000! I have no doubt that this may be the most expensive revolver ever covered by GunsAmerica. Yes, you can buy three and a third Pythons for the cost of the Mongoose.

Smith & Wesson Model 19 Classic – Return of the Combat Magnum

Smith & Wesson Model 19 Classic – Return of the Combat Magnum

Smith & Wesson’s K-frame series is, without question, the most prolific series of revolvers ever produced. If my count is correct, Smith offers, at least 14 models based on the K-frame. Calibers includes .22 LR, .38 Special, .357 Magnum. However, the Queen of the K-frames is, and will always be the Model 19 Combat Magnum.

Kimber K6 DASA Combat  -  Self Defense Wheelgun Extraordinaire

Kimber K6 DASA Combat – Self Defense Wheelgun Extraordinaire

In my opinion, the K6 series of revolvers are some of the best personal defense revolvers on the market. In a world of polymer wonder nines, I appreciate that Kimber has dedicated significant resources to designing and manufacturing a solid wheelgun.

S&W Model 649 Bodyguard

It has been 61 years since the Bodyguard was introduced. The fact that it is still in production is a credit to a design that has proven timeless.

S&W Model 638 Bodyguard

S&W Model 638 Bodyguard

It has been 65 years since the Bodyguard was introduced. The fact that it is still in production is a credit to a design that has proven timeless. I have always had an affinity for the little J-frames and the 638 has found a home in my daily lifestyle.
