Returning to the topic of foraging weapons, back about 2000 I traded an American Arms 10 gauge SxS for a Baikal IZH-94 combination gun in 12 gauge over .308 and set about upgrading it. I tuned the...

I have a J-frame .22 kit gun that I would not trade for love or money. Aging eyes forced me to give up on a shrouded hammer .38 snub, much to my regret.

My first serious handgun was a used New Model .357 Blackhawk with a 4 5/8” barrel bought in Fairbanks the winter of 1979. I spent the next summer on the Arctic coast and in ten weeks it taught me how...
