I was just given one by my (now favorite) niece. A .357 carbine.Beautiful rifle, with a good trigger. The only negative I have is that the loading gate is sprung like a bear trap, and the edges of...

Would like To buy a set of Pachmyer grips for a Ruger Blackhawk. I found some on Amazon, but. I thought I’d check the used market first.

I like the Remora holsters.cheap, sturdy, and they stay put.

People think I’m lying to them, but when I was a kid (early 50s,) I remember two mail deliveries a day. Sad what’s happened to the post office.
