It’s easy to appreciate a quality revolver. The Smith and Wesson K-frame is a personal favorite. Recently we had a customer bring a 3″ Model 66 into the shop to have its front sight replaced. […]
Most of the rifles I review on this site were either built by me, or, in the case of factory guns, purchased with my own money. Occasionally I’ll get a T&E sample gun to review, […]
While most sporting shotguns lack the intricate sights associated with rifles, most have some sort of rib and/or bead present. Installing a bead on a plain shotgun barrel is a fairly simple task that can […]
