I am looking for a Taurus Model 86 in .38 Special. It's the Taurus equivalent of a S&W Model 14, a six inch target gun with no ejector rod shroud.
They made a couple of different generations of them, with earlier models having a rather flat looking hammer and grooves in the cylinder flutes. The...
People come from all over the world to the Wanenmacher show - a 3 hour drive ain't nuthin'.
However for a drive that long I'd recommend coming on Friday afternoon and spending the night. Doors open at 8:00am on Saturday (and not one second before) and there's usually a giant line along the...
I live in the Tulsa area but went to the Metcalf show in OKC, drove down early and got there about 9:30. Saw everything in 15 minutes, but went around a second time just because I had driven two hours to get there. A small and sad little show.
Then I drove back to Tulsa and went to the Grand...
Fun fact - the 10/22 was introduced as a similarly styled companion rifle, for inexpensive .22 practice. Not the first time the understudy has upstaged the "star", but rarely by such magnitude.
Oklahoma through North Dakota are the Plains States (including eastern Colorado). New Mexico and Arizona are the Southwest. Texas is like a whole 'nother country.
To Easterners, places like Ohio and Indiana are Midwest because anything between the Appalachians and the Mississippi is West -...
I remember a movie with Martin Short (think it might've been called Bad Luck or something like that) where in a scene towards the end, a guy has a gun that alternates between being a Beretta 92 and a 1911, depending on camera angle.
There is a scene from a TV show that was memorable to me...
Send the money order to his FFL. The FFL calls him when the money gets there and gives it to him when he brings in the gun to ship. That's about as foolproof as it gets.
I can vouch for the ZTS battery tester. Rather than just measuring voltage like a VOM or a cheapo tester, it puts a load on the battery to rate its remaining capacity. Works great and totally worth buying for the peace of mind.
For instance I have an LED flashlight that uses two AAs that had...
I'm not too crazy about the grooves milled on the sides of the receiver and barrel shroud. They look too much like the grasping grooves on a 1911 slide and will cause confusion with some people. Of course this isn't a pistol that one would choose for self defense so the consequence of any...
The PF922 conversion units are now fow sale, $199 with free shipping and $35 for extra magazines. They are expected to ship in February. I've ordered mine!
