I actually own some firearms. Mostly the ones I don’t get to shoot often. The ones that serve as the centerpiece to my “I’ll never get a round to it” project list. This 41 Magnum Ruger Blackhawk was going to be my “I’m sending this to (insert expensive gunsmith/artist)” special […]

I’ve always been a Ruger Blackhawk fan, owning, shooting and reloading for 41 Remington Magnum, 44 Remington Magnum and 45 Colt versions. Excellent guns that have seen a good deal of use at the range and, occasionally, have seen back up duty while rifle hunting, but rarely used as a […]

So I got into it with some of my co-workers over my approach to dealing with firearms with bores in need of attention. Rule of thumb, when I’ve put 200 rounds through a firearm, I sell it and avoid the whole cleaning issue. It’s better than my previous approach, which […]

Someone said, not long ago, that I should never again write about air rifles. I believe I’ve heard the same in regard to firearms, motorcycles, automobiles, rocketry, and potato guns which proves, if anything, that I am consistent. Criticism wasn’t leveled at my technical assessment of the subject air rifle’s […]

A search for a vintage Remington Model 12 slide action 22 rimfire rifle was underway at Real Guns™. Unfortunately, examples fell into one of three categories: retrieved from the bottom of an ocean, sanded slick and refinished to look flawlessly new and/or so expensive I’d be classified a dilettante if […]

I have to admit, I have been having fun with Mossberg rifles as of late. First it was the Mossberg 464™ Lever Action Rifle, now it’s the Mossberg 4×4™ Bolt Action Rifle. None of these are new introductions as much as newly revised products and firearms we have not covered […]

Some time ago, I was watching a TV episode of Swamp People. An alligator hunter named Bruce Mitchell lost his balance, fell out of his flat bottom boat and onto the back of a substantial size gator. Mitchell, apparently unfazed by the circumstance, pulled a North American Arms mini revolver […]

Every year, Remington produces a Limited Edition rifle, chambered for a cartridge with a unique quality and/or history. The gun for 2011 is a Model 700 CDL SF chambered for the 6mm Remington, and that is pretty special. This limited edition Model  has very clean stainless steel hardware – action, […]

Looking closely at a 454 Casull Ruger Super Redhawk, you’ll see a slight difference in texture and color across the three major components, frame, cylinder and barrel. The big 454 Casull cartridge has a maximum average pressure of 65,000 PSI, compared to only 36,000 for the .44 Remington Magnum, which […]
