My dad started taking me to gun shows when I was around ten years old. I fondly remember ogling the endless tables at eye level displaying Lugers, Broomhandle Mausers, Walther PPK pistols, Colt Single Action Army revolvers, and Smith & Wesson double actions in gold-colored boxes. Those were indeed the good old days, circa 1975. … Continue reading "Smith & Wesson Model 1 – Their First Firearm"| RevolverGuy.Com

Two years ago I was browsing Rob Leahy’s table full of leather holsters displayed for sale. Simply Rugged holsters are as handsome as they are practical and they will last several lifetimes. Leather holsters go well with blued steel and one in particular caught my eye. It was a Threepersons style (as made by George Lawrence) that Rob calls the 120. This one had the extra touch of being made and floral carved by Richard Gittlein. I picked it up to see what revolver it was made to fit...| RevolverGuy.Com

The Original Mountain Gun idea started with a conversation between two RevolverGuys in the late 1980’s. Tom Campbell and Ross Seyfried’s Mountain Revolver project led to some of the most practical and desirable revolvers ever made by Smith and Wesson.

When I was a kid, my dad had a Charter Arms Undercover .38 Special revolver that served as a faithful road trip companion. It resided in a homemade scabbard he’d fashioned from an old sheepskin lined, leather house shoe. It rode unnoticed between the seat rail and transmission hump on the floorboard of his International … Continue reading "Charter Arms Professional .32 H&R Magnum"| RevolverGuy.Com
While there are a number of what we might call “multi-caliber,” or “convertible,” revolvers available on the market, the guns that I call “switch-barrel” revolvers are far and few between. While you’ll probably find some factory-produced convertibles on the shelf of your local gun shop, the switch-barrel revolvers are normally custom propositions, made one at a time by talented gunsmiths.| RevolverGuy.Com

New Lipsey's Exclusive Ruger Flattop 41 Magnum! We've covered a lot of variations with our Ruger exclusives, but we couldn't wait to launch this one.

The first of its slightly smaller size in this caliber for Ruger. Great features you'd expect with the ability to handle multiple loads depending on your particular use.| Lipsey's Guns

One of the most commonly quoted misconceptions about wheelguns is that “revolvers don’t jam.” This is based on the correct idea that because a revolver is entirely mechanically driven, it’s more tolerant of neglect than a semi-automatic pistol. You pull a lever, it rotates a cylinder, and everything happens. The problem with stating that revolvers... The post Revolvers Don’t Jam appeared first on Gun Nuts Media.| Gun Nuts Media
