I have a prelock 625 Mountain Gun in .45 Colt on the way. Supposedly unfired, or if it was it was very little. Barely a turn line. When I get it I will post pictures. Late last year I got a 25-2 in...

Is the standard pin walking out something I should expect? Is it normal or sign of a defect? Maybe I should order one while they’re still available
I could be wrong but I think I remember reading about at least one case where a prosecutor still went after a private citizen after a self defense shooting for using Critical Duty or Defense FTX...
I like the look and feel of the Marlins, and by all accounts the new Ruger-made Marlins have very good QC. The reason I don't consider it is because of the "Marlin jam" with the 1894 .357s, something...
How in the world did that set off primers? I gotta think those were extra finicky on primer sensitivity, even with Federals.
I noticed your cylinder pin is a little different from standard. What is that and where did you get it (if it didn't come with it)?
It may have been answered here before, but has anyone had light strike/QC issues with the .38 Special UC? Or is this purely a .32 phenomenon?
Yesterday was my first time shooting a single action revolver for more than a few shots (not counting shooting DA revolvers in SA). I never had an issue with the hammer slipping or myself otherwise...
For me, it’s because I haven’t yet bought one yet. But I think I’m leaning towards a Uberti 73 in .357 again. If the Winchester Miroku 92 didn’t have the rebounding hammer and multi-piece firing pin...
I picked up a Lipsey's Exclusive Ruger Blackhawk Flattop Convertible today, .45 Colt/ACP cylinders, 4 5/8" barrel, stainless.

Lost River was the inspiration (or instigator) for this...
That answers the question pretty well. As much as I like the Winchester Miroku 92, I am a bit concerned about the light strikes thing and not all that confident in my ability to modify the ignition...
Do you have a preference between a 73 and 92? Particularly in .357
Apologies, I’m pretty sure you already said it, but your .357 carbine you’re referring to, is it an 1873?
I have seen it. The Browning B92s are beautiful and would be exactly what I want, but I want to get something new/unfired, preferably still in production.
Uberti does do ‘73s in .45 Colt. That’d...
I have a bolt action (bought on the advice early in this thread) and really like it. I do find the lever actions to be a bit quicker, though, especially if used as a woods defense gun or travel to...
I'm kind of back to the drawing board with what lever gun to get in the hopes of getting one that is as reliable and durable as a lever gun can be. First I was planning on the Uberti 1873 in .357,...
I've been holding off on ordering one of the new production Winchester/Miroku 92's as I started reading about the rebounding hammer and multi-piece firing pin, a different-from-original design done...
I think I'm just going to get a Winchester/Miroku 1892 in .357 and call it a day. I'll try to source any spare parts I might need in the future as I'm able to find them.
Speaking of which, for...
Did Smith do factory polished nickel finishes on Model 13's? I've been looking at this one on gunbroker: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1048277457
I've been really wanting a 3 inch Model 13 or 65,...
It’s this one, item 5243. Getting a Bisley hammer isn’t a deal breaker, it’s something I might do down the road. I just want a rock solid single action .45 and this one has the looks I want
I play with the idea of getting a Mil Spec or Garrison, and perhaps having a good 1911 smith go through it. I think SA uses glued in ejectors though, and I’m not sure I’m down with that. I don’t know...

Is this a newly released Lipseys distributor exclusive? I’ve been wanting a .45 cal stainless flat top Blackhawk in 4&5/8” and this...
I decided to cancel the Uberti ‘73 order. I’ve been considering the fact that I want to primarily shoot factory .357 Magnum loads through a .357 lever gun, and I’m not sure the 73 would be the best...
I think today is the last day I can switch to getting the Winchester Miroku 92 instead of the Uberti 73. Reliability and durability (with replacement parts factoring into the ability to keep them...
The better availability of replacement parts and gunsmiths for the Uberti 73 are what tips me on that direction, it seems to perform reliable enough for those who shoot leverguns a good bit (at least...
