A friend called me on Wednesday and wanted to make the rounds, so off we went. At a local Lawmen’s, there she was. Sitting on the bottom shelf at the far right was a familiar silhouette. I’d recognize those Bolt Ears, those grips and that long tapered barrel anywhere. It was a Ruger Mark II...

Slow day today, but there was a Gun Show at the National Guard Armory. So a friend and I went off to see what was doing. Not a lot of WWII weapons, ammunition or collectable stuff. No ammo for the Japanese Nambu Type 94 8 mm but I did get a line on where to get some. Loads of hunting rifles...

Many moons ago from 1885 to 1916 there was a company in Syracuse, New York owned by Dan Lefever or Uncle Dan, as he was called. Old Dan designed and manufactured shotguns. Some were graded high dollars, some or less. He produced 60,000 and was right up there with the big boys. He eventually got...

I think Ruger has another real winner here. A friend and I were making the rounds this week. He’d been researching the Ruger LC380 and was thinking about getting one. I’ve done some research so I was interested. Any way we both bought one each. I throw these things on a scanner; add the pictures...

I was out making the rounds yesterday and ran into a great deal on a LLAMA Minimax 45 Subcompact. She was made in Spain around 2003. The company is no longer in business but those old fellows in Eibar knew how to copy a Colt 1911 A1. She’s got the Spanish Proof marks and it should be an...
