This Old Gun: Ruger’s Speed Six

By Tom McHale|2025-11-25T11:53:17-05:00November 25th, 2025|

Back in the day, not long after station wagons roamed free and kids slept on the rear window shelf on long highway trips, a highway patrolman bought this Ruger Speed Six .357 Magnum as a backup and off-duty carry gun. As you can see, it’s still in (not surprisingly) great health and ready for the range. The holster might be overdue for an upgrade, but I consider those consumable parts anyway. Well, after 30 or 40 years in this case.

The Unrepentant Sixgun

I appreciate fine craftsmanship. I appreciate art, well, maybe not the “banana taped to a wall” sort, but that which displays masterful talent. And if you’ve been reading this stuff before, I also appreciate a laugh or two. Sometimes, all of these fuse together.

The Revolver .32 H&R Magnum Makes a Comeback?

By Tom McHale|2024-11-18T11:52:42-05:00November 18th, 2024|

Roy explores a new offering from Charter Arms - a revolver chambered in .32 H&R Magnum. After losing attention to the .327 Federal Magnum, many thought this caliber would fade away, but like shooting .38 specials in a .357 Magnum wheelgun, shooting the H&R can be a lot more enjoyable and perfectly adequate for defensive use.

The Right Grips Can Make All the Difference

By Tom McHale|2024-11-15T11:59:15-05:00November 15th, 2024|

The right grips can make all the difference. Sometimes, original factory designs (primarily on older guns) are just… wrong. Other times, individual hand size and shape don’t quite mesh with the shape of your particular gun. Whatever the reason, customizing grips can make a big difference in how well you handle and shoot your handgun.
