Smith & Wesson’s Model 629 Deluxe .44 Magnum
This article originally appeared at OutdoorHub. Let’s address the magnum in the room first. It’s always important to get misconceptions out of the way, right? The Smith & Wesson Model 629 Deluxe .44 Magnum is not (exactly) the famous Dirty Harry .44 Magnum Revolver, although it is close. As a Model 629, it’s a stainless […]
SHOT Show: New Federal Premium .38 Special For Snubbies
Here’s some interesting new ammo from Federal Premium. It’s designed specifically for all those short-barrel revolvers like Smith & Wesson 642s and similar, Ruger LCRs and others like them. The bullet is an HST design, so it’s designed to penetrate and expand at rated velocity, but it looks more like a traditional “oil-drum” wadcutter style. […]

This article originally appeared at Ammoland. USA –-(Ammoland.com)- It’s easy to understand why we fight like cats and dogs during election season.

The advantage is portability and convenience: you can carry a handgun around much more easily than a ten-pound rifle or […]
Handgun Review: Smith & Wesson Model 66 Combat Magnum Revolver
It’s funny how things have a way of coming back into vogue with the passage of time. While I hope never to see the return of those hip-hugger, bell-bottom jeans and zip-up Naugahyde boots from the 70s, I am thrilled to see the return of a venerable and street-proven revolver, the Smith & Wesson Model […]
Gun Review: Smith & Wesson 647 Varminter
I first laid eyes on this little/big gem while on a prairie dog hunt in the great state of Montana. It took just one shot at a distant prairie dog for me to know I had to get one in my hands. Big, heavy, long and beautiful, its performance on varmints was astounding. The Smith […]
Concealed Carry Myths: Semi-Autos Suck Because Revolvers Don’t Jam
“A revolver never jams!” I hear this one virtually every time I visit a gun store. Given what I do for a living, I simply can’t help picking up the sales conversations at the gun counter. Yeah, I know. That’s nosey and none of my business. Whether it’s my business to overhear or not, the […]
