In 1996,  Colt came out with what is now a very rare variant of the most excellent Anaconda revolver.    The Anaconda being a larger framed ( for 44mag) version of the  Python .357 magnum  revolver.  This limited edition was made in only 1,500 examples  supposedly and was  truly a “system”. The gun came from theContinue reading “COLT REALTREE ANACONDA .44 Rem Magnum”

Pistol_purview 1967 Colt 1911 by Santa Barbara gunsmith John Spilborghs. Spilborghs immigrated to the US from Belgium in 1967.

That company was Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. and the pistol was theContinue reading “Spain’s Exceptional Conceal Carry Gun: the Star PD 45 Pistol”

My Brother pick up a Taurus 1911 Commander and brought it by today. The gun has most of the things that factory 1911s come with these days. Action was really gritty and tight at first.

I looked it over today and I got to admit, unlike the usual AKs, this one is made pretty well. It doesn’t have a cheap finish that rubsContinue reading “Kalashnikov USA KR-9”

This one was one of the more radical ideas for the 1980s and one I handled quite a bit back in the day.

The Goncz pistol is one of those oddballs that is all but forgotten.
