    Stainless or no.

    I know chromium steel was "discovered" in 1821, but it was not in wide use in the US till the 1900s. So my question is are SS guns HC/PC, OR is owning a Ruger Old Army the pistol equivalent to a plastic inline?

    Ultimate pistol

    If you could make the ultimate hand gun for hunting elk what would it look like/speck out as? It dose not have to be one that was built, but it has to look like it could have been made 1800 craftsmen. I would like to build such a gun now that I am done with my .62 smoothie (long Gun).

    New Remmie range report

    Well my new Pietta came home from Cabelas yesterday. Today I took it to the range. First thing I noticed that the grips were large compared to my Uberti. It was a big difference.
