Title: Buying a used Revolver
Post by: alfsauve on October 14, 2014, 05:24:22 AM

Ran across this article that covers things to check for when buying a used revolver.

Some might be interested in page 10, where he's going over some specific things about each manufacturer's guns.    Let's just say, the author does not pull punches.   I was thinking about getting a ported Tracker, just for fun and to work on my rapid fire.   I think I'll just get one of my Smith's ported instead.

 Remember what I said about Taurus? Yeah, well Rossi is the Taurus budget line.
