    A good running 1911 is one of the best handguns out there. There are many good choices out there in what you are looking for that look vintage but have good sights and features. Remington, Springfield and Rock Island all ahve very good reputations. Use GOOD magazines and lube and there is no...

    The .38 S&W cartridge has a slightly wider case body than the .38 Special, so be warned that the cases will swell if fired in those revolvers. Also, the Brit .38 was only loaded to a rather anemic 650-700 fps.

    Okay, the confusion on the S&W and Colt revolvers comes from some different directions. Officers were allowed to purchase their own sidearms so there was a wide variety seen. The models of 1917, both Smith and Colt were built on their large frame guns and were made for the .45 ACP cartridge with...

    Terry, that S&W sounds like a beauty. Viola, the Beretta is a fine gun, but unless you have large hands, it can be uncomfortable. That's why the military also issues Sigs to shooters with smaller hands.

    45ACP Revolvers

    Okay, having owned and shot both of the 1917s, Colt and Smith, it really comes down to personal preference. Both were built by two of the world's premier gunmakers at their prime. The .45 Auto Rim was brought out in the 20s by Remington so they can be used without the moon clips. Ammo is still...
