I am long time collector, target shooter and part-time gunsmith. My interests are WWI / WWII era firearms, early Colt and Smith Wesson revolvers, Mossberg rifles and various 22 firearms. I am looking forward to sharing knowledge and experience with other members here. I buy, sell, trade... licensed FFL-01.

I often thought I'd like one of those big, gnarly revolvers in 45 ACP/Autorim. Colt or Smith, either one with 4" barrel, Parkerized, lanyard loop, and the look of battle in the trenches. Wonder what I'd have to pay for one of them?

A vintage 1917 S&W or Colt military issue revolver will be somewhere in the $700 - $1000 range these days. The S&W model 25-2, a modern N-frame revolver, from 1960's - 1980's, is another nice choice if you like the 45 ACP round. Uses half moon clips, nice shooter.
