Always appreciate you watching and sharing. Have a Happy and Safe New Year randyadams03! Tennessee is a beautiful place….visited Chattanooga many years ago.

That El Patron is a nice revolver as well. Thanks. Have a Happy and Safe New Year!

Yes, the videos I have on the Howa 1500 are my .270 Win bolt action hunting rifle. A Happy and Safe New Year to you as well.

The Detective Specials are gems. Nice to have 6 rounds of .38 Special in a snub nose. Great that you were able to find at least one. Have a Happy and Safe New Year hasgunwilltravel6840!

Hope your holidays are going well too JoseyWalesWisconsin! Thanks.

Thanks RyanSmith-rj7z. Hope you are having a very nice holiday time!

Nice! Sounds like a fine classic Blackhawk to own. Thanks for sharing about single action carry and have a fine holiday time robertwess4556!

Good choice if that is works best for you. I know the .38 works well for me in most everyday scenarios. Have a Great Holiday Season tymullins3998!

@@redesert_boy8202 you and yours have a blessed holiday. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year..

Had it at the range the other day. Just reminded me of what a great single handed short range shooter it is too with standard or +P defensive ammo. Merry Christmas JoseyWalesWisconsin!

@redesert_boy8202 Thank you Redesertboy..Merry Christmas from my family to yours Bro...take care!!

Very fine rifle, nice gift. Sounds like a good plan and a great match. I have a Rossi R92 lever action in .45 Colt to pair with my New Models Vaquero and Blackhawk. I also have a .357 Henry Big Boy carbine with the large loop lever and brass, yet no single actions to pair it with, just my 686 plus .357 magnum.

@redesert_boy8202 excellent choices!

I will absolutely check that out katanapr3. Merry Christmas to you as well!

You look sweet darling 😊❤

Yes it works well. Maybe someday I will find a P226 Equinox with the short reset trigger and shiny metal finish with wood grips as a companion. Have a Happy Holiday season steven3379.

That Rose P365 is a really classy looking gun. Yep the PPKs do the slide bite, but for me they are accurate even with the small sight. Concealability is very nice and will have to do a video on the Galco Lite 2.0 shoulder holster I have for it soon. The P365 is easier to operate than the PPK/s. Have a great Holiday Season iamsuperbleeder.

No buffing. This finish is how it came and I bought it used from the original owner was my understanding who may have never shot it. Thanks davidearl1056.

Just a follow up, now that think about it this was not the one from the original owner and yes I believe this one was shot some. However, still no buffing. It’s just as I bought it.

You know after I asked about if you would keep some revolvers, I went back and watched your video on shaking up your collection and saw the P227. So I know you might still have that one. I suppose the right question Big Swoll58, would be are you getting closer to the magic number of 5 in your collection or is your collection still growing since you said there were several semiautomatics you had your eye on. Wishing You and yours a great holiday season!

@. Merry Christmas to you brother. No my collection is not growing right now. There are some guns that I have my eyes on, and I may own in the future, but I haven’t purchased any of late. I am not real close to getting down to my bottom five yet, but I’m slowly working my way that way.

And I know you are very well acquainted with revolvers Big Swoll58. You think you will keep a couple when you are done “rightsizing” your collection?

@ I’m not sure what I’m gonna keep when I finish downsizing in the E. I’m thinking I’m gonna keep one semi and one revolver. But I’m still a long way from that so I won’t be surprised if that changes.

Sounds like a fine EDC and classic as well. If I remember right the Old Model Vaquero is a larger frame making it a stouter revolver. Thanks for sharing about using a single action for EDC ByLandandSeaArms.

Appreciate your insight and sharing Reshtarc. Thanks.

Appreciate you sharing and that video of the Lehigh defense bullet. I also have a S&W Governor which shoots the .45 Colt well as a cross draw defensive carry. Is your DA a Taurus or S&W or something like that. I have always wanted the S&W model 25 in .45 Colt, but usually only find that 6.5” version as the 4” mountain gun is hard to find. Also certain Model 25s are .45 ACP only with moon clips. Thanks thetexasrat.

@@redesert_boy8202 I cross draw carry as well. I have a Judge Magnum (which has a 3" barrel and a 3" cylinder). I also plan on sizing some cases down to fit this bullet into regular 45 Colt cylinders, so as to fit in a Ruger Redhawk with a 4.2" barrel for EDC cross draw. The Ruger Redhawks with the 4.2" barrels also take moon-clips of which one could trim down .308 cases to accept this bullet for speed loading purposes.

@@thetexasratYou know when the Ruger Redhawk 45 Colt / 45 ACP with the moon clips first came out many years ago, I ordered one and after many months of waiting cancelled the order. That would still be the best overall DA/SA .45 Colt IMHO as the Redhawks should handle very stout loads to my understanding. You may want to check out Garrett Cartridges of Texas who make RHO or Redhawk Only cartridges even in .45 Colt. Thanks for sharing.

@@redesert_boy8202 I'm sure that being the cases will have to be cut down that Garret does not have these. And being they will have to be made up special I can just as easily make them myself. I have the equipment to do so, but no known load data for this exist, so I'll have to work up a load myself.

Thanks. I will have to check it out. Hope all is well with you JoseyWalesWisconsin.

Thanks for the heads up on the Birchwood Casey lead remover & polishing cloth for the stainless steel. I would imagine keep away from nickel too in addition to the blued? Thanks again randyadams03.

Thanks for your comment and your subbing to the channel SHOOTIE9.

And that’s a really handy size to carry .44 Special for personal defense as well as the stout magnums. Since you hand load you can set it up just how you want it with the bullet you want. You take and be well too my friend!

Ha Ha! An absolutely fitting name! I could indeed hear him saying that in his special way. Good thoughts and memories of a true icon in gun culture and You Tube history. Thanks Greg! Thanks to Mr. Holster and his legacy as he rests until our Lord returns.

Thanks for the kind words and sharing the history of an overlooked and under appreciated firearm. I have also thought of buying at least 1 more in 9 mm and maybe other calibers as I enjoy and like it that much. You especially have a fine collection of them and can enjoy them for years to come. Be safe and well!

@redesert_boy8202 I am glad I can help spread the love for this gun. Here is a little short I did with my SIg Pro collection. th-cam.com/users/shorts4UUiRzUOAaQ?si=pascnpXNf1SCJsKs

@@katanapr3 Yes really enjoyed that short. We should all be so equipped with .40 S&W, .357 Sig, and of course 9mm. Thanks katanapr3! BTW with the katana in your name, may II ask if you have edged weapons like swords?

@redesert_boy8202 I did have a small sword collection at one point. But when my oldest son moved out of the house, he asked if he couldn't take them with him and I let him have them.

Michael, I was looking at a new Colt Viper the other day, it appeared that maybe the K-Clip and K-Pak would fit as I believe they are new D frames. Have you tried them in the new Viper? Wishing you a Wonderful Holiday Season!

Thanks steven3379. Yes, that is my first and favorite Rossi R92 probably since its .45 Colt. I have 2 others in .44 Magnum and .357 Mag/.38 Spl. They are very nice too and both stainless.

I do agree it looks best in its original natural open sights set up. I am doing a more detailed video next week talking about why I did it and how if I buy an updated same Henry with a side gate loader I would most likely return this one normal. Thanks jackieschuler.

So glad you enjoyed it joepro3749. Thanks for watching and sharing.

We did….hope your was great as well. Having one of those quandaries of should I buy the nice clean Model 67 .38 Spl stainless no dash with wood grips or the older (not a 3 screw) Ruger .41 Magnum with some wear. I was told 7.5”, guess I need to look at it. Need that .41 Mag, want that classic S&W….lol.

Yes, I appreciate that. Sometimes companies update or fix what is not needed….just like the S&W key lock. Also there is a Part 2 as to how it was resolved if you have not seen it. Thanks for watching and sharing.

@ The problem I have with Uberti is not that they came up with a passive safety system, but that they didn’t make sure that their new system worked well. In a manufacturing sense, things get through QC, that’s understandable, but stand behind your product and make it right.

@@Daniel-yf9iy Well put Daniel-yf9iy.

They most certainly have their uses. Wishing you and your family a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving mr. plowboysghost.

And to you and y'all, brother . ​@@redesert_boy8202

Yes, I feel fortunate to have them. Appreciate the humor. Have a great holiday week steven3379.

I quite agree Greg. The Colt DS for sure uses those and the S&W Combat Masterpiece either has those or the Hornady American Gunner 125 gr XTP. There is so many very good standard .38 Special offerings now. Looking forward to your Journey with the .44 Special Bulldog. BTW are ever tempted to one day explore these new S&W and now Ruger .32 H&R Magnum (also shoots the .32 S&W Long and .32 S&W) snubbies being offered? Or maybe like me you’re hoping Taurus or Charter Arms might build an affordable one, lol. Thanks and Blessings my friend!

Any P226 is great to own. There was a time I wanted a P226 Equinox with the wood grip, polished finish, and most of all the short reset trigger. Thanks Big Swoll58.

Keanon thank you. I know Sig Sauers are among your favorites. Have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Thanks for sharing steven3379. This one is always in my “go” bag as it is reliable and durable.

@steven3379 I highly recommend it! Thank you for your dad's service! 🇺🇸

I did enjoy it. Ruger is known for making very sturdy, reliable, and well made revolvers from the compact LCRs to the double / single action SPs & GPs to the Vaquero and Blackhawk single actions. They also make many .22 LR & .22 Magnum revolvers. Thanks for sharing.

Mr. plowboysghost always appreciate your insight especially with .45 Colt as you have been working with that caliber quite a while and developing your own loads. Planning this winter to really get started on hand loading not just for .45 Colt, but .38 special, .357, and possibly .32 S&W Long, as well as .45-70. Wishing you and yours a great Thanksgiving next week.

Thanks for the feedback and good wishes randyadams03. Have a great upcoming Thanksgiving holiday next week.

Thanks so much RyanSmith-rj7lz.

Hope that works out for you mikepowell5094. If I might ask, was it a .32 caliber in general or the H&R or the S&W. Thanks for watching and sharing.

@redesert_boy8202 h and r

Appreciate that Keanon as I know you have a fine collection and I enjoy your channel as well. Be safe and well sir!

I hope you find it interesting. Thanks steven3379.

I remember that you have that nice nickel Colt DS. Did not remember about the Colt Agent. Very cool. Really seen some nice Colt Trooper MKIIIs lately, but pricey. Yes, the Colt DS is my favorite .38 Special snubbie. Appreciate the new 7 round K-PAK2 and the SafeSnap discs among other things. Hope your holidays will be great!

Appreciate you weighing in and sharing about your profession. I am just damn glad to get my classic snubbie back that is hard to replace. Most people do not recognize value of craftsman in our society. So many young people do not have the patience and focus to watch, listen, do, and learn to build the skills that are becoming scarce and sparse in today’s world. For most if you can’t find it on line and do it in 30 seconds, then there is no interest. Thanks for modifying, customizing, engraving, restoring, and repairing our firearms. Be safe and well bennicholson5238.

I did not see him do it. My best understanding from the gunsmith is he has various size rods (not sure of material) that match caliber to remove them somehow. Good question for your local gunsmith. Thanks.

Thanks I appreciate that. Sorry you had to experience that as well. And with a Ruger in .45 Colt my favorite caliber. Just hesitated too long last month and missed out on a Ruger Redhawk in .41 Magnum. Nice you have the .45 Colt Redhawk. Did you know Garrett Cartridges makes RHO Redhawk Only .45 Colt ammo. Be safe and well bryanmise5105.

Usually do not shoot bulk ammo in my more special “ collectible,” guns like this fourth series ~1994 Colt Detective Special….just stick to self defense or good quality FMJ. Yep looks like the supplies I been putting together along with reloading guides and equipment need to be put to use. Thanks for sharing A.R. American.
