I looked at the website for these guns and I have the following observations: - These .22 revolvers are being marketed as scaled down versions of the Colt Peacemaker cowboy revolver. They look similar to a Ruger Single-Six or a Bearcat. If you compared one to an Indy-style large frame Smith & We...

Yes, you want the WWI ones. I have a couple of the WWII Canadian web holsters. My S&W Victory model fits perfectly, and a .380 Webley or Enfield would fit well too. Not sure if a large frame revolver like the S&W HE2 or the Colt New Service would fit.

Yes, that's the one! It attaches to the belt with a pair of brass C-clips on the back and has a slot inside for a cleaning rod. It's not "Indy", though.

Well, I was browsing Midway's website tonight and I answered my own question about a source of bullets for the .380/200. They've been right under my nose all the time. I've been too busy looking at handgun bullets and not enough looking at the rifle section. Of course, a 200 grain roundnose jacketed...

My Enfield fires a .38 S&W round which is slow as molasses. ... I also remember how soft the lead was in that round. I fired it at an old car hood. I think I took some of the paint off. #-o Did I buy the cheap brand? Kind regards, Indy The problem with the .38 S&W round is that so many of t...

The 84mm Carl Gustav isn't a rocket launcher - it's a recoilless rifle. The Canadian army uses them and I got to fire one during my militia training. No recoil but the blast when you fire it feels like being hit on all sides with big pillows, and you can smell blood in your nose for a second. Click ...

Really good site. It says the S&W HE2 .455 was the primary Canadian sidearm in WWI. There are still a lot of these guns floating around in Canada - a gun store close to where I live currently has two of them for sale. I may buy one someday, but if it is still complete and original I'd be relucta...

Interesting pic. Must be a really early Enfield with those walnut grips. Most of the Enfields I have seen have looked like the thumbnail at the top of that page with no hammer spur, black plastic grips with a sort of a "thumb groove" near the top, and a painted black finish. Crude but effe...

I'm surprised your Victory isn't ALREADY the correct barrel length. All the Victory's I've ever seen (and owned) have had 4 inch barrels. The ones that were US issue generally had 4" barrels, but the ones made for Lend Lease program had 5" barrels and they were in .38 S&W (called .380...

Those guns were available last year as a Custom Shop item at horrendous prices ($900 or so), in .44 Special and I think .45 Auto Rim or .45 Colt. Too many things wrong with them, IMHO. I didn't like the round butt configuration, the drift adjustable sights, the modern shaped cylinder latch or the fa...

Looks more like a Webley to me. The gun in the picture looks like it's either cocked or has a hammer spur showing, but the Enfield was double action only and did not have a spur on the hammer.
