Welcome to TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, where we discuss every aspect of revolvers. In this edition, we’ll take a look at a few examples of revolvers used in crimes in recent history. A couple years ago, I posited that revolvers were still viable for the simple fact that criminals still choose to use them from time to time, however, today I thought we would simply take a look at a few recent examples of revolvers used in crimes since that last article.

“Psst… hey kid, you want a revolver? Everyone’s doing it, you know you want to.” Welcome to another TFB Wheelgun Wednesday, where we explore the world of revolvers. This week’s edition will be more geared towards those who haven’t joined the revolver-owning cool kids, but we certainly want to hear from our regular wheelgunners to cover other reasons or considerations. For those readers that haven’t taken the leap, let us know what’s held you back. Let’s dig in to the top 5 reasons you should get a revolver!

Welcome to TFB’s Wheelgun Wednesday, where we take a look at anything and everything wheelgunnery has (or had) to offer. This week, we’ll recap the 2021 revolvers and gear to see what manufacturers brought to the table, which was actually a lot. For those that enjoy revolvers, or a narrowed portion of them, there’s something for everyone across the board; from single-action, top break, double-action/single-action, to holsters and a new loading device. Make sure you join in on the comment section and tell us what your favorite wheelgun of 2021 was.

Welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world and its various guns, ammo sports, and mysteries. Recently I’ve been going through a bunch of .22LR handguns that are well known for either their staunch reliability or their relative infamy. Well-known handguns like the High Standard Manufacturing Flite-King are some of the most venerated .22LR pistols known to history while the Jennings J22 we took a look at last week don’t have the best reputation in terms of reliability and safety. More in line with the last pistol that we checked out, the HP22 is another low-cost pocket-sized .22LR pistol that doesn’t carry the best of reputations. I purchased my own copy of the HP22 to get a feel for the compact .22LR handgun and today I’ll share my thoughts and opinions on the piece to see if it is something you might want to pick up or avoid.

In the mid 20th century, one of the disciplines under the aegis of UIT (Union International de Tir, ISSF’s predecessor) was the Centre Fire Pistol Match.  Competitors would first need to fire 30 rounds at 25 meters for a “precision” score.  The “Dueling” portion of the match would entail a further 30 shots at a 25-meter target that would be exposed for three-second intervals.

CZ-USA have announced the introduction of a new addition to their Shadow 2 line of pistols. The new Shadow 2 SA is a single action pistol chambered in 9x19mm, the new single action trigger is aimed to appeal to the target shooting market.

In this episode of the First Firearm series, we’ll take a look at the things to consider when buying your first revolver.  This series is dedicated to those that are new to gun ownership and looking for their first gun, or for those that are buying the first type of gun that we’re discussing.  Let’s take a closer look at the infamous, yet often overlooked revolver.

The North American Arms Revolver is a modern classic that never fails to put a smile on the face of both new and old shooters. This episode of TFB TV, Patrick takes his NAA (or North American Arms) revolver out to the range for some fun. Chambered in .22 long rifle and holds only 5 shots in its removable cylinder, the NAA single action revolver is a perfect range toy, but not the most optimal carry gun.

Back in May, Chris Baker released these three videos on DA/SA handguns for the LuckyGunner YouTube channel. They are all of the same high standard of quality I’ve come to expect from Chris, so I recommend my readers watch all three of them before continuing:

Thanks to Enzo for sending this our way.

Bersa was founded in the 1950s by Ercole Montini, Benso Bonadimani, and Savino Caselli. The company, which is based in Argentina, got its start manufacturing parts for a company by the name of Ballester-Molina (a company which is now out of business). They did eventually begin designing their own guns starting with a handgun called the Luan which was based on a Ballester model. It wasn’t until 1994 that they came out with the Bersa Thunder series which is comprised of various calibers and two designs, one blowback and one locked breech.

After having spent a week at the SIG facilities back in June I really didn’t expect to see many new guns. Well I was wrong there were many more handguns than I expected.

This is nothing new, but for those who don’t know, Cowboy Action is a competition similar to 3gun except they use old styled firearms. They use a revolver, shotgun and rifle. However they are all manually operated. Single action revolvers are used for the pistols. Side by side, pump (hammered) or lever action shotguns and lever action rifles are used.

Muzzle-loading rifle maker Traditions is partnering up with famed Italian gun maker Pietta to import two new classic single-action revolver lines into the U.S.A.

The second handgun I ever purchased – and the most accurate I’ve ever owned – was a replica single action revolver made in Italy. It was chambered in .45 Colt and a blast to shoot. There are many varieties of single action revolvers available now, and many are made by the Italian manufacturer Uberti.
