Mitch Rosen Extraordinary Gunleather CCQ IWB Holster

One of the hallmarks of our writing here at RevolverGuy is our focus on the people and the stories behind the products that we enjoy so much. A straight product review is much easier to write, but not nearly as interesting or educational, I think. I’m always interested to learn more about the engineers, artisans, and craftsmen who design, build and refine the guns, holsters, ammo, and other tools of the trade, and the creative journey they take from idea to product.

SAC Tactical Revolver Class AAR

The Guns, the Gear, and The Legend . . .

Colt’s Kodiak 2.0

The original Colt Kodiak was an Anaconda-sized revolver chambered in .44 Magnum. It was produced in 1993, in limited numbers, and featured a nonfluted cylinder and a Mag-Na-Ported barrel. About 2,000 were manufactured, most sporting six-inch barrels. Far fewer were made with four-inch barrels. Colt’s new Kodiak is a faithful reproduction of the original.

Lipsey’s Exclusive John Taffin Ruger Flattop Perfect Packing Pistol

We were diminished on March 10, 2025, when we lost Mr. John Taffin, one of America’s finest gun writers, and an enthusiastic proponent of all manner of revolvers, particularly those of the big bore variety. Continue reading “Lipsey’s Exclusive John Taffin Ruger Flattop Perfect Packing Pistol”

This is a brief, and long overdue, review of a product that RevolverGuys are really going to benefit from. “I was there at the start,” when Harrison Jones of Harry’s Holsters began his work on his IWB Speedloader Carrier, and while I’ve been tardy in writing about it, as I tackled other obligations, I’m very excited about this product.
