Living with Snakes (But not the Venomous Ones)
The first night my wife and I stayed at our log cabin it was raining. We had closed on our retirement home in West Tennessee and were excited for our inaugural stay after our purchase. Just as I was about to drift off into a peaceful sleep, I realized I’d left something outside.
[Editor’s Note: This story contains images of snakes and stories of snake encounters. If snakes make you sssssskittish, we’d suggest skipping this story! The rest of you will enjoy this excellent tale from Steve, and its important lessons.]

.22 Flat Points
As a card-carrying member of what Michael Bane refers to as “Gun Culture 1.0,” I started my shooting days with the .22 Long Rifle. Continue reading “.22 Flat Points”
The Ruger Super Wrangler
If you’ve been around RevolverGuy since the early days, you may recall this particular RevolverGuy got his start with a Ruger Single-Six. That wonderful little sixgun was the tool I used to learn the fundamentals of shooting handguns, and it will always occupy a special place in my heart, and in my collection of revolvers.
That collection recently expanded by one with the addition of the Single-Six’s new little brother, the Ruger Super Wrangler. Continue reading “The Ruger Super Wrangler”

Review: Taurus 942 .22 LR Revolver
I don’t think I’ve made it any secret, but I am no fan of the .22 Long Rifle. It’s just generally not my cup of tea. Nothing against you if it’s yours, but it has never really blown my skirt up. Though the Ruger Wrangler has found a place in my collection, I remain sort of generally unimpressed with the .22 Long Rifle. Continue reading “Review: Taurus 942 .22 LR Revolver”
The Ruger Wrangler: Justin’s First .22!
Do you guys like IPAs? As a heavily tattooed, bearded, self-proclaimed beer guy I should probably appreciate the bright, piney hoppiness of a good IPA. But I don’t. Can’t. I much prefer the sweeter, rounder, malty notes of a lager, dunkel, or porter. I’ll even take a crisp pilsner (excluding classic, American “yellow beer” with a variation of the word “light” in the name, of course) over an IPA. When the IBUs climb above fifty, I’m tapping out. Continue reading “The Ruger Wrangler: Justin’s First .22!”
Custom Single-Six: Tyler Gun Works’ RSSE
I first encountered Tyler Gun Works a few years ago while searching for a Christmas gift for a close friend, one of the proverbial guys who is very difficult to buy for. Jeff Quinn of Gunblast.com wrote about a high quality tomahawk that piqued my interest. Its blade was case hardened and its handle was made of hickory. I went to the manufacturer’s website and found several models to choose from and they were all made of stainless steel. Continue reading “Custom Single-Six: Tyler Gun Works’ RSSE”
PSA: Shooting .22 Long Rifle in .22 Magnum Cylinders
A recent article in a popular gun magazine repeated a common—but dangerous—misunderstanding, and reminded me that you can’t always believe what you read. Continue reading “PSA: Shooting .22 Long Rifle in .22 Magnum Cylinders”
The High Standard Sentinel R-103
As RevolverGuys, we often focus on the good stuff. S&W. Colt. Ruger. We may frown upon other “lesser” makes of wheelguns (and I won’t mention them by name). But there is a make and model of revolver that is often overlooked because it wasn’t made by the big three. Continue reading “The High Standard Sentinel R-103”
