Reader Comments of the Week
“I also have the .44 cal. version and my son has the .357. We both enjoy shooting these revolvers. The grips really help with the recoil as well as the porting. In mine, I find that the recoil feels lighter with full magnum loads than my Model 629 and much lighter than my Ruger Super Blackhawk. I am really impressed with the workmanship of these revolvers and would recommend them to anyone who is in the market for a magnum revolver.”
– CHUCK, in response to Review: Taurus 627 Tracker .357 Magnum
“Good article. I’ve been an AR-15 fan ever since I bought my first back in th late 70s. Still have that weapon and she’s still pretty much stock, accept for a red dot system I mount on top of the handle. I would like to put a flat top upper with a shorter barrel and I’m looking at a pistol convertion for close-in home defense work.”
– MICHAEL, in response to America’s Rifle: What I Love About the AR-15
“I built up an AR-15 on a Hess, carbon fiber lower around 12 years ago – and after more than 10,000 rounds through it, the lower receiver has held up without any cracks or visible defects. I would not hesitate to build another utilizing a carbon fiber lower in the future. If as has been said, the polymer lowers are even stronger, I would not hesitate building on that base either.”
– GEORGE, in response to Is the Polymer Lower a Good Idea?
