H and R Inc. Model 586 5 shot 32 Hand R mag revolver. I nice little gun. Also a double action and a side loader so it's not a pistol you can use speed loaders with.

My second EAA 380 that was used for cancelled carry for years. As with the first it is a single action with three different safeties.

Smith and Wesson Model 457 45 cal pistol. Lighter then many of the older style 45s but still with some weight to it. It proved useless to carry in my NRA vest because it would pull it down on the side I was carrying it in. It's a easy to shoot gun that is accurate. The first gun I had with a decocker level.

IAC Billerica MA 12 gauge shotgun. It will fire the 3 inch shell and was made in China. It is a good shooting gun but not a hunting gun due to its wide spread at 50 feet.

Marlin 1894 44 Rem. Mag that I got for Christmas in 2004. I wanted one to go with my Smith and Wesson Model 629 revolver so when camping I would only need to bring one type of ammo for two guns. As of today I have yet to fire it but with a small range on the bottom of the property plan to shortly.

Henery Repeating Arms Henry U.S Survival .22 cal rifle. Another rifle not yet fired, I have a few .22s still not fired that I am planning to try out in time. This rifle breaks down into parts that fit inside the stock for easy backpack carry. And it floats if for some reason you were to drop it into water.

Beeman 1073 Dual Caliber .17 and .22 cal pellets. I have it sighted in with the .22 barrel, I tried it with the .17 with the scope but it was not accurate. Seeing that I already have a .17 rifle with a red dot sight I kept this with the .22 barrel. It's a powerful rifle that at 35 feet was able to penetrate through cardboard a 3/4 inch of plywood and the wood fence I had the target hanging on. It's also one of the noisiest air guns I have ever heard. If I ever purchase another one I will look into one with a noise reduction system on it.

F.LLI Pietta 1858 New Army .44 black powder revolver. It shoot well and it sights a better then my 1851 Navy revolver. It also has the ability to half rotate the cylinder so you can drop the hammer allowing all cylinders to be loaded.

J Stevens single shot .22 pistol. Inherited it and have yet to fire it. With a range now set up on our property that day should soon be coming.

Smith and Wesson 340PD 38/357 revolver. It's a very light revolver bought for the wife constructed of a

scandium-enhanced aluminum alloy, a titanium alloy cylinder, and a corrosion-resistant steel barrel liner. Even being light it has little kick with 38 special rounds and kicks quite a bit more with 357 rounds.

Heritage Arms Barkeep .22 revolver. It loads through the side gate and does not have a ejector on the gun but comes with a little tool for pushing out the fired spent cases. Another gun not fired yet.

 

[Snoopy22]

Another Heritage Arms but this on is the Rough Rider model with a 6 and a half long barrel. It also came with a .22 mag cylinder.

 

[Snoopy22]

And another Heritage Arms .22 Rough Rider revolver but with a slightly shorter barrel of 4 and 5/8th. I liked color of the grip.

Ruger Wrangler .22 revolver. I bought this at the same time of the Heritage Arms revolvers. It was a bit more expensive but it's construction quality feels much higher (and it came with a holster)

. That's not saying the Heritage Arms are not good quality.
