This review of the British Old Pattern No1 MkI revolver highlights its construction and handling characteristics. Weighing 2.3 lbs with an overall length of 10 inches, it fires 455 Webley. The video notes significant frame wiggle, a muzzle-heavy balance, and a thin grip, impacting handling. The trigger is described as heavy with an odd pull, and the sights are noted as damaged and misaligned.
This video introduces the Smith & Wesson 642 as a first revolver purchase, chosen for its durability, resistance to moisture and grit, and reliability for pocket carry. The presenter highlights its light weight, five-round capacity of .38 Special +P, and the safety feature of a heavy trigger pull. It's presented as a dependable alternative to a semi-automatic for daily carry, especially when the primary firearm is out for maintenance.
This video provides an in-depth review of the Cobray Ladies Home Companion, a unique 12-round rotary drum pistol chambered in .45 Colt and .410 shotshells. The presenter, Scott from Kentucky Ballistics, highlights its unusual design, comparing it to the Street Sweeper shotgun, and demonstrates its operation with both ammunition types. While acknowledging its novelty and potential as a range toy, the review concludes that its significant weight, extremely heavy trigger pull, and questionable ergonomics make it impractical for its intended 'home companion' role.
The Hi-Point JHP 45 is presented as a reliable and affordable option for emergency or home defense situations. While its long, heavy trigger pull requires deliberate action, it contributes to safety by preventing accidental discharges. The pistol's blowback design and fixed barrel are noted for their reliability and potential for accuracy, with the reviewer suggesting that shooter error, rather than the firearm, might be the cause of accuracy issues. Ergonomically, the large grip is comfortable for larger hands, though the safety lever can cause discomfort.
This review of the Smith & Wesson Sigma in .40 S&W highlights its position as an affordable, reliable, high-capacity handgun. While praised for its dependability and low price point, the review identifies a significant con in its heavy 9lb trigger pull, attributed to potential law enforcement safety requests. The proprietary rail system is also noted as a drawback, requiring an adapter for modern accessories. The Sigma is presented as a solid, dependable option for budget-conscious buyers not seeking competition-level performance.
