Well, once again, I was very fortunate to be asked to review a high-end firearm. This time around it was a custom-built revolver made by the German company, Janz.

My newest review, this one of the Turnbull Government Heritage Model 1911 just appeared. It can be accessed here!

The men from the French counterterrorist unit, Groupe d’Intervention de la Gendarmerie nationale (a.k.a. GIGN), raced toward the hijacked Air France flight 8969.

What is not reflected in these accurate, but one-dimensional, facts is the superb craftsmanship evident in the details of this double rifle.

Yep, a deliberate and somewhat inaccurate (photos are actually top-to-bottom...) play on words, but also reflective of the cool illustrations shown below.

When I opened the box containing the 1892 Takedown at my local gun shop, this is what I saw: bone charcoal case hardening coloration on receiver, lever, hammer, butt plate and forend cap that is the ‘tell’ indicating time spent in the Turnbull workshop.

I'll be writing a full review on this lovely work of art, but I wanted to provide a preview. This is one of the most beautiful firearms, and far-and-away the most beautiful shotgun, I've ever been given the opportunity to work with.
