In this episode, we dive into the wild and underestimated history behind the Interarms Virginian Dragoon.

What starts as a simple look at a single-action revolver quickly turns into a journey through CIA front companies, Swiss engineering, American manufacturing, and one of the most overlooked wheelguns of the 20th century.

From Sam Cummings’ shadowy beginnings to Interarms’ rise as the largest privately owned arms dealer in the world, we trace how the Virginian Dragoon came to be — and why it might be one of the most underrated big-frame revolvers ever made.

Tune in, grab your favorite wheelgun, and let’s get into it.

In this episode of The Shooter’s Apprentice Podcast, Daniel sits down to dive deep into one of the coolest wheelguns Ruger ever produced — the GP100 chambered in .44 Special. Whether you’re a revolver nerd, a handloader, or just a fan of classic big-bore cartridges, this episode delivers a breakdown of why the .44 Special is still a awesome all around cartridge.

We also get into one of Daniel’s favorite parts of the shooting life: casting bullets and reloading. You’ll hear firsthand experiences with molds, alloy selection, powder choices, load development, and what actually performs in the 44 special. Whether you’re new to bullet casting or a longtime reloader, this segment lays out the real-world process, the mistakes, the victories, and the satisfaction of rolling your own perfect .44 Special loads.

From mild cowboy-level plinkers to warm defensive loads, we break down how versatile the .44 Special can be and why it’s still beloved by shooters who appreciate its accuracy, controllability, and character.

If you love revolvers… if you love the smell of hot brass and cast lead… or if you’re just curious why so many shooters are rediscovering the .44 Special, you’re in the right place.

Tune in, grab your favorite wheelgun, and let’s get into it.

What's going on everybody, welcome back to The Shooters Apprentice Podcast. This week we are talking about buying cheap used guns and talking about 3 guns that I have picked up recently that each cost $300. If you enjoy collecting firearms on a budget you will want to hear this one!

On this episode we touch on the three purchases I made featuring a Rossi 44 magnum pistol, a Kimber 338 Win Mag rifle and a Colt 1917 project chambered for 357 Magnum.
