    Will the ACLU Change Their Policy?

    Their web site explains they believe it is a collective right and not an individual one, based on Supreme Court Decisions. http://www.aclu.org/police/gen/14523res20020304.html I wonder if in the interest of fairness, they will now support 2nd Amendment cases? I would have asked...

    Moderate .357 Loads with Lil Gun ?

    This powder seems to be popular when used as a compressed load pushing heavy bullets, where it does the job with lower pressures than lots of other powders. I was wondering if anyone had any experience using it in reduced loads (not all the powder the case could hold) or with lighter bullets?

    Wear Caused By .357 Loads in Model 19

    I just started loading .357 for a 6" Model 19. I've read that hot 125 grain loads cause forcing cone erosion and flame cutting. I've also read that 158 grain loads are gentler on the gun. I'm trying to reconcile these ideas. Are hot 125 loads bad because there is lots of hot gas escaping...

    S&W M&P Grips vs K-Frame Grips

    I inheirited an old M&P .38 from 1930 or so and I have been looking for some large, but older style grips. I had assumed that these took normal K-Frame grips, but I found a set of old Mustang's and they really don't fit (seems like the arch is different on the backstrap among other things)...

    Help me ID Old S&W M&P

    I inheirited a 5" S&W .38 Special revolver awhile back. I had been told that it was a "target pistol" although I see nothing to indicate that (except that the gap in the fixed "rear sight" is just a few mm wide). The serial number is 519xx on the frame and crane. The serial number is...
