To be honest, these threads never end well. Gets into an arguement of shooting cops vs. police imposters

I finally have a use for my Coast to Coast Master Mag in 12gauge for the house brand event?! :D

The Mosin Bayonet, the only knife on the planet needing forward observers to employ accurately :D Still, pistol bayonet? If it gets to a point where I need a knife on my gun, I am messed up in a fight. But then again, one hand, gun+knife, not two separate things? Meh, I'll keep the rail on...

I know the Blackhawk is the go to gun for hot loads (the original "Ruger" they reference in all my manuals for the hot loads are Blackhawk and Super RedHawk only, and even then with the RedHawk, be careful). Are you sure these can be fired safely out of the Vaquero? I haven't seen those are...

Another bullet that appears occasionally not on backorder are Sierra Powerjackets. In my highly informal testing :D they expand VERY well in denimed environments in 9 and .45. Unfortunately, they also fragment violently if driven quickly. For a low penetration load, I use upper end dose of...

A small store had a VERY young and enthusiastic seller. Upon spying a used Sterling AR180 on the wall, I was fondling it in no time. Great gun, good condition, wanted a bit much for it, but I could have talked them down a little. Until... He then proceeded to give me gibberish as the...

Whoa! A built in trigger guard? That's actually sort of cool!:) Wonder if it will "bite" at all?

+1 on the GI plug and rod. I have yet to see a degradation in accuracy from the "step down" to a GI rod and yet to see a reliability failure due to the conversion.

weisse52, I understand where you are coming from on that. Colt is (or was, whatever someone's viewpoint on it is) a darn fine piece of metal. However, I feel that Colt's quality has dropped. I look at the internals of older (series 70) Colts and they are beautiful. New ones have horrible...

Quiet had to ruin everyone's fun! :D I would think, however, with Glock now having light manufacturing capacity here in the States (they briefly made the compact frames here didn't they?) that a .22 conversion kit from them would sell off the shelves. Yes, they focus on LEO sales, however...

Two words: (and no offense to this) Who Cares? As mentioned earlier, take a look at your "yay America" "American built" cars: FILLED with foriegn labor and parts. Most of the guns out there have outsourced parts or processes. They all are great 1911s. I like my Rock Island, my Springer...

Ben Shepard, I second the 3n37 from Vihtavouri! In slightly milder loads, almost non-existant flash at night (shot at night at a range). When really bumped up trying to get the numbers Viht says it can get, you do get a white (as opposed to yellow or orange) flash, but only with heavy loads...

Been looking for a good load to match to some boolits I ordered today from Rimrock. I got their 158gr SWCHP with a gascheck, the same used by Buffalo Bore to make their +P and non-+P Metro loads. I have Unique, Titegroup, Longshot, Vihtavouri 3N37, a touch (not much) HP38 and a bit of Blue...

Armed Bear: I understand your reasoning. But with a name like BattleChimp, practicality is NOT an option! :D I got a good load from another guy on the Ruger Forum that uses .357 brass, gets it up to 1000 fps from a 4" and very mild. It is a moderator's "tactical" load. Yes I can go up...

Now, I take objection to the .38 loading question! I have been loading for a while now! If you smartycats are so smart, what would the pressure levels on the Keith load be? :neener: :D I kid! My main concern was that the Keiths that I load and fire have a horrendous boom and lots of...

Awesome! Time for some backwoods fun!

3" barrel (for some reason, just didn't care for the 2" SP, the extra inch hides just as well). I have fired my Keith loads in a 2 1/4" 686, the flash wasn't terrible and the unburnt powder wasn't horrible either. The boom was another critter though! :D I was just concerned with the SP...

Excuse my potential ignorance :neener: I have shot many of my .38 12.5gr of 2400 158gr Keith loads in my GP100, but I have just purchased a SP101 for carry. For backwoods carry or similar, can the SP101 handle such a load? I know they are similar if not crazier than .357, but just wanted to...

Tokarev "The Professional" :D Cool gun, gotta give us some info!

Pass. As DasFriek posted, the .460 Rowland conversion is MUCH more fun and a bit easier to work with. The Guncrafters thing seems more like a rich man's toy: Little to No defensive or hunting value (IMHO), hard to get ammo (if not non-existant) and terrible ballistics compared to the .50 AE...
