    Intervening in a 4 on 1 attack

    The situation you describe might meet the criteria ( to prevent death or grave bodily harm for the victim of a four on one attack ) for a legal use of deadly force. However, shooting a bunch of 'girls' would tend to look bad in the press, or, to any deputy DA who prefers to curry favor with...

    How long does it take for corrosion to set in

    Hi Rogue Coder, You mentioned using 'Solvent' to clean your Revolver after shooting Black Powder? Solvent is not an appropriate way to clean Black Powder residu...( even it is may be appropriate for some kinds of Smokeless Powder residu ). Hot Soapy Water is what one would use for...

    I know your not supposed to but does anyone handload their carry ammo.

    Reviewing all of this after having posted above, I can see the logic in pre-emptively avoiding elements which an average Jury would not understand or which an average Jury could be led to feel is somehow unusual or suspicious or 'worse' than factory Ammunition as far as it's Humane-ness, were a...

    I know your not supposed to but does anyone handload their carry ammo.

    Dunno if this has been said already...but... If you carry a Cap & Ball, you really do not have any other choice ( than to be carrying it loaded with 'Hand Loads' ). Also, far as conventional metallic Cartridge Hand Guns - how would anyone suspect or even know if one did ( carry 'Hand...

    Getting flaking Nickle removed - any recommends?

    Thanks you guys! This will not be a Carry Piece, but, just something to take out and have a little fun with once in a while, so, if it is 'In the White', that is fine, I already have a few that way, and never any problems...I just keep 'em Oiled up well, same as any other, and they get...

    Getting flaking Nickle removed - any recommends?

    I recently got an old Revolver which has badly flaking Nickle plating. The Steel underneath is fine, no rust pits overall smooth and nice. I would like to just get the Nickle Plating removed, and have it in plain steel. Can anyone recommend where to send it? Who does that kind of Work...

    Controversy coming up..

    "Remington style Pistol with 160-odd Grain Ball and 40 Grains" of good BP, will be going a lot faster than that 'gold dot'...probably into the 1300s of FPS. This is Ballistically well into .357 Magnum Territory. I do not believe this is being taken into account in the off the cuff...

    443 ft-lbs for a brass rem58 8" barrel. Am I crazy?

    I was shooting 230 Grain flat face Wadcutters in my New Model Remington Cap & Ball, over all the Goex I would compress under the Bullets...Swiss of course, would be better. The 230 Grain DEWC over heavily compressed Swiss would be a dandy SD round I think. I would not expect a 'Brass...

    Anyone else feel a deminished interest in cartridge guns?

    Of course any Cartridge Gun, if taking Center Fire Cartridges...can BE a Black Powder Cartridge Gun, if one wants, and, many were..! Lol... I like tham all about the same amount, each in their different way. But, all in all, Black Powder, whether Muzzle Loaded or in a Cartridge...

    I took some high speed footage of a Autoloader firing underwater

    I imagine early Gasses by-passing the Bullet would be acting against the Water in the Barrel, ahead of the Bullet, to where, the Bullet itself might not even be touching Water untill some ways out past the Muzzle...

    Thanks possum..! If I remember to, I will come back and post a Range Report about the Ammo. It will be shot through a mid 1940s "STAR" Model B, a late 1940s Belgium Browning High Power, and, a mid 1940s 'Astra 600'. So...definitely fun!

    Anyone else finding it just too ridiculously hot?

    Humidity here in Las Vegas is usually more like 4 to 5 percent ( not 13 ). Lots of people who visit here get Nose Bleeds really fast. Here in Town lately, been quite a few 114 + days. Out at the Range which is well past the far West edge of Town, temps are likely in the 120s. I...

    Who makes 9mm Ammunition with Lead Bullets?

    Thanks everyone! I will give 'Mastercast' a call in the morning. Had to pack up all my re-Loading stuff before I was able to get any 9 mm done, so this will be nice to have to keep me plinking for a while.

    Who makes 9mm Ammunition with Lead Bullets?

    Does anyone know of any Factory offerings, or, good reputation 're-manufactured' Ammunition for 9 mm ( P-'08 ), which has Lead Bullets? 'Arizona Cartridge Company' used to offer them, but it looks like they are not in Business anymore. Anyway, wanting to be shooting some of my old 9 mm...

    .41 Mag Association

    Count me in! I only have one .41 Magnum Revolver, an S-Prefix S & W Model 58 which is close to brand new condition. Tried it a few times out at the Range, and feel very comfortable with it. I did find that Ear Protectors were more important with this Cartridge than the low pressure...

    CZ 24 .380 ( or 9 mm Kurtz ) - any good?

    The CZ 24 .380 ACP These seem to be such a charming shape and size, a true Pocket Pistol. Are they well thought of? Reliable? Troube free? Picky about Ammo? Any User Evaluations to share? Thanks! Oye
