    new to reloading 45LC

    Amandakay, I have a .45 Colt/.410 barrel for my Contender pistol. Accuracy was terrible with Colt loads... due to the extra long chamber I guess. I hope your BFR revolver will be accurate with .45 slugs but if you do get poor accuracy results don't assume it's the result of poor handloads...

    Help me choose a weapon for my handicapped father in law.

    If your father-in-law is still Mobile.... take him to the biggest gun shop you can find and let him handle as many of them as he wants....even an old disabled guy is likely to enjoy a trip to a gun emporium. A revolver seems like a fine idea... not sure why folks are suggesting a single action...

    Why single action?

    I feel sorta bad for folks who mainly think of hand guns as "personal defense weapons"..... I started out many years ago with bulls eye target shooting... a very genteel and enjoyable sport.

    Is the P7 all it's been cracked up to be?

    How many rounds can you fire before the pistol become hot enough to be unpleasant? I have never seen one in person... love accurate pistols though.... would hate to buy one on line and then discover I was one of the folks that didn't "bond well" with it...

    Recommend revolver for my wife

    My wife loves her smart carry... she started out with a S&W 442 but then "stole my steel frame model 60". I replace mine with a 3" j frame which is even easier to shoot well... she wants a medium sized Smart Carry for that one now...:scrutiny: If your wife does stay with the purse carry plan...

    Are those old 870 Riot police trade in's any good?

    I just bought one of the 3" magnum police trade in from Bud's.... It was missing the magazine spring when I got it... sent them an email and they shipped me the spring... It works fine now.... they rated it at 70 to 80% which was more than a fair description... Mine came with the Speed Feed...
