I use the Walmart high temp moly grease and have had no problems. I also use WD-40, but not as a lubricant. It's more of a solvent and I use it to clean anything made of metal. For oil, I've been using 5W-20 full synthetic motor oil and had no troubles. I'd love to give you all a...

Bullet lube? A good point point that I had not considered. I only shot six rounds of the 777 handload, two groups since it was pouring rain and I have so little ammo available, so my 777 handload test is a work in progress. I have an H&R 58 cal muzzleloader which I must remove the...

Based upon one outing, my newly acquired Browing 1885 shoots 300 grain Federal factory loads listed at 1850 fps to point of aim at 50 yards. Given that 45-70 ammo is expensive in general, along with the current shortage of both factory ammunition and reloading components, I had to venture far...

If you go Ruger Blackhawk convertible, you won't need the moon clips. The ruger cylinder is cut to headspace the 45 rounds by their shoulder just like your autoloader. An added bonus is that the Ruger will come with a 45 Long Colt cylinder... actually it's the other way around... the 45...

Yes... they add $10 to the sticker price of any gun for the background check here in Oregon. Often, if you're buying a gun in lesser demand, they'll negotiate on both the sale price and the background check. With the LCR... no dice... they stuck to their guns... so to speak... Used...

Or is it just mine? Mine is a 2004 manufacture that I purchased used last spring. It appears to have seen light use... the lockup is tight so I'd expect good accuracy. I can't shoot 357's at the local range... so I'm going from memory... shooting 357's out in the woods shortly after...

Everybody is correct... Unlike almost everything in life, the Ruger 45LC/ACP Convertible Blackhawk is no compromise. Mine fires both cartridges accurately. I shot a few boxes of factory 45 LC to accumulate cases... then I got to handloading the 45 Colt. Using 200 gr round nose flat...

Thanks for the CLP tip... turns out I've got a can sitting right in front of me.

I've been carrying a 642 for about a year. I bought an LCR day before yesterday. I've put hundreds of rounds through the Smith... so far just 15 through the LCR. My observations... The 642 is a far more attractive pistol to my eye. The fit and finish of the Smith is better and the...

Obviously some are hung up on the +p+ designation. They probably shouldn't use any. If your guns are old, or tiny or weak... do we need to tell you not to shoot +p+? I wouldn't put this stuff in my Kel Tec... Duh... The +p+ 9mm, as mentioned in numerous posts in this thread, can be...

The Coach Gun is certainly a valid choice as a self defense gun. 00 buckshot is absolutely devestating at close range and the Coach Gun is specifically designed to deliver it. I agree that there are other choices that are more versatile... I've got a Mossberg 500 loaded with 7+1 alongside...

I like my P-11. It currently resides in my computer bag and goes just about everywhere with me as a deep backup. With spare mag it's 24+1 of Winchester PDX1 +p. It was my first carry weapon... I never really had any problems out of the box, it was crude, but effective... so I got on the Kel...

I got it at SGammo Heres a link to the +p+... looks like they've still got plenty left. http://www.sgammo.com/product/winchester/50rd-9mm-winchester-ranger-127gr-p-t-series-ra9ta I bought 4 boxes of the 9mm +p+ and 4 boxes of the 45 acp +p... 400 rounds of high quality carry ammo... I...

I'm not advising anybody to shoot these rounds... wink... I'm just sharing my experience. Bought 4 boxes over the net a couple of weeks ago... got em real cheap for carry ammo... about half of what I normally pay. Took a box out to the gravel pit over the weekend and fired a few through my...

You'll like the 442. It's an outstanding CCW. I've got a 642 in my pocket right now, and a 3" SP 101 sitting on the desk beside me. There were no wrong answers to this question. Revolvers are cool... shoot it like ya stole it... LOL...
