I will, she has other interests right now. Married in October, became pregnant in Feb. Our first grandchild. I have a very nice S&W model 10 that is a good shooter I've always liked. Maybe its for her.

I asked my two sons which of my pistols they would like to have. The youngest one wanted the Kimber 1911. The older one wanted the S&W Model 19. I gave them away for their birthdays this year. They are going to get them someday anyway. I liked both of them, especially the revolver. I...

May I have the MB code as well? Thank you.

MN river rat; I hear you, the only thing that can't be undone is one of the shelves was turned into the floor board for the butts to rest on. everything else can be reversed easily. Another piece of my mothers furniture was a kitchen hutch, similar to a Hoosier hutch that I turned into my...

Yes, 800X is pretty hard to get consistent. I've pretty much given up on it. Nice gift, hope it works well for you.

Security is an issue. Its an old cabinet, if somebody wants in, they'll get in. I'm going to cable all the guns into the cabinet. On the other side of security, I have three big dogs that roam the house freely. All three have deep barks that make you think twice.

Same as above, 4.0gr 700x works well in 9mm for me. I don't load 40 cal so I can't say but I'd refer you to hodgdons site. The one rcmodel pasted in for a reference on both calibers.

Here is mine. Nice little revolver.

This is a S&W Model 10 38 Spcl I picked up last week along with another pic of the Model 19 357Mag I got this week. Not a bad 10 day run for the revolvers.

Latest pawn shop find, Smith and Wesson 19-5 in really good shape.

imr 4350, 4831 and rl 17, 19 have worked well for me in the past. I'd start with imr4350 with book specs and go from there.

Two guns on my 'won't ever sell' list. They'll be passed on to my boys. Ya there are 'better' 357 mags out there but I'll take these any day.

Okay, I'll play. Here are mine.
