    S&W 686 vs Witness Elite

    2'' or better 25yrd groups out of a Smith 357 is common at least fom a rest. But what can a comp grade semi like the Elite do at 25yrds. I've found them in 9mm,40 and 45 and don't know which caliber would be the most accurate. I was told they were not carry guns just competion.

    410 reloading data

    I need a little help on finding info on the 410 WW paper hulls. All I've found so far is an old Texan manual. It list 1/2 oz with 15 grs of 2400. No mention of wads, brand of cases or primers. It does say reduce 10% for plastic wads. Thanks

    I'm a horrible handgun shooter

    Your not alone.I shoot offhand with irons better than a scope. Red dot for me works as good as irons. Offhand 6moa with irons. 4x scope maybe 2 shots on paper, 16x scope damn near makes me car sick trying to even find the target. Try a 22 mag or 17hmr handgun. They are a whole lot more...

    Homemade pistol legality

    Thank you all. I googled gunsmith forum and found a lot of really good sites on legally building guns. 1st rule no rifle or shotgun frame, 2nd do not build it for resale. Different states have laws on zip guns. Another grey area there. But THR is allways a good place to start the research.

    Homemade pistol legality

    Can you make a handgun from the ground up legally. If so can use a cut down rifle barrel . Boredoom is a bad thing around guns. You either trade off a good one or sporterize the wrong one. Thanks.

    H&R Topper .22 Hornet

    Forearm fit and tension is real important on the Toppers causing them to walk off target as they heat up. H&R will only fit barrels on newer guns SB1 shotgun only, SB2 high power, SB4 10 gauge. Hold off shooting it till you get your problem fixed. The Hornet is rated at 43,000 cup so if you...
