    Vedder Holsters feedback

    Just got a Vedder holster delivered today. Ordered it for a g23 with a mounted light that had the grip chopped to g27 size. I had been using another holster for a while but I was not happy with the cant adjustment and the clips did not fit well over my belt. I have only tried the Vedder out...

    155 gr bullets for my .30 Carbine Blackhawk

    Interesting project. Would probably result in much more tolerable muzzle blast, which I have heard is significant in the 30 Carbine Blackhawks. What mold are you using?

    Anyone make a strong side shoulder holster?

    I saw a setup like what you describe in a couple european tv shows, racked my brain thinking how you would draw effectively from it before concluding that someone on the set just did it wrong the first day and continued. You might have to do the same.

    Need more insurance than just my renters

    Collectibles Insurance Services provides insurance specifically for firearms collections, I talked with them in the last year and they do not require an inventory or information on specific guns unless a claim is made.

    Casting instructor wanted

    I wouldn't bother with the bottom pour pot. For the first couple years that I was casting I used a Lee 20lb pot without a spout and a cheap steel ladle from walmart that I drilled a hole in. Allows plenty of speed and avoids any fiddling with a spout. I am up in Marinette county, too far to be...

    Savage 1907 .32acp: Blowback or not?

    It is a delayed blowback as others have said but the actual effect of the "delay" mechanism is very slight, the barrel barely rotates.

    Brass annealing question

    I'm also using the salt bath method. If you get into a good rhythm it goes pretty quickly and I did about 500 30-30 cases in one sitting. I got the whole kit from Ballistic Creations in Canada except for the melter.

    Rossi 1892- worth it?

    I don't own one of these but I shot one belonging to a friend recently and was impressed. It was a stainless .480 ruger with I believe a 16" barrel. Surprisingly smooth, very light, wood was nothing special but the finish was otherwise good. It compared well to my older Marlin 357. Only thing I...

    Kel Tec SU16 rifles in 2019

    I have an SU-16C that I love even compared to my ARs. The SU-16 is very light (even with a Red Lion handguard), extremely compact, reliable, and plenty accurate. The one time i shot it for groups at 100yds I got a group about 2-2.5in IIRC. Not what I can get out of my main AR, but the Kel Tec is...

    Underwood ammo .32 ACP Extreme Defender, anybody have some?

    I haven't seen any testing relating to the Underwood ammo, but if I was looking for 32acp ammo with better performance than FMJ I would look at a wide nose flat point bullet such as Buffalo Bore's offerings.

    Handguns of the early 20th century "adventurers"?

    W.D.M. Bell mentioned in his "Wanderings of an Elephant Hunter" bringing a C96 pistol with the stock holster along on his hunts. May not exactly fit your "adventurer" examples as a big game hunter and guide, but it his interesting to read his accounts of using it. Describing an encounter with...

    MagGuts Magazine Extenders

    I tried magguts for my LCP and a P238. Never had even the slightest problem with either, although i hated the LCP itself. For the P238 the magguts all but elimates the "under-gunned" feeling if I am not carrying anything else. It makes it a true pocket gun that can hold 9rds with the extended...

    New (to me) DW Valkyrie CCO 9mm

    Great minds think alike. My 9mm Valkyrie is my main summer carry gun. Glocks take over for the rest of the year but the Valkyrie carries and shoots so well that once summer comes I switch right over.

    GLOCK 19 in 40????

    From what I remember the breechface and the barrel holes for the 19 slide are a different size from the .40 but if you build the frame up you can toss a .40 slide/upper on it and use conversion barrels to shoot 357 or 9. The ejectors are different but I have used a 9mm ejector on a .40 gun and a...

    Speedbeez vs. HKS vs. Five Star vs. Max Fire - 7 Shot speedloaders

    Moon clips would be the way to go IMO if you are willing to have the cylinder cut. Otherwise I use the HKS speedloaders for my 686+ and am pretty satisfied with them. I was not crazy about the one Five Star speedloader I tried with my LCR, too much rattle. Speedbeez are great for range use but...
