In cooler weather I like S&W M&P compackin the heat my M&P Shield works well with 200 gr semi-wadcutters at 800fps in both.

I love mine. I shoot ACP mostly but when I need a snake gun the long colt cylinder goes in. I loaded 250 rds of snake shot in 45 LC 10 or 11 years ago still have most of it.

I have a well used Armalite AR-7. Which I got new in 1971. With better ammo I never had any FTF or FTE . THe new Henry mags can be fitted to use. It is my boat gun and Grandkids like it.The only 22 cal rifle I have that is not a . Shoots well for what it is.

Too heavy,too much fun. Everyone of my shooting buddies love it. Three of them got one. When Ruger brings out the 45acp version I well get one ,hope it uses S&W M&P mags.

While researching my new Barkeep project I came across Heritage Big Bores. Does anyone have any history with any in 45LC or 357 Mag?

Nice set up. My son-in-law and were talking about just that sort of project this morning, parts are cheap. These little guns are just fun.

My best shooting 38/357 is model 27 with a 5" barrel. Any 110 to 160 grain projectail shoots well, so cutting a retrim may be the right call.

My 22lr gets used the most, followed by a 357 mag. The 25-35 sounds like something need to try. Oh bother

I liked my American P210 so much I got a Used Swiss GI M-49. The USA model shoots better and is a bit easier to use. The Swiss feels better and I like having mil issued guns. The M-49 is the Swiss Army style of P210. Covid money paid for mine.

My 1st 1911 a WWII Remington from DCM in 1965 has had about 1200 rds each year since. One barrel and many recoil springs later it still shoots well. I love this old beater. I have no idea how many rds GI's put down range ,it was welled used when I got it. So think 66,000rds from me and the...

Back in 1960 or so, my dad was teaching me how to safely shoot. We were on the Ft. Dix rec range ,a man few yards down was firing a Webley .45(very common gun). On his 2nd cylinder ,the gun went full auto. Two rounds downrange and 2 rounds in the range roof and 2 rounds still in the gun. No one...

I am like Papa G buying used Rugers (SA, #1 and #3 mostly) at pawn shops and gun shows. Ruger CS has been outstanding for the last 25 years I have used. When I try other companies they are close for a few companies to down right awful. Dealing with Rossi and Taruis has been the worst.

My Ruger American in 22 mag is my best 100 yard pest shooter. I put a leopold 3X9 ,a $500 scope on $250 rifle but I am happy with the combo.

Many of the 7.35's were sent to Finland in 1943-44.They were stamped SA on bolt or barrel depending on the inspector.

I have fired nato and +P ammo in my Star BM. The fired cases looked good on both. The +P hurled cases far and wide. White box ammo works well in my gun,so no reason to push these gun to the limit. Your mileage may vary.
