Yes, I carry reloads. I know their POI, recoil generated, and my recovery time between shots. As for QC, I have never seated a bullet upside down, but have bought factory ammo with that occurring. I have never seated a primer upside down, but have bought factory ammo with that situation...

I'm 61. While I own more semi-autos than revolvers, I shoot the revolvers a disproportionately amount.

No. I refuse to pay more for 22 lr than I can reload center fire cartridges for. If the time comes that components are unavailable at reasonable price, I'll stop reloading. I've been wanting a RWS Model 48 for a long time. I have enough center fire components to have more than a few boxes of...

Hi Standard Victor

61 CA 44 Bulldog

I bought a buffer to put on the rifle partially covering the ejection port. It did not interfere with the operation of the rifle, and my brass stayed within 10 feet of me.

The horror stories get worse on some venues, like eBay. I was the high bidder on three items, and paid by PayPal. Seller refused to ship the the item, them relisted it. Oh, and he left me unpaid bidder strikes on all three items. I was beyond POed. This guy was no Mensa candidate. PayPal...

"It will cost you first born child and it will have a 12 pound trigger pull like my buddy's HK91 ." My HK91 cost me $400.00 at a pawn shop (many years ago), and yes it is an H&K, not some wannabee. The trigger pull is no where near 12 lbs. , and it will function will any dimensionally correct...

Since you specified HD, I go with the 686. If it was for CC, I'd go with the 1911.

"Like a lot of other Texans (well an ex-Texan) I'm too old to fight, so I carry. 'Nuff said." That sounds like when I went to a bar with a buddy and his much younger brother. My buddy told him, "Don't mess with the older guys, they will cap your ***."

These are the ones on my "first decent deal comes home with me". Diamondback 6" 22 Colt Officer's Model SS AMT 10mm Magnum Colt New Service .45 LC Mauser HSC 380

If stainless is an option, it is always my first choice.

I've never owned a PPK, but have owned a HSC (and loved it). The 380 does have a bit of snappy recoil, and is not a versatile gun. On the plus side, my 380 was very accurate, and absolutely reliable. OTOH, the 357 revolver is the epitome of versatility. 38 special wadcutters in a 357 is the...
