My EDC is my night stand firearm as well, if it is good enough to protect me and my loved ones during the day, it is good enough to do it at night too.

All I load on my AR15 are 75gr bthp hornady performance and I use RL15. I like it a lot. My ar is a RRA with a 20" heavy barrel. The shot groups were done at 200 yards. Here are a couple of pictures with different loads. When I moved up to 23 grains the group opened up, more than it did at...

My EDC has been the 686+ with a 3" barrel for a few years now. Replaced my full size 1911 I carried for decades.

I still shoot mine at the range. Don't remember the year I bought it maybe 83 or 84.

For the same reason I wore a condom in my teenage years.................PROTECTION! Sorry could not help myself. All seriousness aside, working in a Level One trauma center for years, I have seen the atrocities a human will do to a fellow human, man, woman or child.

This neck sizing vs full length sizing is a never ending argument like , "is 22lr a good self defense round". I will tell you my opinion on this based on 58 years of shooting and over 40 years of reloading and this is my observation. Neck sizing won't make your brass last longer. Eventually...

Though I favor S&W 686 over the colt, I'm sorry you have had a bad time with it. I own the older python and the newer one, both were given to me by my brother and am never glad I had the issues others have had. I've had the newer version for a couple of years and haven't shot simply because...

Thank you !

I have the 686 no dash in a 6" barrel and my EDC is the 686+ with a 3" barrel. Action wise both of them are great in SA and DA, but the no dash takes the prize as I've been shooting it since when they first were produced.

I've never tried them. I have a Pedersoli Sharps that I like to use 405 grainers and the 500+ grainers. At first I bought the Remington 300 gr and Hornady 250 and the rifle did not like it. If anything, factory rounds that shoots good in my Sharps are the Cowboy Choice loads or the Ultramax...

Title says it all. Not familiar with RCBS presses as I own the Forster Press. What are the differences?

Whether you realize it or not you are minimizing variables. As a reloader you know that you may have 3 rifles of the same caliber but not all 3 will shoot the same load the same. I have 5 gallon buckets of range brass and whenever I have time I like to sit down on the patio with a cold one and...

Corrosion X hd for marine products has been my go to for long term storage. They also have one for firearms.

My EDC is a 686 .357. I use a 158 gr bullet. I am a firm believer of heavier bullets. Eventually I will have to reconsider my philosophy on this matter as arthritis plays havoc in my shooting hand during practice. In the meantime I adjust my loads to less powder but keep the heavier 158 gr...

Check your eyesight, might need new prescription. Looks great to me.
