When I'm thinking about a model and can't try it easily. I search a used cheap airsoft, they are close to real one. Don't laugh, it work with my fat hand short fingers.

BobMarvel/AdvantageArms/STI 22 conversion lock after last round. Just bought Range Master 9x19 and 22 conversion.

I discover today the recoilmaster, better to say I used it for the first time. I had previously a Trojan .45 with a full lenght rod and was fully satisfied. At this time I was reluctant to try anything else. Now, I got a Rangemaster 9mm with a "light" recoilmaster. It worked flawlessly this...

I've a Tanfoglio Witness 1911 which suffer from the same problem, a "walking" barrel link pin. I was really sorry first time it happen. Time to time I've to reset-it, I check-it on every cleaning and set it back, when needed, before he protrude. A punch of the right size, a hammer, a good...

I hope an STI rangemaster 9x19 in 3 or 4 weeks (time for certification and paperwork). 2 box of manufactured FMJ for maiden, then steady diet of home cast (Lee 358-105-SWC) planned. I still didn't found a 9mm that I'll kept, tried Ruger P85 (efficient, not enough accurate) and Browning HP...

For those who are interested (if they don't already knows) there is a huge topic about paper carridge. My own touch is using .45 auto brass as hull while manufacturing and transportation (not a kind of retro-conversion) I only fold the paper bottom and glue with saliva, so it's quite fragile...

I just received my new remmie. I'm glad with my "classical" 1858 Army, but 8" is way long. 3" or less snubnose are fun, but I always feel good with 5", they look well, are well balanced, being an old Colt S.A or a modern S&W 625. (I'm only a paper puncher) Last week, I found an advise...

I use some tricks for dry firing practice. . With wheelgun a piece of rubber, here with my 36 navy: For the remmy, same trick, the difficulty is to get the right thickness. For pistol it's easier: a rubber washer, works even with my smallest pistol:

Try to find a Lyman 450229, they were made for what you want. Wheight was quite conservative, slighty heavier than round ball (near 145gn), wide driving band for acuracy, hollow base to accomodate chamber and bore dimensioning and SWC to cut a cylinder thru the target.

me too, just one ... for the moment.

Yep, the grips look like briard, really nice and uncommon. But they need a little work as they aren't flush with frame. I'll try an old trick, I need a cutting tool, harder than wood that won't hurt brass, so a glass splinter is supposed to work well. Tommy, I bought the gun in a town most...

last, before the next one ! At first, I wasn't found about colt and the V notch in the hammer. So I began with a stainless 58 Army. Shoot well, easy to clean, easy to load with paper cartridge, quite accurate, well a good handgun and ... no more. Later, new idea grown slowly in my...

Don't twist the bottom end but fold-it. The "centered" twisted paper is just in front/inside the nipples, that mean at least 1/8" of compressed paper that is able (easily) to stop the primer ignition. Even with cigarette paper. With folded end, you got 4 or 6 thickness of paper, easily pierced...

Kroil have a huge reputation of creeping hability.

Articap is right (I think). I've slugged a 45 cal derringer from Ardesa, caliper said something like .452 .454 Your 450 REAL will fit, easily even pure lead, I'm not sure. Don't forget grease, hand lubbing will do the trick at a low cost, pan lubbing would be a step better. I always think...
