Looking at maple grips for my 686+ from Ahrends. They're a light blondish/white color I find appealing. Do they look pretty good in person? Hard to tell from pictures. As kind of an aside are the round butt finger groove tacticals a good replacement for the stock grips? I find the stockers...

Well i finally got a hold of customer service only to be informed the order had shipped and since it was ammunition I cant return it. So I've got $50 in rounds that I have no use for. Go Midway.

Hey I didnt know what forum to put this in. I placed an order on Midway USA last night and realized I goobered something. Sent them an email and didnt hear back, called customer service and the 800 numbers been busy all day. Not trash talking midway or anything, love those guys, just...

Hey thanks guys. My brother an I got him a tarus judge for Christmas, so we should have a pretty interesting range day.

Hey thanks for all the feedback guys. Just got back from dinner and handled the 686 some more and I'm really loving it. Seems like a really solid pistol and much easier to hold/handle when compared to my Redhawk (never really realized what a club that thing is). I've been reading around and...

The 6" bbl balances/points well for me. I actually thought it was a 4" at first because Im so used to the long barrel on my redhawk (7 and change i believe). Recently Ive been reading about these underbarrel Rhino revolvers...you think a standard orientation like the 686 is giving anything...

Heh, thought the title was .357 and beer. Was going to recommend Dales Pale in the cans.

Got a hell of a Christmas present today... Months ago I was talking to my father over a few beers and he asked me what I wanted for the holidays. I couldn't think of anything right off, then said an el cheapo used revolver to mess with on the range. Totally forgot about this... ...so he...

Looking for a good/fun range pistol or revolver. Should be as accurate as is reasonable, not heavy/cumbersome, good grip, single stack if auto and easy to strip/clean without tools if auto. Looking at the Walther PPS and perhaps considering the Kahr T9. Currently have a Beretta 92 and a Smith...

Thats the idea! I have a marlin 1894 in .44 and this redhawk is going to be the companion gun. Gonna load up some real light target loads with 200 grain copper coat and some clays powder we have laying around from trap shooting. Hopefully gonna try to find a load that both guns throw...

Hey the gun cycles just fine, no drag or anything like that. I'll have to look for pictures of the crane online so I know what to look for.

Hey my father has had a Ruger redhawk since 1982. Awesome gun, and hasnt been shot very much. He just passed it down to me, which Im thrilled about. However in doing research I realized that spinning/snap closing the cylinder is very bad for the gun. When my brother and I were younger we...

Never loaded the .44 before, nor used clays in anything other than a shotgun and have questions about a specific load for a Marlin 1894: The bullet I'm using is Rainier .429 200gr FP plated, which the company says to treat as lead as far as data goes. The only data I can find for clays in...

Have a question about a specific load: The bullet I'm using is Rainier .429 200gr FP plated, which the company says to treat as lead as far as data goes. The only data I can find for clays is for a 200 gr LRNFP CAST in .430 diameter, with an OAL listed as 1.570" with a starting load at 4.2 and...

I have a ton of Clays powder from trap shooting. I'm trying to work up a soft shooting target load for my Marlin 1894 lever gun with 200 grain Hornady XTP bullets. The Hodgdon website says for that bullet start at 4.2 and work up to about 6.0, maybe slightly north of that. Anybody have any...
