    S&W model 35-1 J frame, finally !

    Thanks for reminding me of another stupid move I made as a young man. ;-). Had a beautiful 4” specimen and parted ways with it for whatever reason. Along with the 6” Model 14 K38 masterpiece. What an idiot I was…..

    10mm opinions??

    I got my P220 Hunter before the Legion was available in 10mm. Great gun and more accurate than I’m capable of.

    Rimfire suppressor advice needed

    I’ve got a SiCo Sparrow that works well. It stays on my Ruger American .22. I also have a Griffin Optimus Micro that i use on my AR’s…it’s versatile, .22LR to 22-250 if you have thoughts on using it elsewhere.

    Best Single Stage Press for Rifle?

    I don’t know about best, but I’ve had the RCBS Rockchucker on the left since about 1980. It has always served me well and still serves as my primary press for resizing. I would not hesitate to buy another.

    45acp reloads not extracting

    I use a Wilson case gage to check finished rounds. If it doesn't fall in and out of the gage freely I add more taper crimp. Works perfectly for me.

    Does anybody here have any firearms they've never shot?

    I don’t own any I won’t shoot, but for various reasons I have several I haven’t shot. I no longer sell guns. I figure what I own sitting in my safe are better than money in the bank. If I live long enough, every one that I own will be shot, if not hopefully my heirs will enjoy them.

    The Better Gun: Colt Python or S&W 686?

    I own several Pythons, acquired over the past 35 years. Anacondas and Diamondbacks as well. Mostly investment guns, but I’m not afraid to shoot them. I’ve got a 4” Python that I had worked over by Mag-na-port 30+ years ago that is my #1 go to 357. I’ve shot it a ton over those years with no...

    Model 66 no dash

    Mag-na-port offers a “velvet hone” finish for stainless guns which I believe is a fine glass bead blasted finish. I’ve had them do one for me and it’s beautiful. I’ve successfully recreated the look of that finish on my own by glass bead blasting. I’ve found that by increasing the coarseness...

    Progressive press here we go

    Dillon 650 here. Good solid machine. I find it pretty easy to deal with once you become familiar with the operation.

    CMMG Banshee in 10mm- opinions?

    I’ve had a 10mm Banshee for about a year. Excellent well-made firearm. It’s been 100% reliable. Highly recommended.

    "I regret selling that one..."

    S&W Model 14 K38 masterpiece. First handgun for me. Late 1970’s vintage. Thought I needed a magnum. Same era Colt Gold Cup. 1st semi-auto pistol for me. Had reliability issues. In hindsight, probably a magazine issue. Live and learn.

    Sig P938 VS Kimber Micro 9

    I have the Micro CDP. Great gun...accurate, easy to carry, 100% reliable. Can't ask for anymore. No experience with the SIG but undoubtedly a nice gun.

    GPS Maps

    After trying several apps and stand alone GPS's, my favorite by far is Motion-X GPS app for iPhone. I have an iPhone 6 Plus, so the big screen is definitely a nice feature. I think the app is very intuitive, and feature filled. As far as accuracy goes, assuming you let it locate a sufficient...

    What scope would be best for a lever action 44mag ?

    I like the Leupold FX series of fixed power scopes. I recently put one on my Henry 44 mag. To me, they have a nice traditional look, and are relative compact and light weight. The optics are typical Leupold...nice and clear.
