Gun Parts Corp might have some parts too. Was it just the liner that was damaged or the shroud a well?

Regarding the SWC, I think Elmer Keith was years ahead of his time with that bullet design. I'm suprised some of the larger ammo manufacturers havent come out with an 45 ACP H&G 68 factory load, making 185 PF, with heavy taper crimp. It'll feed in most (taper crimp is key) 1911's and do it...

The difference is that a mazazine-well opening was never cut into the benchrest-optimized action. This reduces the amount of flex in the action when fired.

I picked up a 77 in .458 a few years ago for a price I couldnt pass up. 405 gn lead bullets at 2000 fps make a lead splash like a paintball on a rock. And nearly zero recoil at those levels. The stock open sights are kinda cheesy, but Brownells sellls different inserts for the front, buuut I'm...

In my previous business I sent deliveries there. Very secure. So secure that they didnt like how my truck placarded, so they sent an employee out thru the gate on a forklift, received the item, and went back inside. I had a good natured 'argument' with the receiving folks via the cell and that...

I was at the Cow Palace gunshow about 15 years ago, and my friend Rob was ahead of me, talking to me as we walked down the aisles. He turned to say something and ran headlong into the "AntiBashing" crews that used to patrol (identifiable by the huge pink triangle on their backs) the City to...

Dont be jerkey... I've had this same question lots of times out here on the left coast. You would be suprised how many times the person who you considered an "anti" from the questions they asked will catch you later, away from their friends and say "Say, uh, next time you go shooting, could...

Does anyone have any documented injuries from ported guns being fired in a protected position? You hear this advice all the time, and I've fired comp guns from the classic Cooper "Speed Rock" position...no injuries.

I missed a chance at .458 tropical #1 and and I want one. A friend of mine had a video of him shooting a 9" steel plate with his and the plate flew.

Sooo- If SF's crime rate is only slightly higher than Houstons's... compare-contrast anyone?

There was/is also the "Murabito" thumb safety for K-frame S&W's, as well as the Magna Trigger conversions for K-frame S&W's and Ruger Security Sixes. Slower to flick a safety off? You might tell that to those IPSC guys....

The Felony Murder Rule. If you're committing a felony and a death occurs in the course of that eventy, you can be charged with murder. No brandished weapon, no drawn guns from the responding cops, no accidental shooting of a fellow officer.

When he starts screaming flip the phone off the hook and dial 911. Dont pick it up- let the dispatchers imagination run for a while (apologies to any and all dispathcers out there)

McGunner- the hot setup with Security Sixes from that era was to roundbutt them to Speed-Six grip frame countours, and use Pachmayer Compac grips. It made the gun ride a lot lower in your hand and the 1/8" or so of rubber over the backstrap helped with recoil. It also reduced the size of the...

First Church of Appliantology...somebody is a Zappa fan.
