    WST starting load for 357Sig?

    I'm loading the 357Sig with AA#9 now, will shoot it tomorrow. I will post a couple notes for other people looking for reload tips on this round. Biggest tip: Barely bell the neck at all to squeeze the bullet in, then find a good taper crimp setting that is not too tight (will loosen the...

    WST starting load for 357Sig?

    Thank you!! Ok, what is another good bulky powder? I have gotten my neck crimp nicely working even on these slippery Montana Gold bullets (Softer plated bullets are WAY easier to crimp in this load. I would like to try a roll crimp but my taper crimp is working great) but I would like a...

    When did Kimbers skyrocket $$$?

    On that note, Wilson has skyrocketed too. But it seems that Bushmaster AR and some other things I have priced have dropped a lot with the economy. What happened that made the economy drop values on most guns but raise values on others?

    When did Kimbers skyrocket $$$?

    I stopped actively buying guns for a while and come back to see Kimbers went way up in price. When did this happen and why? Most gun prices have gotten very soft, while Kimbers went way up.

    How to opperate a semi auto pistol?

    After pointing the gun in a very safe direction, I would grasp on top of the slide with my off hand and put my off-hand THUMB firmly between the slide and hammer, then drop the hammer onto the back of my thumb. My 2 cents.

    WST starting load for 357Sig?

    Hi all, I have a surplus of Winchester Super Target. I want to use it. And I like it. I am loading 125gr 357Sig, copper hollowpoit bullets, probably load them long at 1.2" because they feed fine, to reduce chamber pressure if needed and to give an extra-solid crimp on the neck. Can...

    Cominolli safety for Glocks

    PS- After many years of carrying CCW I have found that the quickest-access easiest way to carry my gun, in business casual dress at work is in a Smart Carry crotch holster. It is amazingly quick to draw. In this cloth holster, I prefer to have an extra external safety. That is one big...

    Cominolli safety for Glocks

    I also just put a Cominolli safety on my carry Glock 32. I love it. I also get tired of other people preaching at me how to carry MY gun. I have been shooting 25 years, been shooting Glocks avidly since 1989, shot competitively, and used my gun in defense. I know what I like and need...

    Need a snappy comeback

    If less guns (or more gun laws) made people safer, then all the places that outlaw guns would become safer.

    For self defence anything wrong with a .38 super

    I have seen a coyote hit with a Corbon 125gr 38 super... Tore a huge exit wound, stunned him instantly and dropped him dead without a step. I would not want to get hit with that.

    What kind of 1911? I am partial to my Kimber CDP fullsize lightweight.
