    Mod 37 picky

    Thanks in advance. Bought early 60's S&W airweight. trying different ammo. Trying to stay non +P. I have found that only certain rounds will fully seat in the cylinder. My hand loads and S&B 158 do not seat and cylinder will not swing closed. Very odd. Both drop right in the Taurus 85. What...

    Taurus failure

    Hello all, I bought a Taurus 85 ultra weight a couple of months ago as a primary carry gun. At about the same time I started reloading. NOTHING heavy at all. During last month twice the revolver froze up at the range. I thought the problem was my reloads. I tapped the currently "up" round with...

    another newbee on the block

    I had bought 500 rounds of 38spl reloaded from Georga Arms partially to give new a large batch of brass to start reloading. It was quite a mix of brass. Questions are (first in what I assume will be a long line): How much does it matter in handgun brass to keep in batches. I seperated into 5...

    Ruger LCP

    Broke down and bought a pocket gun. Took to the range the other day for first trail. No FTF or jams. Very accurate for tiny little thing. I have had it in my pocket all day for 5 days, you forget its there. Only problem I had at range was magazine dropping. Not out, but down and not picking up...

    Hi Power failure to feed

    Thanks to all. Took buffers out and left 18.5lb springs. So far so good. If continues to work well, I will put back buffers and replace springs at stock 17lb. I JUST finished putting in a C&S paddle safety. With instructions from Brownells and Mr.Camps stripping intructions it was piece of cake...

    Hi Power failure to feed

    Just finished a personal protection course. I fired 400-500 rounds in 3 days. Both of my Hi Powers had feed problems I changed around the belgium and Argentine. I switched out the 17-18lb springs. Could the buffers be limiting the slide travel (question mark) I had set up both w/the 18lb spring...

    Ruger or Browning?

    I sold my ruger, Nothing against it execept as you note, PITA to strip. Though I would just use my Woodsman. Bought a Browning on a whim. The Browning taught me what a trigger could feel like. I have rested my Woodsman since. I suppose after 60 years it deserves it. The Colt is still the most...

    Hi Power ID Help

    Origin Jonnyc, The broker ( on auction arms) believed so. When I emailed back to them, they simply said that they were told that. Personally, I don't think it is Argentine. There is no mention of Browning anywhere on the gun. Seems to have some MkIII characteristics, but not all. Another...
