Yes, I read the sticky; however, he only mentions that too much wiggle is undesirable. What consitutes "too much"? He mentions the hard numbers for gaps, but not play. Are there any? Certainly manufacturers must have a standard.

Okay, that's the gap I should look for, correct? What about the endshake measurements? Thanks

Here's a question for all the mechanical gurus out there. I am looking into getting a single action revolver (would be my first, not sure what brand). I have feeler gauges but want to know what an acceptable range for endshake is, so I can check this before I buy (which probably won't be for a...

Your 13 year old son will be just fine with it. It's all about technique, not brute strength.

If your grip changes as you shoot your groups will never be as consistent as they could be.

I bought a fairly inexpensive reloading setup for myself (~$100) and LOVE IT. My break even point was a little under 1,000 rounds. I went from $23.99 per box of 50 to $12.54 per 50. At the rate I shoot I already paid for it in under one year. Loading good ammunition doesn't cost a fortune. More...

Could you be riding the recoil? You normally use the Weaver stance? I usually find the Isosceles stance to be more consistent from day-to-day. The recoil also tends to destabilize my stance when the weapon is away from my body's centerline. How are you holding the weapon? You may be used to...

I'm a fan of .357 just because I find the cartridge more versatile than the .44 for my needs.

If you're getting a very unique signature I would go to a gunsmith and ask. I would bet he will recommend removing and stripping the wood, getting the signature with some type of ink or paint, and refinishing. I would worry about recoating the wood over the signature. Depending on the finish...

I am seriously contemplating betting one of these to go with my three .357 magnum revolvers. I have read quite a few favorable reviews but would like some opinions. Has anybody shot one of these? I looked at one today and was impressed with the smooth action cycling. Thanks, WheelgunZealot

I don't know, but the more I look at it the more I want it!! :banghead: Would you mind listing your modifications for the less experienced (me)?

I think the guy just wants to go home after his shift.

That's beautiful!! Did you do the work yourself or have it done?

Many here have it right. The .22 is a potentially lethal cartridge but has minimal shock effect. This means the attacker will be fully able to continue to attack after shot with a .22 until they either bleed to death or hemorrhage. The .22 is less humane because it will take more shots to put...

I don't mean to ask a stupid question here, but what good is a weapon if you can't load it??
