• Possible Downtime Alert

    I am working to migrate THR from the current cluster to a new one. I would like to get this done before the weekend, but it's unclear what the timeframe will be, as testing is still ongoing. As I am writing this the new (rebuilt) host is doing a burn-in to ensure that everything will keep running under load.

    When the migration happens users will see a Cloudflare message indicatating it cannot connect to the server. This is expected, and depending on how the migration goes this may last from 30 minutes to 3 hours - I won't know more until testing the various migration options is complete and I have finalized the plan.

    More information is available in this thread.

    As always, thanks so much for your patience.

    9 mm JHP's

    147gr. 9mm OAL

    I don't usually load my 9mm with 147gr FMJ/JHP but I got a some ZERO 147gr JHP and want to try them over Hodgdon Titegroup. Looking at the Lyman 49th Edition data manual it shows the OAL for 147gr FMJ to be 1.115". I don't think I can get even the shorter 147gr JHP bullet that deep to...

    Consistancy of Bullet OAL & Round OAL

    When reloading 9mm pistol rounds how consistent or inconsistent can I expect the OAL to be from round to round? I sort my brass by headstamp hoping that will offer more consistency. I dug up a box of factory loads, Remington green & white box 9mm Luger that I bought from Walmart in 2006. Its...

    Crack on Breech Face

    Round count is low. Yes, the crack happened twice on 2 different slides. I have changed a few things on this XDM. Installed Powder River trigger which has no bearing on this issue. Heavier recoil spring guide rod and changed recoil springs to lighter and heavier than stock. If I used too heavy...

    Crack on Breech Face

    I have a Springfield XDM 5.25 in 9mm. If the pic shows up you can see the crack beginning at the corner of the 4 o'clock position.

    Rimfire Bolt Drag Problem...

    I have a Marlin 900 series bolt action (982VS) stainless steel heavy barrel in .22WMR. Suddenly the bolt is hard to move for and aft. Seems to be draging on the reciever. The drag is worse when pulling the bolt open. I bought this rifle new and the action ran smooth for at least 3000 rounds...

    It's been a few years since I have post on THR, hope I do it correctly. I just took delivery of one of the 'Detroit Police' revolvers in the way of a nickle plated model 10-5 in .38 Special. Just like the one 'whitecoyote' posted pics of above except mine has a 5 inch pencil barrel and mine...

    S&W. What Happend Here? (PIC)

    Below is a pic of what I think is called the front strap of a S&W model 686 no dash. I bought it from the original owner 'Pete' who bought it from a gun shop in Minnasota about 30 years ago. When he bought the Smith he also bought a basic-cheap handgun cleaning kit, 2 boxes of Federal .357...

    Guns For $225. Good Deal?

    Got The Smith 686! Ok, I got the guns home, inspected, cleaned and to the range. I agree with post#5, CoRoMo...... The 'Savage Model 187' rates as an excellent tomato stake! This is one poorly made piece of crapola. The only piece of steel on the gun is the barrel...ithink its steel...
