• 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.

    Lasers vs. Red dots

    I’m not at all a fan of lasers on handguns, a bit less pessimistic on long guns (only because they are easier to hold steady.) I see guys at the range with their laser dots swinging all over the place as they search for it after the gun recoils. The projected dot is easily lost in light, as...

    Try before you buy

    I have only bought two guns from Buds, both during the height of the 2020 pandemic (July, 2020) and both Rugers. I got a blued 10” Mk IV and a Stainless/Walnut 10/22 RSI for about $85 less than what used S&W Model 63 .22 LR revolvers were selling for on Gun Broker. Easy transaction buying...

    Is the 44 Special dead?

    Like many cartridges that are uncommon in LE circles, and are non-military rounds, the .44 Specials have their fans. I’m certainly one, I have loaded and shot .44 Special rounds for roughly thirty years now. But I only have two dedicated .44 Specials today, as I sold off a 6.5” S&W 624 last...

    Aluminum case ammo

    It works fine, I’ve used it in .380, 9mm, .40, 45ACP, .38, .357 and .44 mag. Never had an issue with reliability, it’s accurate enough and what I don’t reload it saves a bit of $$. This was a shot of roughly 23 year old Blazer .45 230 gr fmj I finally shot the last of a couple of weeks ago. It...

    Fullstocked Krico 300 in 22 WMR

    Awesome! Krico rifles are real sleepers. Everyone has heard of the German biggies, these fly under the radar. Back in my high school days I was a huge Beeman airgun fan. They got the import rights to Korth revolvers and Krico rifles, guns I would love to own but rarely see. (eBay ad images)...

    First Anschutz, lives up to the hype?

    Cool! I’ve never had an Anschutz, it’s a maybe someday rifle for me like @rabid wombat. Love to see the groups at 50-100, I bet they’re going to be pretty darn good. :thumbup: Stay safe.

    Why does the Jewish population fear guns so much?

    Like many, I think it is more of an urban, liberal upbringing thing than simply a Jewish thing. Stay safe.

    Never Had a Red Dot on a handgun, Questions.

    After decades without, I went to a few dots on some of my guns a couple years ago. (A Ruger MkIV also wears one.) Like anything new, there is a learning curve when shooting a dot sighted handgun. The stance, grip, trigger action, trigger pull and follow through is the same, but getting used...

    Can you Safely and Reliably Manually Chamber a Sig P365 Series Pistol?

    I look at it this way: If I want to manually feed an autoloader chamber as was posted about, I’ll buy another tip up Beretta and load the chamber with the first round, then close the action up. The rest of the rounds will get fed by the magazine. As it is intended. If I want to exclusively...

    Can you Safely and Reliably Manually Chamber a Sig P365 Series Pistol?

    Man, this novella is truly, as William S. so eloquently put it, “Much Ado About Nothing.” Stay safe..

    Quick! If you had a choice of two S&W model 66’s which would you choose?

    That’s a good one 😂 😂 Stay safe.

    Finally joining .41 mag crowd!

    Very cool! Welcome to the club. My .41 adventure started late, with a smoking deal on a lightly used 7.5” Redhawk. I followed it up with a 6.5” Blackhawk and a 4” S&W 57 no dash. (This gun has a bit of pitting on the left side by the grip so it was another low-cost pickup. :thumbup: ) I...

    Crosman shockwave .22 review. Not good.

    3/4" scope recommendations?

    Gru-Bee maybe? https://www.grubee.net/collections/riflescope I put a pair on some Brownings, an Auto-22 and a BL-22. So far they have been great little scopes. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/i-am-trying-out-some-grubee-scopes-on-brownings.922474/#post-12703313 They are closer...

    What did you shoot today?

    After an acupuncture appointment I had enough time to run to the indoor range for a bit of trigger therapy. Brought along the S&W Model 41 .22 and Baer TRS .45. 😀 Stay safe.

    7.5” Colt Officer Model 38 - 1927 or 1950?

    I just fire 2.7 gr Bullseye-148 gr WC loads in my 1930’s vintage Officers Model Heavy Barrel. Shoots just fine, with minimal stress on the old gun. 😀 Stay safe.

    New to .41 Rem. Mag! First load question

    Enforcer is a good powder for the .41 Magnum. I use it (and H-110) for spicy loads with 210 JHP and JSP. :thumbup: Stay safe.

    What have you done in the reloading room today

    I moved a box containing 200 primed 7.62x51 cases, and a second with 500 .308 147 gr FMJ bullets, from my front porch into the garage. Summer travel season is fast approaching. After tomorrow I think am going to be too dang busy for the next month and a half to do a whole lot of reloading…or...

    New to .41 Rem. Mag! First load question

    Since you are already hand loading (good!), you could buy a bag of .41 Special cases from Starline and load your lighter weight loads in those. I bought some to try out a few years ago and really like how they work with my 210/215 gr low-to-mid power loads in my .41’s. I used Unique and AA#5...
