    Why Do You Carry A Gun?

    I just admit that I'm paranoid... and a moody loner. So, a moody paranoid loner with a gun. Next question?

    Colt 1917/New Service, Custom Holster

    I'm guessing you hook your lunches with bear paws if you find shooting that thing to be comfortable. I wear 2XL gloves and my 1917 Colt's trigger is almost within reach. :thumbup:

    New Oil Finish on Stock - How to Smooth It Out Without Causing Other Issues

    I think that may explain the problem. Whiskering is done with water, not oil, and a nonmarring abrasive such as a kitchen scouring pad.

    New Oil Finish on Stock - How to Smooth It Out Without Causing Other Issues

    Did you whisker the stock before first applying the oil?

    Update on recent experience flying with handgun

    ...isn't that how it works for you? Eventually, the flow dribbled to nothing. You can imagine my thoughts as I wandered over to the airline's ohsh*t counter. I waited my turn, filled out the claim form, and almost casually, as an aside, the agent there wondered if there was a gun involved...

    Today I enjoyed the outdoors. I chose to carry......

    I never could figure out how to pour those B&T's.

    Another "New" 1911.

    Verrückt is the German for crazy, FWIW.

    Is your measure gritty with H110?

    No problems with H110 in my CH4D.

    Glad I did this... saved some money too!

    CUP! I'm embarrassed to see you're right.

    Free bullet molds

    Jeez, I guess I'm lucky to have a heart that's cold and hard!

    Glad I did this... saved some money too!

    I was all set to drive over an hour to Kittery Trading Post tomorrow to pick up some 2400, the "go to" powder for 357 Mag (at least, that's what all you experts say). But with time on my hands today I entered some numbers from Lyman's reloading bible, 49th edition, and made a scatter plot...

    Question about flying with a handgun

    The gun must be in checked baggage; that could be a secure backpack. Both your airline and the TSA have their rules & regulations online.

    Lyman49th edition manual

    I looked in the Cast #4 book, the fastest powder listed for a 405 gr. bullet (Lyman 457193) is SR-4759. For the 1873 they go from 24 to 26.5 grains: 1258 fps, 12600 CUP to 1415 & 17700. For the 1895 they published 26.5/1429/19000 to 29.5/1577/25600.

    Cast bullet lube?

    K.M., I bet you'd get more responses if you told us what bullets you cast, and what you plan to shoot them through.

    Clip draw for J frame?

    I wouldn't trust one of those, and I speak from experience. I was carrying my M36 that way when I squatted down to clear snow from under the tires. My ample belly wasn't enough to hold the gun down as my leg pushed the barrel up (I was carrying at about 2 o'clock). So, into the snow she went...

    What Bullet & Powder Would You Use

    Use a 158 grain bullet, either a wadcutter or SWC, because that's the bullet weight your fixed sights are regulated for.

    Jeez Louise, all I want is one hex bolt!

    Jmorris, thank you very much. You are, as we used to say, a gentleman and a scholar. That said, I got what I needed from McMaster-Carr. They were pleasant to deal with. But, again, thank you. :thumbup:

    What was your first marksmanship badge of honor? .....

    Mine was when I shot my sister's front teeth out with my BB gun. (Honest, it was a mistake.) I still remember the reward my dad gave me. Oddly, she never held it against me in later years.

    Forcing cone erosion?

    It looks dirty and leaded but agreed, pix are not clear.
