Sorry, I don't have a chronograph. My best guess is just based on the velocities others are reporting with a similar loading.

Thanks, it's not looking good then - just my luck! I reached out to Cimarron now, to see what should be done next with this revolver...

I noticed recently on my Cimarron/Uberti '7th Cavalry' 1873 SAA replica, that it has some pretty deep flame cutting in the top strap. I purchased this gun brand new less than a year ago in June, 2023 through Midway USA. Since then, I have only put 1,000 rounds of black powder 45 Colt through it...

At the time they introduced the safety notch, and I imagine for many decades thereafter, it was viewed as a perfectly safe means of carrying the revolver with all 6 rounds loaded. It was likely viewed as an improvement over the cylinder notches of previous cap and ball models, since the cylinder...

Well... technically a modern cartridge primer is still just a percussion cap, but with a little anvil in the middle to take the place of the nipple. So, I guess the term still sort-of works. :rofl:

I don't understand the reason to do this with modern revolvers that can safely be carry with all six. There is no reason. Why does this even need to be a "habit" that's applied to every revolver in the first place? Just be aware of what revolver you're loading up, and whether or not it can be...

I can't even leave my plinker guns dirty... it gives me anxiety to put one away without cleaning it first.

I looked it up now, that is indeed what it is! Here is a pic of a removed thumb latch from the bottom, showing the plastic insert and a spare insert..

That would make sense, and nice attention to detail on Colt's part if that's actually what it is.

Beautiful! That white thing looks too blobish to be an actual part... perhaps some dried white grease?

Not entirely in line with the original post, but this just popped into my mind as some random advice for newbies... Don't stage your home defense weapons at the front/back door! I say this, because I know someone who actually does this... and I think it's somewhat common among people who...

Yep, I would have loved it if Ruger made the frame insert out of steel. I feel like it would add an inconsequential amount of additional weight, but with the benefit of being far more durable. The aluminum insert is ultimately why I felt the need to get a pocket pistol replacement for my old...

Nothing special about a pre-29. The models before the 29-2 just go for more, due to the historical collector value... but for that extra cash, you get a ejector rod that may unthread itself since it unscrews in the same direction as the cylinder rotation (this was reverse-threaded in the 29-1...

I finally made it out to the range today to shoot my brand new LCP1 Gen3 pistol. I put 100 rounds of FIOCCHI 95gr FMJ, and 12 rounds of Hornady 'American Gunner' XTPs through it. It ran flawlessly, as expected. Some key observations that I made while actually shooting this new LCP1, compared to...

Personal defensive was the motivation behind my initial gun purchases... however once I satisfied that, I started looking for firearms that I just thought were cool or fun. In my case, that meant going from boring but practical polymer wonders, to historic firearms like lever actions and revolvers.

I looked it up now, you're right! I didn't realize they were offering that again.

I got one of those anodized triggers directly from Ruger once to try in my LCP... I actually found it to be extremely uncomfortable, and ended up putting the original polymer trigger back in it! The sharp edge of the flat face trigger dug into the side of my finger during recoil, and after just...

Yeah, they sometimes do dealer exclusive specials with different colored aluminum anodized triggers, there is the red, and a blue version of that trigger. The 'Custom' version, as mentioned above, also had the dovetailed sights. There were also stainless steel slide models of the LCP, including...

It was the Gen2 base model, with custom dovetail sights and aluminum anodized flat face trigger. I believe they were only made in 2015-2016? LCP1 "Gen1" = 2008-2013 LCP1 Gen2 = 2013-2022 LCP1 Gen3 = 2022-Present.

Thanks for checking out my post! I'm glad too. I have tried both the LCPII and the LCP Max, and for one reason or another I didn't like either one as much as the original LCP. That's why I bought this new current production LCP1 Gen3 recently, to have a backup replacement on hand in case the...
