Hi THR -- it's been a while!
I'm getting the bug for a Ruger Single Six. I know I want a blued model for the lighter weight of the aluminum frame. I like the fit and finish of the current, "L" model blued SSs -- the ones with the internal lock -- so I am thinking about buying new. But I...
I'm pretty sure the answer is: they did it because of Justice Thomas. Thomas didn't speak at today's oral argument, and it's a shame, because he would likely have been less dismissive of Gura than Scalia and Roberts were. Justice Thomas's prior opinions (dissent in Saenz v. Roe and concurrence...
Sure, and the M1 Carbine's not far off either. But neither of em comes with a Picatinny rail (though you can add one to the M1 Carbine). And it's a lot easier to find clean, current production .357 SIG ball at the store than .30 Carbine, let alone .351 Self-Loading.
Put it in a durable...
I'm surprised to be the first in this thread to bring up a dedicated .357 SIG semiautomatic carbine. Much more sensible than trying to self-load a long, rimmed sixgun cartridge like the .357 Magnum. Closely similar ballistics to the Magnum with 115-125 grain bullets.
(There was passing...
.308 recoil in a military-style autoloading rifle like a FAL is noticeable, but not too bad. If you're a reasonably healthy adult man you should be able to go through 100 rounds without problem, which, given the cost and availability of good .308/7.62x51 ammo these days, is probably all you'll...
Great looking carbine! They can be so much fun to shoot. Watch out, because owning an 1894C is a good way to clean your house out of .357 ammo in a hurry :cool: and it ain't cheap to replace these days. Good thing you reload.
A piece of friendly advice. You might think seriously about...
Before this mutates into a .308-vs.-.30-06 thread --
Just wanted to note. While the LeverEvolution 160 gr may or may not be a significant boost to the long range capacity of the .30-30, it does do two things within the traditional 150 yard envelope:
1) Deliver more energy than many factory...
Hi All,
I've become a fan of Prvi Partizan (Serbian ammo maker) 5.56x45 mm in my 16" AR-15 carbine. I have shot a lot of their M193 ball and M855 green tip, and both are fine stuff. Accurate, good power, no problems.
Now I am seeing some decent deals on their sporting .223 55 gr Soft Point...
My reading and shooting have led me to the same place as a lot of other folks on this thread: I carry the Remington 158 gr LSWCHP .38+P (Item No. R38S12) in my 642. For a reload I carry a speed strip or speedloader of the Speer 135 grain Gold Dot JHP .38+Ps.
The 135 grain Gold Dots are very...
Yes, my Marlin 1894C had a lot of problems feeding .38 Specials. Which is a shame, because they were a ball to shoot and very accurate.
Then it also started to choke on .357s. Then I sold it.
Wonderfully enjoyable little carbines ...... when they work.
Will try again with another Marlin...
harmonic really put it in a nutshell.
For a silhouette/range gun, the SRH is great. But for a woods/carry .44, it's too big and heavy. Get a pre-lock S&W 629, Mountain Gun or, heavier but still doable, a Ruger (non-Super) Redhawk 4"...
No stainless steel model at present. That would be a great working gun! Since the blued guns are all-steel, a stainless version wouldn't weigh any more.
I'm accustomed to stainless revolvers, so I've had to get used to wiping down and lightly oiling the Ruger after a shooting session. Want...
I've been shooting a new mid-frame Ruger Blackhawk Flattop in .44 Special, from the current limited run by Lipsey's.

I'm really enjoying this...
My only experience is with the contemporary .32 caliber revolver chamberings.
I used to own a 3" Ruger SP101 in .32 H&R Magnum, which I much regret selling. Just a sweet, accurate shooter.
I occasionally carried that thing after I got my CCW permit but before I acquired lighter and smaller...
Well, there are J-frames and then there are J-frames.
- If you want a true pocket gun, the Airweight J-frames in .38 Special +P (models 642, 637, 638, etc.) are very concealable and easy to carry. Much lighter than an SP101. Like Hastings above, I "love how a j-frame Smith gets forgotten in...
It's always nice to own a .30-30! :) But I've noticed lately that even .30-30 ammo is getting tricky to find, both online and in stores. I think it's been partially caught up in the shortage.
I have the Meprolight tritium front on my snubby SP101. It's OK.
The dot is definitely smaller than the dots on most tritium fronts for semi-auto pistols. But it is still of some benefit in finding your sight picture in low light.
Because the tritium front sight is taller than the factory...
