I know, odd title for the accessories section. I was -buying- an accessory, or looking for one and that's when I came upon an excellent example OF customer service. So I wanted to share the experience. (R1)I was looking for a small red dot for my yugo m70. I did a stock job on this...

<---- I made a reply based on the suggestions presented and the fact that one of the other forum members is going to sell me his older reloading equipment. I just didn't think it would necessarily be appropriate to have a reloading thread in the revolver section so I posted the reply in the...

...same brass. So I did a price comparison based on that - to judge reloading v.s. commercial ammunition. brass (100ct) $19.49 (*10 = $194.90) (/5 = $38.98) http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=33926/Product/Starline-Brass bullets (1000ct) $95.00...

I don't have the cashola to fork out and buy reloading equipment (eventually i'll break down and do so). So I'm constantly rummaging through different places and looking for decent ammunition at a not outrageous price. I found one I think is a good deal and I'd like to share with everyone else...

...can't be beat. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=270238442 That exact model: but blued. Very hard to find anymore, not many floating about. That and when you do find one - it's not cheap. Then again, I'll always have a soft spot for the 28 highway patrolman as well...

...in a pistol package for states that don't allow rifle hunting. Some of those states (like mine, illannoys) only allow pistol hunting if it's *also* in a pistol caliber. So you can't simply use .30-06 in a pistol sized single shot contender. It looks like the .357 maximum just packs too...

Dale, you clearly didn't pay attention. In my example above of 9mm luger compared to .357 magnum: the magnum still won. Check the post - it hasn't been edited in any way. I never said that the 9mm beat the .357: I was only highlighting what happens to .357 when it IS fired from super short...

You know, that's one caliber I've never had the opportunity to shoot. I've shot 9mm luger and mak, 7.62mm tok, .38 special, .38 super, .380, .40 S&W, .45 acp and .44 mag. I really should invest in a model 27 in .357. maybe one of the police magnum trade ins (if there's any left to be found...

Nice! *drool* I hate you and I love your Grandfather, the old man had good taste. My grandfather's got a Ruger vaquero in .44 mag (which they no longer make) and it's had the frame color case hardened. He refuses to sell it to me, :cuss:

The only problem with most 10mm pistols is that they're steel and are foolishly built using inferior frames. You can't necessarily shoot a lot of 10mm in a frame made for .45: it's got a much higher pressure threshold. One of the reasons the Glock's handle 10mm so easily -without- having...

Suburbia .45 acp kills anything you may come across: and does so very well. I don't even bother with hollow points: The 230 grain FMJ at 850 fps has buried fascists, communists, totalitarians, zealots, guerrillas, anarchists and tribesmen on various continents across the globe. Dead, planted: in...

Continuing that theme: I myself shoot aggressive weaver. Feet shoulder width apart with knees slightly bent and weight centered. Hips and shoulders squared to the target. It gives me excellent balance and stability and feels more natural because I've received a fair amount of training in...

I have to say: .44 mag has got to be my favorite handgun cartridge of all time. Get yourself a Ruger and throw in some hand cannon ammunition, they won't fall apart like the smith will. If you like the 629 so much: get a Ruger Redhawk in the same barrel length. The difference between 240 grain...

At this point I have two things to say. 1. oldfool is my hero. Post #55 was fantastic. 2. The following quote prompted an immediate bond villain evil laugh.

...on about what I do, but I am a gunsmith. Also, the idea of a mim sear and disconnector makes my hair stand on end: I very much prefer my gun fire *once* when I pull the trigger. It doesn't matter -who- made it: I'd yank those out of there before I ever fired the gun. MIM brakes, wears...

I -still- like and want some of the classics from the other companies. By the way: Colt Anaconda, Python and a Smith 29 classic. I'd also love to have a couple of Dan Wessons - those were superb revolvers as well. Yet - I want those as collector's pieces, and then I'll customize a few Ruger's...

Ruger's -able- to "make good stuff at a good price" because they're not shy or even hesitant about dumping money into their R&D for the purpose of advancing production techniques. Most companies have engineers who do little else than try to cut corners to lower costs by finding things they can...

...decreases muzzle rise WITHOUT having to port the barrel. Whenever I'm going to shoot a gun with a ported barrel - I wear double ear protection. I *hope* to never have to fire one without ear protection in a SD situation, even if I came out unscathed by a potential attacker I'd probably have...

I started by reading the first page.... I saw the pictures.... I was trying *really* hard to control my laughter well enough to start typing. And I got to this: That's about where I lost it and laughed so hard I squinted out tears. I was reminded of a line from Lucky Number Slevin. "I'm...

I have an older model of the same gun. American Classic Commander sized: it worked so well for me I convinced someone else I went to school with to get one as well. he still loves his, far as I know. they really do shoot well: now I have come across flaws but then again - I learned how to make...
