I don't see the need for moon clips on a range or casual field gun, and I'd not have one of my revolvers modified to use them, but they do make sense for a competition gun. I have a 25-2 Model of 1955 Target Smith that will use them, but prefer to load .45 Auto-Rims for it. The loads are the...

That's one fine lookin' pistola, Track....one of my 'grail' guns I'll admit. Rod

I'd say that the .44 Spl. is more versatile (if you handload), than a .45 Colt (baring the Ruger only loads). Given my history with both, I've found the Special much easier to load for gilt edged accuracy than my .45 Colts. I own both Rugers and Colts in .45, but only my only .44 Specials are...

Thanks for the compliment, Dit....50 years of repairing tack etc. Rod

Gotta admit....AIWB SCARES THE H**L OUT OF ME. Be careful guys, that re-holstering move would seem to be danger point. Rod

Geez, Moon, I knew S&W's QC was not up to snuff the last cpl years, but that record is atrocious. I'm hopeful that their move to TN, will improve the QC issues, and the failures you've brought up. Best regards, Rod

Varmint....I've had a love for Ruger's .32 Single Sixes since they came out and found that as my grand daughters learned to shoot beyond the .22 LR "Chipmonk Rifle" stage, they've taken a liking to the .32's as well. The guns are light enough for their young hands to manipulate and hold with...

I really like my Mk ll for its accuracy with a variety of ammunition and I'm comfortable with its trigger, but then I'm a field and casual range shooter so a really high grade trigger isn't a top $ priority. Given a two-handed Weaver hold (which would get you disqualified in "Bullseye...

I'm not nor ever have been an LEO, but several friends are and might have a different opinion on 'printing' as may some of the bad guys. YMMv of course. Rod

Hope they got it right for you....in 50+ years of shooting S&W's, and with only two that needed a return to the mother ship, they got both right and charged me not a dime. Good luck..Rod

I look forward to your range report, Gw, on that wadcutter .41....I've spent plenty of time with a cpl LSWC's in .41, but have never picked up a full WC. If results are like what I get in my .38 Spl and .357 WC's, your accuracy and close in effectiveness too, should be outstanding. I size to...

I hear ya, Ditmo....when Obama left office and powder and primers not to mention .22's were again available; I bought in quantity. But I have to say that casting my own bullets, I do it for all of my guns, has been an enormous source of satisfaction and economy. Sadly, the automotive industry...

And I'd add, an isolated farm or suburban housewife with her kids depending on her, be added to the list of potential combat participants...the handgun's my vote for the king of close in, day in night out, defensive weapons. Light enough for smaller, and some would say, gentler hands, to wield...

You got it just right Shanghai...though it will take years for some of the younger brethren to come to grips with that nemesis of the shooting fraternity. But a .32 of any shape or form, is a caliber from the last century and will do nothing that a .38 special or light load 9mm won't do better...

Well...I load and cast my own too....with RCBS' 32-98 LSWC using wheel weight alloy, ~4.0 gr of Win 231, I can shoot them for a nickel a piece. Half the price of current local CCI .22 lr & probably 1/3 the cost of the magnums. Granted, I've had the casting molds for 30 years, bought a zillion...

For single action only work...this one would be my choice...Ruger's 50th Anniversary Model Flat Top...an outstanding shooter, especially with Lyman's 358156 GC backed with 13.5 gr of 2400 in Magnum brass...an authoritative load that'll raise that muzzle skyward. If interested, check the load in...

Very cool....and what a wife you have, Cajun !!!!! Best regards Rod.

Ruger SIngle Six's in .32 H&R are beyond fun....I call them (copying Armored Farmer's comment IIRC); my reloadable .22's. They're great plinkers, coon and possum eradicators from our barns, outstanding trail guns for thistle tops, pine cones, BBQ briquettes on fence posts, and clay birds on the...

thanks for a good laugh Cajun....Rod

Hogue's Monogrip has worked well for me...just about eliminates the 2nd knuckle whack on my J-Frame M-60 3" bbl'd Smith with stout loads. And while I've tried the Pachmayr's Compac Professionals I found them 'sticky' for CC use (they'd allow my cover garment to ride up)...but that could have...
