On a different, though slightly related note: Does anyone know if anybody produces an extended mag base for the single-stack S&W EZ series pistol mags? I have something of a ham hock for a hand & I could really use some extra grip space. Many thanks. Merry Christmas. Old SF

To all the folks here that have weighed in: Many Thanks! Some different points of view expressed, but all of them very much worth careful consideration. So now I get to scratch my head some more and try to formulate my own (much more educated) opinion. Again: Many thanks. And I hope that...

For years now, I have loaded my full-size 9mm pistols (4.5” or longer bbl.) with 124 gr. +P rounds, but loaded their shorter-barreled counterparts with 115 gr. +P ammo. My thought is that the heavier round in the longer bbl. will provide the velocity to give good efficiency from the heavier...

I picked up one of their full-size models (B6P) about 2 years ago. Over that time is has gotten pretty consistent use, though lately ammo availability has slowed thing down considerably. It has also caused me to have to resort to steel-cased ammo (Winchester Steel Forge, or something like...

Again, many thanks. Old SF

Many thanks, folks! Good information. One thing just to clarify: I'm not really expecting to identify one powder that will be the best for both rounds (one can hope, I suppose, but I'm thinking that may be too much 'pie in the sky!'); but rather a 'best choice' for mid-weight .223...

I am getting back into hand-loading and looking for some guidance regarding powders. I am set up to load .223. .308, .30 Carbine & 7.62X39. My main calibers will be .223 & .308. What I am hoping for is a single powder (for each caliber, of course) that will best serve for loading mid weight...

The Story: I have owned & used gear from Wild Bill's Concealment in Cary, NC for some time & have been thoroughly pleased with the quality of his products. Have whole-heartedly recommended them to friends & colleagues. So, last Christmas-time, I ordered another holster from him for my CZ clone...

I did a search, but couldn't find anything, so here goes! What is the difference between a pistol primer & a rifle primer? What about between a standard primer & a 'magnum' primer? What will likely occur if they are crossed up - a pistol primer in a rifle round or a rifle primer in a...

So far, it looks as though Mr. Ruger's little machine is 'taking it on the beak!' This is half way what I had expected, though I had thought the Mini-30 might get a LITTLE bit better a break. As for the SKS, I've got two, one of them a Tula Arsenal job from 1952 (same year as ME!)with all...

Here's a question for all of you semi-auto fanciers out there...Which do you see as the better choice, based on reliablity, accuracy, overall cost, overall bang-for-the-buck? The Ruger Mini 30 or the EAA Saiga (in 7.62X39)? What attribute/quality do you base your choice on? Many Thanks, and...

Good Morning, Folks, I'm looking for information regarding a brand of handgun ammunition that I am seeing advertised in various locations here of late. The brand is 'TRITON HI-VEL.' It seems to me that I have heard of it before, but have never used is. It seems to be '+P' stuff, good for...

Folks, I need some technical assistance from some of you legal eagles out there. I know that it is illegal to ship a firearm to another individual via the USPS. However, I have heard that it is legal to ship a firearm from one private citizen to another via UPS or FedEX. Do any of you out...
