    Ruger Bearcat in .32 H&R Magnum

    I have bought several custom revolvers from Reeder over the years. Never had a problem with any of them. Gary Reeder will build your custom to the specific design you want within the limits of the frame it is built on. He built me a revolver in 25 caliber with 3 different cylinders for 3...

    Stuck Cylinder Pin

    I enclosed my front porch for a small in the house shop. After having health issues I am exhausted easy. I have a small mill and lathe in my shop. Both are too big to move to my porch shop. I bought a mini lathe from harbor freight. It is cheap made with plastic gears. Going slow it will thread...

    $219??? Pietta Rebel

    I do not disagree that brass frame guns can be destroyed with full loads. I own both brass and steel frames. The steel handles full loads with no problems. I like to shoot/plink in my back yard or sitting on my back porch. I shoot my brass frame guns with light loads. They are my favorite for...

    And now, in beta testing

    I would buy and shoot something like that. Have had worse. Would not pay what is being ask.

    Gotta love those Cabela’s points! Pietta 1851 “Old Silver”

    The nearest Cabelas is 100 miles one way. Bass. Pro is 70 one way. Both said I can only use $20 in points per purchase. It isn't worth the drive to fool with. Both have lost my business.

    Smokeless powder

    I never tried smokeless in blackpowder guns, not something I would do. Years ago old gunsmith friend had a open top cap and ball revolver with cylinder blown apart someone gave him. He figured it was from smokeless

    Tingle drum

    May not be something you want to use, but a crush washer can be easy to make from lead or brass. I refer brass, and adjust thickness so it reaches desired location when tight.

    How long do black powder revolvers last?

    Buy steel, I own both brass and steel in open top and Remington, shoot both in 36 and 44. My favorite guns to shoot are the open top brass frame guns. "But" I shoot mostly plinking, mouse fart loads for fun. Most shooters want heavier loads, the steel frame guns are much better for that. Brass...

    Which .36?

    I didn't suggest a Colt, Remington or particular model. Own both and like different things about both. Logic gives Remington an edge over Colt open top in some ways. I usually pickup the open top instead because I like it better. Like shooting, plinking with 36 better than 44. Usually load well...

    Which .36?

    If you are not in a hurry and dont mind used watch the pawn shops, yard sales, forum sales etc. Have found some really good deals over the years. For new I watch places on line and brick and morter stores for sales. Have saved doing that. Difference in cost well worth the wait.

    Remington Versus Colt Revolvers

    I own both steel and brass frame guns in both. Know steel frames are stronger and "better" because of added strength. I don't load heavy so it doesn't matter. The brass frames are fun for no special reason. The open tops even more so. I'm not a fan of the high Tec semi autos to get out and do...

    Remington Versus Colt Revolvers

    I'm not getting into a ford/chevy or any other type argument of personal likes or dislikes. I shot modern cartridge revolvers in single and double action, love both for different reasons. I own a car and a pickup, love both for different reasons. When younger usually drove a pickup, now work...

    Whats the deal with Judge

    I'm past 60 and have been reloading and shooting handguns all my life. Over the years have played with shot and multiple projectile loads in 357,44,and 45's. I bought a Judge after shooting one as a snake gun. It stays loaded with Winchester AA#8 or #9 usually and works great for what I bought...

    Taurus Judge Review (w/ targets)

    I bought the ultra lite Judge with a 3" barrel and cylinder for 2 1/2" shells when it first came out. I bought it for snakes when mowing on a zero turn mower. It is usually loaded with AA #8 or#9 shot and is perfect. Over the years it has been used to test ammo and with other .45's and Judges...

    High Standard Sentinel MK IV

    High Standards Some of them can be picky about ammo, tried several types in last one. Shot well with 50 grain bullets and the cheap Winchester dyna points but not other Winchesters. Did not shoot well with anything under 40 grain. Have had a few that would shoot just about anything, some are...

    Raging Bull ??

    I do not have a bull in 41. Own and have owned several of the Raging series and Trackers. The Raging guns in 44 and 454 have been extremely accurate. I use scopes on these guns and groups at 100 yards are as good or better than most factory revolvers. Cast bullets shoot great, but the barrel...

    Ruger Redhawk/Burris Scope mount position

    With good rings and base you have a lot of freedom to mount a scope the way it fits you. I have scopes on everything from .17 to 458 caliber handguns. Scopes, rings, and mounts have come a long way over the years. Try it the way you have it and check everything after 50 to 100 rounds and see if...

    k-22 mag cylinder conversion

    I have listened to this for years about Ruger Single Six revolvers usually. We slugged the barrels that were out of the guns on both old and new model Single sixes. Then slugged Ruger, 10/22, 77/22, and the 96 lever actions. Also the 77/22 mag barrel and 10/22 mag barrel. The Single Six barrels...

    Where can I get this?

    Looks like just a modified grip frame, probably any of the custom Smiths would do one.
