Today, I went to the range with two magnum revolvers. I had made up some fine hand loads for them. The guns were my 3” Ruger SP-101 in 357 Mag and my 7-1/2” Ruger Redhawk in 44 Mag. I first shot the SP with some wadcutter handloads; they were easy to shoot, but their accuracy was...

I work in a business casual office. They're not too strict, but they don't want patch pockets or cargo pockets. I can't carry at work but obviously, I'd like them to be IWB-friendly for after hours, which doesn't require too much, but if they have a stretchy waist, that would help a lot; I...

It's a 5" revolver, N-frame. I don't really know where to start here. I found some mounts, but it seems I need to get it drilled & tapped? Doesn't anyone make something to just replace the rear sight with a mount?

Taffin’s new book on DA Sixguns is going to have to wait. I only had four books going; Time to start another.

Can you recommend tools I'll need to drift out the existing sights and install the new ones? Can you recommend some sights? This will be a range gun. I'm thinking maybe a fine fiber optic up front and either plain or different color fiber optics in the rear. Currently, its rear sight is a...

I'm sure some others have you got this ad email from a day or two ago. It seems S&W is now offering a $50 rebate on EZs. Brownells is advertising the after-rebate price with some fine print. $370 for the 380 w/o thumb safety $430 for the nine w/o thumb safety $500 for the nin w/o thumb safety...

I was at the range the other day shooting my Sig P365 carry gun. First, I shot a group with y carry ammo. Some old Winchester that I can’t remember what it is. That’s the top target. Seven yards, but still impressive, to me. Then below, I shot a couple mags’ worth of PMC FMJ range ammo. I...

For those who don't want to handload their ammo, 9 mm is a great choice; it has adequate power, in a compact package with affordable bulk ammo with which to practice. I guess one possible reason is that with 9 mm, saving brass isn't so important. It's so popular it's everywhere, so why not...

I have a friend who's a Springfield guy. He has an XDM 40 that he bought 357 Sig and 9 mm Luger barrels and mags for. (probably springs too?) He thinks I can adapt my 45 to shoot 9 mm and 22. I don't think that's the case, as I think the larger frame for the 45 doesn't match up.

I'm starting my wife shooting and I'm finding the best training aid for flinching is snap caps. I load the gun for her and put a snap cap or two in every magazine/cylinder. When she gets to it, we can both clearly see whether she flinched. I'm going it for myself now too and and catching...

It is time to bring back the Woodsman. First, you made history with the Single Action Army. Then other SA revolvers, then 1911, then DA revolvers. In the middle, you made the Woodsman and stopped making it for some reason. Now that you're back on your feet and under new ownership, it's time...

Remington 1-1/2 primers have this warning: <source link> What's the story with that? Would it be OK to use it in those cases, but with lighter loads of faster powder? I presume it's relating to magnum charges or other very high pressure loads.

https://www.acmebullet.com/Bullets/45ACP/45-ACP-225 The 45 ACPs I have are: S&W 625 - This will of course shoot fine through it. Springer XD-45 Tactical - I have this bullet profile in old-fashioned cast/lubed and they work fine in it Cimarron P in 45 Colt - Seems like it'll work fine; I just...

My wife just bought her first gun, a S&W 22 Compact. The one with the threaded barrel. We took it to the range last night to put it through its paces. Ammo was the bulk CCI HV that comes in the 300 round packages. It is marketed as being for 22LR ARs. Bullets are round nose, 40 gr., advertised...

What do you do when one candidate is best for gun rights, but awful in everything else, and the other is good in everything but is anti-gun? I'm guessing that most here will vote pro-gun, but there are a lot of other important issues too. (education, for example)

(I used the word "funnest" to troll people into this fun thread.) You get two votes. Let's see what the honeys of our little handgun world are! :) My current favorites are: Big bore DA revolver (5" 45 ACP S&W 625) Small bore automatic (6-7/8" 22LR Ruger Mk. II Target)

I guess I'm strange, but to me, it's just so satisfying to use them. They're an engineering delight: no moving parts, almost impossible to break, reliable. Compared to using a traditional powder measure in a single stage setup, it allows the loader to combine flaring and charging with the...

Is it put there by the manufacturer so the case rips apart when it has been sized too many times? If that happens, it's going to be a pain to get it out of the sizing die... Material savings? You can see what I'm talking about in the front-right 45 Colt cartridge in this photo:

I bought a brick of CCI small pistol primers from a gunbroker seller. The item photo showed the retail box we're used to seeing. What I got though was a plain box that was marked: "commercial primers - unplated - Not for resale." Does the guy work for an ammo company and is skimming them...

Biden is making noises about banning AR15s, since their bullets travel 5X as fast as a normal bullet and they have 100 round magazines with 8 bullets per round. (that's 800 rounds in one mag!) ;) Clearly, I need to pick one up before/in case any bans are successful. Background: I'm a retired...
