I have two Kimbers. The first one, a Stainless II, I replaced the factory sights with fiber optic/tritium sights. I had quite a few failures to fire. The firing pin wouldn't hit hard enough. So, I removed the Schwartz safety spring and block in the slide (under the rear sight) and I have not...

The different barrel lengths are all just as "accurate" - at least out of a gun vise (like a Ransom Rest). However, the longer barrels are "easier" to shoot because of their longer sight radius. Longer barrels also provide more "burn time" and thus a greater bullet velocity. Their added...

Last year, and many years before, as a high school Physics teacher I received permission from the principal and school liaison officer to bring in my 1911 to show how recoil and momentum were important in the gun's operation. I also field stripped the gun in front of the class so they could see...

from Oyeboten Quite the contrary! An unbalanced force must always cause an acceleration. An object will change its velocity, - speed or direction or both. How else would the bullet ever get started down the barrel?

Ok, as a former physics teacher, let me take a shot at this!! Hee, hee One must be careful when applying Newton’s Laws. The action/reaction law is commonly misinterpreted. It states that equal and opposite forces, impulses, and momenta occur PROVIDED THAT THERE ARE NO EXTERNAL FORCES. When a...

I have a Taurus 627 4" Titanium 7 shot. Same "thickness" as your 6"GP100 but a whole lot lighter. It's ported to reduce recoil. Shooting full-house 357 Mag loads from an SP101 will take it some concentration. Personally, I like a 4" for carrying in the woods. A 4" GP100 is a great gun too...

yup, 5 1/2 " barrel.(8 shot) It actually felt more muzzle heavy than my 44 mag 5 1/2 " Blackhawk. - Smaller diameter whole, but same outside diameter barrel. Beautiful looking gun. I bet it would be a pleasure to shoot - provide you could find some ammo.

Because you want to use your reloads in both your rifle and revolver, you will need to watch for the maximum overall length that your feed ramp in the rifle will handle. Marlin's maximum length in 44 Mag is considerable shorter than a revolver's cylinder. Most JSP or JHP in 240 gr or less will...

I have a stainless 5 1/2" and I think it's a great revolver. I read someplace that the barrel is bored out to accept the 22 mag bullet so the 22 LR bullet needs to obturate (upset) more to fill the bore. However, I've never had any accuracy problems. What is nice about the single six is that...

I've been using Accurate Arms #9 powder, 20.0 to 21.0 grains with a 240 gr Hornaday JHP/XTP. works quite well in my Ruger Super Redhawk.

Revolvers are much more versatile when in comes to different ammunition. - shot capsules for snakes and little varmints, light loads for small game, heavy loads for bigger game, target loads, defense loads, multi-cartridge (38 spl/357 mag, etc), double and single trigger pull, and if it doesn't...
