Handgun - 460 S&W Mag. Rifle - 30-06.

I have a Beretta 96 (40S&W version of the 92). It is a bit bigger than I like but I can manage it. The gun is as reliable as a light switch.

Congrats on the new pistol. I have a Model 84, Model 85 (380 ACP) and a Model 81 (32 ACP) versions. The 22LR model would be nice to have.

I like Pachmayr Presentation grips on my K-frame guns but the round butt frames do not fit well with the current Presentation grips available. Pachmayr Gripper grips are a reasonable substitute. For my N-frames, I shop gun shows for old Presentation grips. I’ve used Compac grips on some of...

Pruning branches with a 28 ga is fine if it works but I'd think using a less expensive shell/gun, like 12 or 20 ga, would be more prudent regardless of being able to reload the hull. 28 ga is expensive enough and I'm a fan of 28 ga shotguns. The only "pruning" I do with a shotgun is...

I do not know the diameter or the length of pins I use but I get some pins stuck in the flash holes. I poke them out with a piece of stiff wire that fits in the flash hole. Sounds like @FROGO207 has a good method.

I have a 6" current production stainless Python that has a couple boxes of ammunition through it and it performs well. I just bought a 4-1/4" blued current production Python that has not been shot yet. I have plans to replace the sights with Wilson sights on both if necessary but these are...

I have two or three 300 BO AR-15's, all have stainless barrels. The low velocity with the low powder charge will not harm the barrel like a 220 Swift or 204 Ruger high velocity varmint ammunition. I shoot only super sonic loads in my 300 BO guns. I do not expect anytime barrel wear soon with...

I've never had a 1911 not shoot well with 230 RN bullets, maybe after a little tuning. Designer HP bullets are a different matter. I have had good luck with Colt 1911's. My 45 ACP 1911 with an optical sight. I've assembled a couple 1911 pistols chambered in 45 ACP that perform well. One is my...

For reference... I bought a new Colt Gold Cup chambered in 9x19 in 8/2018 for $1240. I bought a new Colt Light Weight Commander chambered in 9x19 for $931 in 8/2017. I bought a new Springfield 1911-A1 Range Officer chambered in 9x19 for $888 in 7/2016. The current production of the Gold Cups...

I’m not a fan of the external extractor. I have at least one, a 45 ACP 1911. The extractor works but not simple to remove. I like the internal extractor. Easy to remove and adjust, not very expensive. I have a Colt Government Model and a Colt Gold Cup chambered in 9x19. Both have been...

Do what you are comfortable with. I generally have one reload around, maybe on me, maybe in the car. But, mostly have a micro 380 or a j-frame on me so reloads are a few number of rounds. My j-frames are machined for moon clips.

All of my revolvers have a safety system where one can fill the cylinder. Most are DA/SA revolvers. I have a few modern Rugers with the transfer bar. If I ever got an old style SA revolver such as a Colt SAA, I load it six at the range but never carry it. I have enough other revolvers that I...

My favorite gun depends on the task the gun is meant for. I like j-frame revolvers or micro semi-autos for concealed carry. I would not expect these guns to be very effective against dangerous game. On the other side, my 460XVR does not make a good concealed carry gun All that said, I’m a...

No.

I'll agree, my 460XVR is accurate and easy to handle once you learn the basics. I have a heavy 45 Clot load loaded in a 460 Mag case that allows one to practice with the revolver without the major recoil. Then when switching to the full power loads, some of the basics are learned on the shooter...

I have an 1890 vintage Winchester 1873 chambered in 32-20. It was refinished before I bought the rifle. It looks great. I had to replace the magazine spring it now shoots great. I also have a 1920-ish vintage S&W k-frame size 32-20 revolver. It, also, was nickel plated before I bought the gun...

My bedside gun is the same as my carry gun, an H&K P30SK-V3. Why not keep the same operation for the same circumstances. I have a P30SK-LEM trigger gun and I'm slowly learning to accept it.

For every day carry, I prefer an H&K P30SK with the V3 trigger (DA/SA). But, I have a P30SK with the LEM trigger and am warming to it.

I'm a big fan of large caliber N-frame S&W revolvers. I do have a 3" Lew Horton Model 624 along with a 4" Model 624 and a 4", 6", and an 8-3/8" Model 25-5 revolvers. The 3" Lew Horton is a bit snappy to shoot. But, everyone has their different threshold as to what firearm recoil is acceptable or...
