    Early 1911 ambi safetys

    What is the earlier ambi safety in a 1911 you know of. Most likely custom one off guns. Watching a movie where the main character had an anachronistic 1911 got me thinking about early custom 1911s . I know Clyde Barrow had some modified 1911s so people were modifying them. Any verified ambis...

    2023 bench primers. Any good options

    I rarely reload but Looking at maybe getting another primer. I have the rcbs hand primer, the old one that you have to dissassemble to switch out the large or small ram and use the correct shell holder for each round (works but I don't love the shell holder swapping . I have two single stage...

    Big game hunting revolver picture thread

    Reading through a thread I made about hunting holsters got me curious as to people's actual big game hunting revolvers and the holsters they ride in. Favorite loads as well, and what type hunting you do. My first one would be this 7.5 inch redhawk in a Bianchi cyclone on a stiffened belt...

    Marlin 39 clone

    Was in Bass pro/Cabelas the other day picking up a 200 dollar winchester pump shotgun and saw a clone/ish of a marlin 39 takedown lever action 22 but with a Henry-ish stock. Being a collector of lever action rimfires i don't think it's something I want, just curious if anyone has any...

    5.7 x 28 ammo. WTH

    First off, yes I know everything is more expensive than it was in the past. Yes components have gone up. Etc etc. The 5.7 uses perhaps the most common bullets and powders. Nothing rare I also know about supply and demand. 25 costs more than 9mm because of less buyers. 410 costs less than 12...

    365x or 365xl

    Been debating on the two. Not interested in anything else, I have everything I need. Both are x series. I'm getting one or the other. Both are the same price. Both with Romeo zero. both are 9mm. It MAY end up being my carry gun. If I get it and dont care for it I'll probably give it to...

    2021 night/ thermal vision opinions

    I've read threads but due to the age of many and the price constraints many OPs queries place I thought I'd make my own . What currently made is the better options in both thermal or regular night vision in different cost brackets, say sub 1k, and sub 2500. Possibly sub 500 if anything is...

    Running up prices on gunbroker

    Obviously things are silly right now. But I just saw some black aces buckshot sell for over double what numerous websites have it for and in stock. I was wondering (and have wondered in the past as well) what things are in place to stop folks from running up their own things on gunbroker. Ive...

    Any device to make rimfire loading easier?

    Now that the kids are shooting I'm finding that my big old hands get quite tired loading the little rimfire rounds in my revolvers (and somewhat in my tube fed rifles too). I can shoot semi autos or 357/44/460....whatever all day but the little rimfires hurt. Years of weight lifting, wrenching...

    Walmart handgun reloading clearance

    Just a heads up. Walmart has all RCBS carbide handgun dies for 25 dollars and shell holders for 4. Their 1k packs of primers were on the shelf too but not marked down. The bullets must have been sold already.

    Sig mosquito cracked slide.....shocker.

    Well, my beloved mosquito failed. I bought it new back when they first came out. A full case of blaser and a couple buckets of golden bullets at least went through it. Almost no hot ammo though, Maybe a mag or two of mini mags. I've bought more since then but all have been unreliable used...

    While shooting with a friend recently he was shooting through my chronograph working up through his trial loads. We were shooting 10mm and he got close to his book max and was still considerably slower than the loads ive used for 15 years. Long story short, his book max was 9 grains of blue...
