    I am looking for an article that is in the Dec 1995 American Rifleman magazine on the Gonic Arms GA-90 Magnum muzzle loader barrel for the Contender carbines/pistols. If anyone could scan the article and send the pages to me I would be grateful. I just purchased this barrel/stock for my...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    I'm shooting 355gr/360gr @ 1445fps out of the 4.25" SRH and 1520fps out of the 7.5 SRH 405gr @ 1330fps out of the 4.25" SRH and the same load does 1420fps out of a 7.5" SRH in 454 Casull. These are not hot loads... What velocities does a very hot loaded 370gr & 440gr do out of a 500S&W?

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    Just asked the gunsmith that did mine he quoted $300.00 to shorten and install front sight rib + cost of fiber optic front sight and spring kit... He's in BC, Canada so it is probably not possible to get him to work on it but here is his web site link so you can get a local gunsmith to check...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    Not saying that it isn't possible saying that it is not for me... :D Just thinking what loads are you shooting so you can shoot a 500 S&W so quickly?

    Which Tool For the Job: .454 or .45/70

    Actually when the 45-70 is loaded to it's potential in a Marlin 1895 it is a ballistic twin to the 450 Marlin. Here is a couple of video clips of me shooting my Marlin 1895GS 45-70 with my top loaded 405gr RNFPGC Bullet Barn cast bullets @ 1950fps. I'd have to say that there isn't much...

    What happened to the 10mm???

    I purchased my Colt Delta Elite 10mm new in 1987 and started reloading for it right away. I now also have a Glock 20 and a 18.5" barrel for my T/C Contender carbine and just last week I ordered a compact Glock 29 10mm and yesterday made an offer on a Kimber Eclipse Custom 11 10mm... The...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    Eddie I totally disagree with your last comment. I think draw and dry fire practice is great and doing it has helped me with being able to draw proficiently and should be a major part of everyone's practice program. I find being able to shoot lighter loads has helped me learn to shoot my...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    Mainspring, I agree with what you are saying but I would rather have a handgun on my hip than a rifle/shotgun leaning against a tree or rock... Let me make it very clear that not all wild animal attacks are full out charges towards you... With that said... I very rarely go out without a...

    S&W 500 or S&W 460 for dangerous game defense?

    I am one of under 900 non-enforcement Canadians that is licensed to carry handguns in remote wilderness areas for the protection of my life and the lives of others due to my working in these remote areas. I had a 6" 629 but I found that I left it at home all of the time so I sold it and...

    Which Tool For the Job: .454 or .45/70

    I have lever action rifles chambered in both cartridges that you are asking about. Both of these rifles are set up for defense with iron or ghost ring sights. My 45-70 is a 18 1/2" barreled Marlin 1895GS and is stainless steel. I load this rifle with 300gr Hornady or Barnes X bullets at...

    I carry handguns for defense when in remote wilderness areas here in British Columbia, Canada. We have over half of Canada's black bears here in BC which is approximately 200,000 + this is also the largest concentration of black bears in the world. We also have over 20,000 Grizzlies in the...

    Crimson Trace Lazergrips

    I installed Crimson Trace grips onto my shortened 4.25" barreled Ruger Super Redhawk in 454 Casull. The laser works great and are very accurate out to 25 yards, I really haven't taken the time to try beyond that though. These are probably the most punishing grips I have ever used on a...
