    Most expensive to collect

    As a collector, I would say the most expensive would be particular models. For example: 1) S&W Registered Magnums. 5500 of them made each one has a registration number so easy to tell them apart. 2) S&W Triple locks. About 16,000 made (?) and very distinctive third lock. Again, easy to...

    Brinnel, 12 v 18, 38spcl v .357 mag

    I have used the 18's in my 38's but you are on "leading ground" if you don't have the right throat and barrel combination. My suggestion is to use the softest bullet you can. I find i can load up my 12 brinnel bullets up to 357 Mag speeds with little leading. it is not until you get to 357...

    IWB @ Houston. Humidity and sweat a problem if I go leather?

    I have found that like others you just learn to deal with the humidity. I run versamax II's and rotate holsters if they are truly soaked. Normally during the summer I am in shorts so I go for pocket carry and do IWB in slacks which is less often. The humidity is really not that bad. I figure...

    Reliable 10mm 1911 mags?

    I find it interesting. All of my 10mm mags work well. I don't have a bad one of the Mecgar, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Old Wilson or even Colt. Try one of them.

    Beretta 87 or Smith-Wesson 41?

    I have both. Totally different animals! My 2 41's are target pieces. They don't like high speed ammo, they don't like cheap ammo. They don't like to be abused in any way. They are exceptionally accurate and reliable. Dang fun to shoot also. My 87t is a fun gun to shoot. Super fun. It...

    9mm or .38 super

    As a reloader, the 38 Super is easier. The brass is easier to pick up. Its less fussy about components. It handles lead bullets easier due to the non-tapered case. I can do anything a 9mm can do with my 38 Supers "ballistically" with less pressure given the larger case. So basically 38...

    Spent Brass Storage Containers?

    Folgers plastic cans. Cheap (free) and readily available so I use them.

    38 super anybody got one?

    I agree with Tark, the semi-rim was dumb but hey, for its its time (38 Auto) it made sense. I do love my 38 Supers for the same reasons especially the lead aspect. Cheap to keep fed once you get the brass.

    Can a non-C&R sell to a C&R holder out of state?

    Thank you very much. I will do exactly that. What I will start selling off is a bunch (40 or so) of S&W 38/44s and Pre-27's. I also have a Black army 1911 and Broomhandle that are C&R. PM me if interested.

    Can a non-C&R sell to a C&R holder out of state?

    I went back 10 pages of C&R Search and did not figure it out. I read the ATF helpful pages and that did not really make it clear either. So.... I want to start liquidating my pre-WWII revolvers. So can I sell and ship my C&R legal revolvers and semi-auto's to a C&R holder in another...

    RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure

    Wear it in. My best uniflow (I think I have 4 or 5 now for some reason) is the one I use on my pro2000 and the micrometer small insert. It has done about 300,000 rounds and is very smooth. It throws 800x just fine with +/- 0.1 grn normally with a single baffle. When I operate it and my...

    38 super anybody got one?

    The following is the first 300 shots out of a new Les Baer 38 Super 1.5" PII gun I bought back about 4 years ago now. 50 shots per target, 15 yards in the order I fired them. Note Baer says to do at least 500 rounds before you clean it, so I did 300 the first day and then 300 the next if I...

    38 super anybody got one?

    These are some of my 38 Supers. I have Les Baer's (all 1.5"guns) Colt Super Stallion (gold cup) and a match EAA that is a lot of fun to shoot. The thing about Super's is the accuracy and the ease of shooting. See the next post due to the number of pictures.

    Ruger LCP Explosion

    And who said the 380 auto is not that powerful? Looks like bad ammo to me. Like others have said, lucky you are doing ok and not seriously hurt. That is a credit to Ruger and the deity of your choice. The fault is probably with the ammo. Save everything, send the pictures to both companies...

    Open carry in Texas 'much ado about nothing,' despite doomsayers' predictions

    I have seen a few 07 signs but frankly I have not seen any open carry folks so far. I take the same attitude about 07 signs as I do 06 signs. They really mean, "I don't want your business". No problem, plenty other fish in the sea. I usually try to tell them why I won't patronize their...

    Wasted morning at a gunshow

    While I rarely buy at gun shows, I have walked out with some real gems. Dan Wesson Model 40 357 maximum, near NIB without the box for a good price. 38/44 original ammo, full boxes of the stuff 357 magnum large primer ammo. 38/44 Pre-war outdoorsman many mags plenty of used dies and reloading...

    EMP 4", anyone seen or shot one?

    The CCO idea is what I was thinking. I agree they are not cheap, but I found my emp to be accurate and reliable but I never really fell in love with it. The longer barrel has a better look to me and if they extended the frame that would help me a bunch. I sold mine about 3 weeks back...

    EMP 4", anyone seen or shot one?

    I just sold my EMP 9mm a few weeks back but the new EMP 9mm 4" looks kind of interesting. I was curious if anyone had one, shot it and what are your thoughts? Thanks
