    Any interest in a light weight .45 colt snub?

    As I await my my new .45 Colt Vaquero I was thinking that a light weight double action .45 Colt could be a good seller as a CC gun. I know the cylinder would be pretty fat compared to a Smith 642, but I think a heavy bullet would do well in a short barrel. I've seen Taurus make some...

    Do you know who to call?

    It just occured to me, that if I was ever involved in a defensive shooting and I wound up in a holding cell I have no idea who to call. I don't know if it's like in the movies where they give you just one phone call, but what if you tried to call a friend and no one answered? What next? It...

    The Birds Head Vaquero is back!

    http://www.ruger.com/products/vaqueroDE/specSheets/5151.html It comes in both .45 Colt and .45 Auto! I'm so excited! I always wanted one of these and was so bumed when they stopped making them. Now's my chance. I'm putting money down on one tomorrow. The down side is I just spent $97 at...

    Help me decide.

    OK, I've got a fat Cabela's gift card in my wallet and I've widdled down my decision to two firearms. Please stick to these two guns only when you vote! I know there's a lot of .44 vs .45 threads, but I want to specifically narrow it down to these short barrled new Vaqueros. They will be used...

    Anyone try Hornady Zombie Bullets?

    http://www.hornady.com/ammunition/zombiemax Still unsure what is so special about them, but they claim good stopping power on zombies.

    Are cast bullets the road to big power in a pistol?

    It seems like all the hottest buffalo bore rounds for pistols are some type of cast bullet. I"ve been looking to closely recreate their hot .38 special load and the hottest data I can find for a 158gr bullet is for a cast bullet with 6.3gr of HS-6 behind it that should push it out to 1010fps...

    Aluminum or steel subframe?

    I'd already set my heart on a Sig P238 but as you guys know there are many variations of this pistol. I"ve always prefered all steel guns but since my local dealer passed away I may be forced to get whatever Cabela's has in stock. Now my question is, when it comes to mating surfaces on a...

    Anyone use this Triple K holster?

    I was at Cabela's today and I got a Triple K 196-10 holster for my 1911. The tag says "walnut oil-plain". I thought that was just the color, until I tried using it. First off, this thing smells worse than the devil's butthole. Second, whenever I pull my gun out the front sight (white dot) is...

    1911 extractor tool list

    Hello everyone! I'm trying to get to $100 on MidwayUSA to get the $15 off so I was thinking of getting everything I need to polish and tune my extractor on my POS Taurus. I've found lots of info on how to do it, but I don't know what tools to buy. I assume I need a stone for the faces so...

    .38 vs .357 short barrel data

    I've heard on this forum that out of a short barrel .38 special is just about the same as .357 Magnum so I decided to put it to the test! Test weapon: Ruger SP-101 3" 158gr Berry's 3.7 Bull 684fps 164 ft/lbs (favorite target load) 158 XTP 4.5 Bull 789fps 218 ft/lbs (+P...

    Do you make your own powder?

    I recently found some videos online of people making their own powder. It looks pretty easy. My question is, why? Is it cheaper? Can you make it better? Or is it just something fun to do? I really think it would be neat to do everything on my own, from making the powder and the bullet, but...

    Scaled down frame?

    I've been looking at a Davidson's Exclusive Ruger Vaquero in .45 Colt and they say it has a "scaled down frame". What does this mean? It's not a .22 replica or anything. Is the frame on this gun actually smaller than a regular New Vaquero...

    Do you carry handloads or factory ammo?

    I'm just wondering what you guys trust more. I think most people would say as a defalt answer that factory stuff is trusted more but as of right now, i've had a few failures with factory ammo and no failures with my handloads. I'm thinking of carrying loads that I inspected carefully myself...

    Colt Mustang?

    I've been looking for a small, thin great shooting .380 and the new Colt Mustang looks almost perfect with an exception of the sights (and maybe the plastic guide rod). It seemed almost like a done deal for me but then I saw a Colt rep talking about future plans to make a Mustang with nite...

    What's wrong with my 9mm Luger?

    First some info. COL 1.155" Very light taper crimp with 0.376 near the mouth. Berry's 115grain RN plated bullets. Assorted brass. 4.2gr of Bullseye This is my handload. I tried to replicate some cheap Walmart Federal loads that ran good in my P1 and they do run great in my Walther...

    Flash holes?

    I've been cleaning out primer pockets all day on assorted .45 Auto brass and I've noticed a lot of different flash holes. Is a big hole better than a small one? Or is one better suited for a specific purpose?
