Hi all, I'm trying to add more great gun podcasts to my listening library. I've always loved Michael bane, the gun nation and a lot of the stuff on the Firearms Radio Network. Any other favorites out there?

Hello all! Thought some of you might find this interesting. Out at the range the other day with my S&W Model 60 (early 70's vintage I believe) I fired five shots, a reload, then five more shots. I tried opening the cylinder and I could not. Only after i disassembled the gun could I get it open...

Hello all!! Thanks for the great responses on the Handgun myths rumors and urban legends question I posted a few weeks ago. I have a quick question though regarding mid 1900s police revolvers. I know that .38 Special and other rimmed revolver rounds were the standard police sidearm, but my...

Hello Everyone! First off, let me thank everyone on this forum for many hours of reading pleasure. Although I don't post on here very often, many an hour of my time is spent perusing and enjoying the discussions here. I am currently hosting a new podcast called Handgun Radio on the Firearms...

Hello all! I've done some searching but so far have come up empty. Does anyone know where I can find a bobbed hammer for a Smith & Wesson Model 60? I'd like to try carrying it with a bone hammer, but don't want to ruin my factory hammer in case I decide I want to go back to that config. Does...

Hello all, I had a chance the other day to shoot what I was told is an Uberti Rolling Block pistol in .22 LR. It did say A. Uberti on the barrel and it was a great shooter. However, I've done a couple Internet searches and have come up with very little in the way of info. Has anyone ever...

Hello all, I have an old H&R style top break revolver that I am refinishing just as a small project. I'm at the stage where I want to refinish the gun, and I am curious about rust bluing. I have been told that rust bluing is far superior to cold blue products, and provides a more durable, long...

Hello everyone! I was thinking about the strangest calibers I'd fired during my shooting career and it got me thinking: what are the strangest or most uncommon calibers you have owned or fired? At the range a few months ago, a guy had a 9x25 Dillon conversion on a Glock and he let me fire it...

Here in Central Maine, a local business owner has a tradition of putting up billboards over his cleaning shop thanking our first responders, soldiers & veterans, etc. Today I drove by and saw his newest billboard: Thanks, Ryan

Hey everyone! I thought some of you might find this video interesting. I cooked up some handloads of a 148 grn Hornady Wadcutters over a starting load of 2.0 grn Trail Boss. Luckily I only loaded 4 rounds to function test. The first two shots seem fine, but at the third shot, if you watch...

Hello all! Just wanted to share my discovery in case there were any others out there like me looking for a cheap range holster for their Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless. I rolled the dice and picked up the small size of the Bulldog Leather universal belt slide holster at Cabelas. It paid off...

Hello all I am considering doing some light bluing on a project pistol I have. I have little experience with metal finishing and I am curious as to what steps I would need to take to have a decent looking finish with the available cold blue products. I know I will not get something with a like...

Hello all I'm going to begin reloading the .32 ACP soon for my Colt 1903 Pocket. I am familiar with loading 9mm but I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice or lessons for loading this cartridge or loading for this gun. Thanks!

Hello all- I was just listening to the Gun Guy Radio podcast that was dealing with Cowboy Action Shooting. It covered the new Wild Bunch matches and what guns you could use and it got me thinking, are there any competitions that allow the use of any gun manufactured between 1895-1930? If not...

Hello all, Found a Colt 1903 after some more searching, a good price at 240 cash from a local shop. My question is, would you go to the trouble of refinishing it or would you leave it as is? I can already tell that some previous owner already reblued it, judging by the splotchy patches on the...

Hello All, I have the opportunity to pick up a Colt Model 1903 Pocket in .32 ACP. It has some light holster-type wear and some light pitting on one side, but other than that looks to be sound. The shop is asking 400$ for it. There is one SIGNIFICANT problem however; the grip safety. While...

Hello All, I am asking for assistance in finding a Smith & Wesson Model 36 or Model 60 here in Maine. My father is retiring from our local police department after 31 years of service, and I would like to get a small J-Frame and have it engraved with his Badge, Rank & Name and dates of...

Hello All, I've been pondering on what my next gun purchase will be. I'm torn between calibers and platforms. I would really like to get something in .38 Super, but i have had NO experience with that cartridge and would love to get some honest opinions on the cartridge from folks on here...

Hello everyone, I am interested in acquiring a steel target for pistol practice on the range. I am currently shooting .22 LR, .38/.357 Magnum handloads and 9mm handloads and would like something reactive for when I'm outside shooting. I have looked at the MGM targets website and a simple 8"...

Hey all, Just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with the 148grn LHBWC from Hornady and Trail Boss powder in .38 Spl. The data on Hodgon/IMR website states that the minimum charge of TB is 2.0grn and the max charge is 2.3grn. Has anyone used this combination and if so were you...
